I still get sad that he's not around anymore 😑 many under appreciate Gwar, people think they are just a silly band who make dumb but fun metal music but listening to their stuff a lot again lately yes they are obviously satirical and it's funny, but they are genuinely really fucking good, to me personally. I consider it true hardcore music, and they did it brilliantly! I've always taken them more seriously than maybe they are supposed to be? Don't know 😂 Good to see someone thinks the same. Dave was a great creative musician.
You can't credit something for which people can not categorize. Hence the real meaning of GWAR's existence. To not be placed into any one thing and then become nothing, but to be everything and still be everything nothing is. A mere classification does not greatness make.
I agree. If GWAR was just costumes and gimmicks it wouldn't be that interesting. But the first time I saw them play I said "Hey this band is really good! And the singer has a cool voice!" (And the blood and silliness is just a bonus.)
I met Dave once in 1999. 👹 I was 18 years old. He was just as funny in person as he was on stage. I feel incredibly fortunate that I spoke with him, shook his hand, and gave him a Cigarette. I know he's now in a Paradise words couldn't describe. 🕯
yea i remember seeing gwar with him. probably the best concerts ever! im sure the new line up is awesome too but i havent been out to see them. i shoulld
I'll never forget Dave Brockie waiting in line beside me to get in to see the Reverend Horton Heat at Alley Katz in Richmond. He was on the list for the opening band bc they were locals. When we walked in & I said I was on the Rev's list, he said "I can't even get on the Reverend's list. What did YOU do?" I told him I had a bigger chest than him & we laughed... It was really weird having him ask me what I did to get on the guest list bc he's freaking Oderus Urungus! 😂 Rest in peace Dave. You'll always be a legend to me & I'll never forget you 💜

And if Dave wasn't delayed it would have been much longer. I was there, and speaking with Derks, there was a cut off time for the city by-laws that's why they stopped "early". Nevertheless epic epic epic show
Holy fucking hell I'm enjoying this. I'm so glad there's some good quality film of him performing out of costume. This is ultra-rare punk/metal history you're watching. Rest in peace Dave, You were an odd creature.
he's one of those people who has a voice that i'm always dumbfounded to hear it come from him when he's not playing oderus. just like when you hear whatever voice actor do a voice in a real life.. sometimes you attribute that voice so much to the character it's surreal to see the voice come from a real person. such a good band
well... his normal voice sounds quite close to brian so that's not so much of a stretch. peter griffin is pretty distinct though so that's entertaining to watch
I always thought of Oderus as sort of a real life cartoon character. Such a voice, goofy at times, but always amazingly awesome, that you just doesn't sit right in my mind as coming from a normal human being.
Jet lagged, lost luggage, food poisoning, vomitose all night, a band member gone(love you Flattus) do they cancel the show? Fuck no they pull out a Hell of a set!!! Dave you were the best and will be missed dearly... Randy B. Glad you didn't do time over some b.s.
@DISGRUNTLED DEWEY apparently so, seeing as you were somehow allowed to comment. Obviously OP doesn't mean in terms of pitch or hitting perfect notes or octave range, but instead meaning one of the greatest within the genre, due to his uniqueness, creativity, originality, sound presence and so much more. You know, things that make him stand out above all the rest. Being great at something doesn't always mean being perfect or professionally trained. People, unlike you, who don't set their judgement standards based on the "mainstream", are able to see and appreciate those that are true masters of their art and have an amazing ability to create something very unique and inspiring outside the societal norm.
Got to see Gwar ten times with Dave. What a fucking legend. All metal frontmen should strive to be half as awesome as he was. At least he can rest easy knowing the bands still great. Just different. Seen them with Blothar six times.
