Been with band since I believe Violence Has Arrived...around that time. He was very talented. Seen 'em live atleast 10 times..lol

I wonder how he died...overdose or natural cause?

I have many of their DVDs I got when I was a huge fan.

Live from Antarctica was one of the coolest concerts ever filmed.

That sucks :( I love GWAR they put on one hell of a show....

I have seen Gwar around a dozen or so times. They always put on a great show, one time the opening band was AWOL, so Gwar played for 4 straight hours at Bogart's in Cincinnati.

I also know Techno-Destructo IRL. His name is Hunter, he once gave me a stack of Gwar Comics to sell because I didn't have beer money. A real cool dude.

dammit!

Played on a second stage for a big metal festival many moons ago. GWAR was one of the headliners on the main stage. Got to hang out with a few of them, including Mr. Smoot. He seemed like a damn decent guy.

The statement from Brockie is heart wrenching.
