I Hear GWAR Has an Opening in the Band

Flattus Maximus is not Rottus Maximus.

From the Dailymail here:

Cory Smoot, lead guitarist of the heavy metal band GWAR has been found dead on the group’s tour bus.

The body of the 34-year-old, who played under the sci-fi fantasy name of Flattus Maximus, was discovered following a gig in Minneapolis.

His bandmates are said to be ‘shocked and devastated’ by his death. The cause is still unknown.

I wonder if his death was Heavy Metal related? Alcohol poisoning, OD or death by syphilis- or maybe he choked on a pretzel.
