R.I.P. WHARGOUL

I was fourteen when I fell in love with GWAR. That was a long time ago, I hate to say it was a lifetime ago. The music was a constant in my life. They are the only band I've gotten into fights over. I even went to jail over them once. We GWAR fans are fanatics, make no mistake. Being that as it is, yesterday was a tragic days for those of us who loved not only GWAR but DBX and SLAVE PIT TV as well. Yesterday, Dave Brockie died. He was only 50.


Over the years I have heard many rumors about Dave Brockie and in part I came here to dispel the stupider of them. I have decided not to. I think Dave would have liked it better to have everyone think that he was whatever the fuck they think he was. And if he wouldn't have, Oderus would have. I will say that the man was a genius poet regardless of what the myopic masses think, their vision pressed too firmly to the frontlines to see where the truth lives in the middle. Also, he was and will remain the most innovative artist of my generation. My parents had KISS and we had GWAR.


How did he die?


How the fuck do you think he died? Probably with a needle in his arm or a dollar bill up nose, both full of some illicit substance, searching for his lost guitar amongst the fodder of numerous forgotten debauch. I only hope some cocksucker didn't sell him a hot shot. Anyone who can find pictures of the genius's corpse should post them all over the internet forthwith. Normally I wouldn't say something like this, but once again, I'm sure Dave would have wanted it that way. He was a pretty limitless guy. He represented the destruction of puritanical views. I like that. There's nothing quite as pathetic or hypocritical as living like a fucking puritan and Dave Brockie make a killing from taking a giant shit all over that life.


At the end of the day, he had more balls than you, and that is why his death should be written about time and time again. Even Christ would agree: "Dave could have done it better."


Farewell, King Queen. You will be missed. Enjoy the Great Krak-Down in the Sky.
