Outside of GWAR's Nov. 15 performance in Spokane, Wash., a religious group protested the show, yelling about how Dave Brockie is currently burning in Hell.
I first learned Dave Brockie of GWAR had died the morning of, before any "big" outlet had written about it. I was really hoping it wasn't true, I hoped that it would turn out to be a hoax. I kept banking on USA Today or CNN to say "Frontman Alive and Well - Victim of Hoax."
It's always amazing when metal gets its due respect from mainstream media. It's even greater when a television legend like Jon Stewart takes a moment to memorialize a late metal icon like GWAR frontman Dave Brockie (aka Oderus Urungus), which is exactly what happened last night (March 25) on 'The Daily Show.'
