Another one bites the dust

The primary goal of this site is to provide mature, meaningful discussion about the Vancouver Canucks. However, we all need a break some time so this forum is basically for anything off-topic, off the wall, or to just get something off your chest! This forum is named after poster Creeper, who passed away in July of 2011 and was a long time member of the Canucks message board community.

Vancouver gets the joy of being the Habs first home game and chance to honour Gros Bill.

Brian Goble, singing with Sid Vicious in punk heaven.

Subhumans played at my high school. The school power brokers agreed to a lunch hour show as long as Wimpy and the boys didn't swear.

lol.

Good one.

Tough to get 4 young punks up on the stage to sing Fuck You and Slave to my Dick without dropping some foul language on the poor, innocent teens in the audience.


Joe Keithley (Joey Shithead for the uninformed) was shocked at the news.

"He was really a super, super guy," he said.

"He had a real humanist streak to him. He was the type of guy who could find good in people, where perhaps other people couldn't. He was pretty generous of spirit.

"But that's not to say you couldn't be ultra-cantankerous, too. And I mean that in the best of ways."

Keithley should know — he and Goble have been friends for 50 years.

"Gerry (Hannah), Brian and I all grew up within two blocks of each other on Burnaby Mountain," he said.

"We met walking home from school, I was probably in Grade 2 and they were Grade 1. You walk to school so many times sooner or later you go 'Hey, what's your name?'"

A few years later Ken Montgomery moved into the neighbourhood. Within a decade, the four friends would become punk rock legends.

Goble took the punk nom de plume Wimpy Roy, Keithley became Joey Shithead, Hannah became Gerry Useless and Montgomery became Dimwit.

Goble started off as bassist in the Skulls, one of Vancouver's first punk bands. When the group split up after an ill-advised move to Toronto, he returned to Vancouver to play in the Subhumans with bassist Hannah, drummer Montgomery and guitarist Mike Graham (a.k.a. Mike Normal).

The band's first show was at an anti-Canada Day celebration organized by anarchists in Stanley Park on July 1, 1978.

Another loss to local music far too soon.

The first punk show I went to was The Subhumans at Carnigie Hall (Main and Hastings). Up until that point, I never knew concerts could be so much..... fun! Live music was never the same after that.

Not only a local loss, they're well-known in other parts of the world too.
Goble was ahead of my time. Just had friendly conversations with Joey, Randy Rampage and Tom Floor Jones several times.
Btw, lookin' forward to Joey's next farewell tour...

LOL.

In the late '80's I saw two DOA final concerts ever, we're done, we're breaking up, this is it finito

within a month.

Three years ago Joe passed through town and did an acoustic DOA show at a local coffee shop.
