- This article is about the former GWAR bassist, for similarly named character and current rythmn guitarist, see Balsac the Jaws of Death.
In the original 1985 GWAR lineup, BalSac (played by Chris Bopst of the Alter Natives) played bass, while Jaws of Death was a separate character played by Death Piggy's Steve Douglas. After the first couple of shows, Douglas and Stephen Sphincter (Death Piggy drummer Sean Sumner) both left the band, and Bopst's recruited Jim Thompson (Hans Orifice) and Greg Ottinger (Cornelius Carnage), both from The Alter Natives.