The intro of 'Immortal Curroptor' gives it all away. Dave is in constant pain because of Cory's death. That's why he drinks so much and finally found oblivion in heroine. That one minute of heartfelt agony and finding support in a mikestand says more than everything. Hope you found peace now, Dave!
man, ive been a fan since scumdogs and ive seen gwar 4 times over the years. An amazing band that can never be matched. dave was so underrated as a vocalist and performer.none like him and he cant be replicated. RIP Oderus
I was at this show . 519 punk reunion at Riverside park in Guelph ont. Where i live. Crowd was subdued for most of the bands. Headliners RAWG came on late waiting for Dave. He shows up last minute , havin a bad day, says fuck it lets play some rock n roll crowd went nuts. Loved the guy immediately. Very likeable. Can tell hes havin a good time. Smokin weed from the crowd. Wish i hadda stuck around and drank with them afterwards. Was very sad to hear he died. Something seriously cool about him. RIP Oderus
Dude, it was the coolest night! I did sound for all the bands except Asexuals, and got to hang with him after for a while. Glad I was able to get a couple of pics with him.
Dave was actually in several punk bands before he formed GWAR. I believe the most heard of is DeathPiggy? Something like that. He was a very talented dude.
I'm so fucking happy you captured this and chose to share it with everyone who couldn't be there to experience it. Just overjoyed to see this moment in time. It's the highest and lowest form of art all at once, a nuclear explosion of raw talent and power. THANK YOU!
GWAR is one those bands that got exponentially better with age. I grew up listening to them, but didn't get the chance to see them live until 2007 when I was in my early 20s; it was well worth the wait. I've seen them countless times since then and hope they're still around to play at my funeral. RIP Brockie. Btw, super tight video. I often come back and watch this specific concert at least once a month. There's something about seeing them without all the costumes that's special. Even though he's been doing it so long, singing like Brockie does must be hard on his throat and body, but he makes it looks easy as fuck.
On this day 2 years ago we lost our beloved Dave Brockie. Not a day goes by that I don't think about Dave and what he meant to the world. I miss you and your crazy soul. Thank you for all the great music we the world get to enjoy for all time to come.... -A bohab-
When you get rid of the ridiculous costumes and stage show (which was fkin awesome btw) it really showcases how talented he was. Great singer and front man.
The first time I saw them was summer 92 in Syracuse NY. For the encore they came out completely naked except for Slymenstra. Oderus jumped into the crowd and landed right on my head. We couldn’t hold him up to crowd surf bc he and everything was soaked in sweat beer and GWAR stuff. He hit the floor hard. And got right back up to finish Sick Of You. One of my fondest life moments.
I got to meet Dave after a show (we had a mutual friend) and was amazed at how nice he was. I'll never forget the quick chat we had, just two guys talking music and having a good laugh. RIP, Dave.
Noticeably absent is Brent (lead guitar). He was just joining the group this very month, but I guess it hadn't been finalized yet. Mike D did a great job carrying the full guitar load during this period.
I am 51 years old and have cut my teeth on many punk/metal groups...but No one has ever delivered a performance like this..ever...rip Brockie..thank you Matt..oh and high Emma 🤘
Thank you very much Dwayne...I used a Zoom H2 on a stand back at the mixing board...which recorded a non-distorted .wav file that I put together with the video footage....and I got as close to the front of the stage with the camera as possible.
My first Gwar show was in 1990 at Bogart's in Cincinnati. I've seen them 26 times since then, only once without Brockie. I got to meet him briefly when they were the opening band for the Aardvark Ballroom in Dayton Ohio. He was quite a guy. I still miss him and his genius. Fuck heroin!
I know I've already commented alot but I cant help but be amazed at the passion and intensity they still have at what appears to be a small crowd,and after damn near 30 years. It can be hard to tell with their costumes on but there is no question here. They are not just going through the motions. They still clearly love what they do and that is awesome.We miss you, Dave!
salamagogo saw rawg back early nineties in a club barely bigger than that stage. at some point in taking my beating in the mosh, I realized I was in proximity to genius.
