Today is kind of a sad day. It is the one year anniversary of the death of Gwar frontman Dave Brockie. I am a huge fan of Gwar and was totally bummed when I heard about Dave's death. But, Oderus Urungus wouldn't want us to be sad...he'd want us to scare the sh*t out of hipsters. So, in honor of the late great Dave Brockie, here are some of my favorite Gwar moments.
With new Scumdogs Blothar and Vulvatron, GWAR crush the Pet Shop Boys track 'West End Girls,' then follow it up with their own version of Jim Carroll's 'People Who Died.'
With the loss of frontman Dave Brockie earlier this year, many thought we'd seen the last of Gwar. In fact, the band had planned on not touring next year as a result of the tragic death of Oderus Urungus (Brockie) - but with former bassist Michael Bishop stepping into the slot vacated by Brockie, apparently plans have changed...
"Our special today is Oderus Urungus asparagus. And may I suggest a BalSac sazarac to complement it?"
Strange? Yes. But words to that effect may be heard soon in Richmond, VA if the guys in GWAR get their way.
