Gwar Unmasked In Memory Of Cory Smoot

Band in tribute to late guitarist 14-Nov-11

The the video above, Gwar perform an unmasked tribute to their late guitarist to Cory Smoot. Cory played the character of Flattus Maximus, who has since been retired after his passing.

The guitarist unexpectedly passed-away on November 3rd, and his body was discovered by his band mates on the tour bus after a show.

Gwar performed a tribute to Cory at their recent show in Portland, Oregon. In the video you can see the band perform without their masks; playing the song 'Maggots', before talking about the late guitarist, and then playing 'Sick Of You'.

Cory Smoot was the fifth and final guitarist to play the part of Flattus Maximus, he also played a string of bands before joining Gwar.

st0rmtr00per55 13-Mar-12 04:02 AM

Roseland??? first place i seen them


NiksMama09 08-Mar-12 05:20 AM

You know what, arseface? You SHOULD go kill yourself. If you are so quick to shut down and jump to conclusions about a band like this without knowing them personally, then you are obviously extremely ignorant and close-minded and the world would be better off without you. These guys are my heroes. What right do you have to put them down? They've made a name for themselves and they work hard for their fans and everything they have. You should be gutted.


fartfagnoogen 22-Feb-12 05:25 AM

i was at this shit front row it was fucking amazing NEVER MISS A GWAR SHOW you will never know what there gna do I mean look at this shit


10gale 15-Feb-12 11:30 PM

IDIOT!!! I don't have a profile, not on facebook either! I'm married and although I don't hate gays, I think their lifestyle is disgusting! I am sure you will have something to say about that as well!


lethrbear32 14-Feb-12 11:47 AM

I wish I could have been there. I have seen them a few times in Dallas and Tulsa. Now living here in Portland. I really hope they tour again.


Formeldehyde 09-Feb-12 08:06 PM

I looked at your profile and noticed you're gay


fanofPantera 05-Feb-12 12:39 AM

That's a pretty personal judgment. I'm wayyyyyy more disturbed by the minds of people who sing terrible "lost my dog...gonna drink because my girl dumped me...I drive my pickup truck" country music. I'll never understand awful music, but it has a place in today's music scene (unfortunately). I'm not a huge GWAR fan, but they are talented and they have found a niche in music...so deal with it.


crockmaster2 29-Jan-12 04:40 PM

back in 92.. they did the song masterbate. this was after the america must be destoyed tour. no joke


StEvEn420BrUlE 29-Jan-12 02:38 AM

Is that killbot and the mutant mutilator at the end?


JaySlayYourFace 11-Jan-12 08:00 PM

The audio is amazing!


scumdog06 07-Jan-12 05:23 PM

Good show but this fucking sucks that ther bro is dead now its all over I seen them back in 06 when I was sixteen and in 08


Rockstizzle69 23-Dec-11 07:59 AM

Bet Dave never thought he'd lose his bro on tour and still play 6 more shows before the funeral.


mikemunyon1 23-Dec-11 03:44 AM

never thought i'd ever see dave crying


nando19751 18-Dec-11 09:35 PM

When did Gwar start making tecno music? 


thedrunkenwookie 17-Dec-11 10:47 PM

i liked ghoul out of all of them (besides GWAR)


thedrunkenwookie 17-Dec-11 10:46 PM

wow first of all it metal you dumb fuck two their lifes are much different you fuckhole, three its called comedy if you dont like it it doesn't mean its bad. dont be so quick to judge them and dont say you would commit suicide cuz you might just get it someday. good redence fuckface


cloudofdeath187 14-Dec-11 08:08 PM

This was an epic show..... wouldn't have rather been anywhere else in the world....,. I was amazed they even put on this show with everything that was going on!!! Thank you gwar ;)


JaredAbstract 14-Dec-11 06:10 PM

I'm crowd surfing around 9:09 


JaredAbstract 14-Dec-11 06:02 PM

I was at this show and I'm still not the same. It was my 7th GWAR show in a row and this was one of the most surreal experience I've ever had. Never thought I would share such an intimate moment with this band.


TheHeadHead1 11-Dec-11 02:53 PM

you sir have no sense of humor, you should stay off the internet, you might become offended


abandybuddy 10-Dec-11 04:10 PM

I saw myself at 10:57


jnog82 02-Dec-11 03:47 PM

MrKp5259 30-Nov-11 08:33 AM

.......Why the fuck are you even trying to explain GWAR to this fuck?!?!? It obvious the poster doesn't have the ability to get it.


theblazette 27-Nov-11 05:38 PM

thanks for the UL!!


n0minombre 16-Nov-11 03:44 PM

Terrible sound. Still, it's great!


Water4Jeremiah 16-Nov-11 03:36 PM

TOTALFUCKINGMAYHEM 16-Nov-11 10:43 AM

If you like this video.... YOU WILL FUCKING LOVE OURS! ! ! ! ! Front row right next to the speaker! ! ! ! ! Click & ENJOY fuckers! ! ! ! ! :P


Skellatoncrew 16-Nov-11 08:34 AM

Thanks so much for taping this and uploading it. This was my 4th GWAR show and the most raw I've ever seen them. They're a damn good bunch of guys.


surenopimp 16-Nov-11 12:52 AM

Seriously what the fuck is your problem you take this too seriously they are just a bunch of not good looking dudes(lol) what's the big deal apparently you don't understand the concept of this band


lgarver29 15-Nov-11 10:50 PM

Generally, a Brittney Spears fan is not going to care for Gwar, just as GWAR fans (or any fans of most music) are not going to care for Brittney Spears. And you would probably commit suicide because you are a weak person. BTW, you do live in "their" world.


Rockstizzle69 15-Nov-11 10:41 PM

lol


Rockstizzle69 15-Nov-11 10:40 PM

\m/ rock on!


Rockstizzle69 15-Nov-11 10:38 PM

I wouldn't take GWAR too seriously... GWAR certainly doesn't. It's comedy & they're making fun of stuff. Aside from being top notch musicians, they're artists/actors performing. They make all of the props /costumes themselves. I admit it's pretty "out there" & not appealing to most folks but this is their gig & they do it to the fullest- for almost 30 years now. It's so ridiculously gross & over the top how can one NOT laugh at it. Don't be too quick to judge them- or me for that matter.


10gale 15-Nov-11 06:53 PM

WOW!!!!!!!!! These people are crazy, not crazy good but SICK and DISGUSTING! They don't look human, they don't act human! They can't even function well! They lock up people like them in institutions! I would probably commit suicide if I lived in their mind, their world! Wow, what a dark world they created for themselves! I like rock but I think you have to be pretty missed to like this group! This is disturbing to watch because they look like they are so medicated or douped up.


Rockstizzle69 15-Nov-11 05:30 PM

I hear ya man. Truly a tragedy. Please donate a buck or two to Cory's wife and unborn child. Guys in bands at this level have no insurance usually whatsoever.


Rockstizzle69 15-Nov-11 05:27 PM

not as lame as your irrelevant opinion


FormulaKimball 15-Nov-11 03:42 PM

Thanks for uploading this man. Last time I saw them do this was in Denver the night Dimebag was killed - always a sad occasion when they take off their gear.  R.I.P. Cory, we'll miss you bro.


xMIKEx714x 15-Nov-11 09:40 AM

No... I like it here. Seems cozy.


mysteryrocker123 15-Nov-11 09:34 AM

thank you for your comment......now go away


xMIKEx714x 15-Nov-11 07:04 AM

The lamest band ever