Jenult No! It isn't fucking right at all! Why? Why not Justin Bieber?! Why not Miley Cyrus or even her mullet headed dad? Britney Spears. Even that chick with the red hair the freckles? Lohan! Why not her? Fuck. It's such bullshit. Nobody can be Dave either. Nobody. Not you. Not even me. Not your pal. Not my pal. Not my Uncle that touched my peepee when I had my first beer. Nobody. No one. Not a single soul can be Dave. He's gone. And Cory's gone. It's shit. What the fuck is happening? It seems like you've gotta BE a stupid, privileged, piece of fucking shit, scum of the earth, bag of pig vomit in order to make it in this life. Cause all people who are remotely 'cool', just end up dead. And that fucking sucks. It sucks! ... Fuck. Thank you for sharing the grief, man. This is still hard for me. And I never even really met the guy. Him and his music just influenced me so hard from such an early age. I've been to 12 GWAR shows! There will not be a 13th for me. And that rips at me hard, too. No new GWAR albums. No tours. None of that shit. No more Oderus Urungus and his cuttle fish. No more getting drenched in whatever spewing filth they have to drench us with at their shows. Like many other deaths in the music industry that we all have went through. We will get through this. But we will NEVER forget Dave Brockie. Never.
Glorbin Highbit I agree, man. Last time I saw Gwar was in '08 I believe, with the brief return of Sleazy and it happened to be on my birthday. Gwar has been one of my favorite bands, and Dave has been one of my favorite artists for a long ass time. It's hard to believe Gwar is over, without Dave it cant/wont be the same. Gwar was his everything, the guy was one of the most creative and brutally blunt and truthful people making music. I'm equally bummed, man... never felt this bummed about a mans death I didn't know personally...
Glorbin Highbit I feel your pain. 100%! It has been over a month and I still can't help but sit here for at least an hour a night just going through interviews and live videos that I have already seen and some that I haven't. GWAR molded my view of artistry and humor at a young age and they were always around when I was growing up. From their Hot Seat appearance, to the Beavis & Butthead video game that I spent weeks trying to beat, to America Must Be Destroyed blasting in my older brother's truck while we drove to and from hobby shops and record stores, GWAR was there and I was never shocked by them. I just grew up thinking that it was what musicians that gave a shit were supposed to do. I celebrated so many milestones at GWAR shows. They were the first band that I ever saw while high, the first band I ever saw while shitfaced...the only band I ever drove over six hours to see, got there late and only caught the last 15 minutes of the show, but was still happy because I got to go to Waffle House afterward, covered in stage blood and spew. I even got to see them on my 21st birthday in Las Vegas when they were on the Sounds of the Underground tour in 2006. Dave Brockie and his body of work have been such a huge influence on me over the last 20 years and I'll always regret that I didn't just run up to the guy, hug him and tell him how much everything he has done has meant to me, in the parking lot after a show. I don't think he would have minded.
Brockie and gwar/slavepit will forever be, the single biggest influence in doing it yourself and at a high level, without strings. Pure raw art for 3 decades is a legacy untouched by most groups.....thanks dave for existing.
@@ArturAxmann-zp3cm It rarely happens in metal/rock bands. The only exception I can think of is Brian Johnson. He didn't sound like Bon, he gave AC/DC another sound.
@@killerseddie8295 you're damn right he didn't sound like Bon. Brian had NOTHING on Bon Scott! All Brian did was try to imitate Bon and ended up sounding like he was perpetually constipated.
@@FilthTribeFTP I wasn't trying to imply that Brian was bad, quite the contrary. He was just a completely different sound. Hells Bells will never be replicated.
Ole Gwar, when they play in Richmond, everyone comes out the woodwork to see them, people I knew from middle school popup with their little kids. Every show was a middle / HS reunion for me. Brocke showed up at a few poker games my buddy had, he was loud and drunk as hell but it's crazy to have a punk rock / metal legend like him just walk in your door and sit at the table.
One of the most amazing performances I've ever seen. Dave was up there with Mike Patton and Chuck Billy as one of the best metal singers ever. So unique.
It’s crazy. With the costume, you kinda take for granted the amazing range and fluctuations in his vocals. Seeing it coming out of a man and not a beast really make you appreciate what an insane vocalist he was. One of a kind.
Heinrich the White that’s not singing lol. That’s yelling. He literally sounds like a wannabe drunk dad in a band. That being said the music is good. Vocals? Horrid.
