GWAR's Oderus Urungus on 'Battle Maximus,' Miley Cyrus + More

[@jusdemented]

"If honestly that's what upsets people in this world today then we need Gwar more than ever." Truest fucking words ever spoken

[@diskod50]

The further we go into the future, even as little as 5 yrs 😉, the worse it gets.... Not the heroes we want but the heroes we need!!

I've never listened to Gwar even though I knew of them...this guy is hysterical..awesome interview..50 is to young... RIP Dave..

Idk how Oderus had that much patience with the interviewer.

Oderus isn't gone, he just just went off to re kill all those dead celebrities.

[@Gabychan13]

Oderus is also reincarnated as his spirit animal the great Horned owl lol.

[@michaeltozzi3112]

He killed his slave, Dave Brockie.

[@PlayNiceFolks]

I never was really into Gwar years ago. Then I started watching all these interviews years later, now. And I'm giving them a second chance musically, and I fucking love it. I don't know, for some reason, watching all the crazy interviews with Gwar and Oderus make the music even more enjoyable. *Edited* HOLY FUCK BATTLE MAXIMUS IS A GREAT ALBUM!

DUDE same here!!

[@fokiat]

Fan since 89 when I first heard them... been to 3 concerts in the 90's. Never have been to a better show. Glad Dave left us one last materpiece, Battle Maximus!

[@PlayNiceFolks]

fokiat Battle Maximus has those kinds of songs on it, that are like shooting pure distilled awesome joy right into my veins. Such a good album, probably my favorite.

[@fokiat]

I rank it up there with Scumdogs and America...I cant stop listening to it like when I was 16 listening to Scumdogs lol.

[@catjudo1]

Dave died alone in a chair in his room, Well he'd just turned fifty it was way too soon. Oderus went up in flames, Now all of Valhalla chants his name. Brockie I miss you more than all the others, I salute you my brother!!! - The Berzerker Blothar, AV Studios cover of "West End Girls" by the Pet Shop Boys, 2014. - Rest In Peace Mr. Dave Brockie. Your brand of chaos made my life a better place. Thank you.

[@richnorman1123]

Absolutely ❤️ I will always love gwar brockie his slave had a set of pipes on him hail oderus🤘🤘

[@feloniousPunk.]

That part was from The People Who Died by Jim Carroll

[@Gunkwave]

"He feels the music through his zits." lmao, goddamn Oderus was funny af. R.I.P

[@MrUltraworld]

I saw them about 15yrs ago at the House Of Blues Orlando, and Brockie gets one of his enormous feet stuck in a stair riser next to the drums. While the bands roaring away, disemboweling the Pope, I hear in a very low tone "Tony, Tony, Tony", and one of the small guys goes over and unhooks brokie's huge rubber feet from the stairs. They were (are) one hell of a live act, great musicians too. The kids had a blast, they were soaked from head to toe in so many colors, they were all brown.

Hail Oderus

[@TheGonzo458]

This guy is fuckin hilarious. Saw Gwar open for Lamb of God in Norfolk, I must say, crowd dripping fake blood when the house lights came on during Hourglass was pretty fucking brutal.

[@samsquantch14]

shit LOG should have opened for GWARRRRR!!!!

[@severebone1314]

samsquantch14 they where on tour and opened for gwar waayy back

[@Amy_Ramirez03]

I miss him so much!! 😍😍🥰. The metal world isn’t the same without him. Love 💕 his. Wicked sense of humor

[@chaosdecides]

Battle Maximus is probably the most metal Gwar album yet. A must own!

[@rm2kking]

Fuck yes

[@tyorbs3680]

The last one with Oderus

[@drewm5898]

Oderus Urungus is the maximum level of troll

[@bdarne0024]

GWAR is just an amazing act. Musically has got a lot better over the years i've always loved them. They are forever one of my favorite band of all time and oderus will be missed dearly in my heart

[@RobK-rl6sn]

I don't know they were pretty kick ass back in the late 1990s when I saw them. The weekend after that I saw a Primus at the same venue. Was a pretty cool couple of weekends

[@melgibsonfan9082]

He was fucking great at improv, that's why I love his interviews. One of the greatest front men ever. RIP.

[@psommorr]

Oderus lay off the human insults!!! We made Crack specifically for GWAR, I think we've earned a little respect.

[@sid2112]

WRONG. GWAR made Crack for us all.

[@dankhill6851]

No, we invented Meth for gwar, crack is actually natural, it's formed in the plant as cocaine freebase. Noob

[@chainsawteddybear]

WE MISS YOU BIG GUY, HAIL GWAR

[@SuperBearsfan101]

he's not dead guys calm down, he went back to his planet to rule over the universe, he just unfortunatley wont be making live appearances or make more albums, he has more important jobs to do as master of the universe

[@dankhill6851]

Damn, that legit made me feel sad.

