"We have lost someone that has been a mentor, a great friend, an inspiration and an overall down-to-earth, incredible person.

"Our good friend, Dave Brockie, has left us behind and it pains us as we offer our condolences to his family, friends, bandmates and the masses of people that have adored him. It is an honor to have been a part of his life in music.

"Hail the legions of GWAR!

"Long live Oderus!!

"Dave will forever be with everyone that has crossed his path."