NathanDrums You’re an idiot. You’re clearly unfamiliar with Gwar. Wannabe drunk dad? Go fuck yourself, Moron. Go listen to disturbed or whatever the fuck
LOL Never gets old seeing Dave's face up close during the breakdown in Sick Of You. The second time he says "Don't you know? So sick of you. The things you say....the things you do." With his eyes shut, enunciation & look of authentic disgust on his face is the best 😭. RIP brother.
13 people sat down for the entire time. Tragically, after the show GWAR fell upon them, slaughtered them and ate them. On a bit lighter note, this worked out great for the food bank fundraiser barbeque later that night. 28:38 You're scaring the slaves, bro! Long live Oderus!!! Have fun smoking that great giant crack rock in the sky far far away from this cesspool planetoid earth! RIP Dave.......
God damn Dave Brokkie/ Could spit those Punk/Metal barking speed- hymnaks and Anthems and speed almost.m Metal/spunk-punk rock fire like no other, I love him... fucking never forget the very first time I heard GWAR "Salaminizor" was my first... And Still IS my all time fav Gear song.. that was . Like 1989-1991 when I was like 9-10 yo
So this is GWAR dressed as humans? Very convincing costumes!
❤️❤️❤️❤️
😁😁
thats orderus butt boy
@@skimask5049 No shit..
@@skimask5049 brown eye boy..😆
Dave should be in the rock n roll Hall of Fame
No, bro. They wouldn't be GWAR if they were in the HOF.
legend never die!
Enormously underrated vocalist and artist.
It's not good enough for him.
Goddamn right.
It's pretty cool that GWAR let their butt boys have a band.
That's funny
Gotta throw a bone sometimes to keep the slaves' morale up.
Dave Brokie was the lead singer of GWAR. What are you talking about?
@@johngrayatkinson1214 read up on the lore of gwar bud.
Caleb Bell yeah I get what youre sayin now
RIP Brockie we lost someone who never got the proper credit he disserved. The real ones know though 🤘🤘🤘
I feel so lucky to have gotten to see GWAR and X-Cops 7 or 8 times through the 90's. Dave was a fucking genius and sorely underrated.
I still get sad that he's not around anymore 😑 many under appreciate Gwar, people think they are just a silly band who make dumb but fun metal music but listening to their stuff a lot again lately yes they are obviously satirical and it's funny, but they are genuinely really fucking good, to me personally. I consider it true hardcore music, and they did it brilliantly! I've always taken them more seriously than maybe they are supposed to be? Don't know 😂 Good to see someone thinks the same.

You can't credit something for which people can not categorize. Hence the real meaning of GWAR's existence. To not be placed into any one thing and then become nothing, but to be everything and still be everything nothing is. A mere classification does not greatness make.
Brockie owns the stage man what a fucking performer. REST IN PEACE
brockie was one of the most unique metal singers of all time, and absolutely crushed it live
dave brockie had one of if not the most consistent voice in metal history
I've said it before, and I'll say it again. Even without the costumes and production behind them, GWAR is a kick ass metal band at its core
100% ! My path, Came for Oderus Urungus, stayed for the music and Dave Brockie! Still here for the music and the gang! \m/
I agree. If GWAR was just costumes and gimmicks it wouldn't be that interesting. But the first time I saw them play I said "Hey this band is really good! And the singer has a cool voice!" (And the blood and silliness is just a bonus.)
Dave's voice was one of a kind. You knew his voice off the bat if you heard him sing in any song. I fucking love GWAR.
Yeah
He had one of the coolest voices in rock history.
Dave Brockie had one of the most unique voices
And writing style
I always thought Sam Black Church's singer sounded very Brockie-esque.
And souls. Fuck! He was such a gift.
🐐
What a nice way to say it. Lol, definitely one badass lyricist. I think he's metal's Bob Dylan. Miss him so much, not the same without him.
Dave will never die, his body is gone, but the legend of oderus will forever live
Belly4720 oderous returned to his home planet to drink kill and fart for all eternity. Some call this Valhalla.
