R.I.P. Dave Brockie

I have been to my fair share of shows in life.... and seeing Gwar is the kind of show where it doesn't matter who I'm with, I'm disappearing on them to run from one side of the stage to the other and get close as possible.

I don't think they'll continue after this. They did when Flattus Maximus died, but losing your frontman, who is both vocalist and spokesperson, is a different story.

Then again maybe they will! What better way to honor his memory than getting a dude who's at least almost as good, and writing up a story about Oderus killed in battle or something?

Always thought they were a bit of a joke but caught them live in Switzerland a couple of years back and really enjoyed them. Happy I did now.
