DETAILS FOR CORY SMOOT’S (AKA FLATTUS MAXIMUS) MEMORIAL SERVICE

Thursday, November 10th, 2011 at 12:00pm by

GWAR guitarist Cory Smoot — more commonly known as “Flattus Maximum” — passed away a week ago today, and we’re still reeling from the loss. Now the band has announced a public memorial service, so that fans can congregate, mourn, and celebrate Smoot’s life as a community.

Here are the details:

Friday, November 11
4 pm
Bennett Funeral Home Chesterfield Chapel
14301 Ashbrook Parkway
Chesterfield, VA

As a result of the services, GWAR has been forced to cancel their next two shows: tonight’s concert in Medford, OR and tomorrow’s gig in San Francisco, CA. The band will resume their current tour with Every Time I Die, Warbeast, and Ghoul this coming Saturday, November 12. Remaining tour dates can be found here.

    Hopefully those Westboro Church pricks don’t get wind of this. RIP Cory

      Shit dude. They’d get ripped to shreds. Literally.

        If they show up, one by one they should be tossed into a woodchipper. Feet first.

      Yea I’m sure Jesus spent heaps of time disrupting people’s funerals. I’m sure the Sermon on The Mount was really a big anti-gay tirade. Seriously wtf is the wbc? Where do these lunatics come from?

    As a HUGE GWAR fan, I found it more than a little disturbing you spelled Flattus Maximus wrong, but that’s obviously just because you have all the editing prowess of a toaster oven . RIP Cory, your presence will be greatly missed.

      Everyone’s a fucking editor.

      Could just be the damn auto-correct deciding that “Maxiumus” should be “Maximum.” My iPod does that shit all the time.

      And I find it really disturbing that you posted a comment and the first thing you did was complain about a spelling typo.

      They have some pretty advanced toaster ovens nowadays though…

    Hopefully he’ll have a funeral service worthy of someone from GWAR. RIP.