Belly4720 true
Damn has it been 4 years already

Belly4720 bring back Dave I have to tell him something......
Jizmak is probably the most underrated drummer out there. Totally badass!!
I met Dave once in 1999. 👹
I was 18 years old.
He was just as funny in person
as he was on stage.
I feel incredibly fortunate that I spoke with him, shook his hand, and gave him a Cigarette.
I know he's now in a Paradise words couldn't describe. 🕯
R.i.p for sure
Bohabs 4 Life
He’s in metal metal land
We need Dave Today!!! Sadly missed!!!
yea i remember seeing gwar with him. probably the best concerts ever! im sure the new line up is awesome too but i havent been out to see them. i shoulld

Nevertheless epic epic epic show
It would've been so good if they would've played the road behind.
Holy fucking hell I'm enjoying this. I'm so glad there's some good quality film of him performing out of costume. This is ultra-rare punk/metal history you're watching.
Rest in peace Dave, You were an odd creature.
"I'm sick of faggy vampires.....I smell some good weed!"
God fuckin' bless ya Dave, we miss and need ya.
Only his human form is dead..Dave will always live on!
Wow !! This so called Dave Brockie sounds exactly like Oderus, that's amazing !!
he's one of those people who has a voice that i'm always dumbfounded to hear it come from him when he's not playing oderus. just like when you hear whatever voice actor do a voice in a real life.. sometimes you attribute that voice so much to the character it's surreal to see the voice come from a real person. such a good band
Exactly!
Like seeing Seth Macfarlane doing a conversation between Peter Griffin and Brian.
well... his normal voice sounds quite close to brian so that's not so much of a stretch. peter griffin is pretty distinct though so that's entertaining to watch
I always thought of Oderus as sort of a real life cartoon character. Such a voice, goofy at times, but always amazingly awesome, that you just doesn't sit right in my mind as coming from a normal human being.
Max Plancker yeah that's the best way to describe it. it's really unbelievable.

+Daniel Greaves Cobb Knobbler is my spirit animal
kyle davis only hardcore fans know what that is haha
STFU
Brockie era gwar was kinda like fugazi, where they could make audibles and play any song on the fly. That's a band. A band band. So good.
fugazi sucks tho
@@user-pl7lr5dn8q I disagree
Dave was GWAR
R.I.P. Davey Brockie..
Thank you,and and ALL the rest of the band for your music!!
Brockie is not dead.. he lives on in every one of us!
He's hanging out with Jaques Cousteau at the intergalactic cattle-fair!
I am proud as fuck to help keep Dave Brockie living on
The GWAR doc on Shudder is everything. High recommend to anyone who hasn't seen it. Crucial. I love these boys and all that stood behind them
I watch this every once in awhile to get a smile on my face!
Same here brother. 👍👍👍
Me too!
Brockie is such a huge personality, RIP
It's insane how good of musicians they are
GWAR took the night off , and let their slave technicians have a good time...... R.I.P. Smoot/Brockie
Jet lagged, lost luggage, food poisoning, vomitose all night, a band member gone(love you Flattus) do they cancel the show? Fuck no they pull out a Hell of a set!!! Dave you were the best and will be missed dearly... Randy B. Glad you didn't do time over some b.s.
Yeah. Axl cancels when his throat is soar but goes out drinking and smoking all night. Real metal vs pussy

I can't say it enough how underrated a drummer Brad Roberts is.
Pretty sure I've watched this 10 or 15 times at this point.
They look like a bunch of guys who work for Howard Stern
That's rookie numbers but you still get a thumbs up.
Got to see Gwar ten times with Dave. What a fucking legend. All metal frontmen should strive to be half as awesome as he was. At least he can rest easy knowing the bands still great. Just different. Seen them with Blothar six times.
DAMN! And I thought I've seen the alot. I saw them 5 times with Dave and once with Blothar.....about to be a second time at Knotfest in Des Moines.
Love the backstory that these are the Human slaves of GWAR forced to perform for there very lives.
