Video: Gwar – Carry On My Wayward Son

It’s no secret we’ve become huge fans of the AV Club’s Undercover series in which band’s tackle classic cover tunes from the publication’s office studio. Until now, it seemed the bar for quality went up with every new installment. Well, that was before Gwar showed up and set the standard permanently. From the banter to the note for note rendition of the classic Kansas song, Gwar wins in all categories. I actually feel sorry for anyone who comes next. It’s like having Jimi Hendrix open your headlining gig.

Here’s the quote of the day right here, “Kansas was a big part of music when bands were often named after geographical locations. Let’s just hope that never happens again, because those bands suck.”
