It really was. Felt like a party. Granted, the lame venue didn't let GWAR use their full arsenal of crazy **** they shoot at you, but the same with ICP. From what I hear ICP at The Gathering is an absolute spectacle not to be missed that is worthy of a climax to a days long festival. I'd honestly go to The Gathering at a moment's notice if only to people watch and see what ICP do at the end. Whatever the case, ICP were easily the more dramatic and charismatic, whereas GWAR relied much more on visual spectacle rather than actual performance.

We're talking about the impact of shock artists, which is inevitably tied to time period. Were you there to see the impact of Alice Cooper? No. Neither was I. So neither of us can truly judge but by hindsight, so judging the cultural impact of ICP when you were still sucking on your mom's tits is kind of impossible. By the time you were a thing ICP were a meme, but that says absolutely nothing of when they hit the mainstream.
