ODERUS LOVES HELLYEAH
GWAR vocalist (and MetalSucks’s own Abigail Van Buren) Oderus Urungus decided to voice his opinions about the music of Hellyeah from the stage at a concert in Buffalo this past Wednesday evening, and he did so in a manner of such eloquence that I almost think we should ask him to write album reviews for us, too. Here’s video of Oderus’ appraisal of Hellyeah’s music, courtesy of Sofakingcoolonline.com:

That Oderus is outspoken and opinionated is nothing new — I mean, he told Dave Mustaine to “keep your fucking mouth shut” less than a month ago — but the guys in Hellyeah still felt a need to respond via Twitter:
And the thing is, factiously insulting Oderus by calling him a “classy guy” really does not work as a jibe at all, for two reasons:
- Oderus is a dude who walks around on stage in a thong with a giant fake cock spraying his fans with liquids meant to resemble blood, urine, semen, and who knows what else. I don’t think “classy” has ever been what he was going for.
- Did Hellyeah, the band with songs called “Pole Rider” and “Alcohaulin’ Ass,” just take someone to task for lacking class? Are they operating under the impression that their music is being used for ballroom dancing or something?
I also don’t really understand why Hellyeah put their own band name as a hashtag at the end of the tweet, but I guess that’s a whole other discussion.
So anyway, that happened.