The intro of 'Immortal Curroptor' gives it all away. Dave is in constant pain because of Cory's death. That's why he drinks so much and finally found oblivion in heroine. That one minute of heartfelt agony and finding support in a mikestand says more than everything. Hope you found peace now, Dave!
It's tragic, but tragedy drives art.
Viking funeral for Mr. Brockie. We sent him off properly. RIP
Dave Brockie had an actual funeral. Oderus, the character, was given the Viking funeral

I'm really glad that he enjoyed what he did because I thoroughly enjoyed watching him do it.
This cover band rocks, i wonder if GWAR knows about them.
RIP DAVE BROCKIE!
These guys ate ORDERUS' deli tray.
Nice to see people of taste 🎶
it's amazing... it's not til now, without the makeup, that I realize just how PUNK ROCK these guys were.
Dave was actually in several punk bands before he formed GWAR. I believe the most heard of is DeathPiggy? Something like that. He was a very talented dude.
I can't believe this guy is dead... He was so full of life...
Drugs killed him....live by sword die by the sword
A candle that burns twice as bright, burns half as long. And we all know that Brockie was a bright flame
I think Dave was one of the 1st to die from a Fentanyl/Heroin overdose.
There's a reason why even Lemmy never touched heroin in his life.
@@gocsa Yeah, man.

I am 51 years old and have cut my teeth on many punk/metal groups...but No one has ever delivered a performance like this..ever...rip Brockie..thank you Matt..oh and high Emma 🤘
This is still my favorite live set recording ive seen. They sound amazing in this vid.
Thank you very much Dwayne...I used a Zoom H2 on a stand back at the mixing board...which recorded a non-distorted .wav file that I put together with the video footage....and I got as close to the front of the stage with the camera as possible.
Yeah, it sounds great and looks great, and the band is just really good, though every time ive seen them they have been really good.
This video is freaking killer bruh!!!! Love it they sound great too,thank you so much for sharing this! R.I.P. DAVE BROCKIE
I was there front and center. It was the greatest night of my life. Made it onto the video I got the scumdogs shirt on
Awesome!! The last time I was that close to them, they were dressed differently, and I was covered in blood.
@@jdad6802 nice one brother!!
I really wish they would’ve played more shows as RAWG. You can really see Dave’s facial expressions…. and they are amazing!
My first Gwar show was in 1990 at Bogart's in Cincinnati. I've seen them 26 times since then, only once without Brockie. I got to meet him briefly when they were the opening band for the Aardvark Ballroom in Dayton Ohio. He was quite a guy. I still miss him and his genius. Fuck heroin!
It was fentanyl
rip dave brockie, just as i was getting into gwar too smh i wish i would've known several years ago
I know I've already commented alot but I cant help but be amazed at the passion and intensity they still have at what appears to be a small crowd,and after damn near 30 years. It can be hard to tell with their costumes on but there is no question here. They are not just going through the motions. They still clearly love what they do and that is awesome.We miss you, Dave!
salamagogo saw rawg back early nineties in a club barely bigger than that stage. at some point in taking my beating in the mosh, I realized I was in proximity to genius.
Ugh... I miss Dave so much. I miss him so fucking much.
I know, dude... its not fuckin right..
Jenult No! It isn't fucking right at all! Why? Why not Justin Bieber?! Why not Miley Cyrus or even her mullet headed dad? Britney Spears. Even that chick with the red hair the freckles? Lohan! Why not her? Fuck. It's such bullshit. Nobody can be Dave either. Nobody. Not you. Not even me. Not your pal. Not my pal. Not my Uncle that touched my peepee when I had my first beer. Nobody. No one. Not a single soul can be Dave. He's gone. And Cory's gone. It's shit. What the fuck is happening? It seems like you've gotta BE a stupid, privileged, piece of fucking shit, scum of the earth, bag of pig vomit in order to make it in this life. Cause all people who are remotely 'cool', just end up dead. And that fucking sucks. It sucks! ... Fuck. Thank you for sharing the grief, man. This is still hard for me. And I never even really met the guy. Him and his music just influenced me so hard from such an early age. I've been to 12 GWAR shows! There will not be a 13th for me. And that rips at me hard, too. No new GWAR albums. No tours. None of that shit. No more Oderus Urungus and his cuttle fish. No more getting drenched in whatever spewing filth they have to drench us with at their shows. Like many other deaths in the music industry that we all have went through. We will get through this. But we will NEVER forget Dave Brockie. Never.
