Hell-O

The original vinyl album contained a comic book about the band, featuring artwork parodying Picasso's Guernica (renamed "Gwarnica" here) and poking fun at the "this is your brain on drugs" commercials ("This is your brain on Gwar...").

It's Sleazy

Soon after the messy "resolution" between her and her son, their next host, Wally Lipsmear, a now mentally insane and gender confused post-surgery midget and former MTV "V.J.", given the "Giuliani" treatment upon refusing the airing of GWAR's music videos for not having a "negro" in the band, is immediately crushed by debris by long lost sojourning Scumdog Scrouta Moon, who walks in on set through a wall.

League of Blind Women

League of Blind Women was a short-lived all-star alternative rock band that included Robert Buck (lead guitar) from 10,000 Maniacs, Jerry Augustyniak (drums) from 10,000 Maniacs, Casey Orr (bass) from Gwar and Rigor Mortis, Mike Scaccia (guitar) from Ministry and Rigor Mortis, Kol Marshall (keyboards) from Critical Mass and See No Evil, and Chris Kelly (vocals).

Murderer's Muse

Following after GWAR's retreat from battle in War Is All We Know, Murderer's Muse details this escape as GWAR hide in the underground tunnels beneath their fortress, eventually coming across Jitler, a being created due to Adolf Hitler's crimes being so vast he had to merge with Jesus Christ as the song details "right at the ass".

"Murderer's Muse" is the third track in GWAR's 2006 album Beyond Hell, following directly after War Is All We Know and featuring a similar musical style, with the main difference being that Oderus' vocals are more reminiscent of his style during the This Toilet Earth era and the use of samples from 1964 movie Evil Brain from Outer Space.

Sibi Gwar

Gwar hails from Gboko in Konshisha local government area of Benue State and attended the Government Secondary School, Gboko (1991–1998).

In June 2010, Argentine football coach Rodolfo Zapata, the former coach of Sunshine Stars FC, named Gwar in a list of players he thought should form the basis of the future Nigeria national football team.

Slaves Going Single

Tracks one, two, four, and five are taken from the recording sessions of Gwar's Emmy-nominated contribution to the soundtrack for the movie S.F.W., and mainly consist of Dave Brockie and Mike Derks' drunken banter.

In 2000, Slave Pit collected two or three songs from each of the Slave Pit Singles (except for Köszönöm, which was never part of Gwar to begin with), and printed its own Slaves Going Single album in a run of 1000.

The last three tracks come from Gwar's films - the first two from Skulhedface and the last from Phallus in Wonderland, respectively.
