GWAR bassist Casey Orr (a.k.a. Beefcake The Mighty) has released the following statement to BLABBERMOUTH.NET:"After much soul searching and consideration,Jerry Rice 49ers Jersey, and with a heavy heart, I am announcing my departure from GWAR (yes, again). I simply can no longer devote the time and effort required to maintain my position within the group. I have so many projects going on now in Texas,Dan Hampton Bears Jersey, including a new RIGOR MORTIS record in the works,Randall Cunningham Eagles Jersey, that it just wouldn't be fair to everyone involved for me to stay and not be able to give 100%. I'll miss the insanity and playing with my brothers, but I have to do what's right for me right now."I wish GWAR and all my brothers the best, and if I can ever be of any help to the group, they know they have only to ask. I appreciate their understanding,Carnell Lake Steelers Jersey, and certainly hope the fans will understand as well. I truly appreciate the opportunity I was given to return to the band and record the last two albums and to tour with them over the last several years,Jack Lambert Steelers Jersey, but it's time to aim my creative energies in other directions and embrace the opportunities that have been laid before me. I promise you have not heard the last of me. Not by a long shot!"Video footage of GWAR's performance at this year's edition of Copenhell festival in Copenhagen, Denmark on June 18, 2011 can be seen below.As previously reported,Mike Singletary Bears Jersey, the second annual GWAR-B-Q has been pushed back to September 17 from the previously announced August 27.