Glorbin Highbit I agree, man. Last time I saw Gwar was in '08 I believe, with the brief return of Sleazy and it happened to be on my birthday. Gwar has been one of my favorite bands, and Dave has been one of my favorite artists for a long ass time. It's hard to believe Gwar is over, without Dave it cant/wont be the same. Gwar was his everything, the guy was one of the most creative and brutally blunt and truthful people making music. I'm equally bummed, man... never felt this bummed about a mans death I didn't know personally...
Glorbin Highbit I feel your pain. 100%! It has been over a month and I still can't help but sit here for at least an hour a night just going through interviews and live videos that I have already seen and some that I haven't. GWAR molded my view of artistry and humor at a young age and they were always around when I was growing up. From their Hot Seat appearance, to the Beavis & Butthead video game that I spent weeks trying to beat, to America Must Be Destroyed blasting in my older brother's truck while we drove to and from hobby shops and record stores, GWAR was there and I was never shocked by them. I just grew up thinking that it was what musicians that gave a shit were supposed to do. I celebrated so many milestones at GWAR shows. They were the first band that I ever saw while high, the first band I ever saw while shitfaced...the only band I ever drove over six hours to see, got there late and only caught the last 15 minutes of the show, but was still happy because I got to go to Waffle House afterward, covered in stage blood and spew. I even got to see them on my 21st birthday in Las Vegas when they were on the Sounds of the Underground tour in 2006. Dave Brockie and his body of work have been such a huge influence on me over the last 20 years and I'll always regret that I didn't just run up to the guy, hug him and tell him how much everything he has done has meant to me, in the parking lot after a show. I don't think he would have minded.
got to see him at their last tour of Australia "soundwave" just b4 he passed ... fucking worth every $$$. LONG LIVE GWAR !!!
Brockie and gwar/slavepit will forever be, the single biggest influence in doing it yourself and at a high level, without strings. Pure raw art for 3 decades is a legacy untouched by most groups.....thanks dave for existing.
I've always thought it was so funny hearing THAT voice NOT coming from an intergalactic barbarian space monster.
That ending put a huge smile on my face. Sucks so much he's gone
Blothar the Berzerker aka Mike Bishop doesn't hold a candle to Oderus Urungus aka Dave Brockie
@@ArturAxmann-zp3cm It rarely happens in metal/rock bands. The only exception I can think of is Brian Johnson. He didn't sound like Bon, he gave AC/DC another sound.
@@killerseddie8295 you're damn right he didn't sound like Bon. Brian had NOTHING on Bon Scott! All Brian did was try to imitate Bon and ended up sounding like he was perpetually constipated.
@@FilthTribeFTP I wasn't trying to imply that Brian was bad, quite the contrary. He was just a completely different sound. Hells Bells will never be replicated.
@@killerseddie8295 I know you weren't. But I was. Lol.
Ole Gwar, when they play in Richmond, everyone comes out the woodwork to see them, people I knew from middle school popup with their little kids. Every show was a middle / HS reunion for me. Brocke showed up at a few poker games my buddy had, he was loud and drunk as hell but it's crazy to have a punk rock / metal legend like him just walk in your door and sit at the table.
GWAR still rocking but its not the same without you. Miss you Dave. #ripoderus
think this might be one of Dave Brockie's best vocal performances I've ever seen awesome video you were lucky to be at this show!!!
lee Bass
Imagine!!!!
Once in a lifetime!
Probably cuz he is unencumbered by a pig mask!
One of the most amazing performances I've ever seen. Dave was up there with Mike Patton and Chuck Billy as one of the best metal singers ever. So unique.
Gwar is seriously underrated
criminally underrated
Dave says "This one is for Cory". Brings tears to my eyes. Flattus Maximus & Oderus Urungus up in METAL METAL LAND. R.I.P. Dave & Cory...
