Oderus Urungus, lead throat-thing of GWAR, rulers of Earth, when told of the addition of the various guests, responded, "I give my personal seal of filthy approval to this excellent selection of bands. SUICIDAL in particular played one of the first GWAR shows ever. Tonight I shall burn a baby upon the Altar of Eternal Syphillis."
After this he grew to five times his normal size and farted himself into near-orbit.
Oderus was on his way from a super-secret meeting held at the Slave Pit in Lower Antarctica, where details of the new GWAR show were discussed. When asked to provide details, Oderus replied "No."
