Holy crap- I just asked Hess a couple of questions on Facebook last week. He's been a favorite of mine, not just because of his horror connections, but because he was on one of the 60s lost gems of obscure music. A rock opera called "The Naked Carmen." What a loss. He was a really talented guy, in many different areas.

David Hess's performance in The House At The Edge Of The Park still gives me the shivers.

GWAR guitarist Cory Smoot found dead on tour bus
(AP) – 6 minutes ago
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — The lead guitarist for the heavy metal band GWAR has been found dead on their tour bus.
Manager Jack Flanagan and record label Metal Blade say Cory Smoot was found early Thursday before crossing into Canada following a show in Minneapolis.
It's unclear what caused Smoot's death or how old he was.
Smoot performed since 2002 under the name "Flattus Maximus" with the Richmond, Va.-based band known for its comically grotesque costumes, stage antics and vulgar lyrics.
Flanagan says there's no word yet on funeral arrangements or the rest of the tour.
Lead singer Dave Brockie, also known as "Oderus Urungus," says the band is just dealing the loss and called Smoot "one of the most talented guitar players in metal today."




That sucks.:(

I'm sorry that Rooney died(i grew up with his 60 Minutes stuff) but really no love for Cory Smoot? It seems this would be a website that GWAR fans would be involved with....

I had never heard of them but they're alright. Pretty funny.

I like this about Cory Smoot's character from Wikipedia:

Quote:
Very little about Flattus Maximus is explained in Gwar lore. Even his home planet is an uncertainty; in an interview conducted during a 1997 tour, Flattus (at the time portrayed by Pete Lee) explained his hazy memory was due to his notorious pot smoking, at which point he seemed to recall a planet named Pot (made entirely of cannabis) he once called home, but he ended up destroying it by smoking the entire planet out of existence. Although his explanation was never officially set in stone, it's one of many theories as to where Flattus really originates from. What is apparent, though, is that he is illiterate, has a slight Southern accent, and that he attributes his "explosive guitar style" to a strict diet of vegetarians, which also causes his infamous atomic flatulence.
R.I.P, I guess. Even though I didn't know who he was whilst he was alive. Back to listening to some Gwar.