They make it look so easy. Amazing set. Thank you for this.
Atilio Escobar said umsxhvmcoxhgxxyx
it probably was easy for them without the costumes
It’s crazy. With the costume, you kinda take for granted the amazing range and fluctuations in his vocals. Seeing it coming out of a man and not a beast really make you appreciate what an insane vocalist he was.
One of a kind.
Heinrich the White that’s not singing lol. That’s yelling. He literally sounds like a wannabe drunk dad in a band. That being said the music is good. Vocals? Horrid.
NathanDrums
You’re an idiot. You’re clearly unfamiliar with Gwar.
Wannabe drunk dad? Go fuck yourself, Moron. Go listen to disturbed or whatever the fuck
I miss Dave
that moment when they play(back) immortal corruptor and it is so obvious seeying dave's face and hearing his comments, stil gold, absolute gold!
Brockie was Gwar. Their shows from the 90's were nukin futs!
LOL Never gets old seeing Dave's face up close during the breakdown in Sick Of You. The second time he says "Don't you know? So sick of you. The things you say....the things you do." With his eyes shut, enunciation & look of authentic disgust on his face is the best 😭. RIP brother.
Will always be one of my all time favorite vocalists. RIP
Its so hard to watch this. I miss Dave so much.
Yes, especially with how he starts the video. Talking about vomiting (probably from partying too hard) :(
I'm so glad this exists.
Too soon, Dave. Way too soon.
Miss you, man. What a showman and pioneer. RIP.
Missed dearly
Fuck man, why did he had to go, I miss him a lot
Ive watched this thing atleast 20 times,
LOVE IT!!!
Same
Hell yeah brother. Im also a pantera fan. Canadians arent bad either \m/.
It is heartbreaking and breathtaking
13 people sat down for the entire time. Tragically, after the show GWAR fell upon them, slaughtered them and ate them. On a bit lighter note, this worked out great for the food bank fundraiser barbeque later that night. 28:38 You're scaring the slaves, bro! Long live Oderus!!! Have fun smoking that great giant crack rock in the sky far far away from this cesspool planetoid earth! RIP Dave.......
Well said! :-)
You mean the GWARBQUE??
Wish I could have been there we miss you BROTHER 🤘🤘🤘
So glad I got to see them with Dave…..post Oderous Gwar is still Gwar but not the same! He was one of a kind!
I've just heard about GWAR and this performance has made me a fan - thank you for posting this!
Funny how people are ripping on this band. This bands music will be living longer than these critics.
So underrated , not only musically, but Dave is nuts and jus havin fun , amazing
I WAS THERE!! im the guy at the end who screams during sick of you, with the shirtless vest
My favorite video of Dave right here, he had such a cool ass voice
This is probably my 6th or 7th time watching this. Fucking love RAWG
Watched this at least 10 times and it's still awesome.
I still cry because Dave was the most genuine of any soul I’ve seen!
@@luiswiley86 From Death Piggy on the guy was just a performer man. Don't have them like they used to.
I enjoy it more each time I watch it.
thanks MAN!....3x!...great!
Oh my God, I’ve never seen this? Incredible!!!!
Holy Shit! I was there! R.I.P. Dave.
Me too buddy, best night ever
God damn Dave Brokkie/ Could spit those Punk/Metal barking speed- hymnaks and Anthems and speed almost.m Metal/spunk-punk rock fire like no other, I love him... fucking never forget the very first time I heard GWAR "Salaminizor" was my first... And Still IS my all time fav Gear song.. that was . Like 1989-1991 when I was like 9-10 yo
Whoever recorded and uploaded this is the real one
thank you!...I am the guilty one! lol
@@rebelmachine You're the ultimate bohab! Lucky son of a to be at this gig tho!
@@theeverchosen1504 front and centre!...YES VERY lucky! thanks MAN!
@Steve Harris thanks Very much Steve!...very glad you are enjoying it!
@@rebelmachine Yup, I can confirm, you were directly in front of me, as I did sound for most of the show!
