Dave Brockie Biography

Dave Brockie is one of the most popular and richest Metal Singer who was born on August 30, 1963 in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. Singer who is also popularly known as Oderus Urungus is best known as the lead singer of the musical group Gwar. He passed away from an overdose of a drug in March of 2014.

He was a guest during his Fox News show “Red Eye w/ He made several guest appearances on the Fox News show “Red Eye w/Greg Gutfield“.”.

Brockie stated he grew up a “rocker”; he started out listening to heavy metal as a kid, then immediately became more absorbed into punk rock as a teenager, especially the 1980s hardcore punk scene. Brockie stated his favorite punk bands were Bad Brains, Black Flag, and Charged GBH. He got back into heavy metal when thrash metal bands, such as Metallica and Slayer began to emerge.

Like all of Gwar’s characters, Oderus underwent several design changes since his inception. He first started out as a relatively normal-looking character with a papier-mâché helmet with spikes that appeared to be made out of aluminum foil. This eventually progressed into a rubber wig. In the late 1980s Brockie, along with Chuck Varga, created the now-famous original design mask. After Hell-O!, he would add large shoulder pads. These would remain relatively unchanged (except for materials used) until 1994, when Brockie experimented with a new style – the left arm resembled a very mutated tentacle. The change did not last, and by the year’s end, the design returned to the World War I-era German helmet-shaped shoulder pads. This version can be found in the “Saddam A Go-Go” video from the “Rendezvous With RagNaRok” movie. In 2001, after the filming of “It’s Sleazy”, Brockie redesigned the shoulder pads to their current design – two skulls with longer, more blade-shaped points. The disfigured face remained relatively unchanged since 1988, with slight additions made in 2001 (the redesign of Oderus was in collaboration with the medieval violence-themed Violence Has Arrived album, released in November of that year) – two horns, roughly six or seven inches (178 mm) in length.

He stayed at the house of his parents when he was carpenter.
