nah, never knew him but i saw him play at least a dozen times.
he was from hamilton, where i went to university. teenage head were regulars there and in toronto, and while they were just past their prime when i started seeing their shows, a ton of the bands i was very much into would open for them and had been inspired by them.
they come off a bit goofy here (and they were goofy), but thet were a lot more sinister and snarky in concert, especially in the earlier days - this video is pretty tame and the songs not the best (i do like let's shake, but it's a fun pop-punk song now). disgusteen would have been better exposure to them here, but there's no video about that i can see other than latter-day crap and i'm too tired to hunt any more.
night-night, i am definitely asleep now.
hey! i'm an aged punk, we're a decent breed.
