Another great rockstar has left us. 🫡

Edit: it sort of makes me think of something that the (then lead singer who has also passed) of Gwar said around 2000. He talked about in an interview where he thought that the band could be passed onto someone else, and they could continue Gwar. And that seems to be happening.

    Blöthar has been a great replacement for Oderus. I have seen them many times with both fronting the band.

    Personally I think Oderus's slave, Dave did interviews better (he would not break character for any reason), Blöthar's slave, Bishop does okay (he seems to forget he is in costume and blends the slave and the master together.)

    I wish I had been able to see them live for the brief time Vulvatron was with them.

    I mean, there's always the example of Napalm Death: none of the original members were on the side B of the first album, and their trademark punk-grindcore style only came about with the drummer Mick Harris, who's not a founding member. And no one from the first album is in the current lineup. Bassist Shane Embury is the only one currently in the band who was on the second album.
