GWAR frontman lashes out at Tim Lambesis condemnation

Gwar frontman Oderus Urungus has taken to Twitter to write an opinion on the current Tim Lambesis situation.

Gwar frontman Oderus Urungus has taken to Twitter to write an opinion on the current Tim Lambesis situation.


In a typically and refreshingly candid manner, the singer touches on subjects including the aforementioned Lambesis case and the perception of “hate” towards other musicians.


In a series of tweets (as compiled by theprp.com) Urungus writes:


“I have been getting lots of questions in interviews about why I hate so many people. I don’t understand the question. People in particular seem to think I “hate” Rob Zombie, Dave Mustaine, Kevin Green etc. but I never recall saying I “hated” them. I do recall threatening to rip out entrails and anally violating entire families but never hate, never hate…


I remember being swathed in gut-garlands as planets seethed below me. The plasma beams burned mile-wide paths of death. But not hate, duty.. In particular I do not “hate” Tim Lambesis, and am shocked by the metal communities seemingly universal near-condemnation of him. That might sound ridiculous coming from me, considering the horrible things I said… but those we all know were for laughs…they were funny I can’t help it I laugh at awful things.


But I was surprised at how some seemed to turn on him for real…it would not be the first time a rocker got railroaded… Not the first time the police went apeshit over bullshit evidence…entrapped him…I can see it…in America? Of course. But anybody who takes what I said for an apology of any kind for anything I ever said can go fuck themselves.”
