Founded in the 1980s by Brockie and fellow VCU art students, GWAR gained international fame for its brand of heavy metal music and outrageous stage show.

As part of the act, GWAR members created their own gory costumes and wild personas. The self-described “Scumdogs of the Universe” were known for their messy shows, outlandish costumes and intentionally offensive theatrics.

During an interview in 2011, Brockie defended the band saying

“Anyone who has seen GWAR knows it’s an adult comedy rock musical”

Brockie’s friend and former GWAR member Chris Bopst confirmed the death to CBS 6 producer Chris Westfall.

Reports indicate, detectives do not suspect foul play at this time. The Medical Examiner’s Office will determine Brockie’s cause of death.

“Dave was one of the funniest, smartest, most creative and energetic persons I’ve known,” former Gwar bassist Mike Bishop says. “He was brash sometimes, always crass, irreverent, he was hilarious in every way. But he was also deeply intelligent and interested in life, history, politics and art.”

There is not much about his personal life, no girlfriend or wife that has been identified or linked to him. Instead he always focused on his “art” he made numerous appearances in character commenting on current events and culture, including such unexpected places as “Red Eye” on Fox News.

Nevertheless, we express our deepest condolences, to his band, family, friends and fans around the world.
