Huge fan Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 http://www.heavyblogisheavy.com/2014/03/24/confirmed-dave-brockie-oderus-urungus-has-passed-away/ 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.

The Black Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 (edited) Loved his humor.I was thinking about taking the gf to see them next time they toured around here, because she told me the worst show she ever saw was Gwar. Would've been a hilarious surprise.R.I.P. Edited March 24, 2014 by The Black Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ohlovelyrita Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 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.

dalsh327 Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 It's still not up on the band's site (although their Gwar-B-Q is, it should still go on and do it and have fun remembering him), but that really sucks to hear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DR DOOM Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 (edited) Welcome back, is it the same?Smelly but now old and lameDid you ever think to miss me?Here's my ass come on and kiss meWe come on out here, none but the braveAnd then I say to myself why do I stay and stayIs there a reason? Hypocrisy?But in the end I only got just what you gave to meWhat'd ya get? Share it with meWhat'd ya get? Did you get it for freeThen it ain't worth nothing babyWe got a deli, we got a busWe got a lot of people throwing rocks at usWe got a tour lined up, we got a showI got a midget following me everywhere I go nowHe says his name is Joe now, I really just don't know nowNone but the brave, why do you stay and stay?Sad enough to make me cry, strong enough to make me dieNow I'm feeling saddle soreNow I'm feeling warmKeep you here safe from harm, tuck you down inside my armAnd when you're lonely and afraidRemember the love we made Edited March 24, 2014 by DR DOOM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DR DOOM Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 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.

Zint Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 Wow, what happened?Glad I got to see them a few times over the years before this happened.R.I.P....but I somehow think you'll be raising a ruckus wherever you are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DR DOOM Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DR DOOM Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 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.

dalsh327 Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 "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."
