GWAR slaver
GWAR Slaves er medlemmer af gruppen GWAR, der er involveret i forskellige ikke-musikalske aspekter (selvom mindst fire af slaverne har sunget i GWAR- eller GWAR-relaterede projekter) af gruppen som f.eks. Prop / kostumefremstilling, skrivning, illustration og mere. Slaverne er dem der spiller GWAR-fjender som Gor-Gor og Cardinal Syn på scenen. De bærer kostumer, selvom de ikke er så udførlige som musikerne i bandet. De længste tjenende slaver i GWAR er Scott Krahl, Bob Gorman og Matt Maguire. Mike Bonner og Hunter Jackson (Techno Destructo / Scroda Moon) var også langsigtede medlemmer, men har siden forladt gruppen.
Den nuværende opstilling af slaver er
- Matt Maguire ("Mattron"/"MX2")
- Bob Gorman ("Muzzle Slave")
- Scott Krahl ("Cock & Balls Slave")
