Oh man, that sucks! "Let's Shake" was one of the best garage band songs ever!

I am a friend of Gordie , He was a great friend . To be murdered by his son makes me sick. He wasnt supposed to pass away this way. . NOw he can jam with his buddy Frankie Venom who he loved. There are some great stories about the 2 together. Gordie told me many.

This sickens me, Teenage Head never caught a break.

They were the original Canadian punk rockers who ended up more damned than The Damned.

These dudes used to play my high school every year.

What a shame. Not only that Gord is gone along with Frankie... but to be murdered by your own son and left to rot?

P.S. This reminds me why this "God" loves you stuff is pure cult bullshit

Very tragic and I agree with Insidious Von, this group never caught a break.

Teenage Head played my high school, I loved that band back in the day.

Gord certainly went through some shit in his life.

This one hurts. RIP Gord.

Had no idea they were still going. Saddest ever example of flogging a dead horse. Apart from the hapless Wayne's world personas of the guys, their existence has been achingly sad.

I grew up in the Hammer, about the same time as Teenage Head were big in the punk scene. I seem to recall Gord breaking his back right when things started to open up for teenage head.

Fucking tragic to be killed by your own child though.

Yeah, I think Teenage Head would have been huge if it hadn't been for that accident. Right after 'Let's Shake' became a big Canadian hit, it totally derailed their momentum.