[@UndergroundSkat2000]

Oderus started off sounding so pissed off but immediately defused when he was like "ya know what I'll do? Nothing." Nice guy

[@MrBraffZachlin]

there is just something so fucking funny about a an evil cosmic super beast that sounds like a mafia wise guy when he talks. R.I.P oderus

[@Griglager]

"That is our new album...and it is full of music." Gosh, what a genius. Enjoy the trip home Oderus; hope there's an acceptable deli tray back home.

[@dantasticmania8728]

Dave was an real genuine kind of guy...... R.I.P brother, may you rock on with your brother Cory Smoot A.K.A Flattus Maximus.

[@scorchobassplayer]

R.I.P. Brother...Thanks for the Laughs,and the Music

[@EmilyHillgoddessofthunder64]

Why did he have to leave us? :'( He was a fucking hilarious crazy scumdog! Please come back Oderus!!! I knew GWAR before his untimely death, I had seen a few videos and interviews and thought that he and the rest of the band were funny guys but I feel bad for not becoming a fan of their music until around the time he died. :(

[@AndyKazama2]

The theater of GWAR is great. Been watching a ton of their interviews lately. Never a dull moment

[@nrood3821]

i finally got to see gwar live in detroit in 2017. and as great as they were that night. i so wished oderus was still there. he was the one that made me love this band. it sucks he died.

[@wfsfghthkh866]

Love Dave..we need Gwar more than ever..

[@shredfactor7]

I watch this often. Dave was pure genius!!!

[@slpn9t]

Never listened to GWAR but this dude is great! RIP

[@TheBomber15]

Haha! Brilliant Monty Python and the Holy Grail reference!

[@trevorhodge7089]

I was told Gwar wasn't too good, I just found these things because I heard they were funny, now my favorite song is Jack The World and Im a fan, I just found out Today Dave died and Ive known Flattus has been dead for a month, these 2 were amazing funny people and Urungus will always be my favorite Gwar singer, they will be dearly missed

[@raynwolfsbane2084]

That is our new album! And it is full of music!

[@Hypnobong]

Really hoping Dave isn't gone :(

Hey may be lost, but definitely not forgotten.

May he kick Fred Phelps' ass in Hell.

Dave might be. But not Oderus he’s in outer space somewhere, one day he’ll be back

[@thelettertsix]

i wasn't a GWAR fan till i saw them live. and holyshit one of the best shows I've ever seen/saw.

[@hmpz36911]

Too musically underrated. Strip the gimmick & awe the' talent! Road Behind is awesome & should've been a radio hit. Then back on with the fun! Always had great times hangin with them. Amazing memories never ceased. Drinking Absolute blood backstage, being guest killed, to even helping disinfect those stinky costumes; Always hilarious times. Great guys and hope many more can continue to experience the creative genius that is GWAR!

[@dankhill6851]

Gwar HATES the idea of being mainstream. They wouldn't like being on the radio lol. Gwar is mainly the gimmick, the whole idea behind all of their songs is their experiences/state of mind they're in as aliens who inhabit our earth.

[@missmevex]

@@dankhill6851 did you hang with them ?

[@jacobeanes4397]

I love his uncanny ability to insult and degrade these icons like hair bands, and grunge music, heck even his own bandmates, yet we still can feel his massive respect towards them. We miss you oderus 😢

36 seconds in and this is already mind blowingly good.

[@BitestheStuff]

I'm very happy to hear what he said about Miley Cyrus, I don't listen to her music at all, but her antics are just retreaded territory. Either as a form of expression or a way to sell albums. Her and GWAR are undeniable proof that sex still sells.

[@drpibisback7680]

Just Ivan GWAR are, quite possibly, the least sexy things ever.

[@stevemd007]

I can't believe how fast time is passing , it's been 7 years since that Miley Cyrus vma show .

[@metfrk81]

Oderus took all the wind out of dudes sails before he was even done introducing himself. LMAO

[@tomtheripper666]

i was gearing up to go see them this year when he passed….

[@amotl2009]

I love the respect Oderus gives to Beavis and Butthead. Because that’s how I was introduced to GWAR through the pilot episode.

[@TrueNomadSkies]

I feel that was where a lot of people were first introduced to them. Either that or maybe from Nardwaur interviews on Much Music. I was like what? Who are these guys? Why do they look like Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Power Ranger villains? That's fucking great!

I hope the members of Gwar can somehow continue on without Oderus, in the same way he is talking about the loss of Smoot.

[@LagunaPadre361]

The Blood of Gods is amazing! It felt like a breath of fresh air after the last few albums Not that there's anything wrong w/ how heavy they were getting, but they were starting to get a consistent sound if that makes any sense. The fact that all their albums are so different from each other is why i love these fucking guys so much!
