When did they say that, Mike? You should keep in mind that GWAR is really only big HERE. When I first heard Lordi a couple years ago, one of the guys I worked on Imhotep Zine with from Finland had no idea who GWAR was when I mentioned their similar appearance to him.

My biggest gripe is that people didn't sling shit at Marilyn Manson...who did the same with Alice Cooper as Lordi is to GWAR, unendingly. MM didn't spend his ENTIRE career being crucified for doing EXACTLY what Cooper did. The comparison of Lordi and GWAR has been made. And made, and made, and made. Everyone needs to get over it. They've enjoyed HUGE success and whether you like them or not...it's not because they look like GWAR, it's because they write catchy songs.

Lordi has packed CITIES. (Watch their show clips from when they shut down Helsinki.) They're doing something right.

And I'm annoyed with the whinebags all over blabbermouth and shit, not you DwellingSickness. I'm just so sick of people (again, not you) all yelling at me like I'm not allowed to dig them because they look like GWAR. If all merit goes out the window because a band is doing something another band did first...then you should probably throw out most of your CD's right now.

Overall, my point is, "So what?". I'm over it. Everyone else should be too.

And come on, they're MONSTERS from Finland...not ALIENS marooned in Antarctica. Har har. ;)
