Burying A God – Watch Oderus Urungus Return To Valhalla

by | Aug 18, 2014 | MUSIC

This weekend’s GWARBQ was incredible – the music, the crowd, the GWARBeer, and the feeling of being a part of real memorial for a rock-god created the perfect end of summer party.

Read more about GWARBQ, Dave Brockie, and how and why this event happens here.

Here’s a few photos and videos from the memorial held last Friday. We’ll have much more content – from photos to videos to interviews with some of the bands – later this week.

Check out this video of Lamb of God’s Randy Bltyhe and Dead Kennedy’s Jello Biafria giving a kind of eulogy at the memorial:
