GWAR Announces Unveiling of Dave Brockie Memorial Monument in Hollywood Cemetery

Word has reached the RVA Mag offices that the almighty aliens of GWAR are unveiling a monument to their fallen founder and leader, Dave Brockie, in Hollywood Cemetery, perhaps Richmond’s most historic final resting place.

The unveiling will take place on Friday, August 30 at 2 PM, and all are invited to join and pay tribute. There will also be a free party the next day, Saturday August 31, at the band’s very own GWARbar.

“The erection of this monument has been a long time coming,” stated GWAR in a press release — we see what you did there, guys. “We are grateful and happy we can finally do this for Dave. We thank the many people who donated time and money to make this a reality.”

“We hope the marker will provide a long-needed place for Brockie’s friends, family, and fans to pay their respects to this wonderful and talented human being, and of course, to Dave’s famous creation, Oderus Urungus, who will always be remembered as one of the greatest frontmen in rock history.”

GWARbar is located at 217 W. Clay St in Jackson Ward. Keep an eye on their social media and that of GWAR themselves for further details on this event.

Fans want GWAR’s Oderus Urungus to be a playable character in the next Mortal Kombat game and so do we

The legendary Oderus Urungus left a trail of death and distraction in his wake – armed with his microphone stand, razor sharp claws and horns, and an even sharper tongue. Could you imagine if this God of Metal was in the next Mortal Kombat video game?

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:
