The music may have never been mainstream, but having seen GWAR several times in the 30 years they have scoured the Earth, I can say that no other band ever made a show as much fun.

But, I do not mourn, for today... Beelzebub runs for his life.

Dave Brockie -- lead singer of the crazy costumed "Beavis & Butthead" worshipped speed metal band Gwar -- is dead at age 50.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... Brockie -- a.k.a. Oderus Urungus -- was found early Sunday morning dead, sitting upright in a chair at his Richmond, VA home.

We're told foul play is not suspected ... and one law enforcement sources told us, "There were no drugs found, as far as I know."

Another law enforcement source tells us it was not a suicide. No note was found. Brockie was found by his roommate.

The band shot to superstardom because their over-the-top horror show music videos were a staple on "Beavis and Butthead" back in the day.

I remember watching an interview with him where he was saying GWAR could go on indefinitely since no one knew what they looked like. They could just hire musicians to replace them as they died. We'll see if that happens.

I wonder if he's now The Dread Pirate Roberts. :eek:

If I wasn't a Beavis And Butthead fan, I'd never have heard of them either.

My wife managed a live music venue where GWAR played a couple times a year back in NY..

One night i stopped by to say hi to her and have a beer when it was a GWAR show. I parked the car and walked past everyone in line saying hi to the security guys and and walked in..

That was one of the oddest shows i've ever seen (for the 2 minutes i watched)..

Journey toured again with the Phillipino guy singing, and everyone knew what Steve Perry looked like. Seems possible for GWAR, too.
