Plot

Techno Destructo is behind all of the major assaults on GWAR since his enslavement in 1991 - attracting the attention of the Morality Squad, summoning Cardinal Syn, who in turn dispatched Skulhedface, confusing the band into thinking the year was 1999 (rather than 1996), so that they would think the coming of Cardinal Syn was, in fact, the comet RagNaRok, and the slave revolts. Though they all ended in failure, he has yet another plan - genetically modify abused (by GWAR) penguins into his army, hypnotize Slymenstra Hymen with radioactive crack cocaine, and marry her (to spite Oderus Urungus). Techno builds a robot clone of Sleazy P. Martini, and uses him to distribute the crack, while the band beats up penguins (in their time-honored sport of "Penguin-Booting"). Techno Destructo is perhaps the most famous GWAR villain (by GWARs standards). ... Slymenstra Slymie Hymen of GWAR, taken from the Crack in the Egg video from Phallus in Wonderland Slymenstra Hymen (real name: Danielle Stampe) is GWARs female vocalist & dancer. ... Oderus Urungus is both a character and an alter-ego, played by Dave Brockie, in the rock band GWAR. He appears as an intergalactic humanoid barbarian with devil horns and a meaty looking face, and always carries around a long sword named Lick (the name was shortened from Unt Lick... Sleazy P. Martini is a character played by Don Drakulich in the theatrical heavy metal band GWAR, he is generally seen wearing a gigantic necklace with a dollar symbol, a large afro and a bright purple suit. ...

With the band incapacitated, he proposes to Slymenstra (the stone on the engagement ring is a piece of radioactive crack, as well), and sends the first wave of mutant penguins after GWAR. They are promptly defeated. The wedding, officiated by the Pope, turns into disaster, when the crack wears off, and Slymenstra uses her nether region to punish Techno. In the backdrop of "Hate Love Songs," he jousts Oderus. After he is defeated again, he commandeers the microphone, regains his robotic arm (having been disarmed upon enslavement) with the slaves' help, and attacks GWAR. Though he initially defeats the band, Oderus and Slymenstra ultimately win out long enough for a newly-revived Gor-Gor (revived with the radioactive crack residue) to start eating him.

The concert ends with the subdued "Don't Need A Man" video, featuring Balsac the Jaws of Death on piano, Beefcake the Mighty on upright bass, and Slymenstra's lounge singing.

Miscellaneous

• The concert in the video was Peter Lee's final performance as Flattus Maximus, as he became physically unable to continue with the band. Lee had been shot in the stomach four years prior to the concert, and was not improving much - he ultimately needed surgery, which prompted his actual leaving the band a few weeks later.

• The "Don't Need A Man" video was co-directed by Danielle Stampe, and features every member of Slave Pit, Inc. at that time in one scene (with the exceptions of Stampe and Matt Maguire, who were behind the door the other members crowd around).

• For most of her time in GWAR, Stampe would perform the fire-dance routine during the 1990 song "The Horror Of Yig." During this video, and many concerts on the tour, this song was part of the wedding scene, and thus she performed it to "Sammy."
