CONFIRMED: Dave Brockie (Oderus Urungus) Has Passed Away

UPDATE: Mobile Death Camp, the GWAR side project, has left a message for Brockie to Rest in Peace. Seals it. He’s gone.
And managerial types don’t release statements about untrue rumors.
Rest in peace, Dave Brockie.
ORIGINAL: It’s with a heavy heart that I tell you that it is indeed true that Dave Brockie, the ever-so-special frontman for GWAR has passed on.
Steve Douglas, a producer, has spoken with mutual friends of Brockie and confirmed the worst—that Brockie has indeed passed. The band’s management will be issuing a statement later today confirming all this to fans.
In addition, it could be said that Brockie’s Twitter is proof enough. The guy was on there constantly and to not hear from him in over 24 hours is basically an alarm.
Brockie’s Wikipedia page has been updated to reflect that he was indeed found dead yesterday evening.

I saw earlier this and flipped.


This is really depressing.


RIP



This is the end of the era. That was one band that was a laugh riot and went beyond in their performances.


I've been sprayed with their fake blood. Now I wish I never washed that shirt.




I hope some of you will now hush your inner noise and stop crucifying Axl Rose on this cupcake site.


I mistakenly thought it was a fair place and a fan site. It's just a playground for social misfits with few good people.


Anything happens to Axl and people might crucify this place. Bad juju comes right back.

Do not bring Axl into this thread - there is literally no reason to discuss him here.

On topic - holy shit, talk about an unexpected death. Guess this means they won't be playing the Super Bowl halftime in 2015. RIP Oderus :(

I said enough is enough. We're not using someone's RIP thread to talk about Axl or the forum.

Welcome back, is it the same?

Smelly but now old and lame

Did you ever think to miss me?

Here's my ass come on and kiss me

We come on out here, none but the brave

And then I say to myself why do I stay and stay

Is there a reason? Hypocrisy?

But in the end I only got just what you gave to me

What'd ya get? Share it with me

What'd ya get? Did you get it for free

Then it ain't worth nothing baby

We got a deli, we got a bus

We got a lot of people throwing rocks at us

We got a tour lined up, we got a show

I got a midget following me everywhere I go now

He says his name is Joe now, I really just don't know now

None but the brave, why do you stay and stay?

Sad enough to make me cry, strong enough to make me die

Now I'm feeling saddle sore

Now I'm feeling warm

Keep you here safe from harm, tuck you down inside my arm

And when you're lonely and afraid

Remember the love we made

:cry:

No metal fan should be without the Scumdogs Of The Universe album.

I recognise GWAR is an acquired taste and it's often hard to make out exactly what the fuck Dave as Oderus was saying...but once you read the words to the songs you start to realise how fucking hilarious, sharp and so dumb it's incredibly smart they are.

Dave Brockie was a one off, and fucking original too- the guy was a fucking legend.

It's so fucking weird to think he is gone... talk about larger than life.

I must admit I wasn't so keen on the more recent albums without the extended cast and silliness, but Corey Smoot (RIP) was a killer guitarist.

I've got DBX blasting as I type :headbang:

I can't see GWAR continuing on without Dave, you couldn't have somebody else as Oderus (though I'd do it if they asked me ;) )

Maybe Danyell, Chuck Varga and all the ex members might get involved again for some kind of tribute or send off...sad news indeed.

"When we wrote that song, it was intended to be a sort of parody hit like stuff that Weird Al was doing. We really thought we were lampooning stuff that Guns N Roses were doing at the time. We kinda hoped that the song would have even reached out farther than it did. But it's a great song."

"Stick to glam metal dude" :headbang: (after decapitating a douchebag in a Motley Crue shirt in "Live From Antarctica")

"80's hair bands are still hated-no false metal tolerated" :lol: (from Metal Metal Land)

metal metal land is one of my favorites.

Filthy hair and dirty faces
Flying V's and swords and maces
80's hair bands are still hated
No false metal tolerated
Heavy metal is the law
Weakness means a broken jaw
Everything is loud and fast
Metal up your fucking ass
Metal plane on metal trip
Metal hand, metal grip
:headbang::headbang::headbang:
cool interview from oderus talking about how gwar came to be.
