Request for deletion of clueless posts

Teenage Head

Note gratuitously aggravating and inappropriate YouTube and Flamin' Groovies posts after death announcement of frontman of Teenage Head group.

i don't think any offense is intended. probably deserves his own RIP thread, though. pretty sure that those posts are just riffs on the thread title, not callous.

yeah i don't really see cause for deletion here...

Didn't say offense was intended. The posts are just randomly clueless which, semantically, one can equate with callous. But I've no interest in starting a fight. The thread was about the group Teenage Head, one many know about, not Teenage Head -- the album by the Flamin' Groovies.

Perhaps it wouldn't have made a difference if the fellow who was the lead singer hadn't suddenly died.

Now, instead of the image of a Flamin' Groovies album, where was the appreciation, however small, for someone who passed too early.

OK == here's one. Frankie Venom, frontman for Teenage Head, died before his time at 51. Teenage Head's debut album was an unheralded piece of greatness at the intersection of punk rock and raw rock 'n' roll in 1979. Mostly ignored by critics and poorly served by its Canadian label, Attic, which cowered after the band was banned due to a riot at Toronto's Ontario Place in 1980, Teenage Head was never quite able to attain the momentum and publicity afforded much lesser acts. "Let's Shake" and "Somethin' on My Mind," from the band's second album, Frantic City were said to have charted in Canada.

Frustrated with the slog, Venom left Teenage Head in 1985.

In 2003, Venom returned to record a "best of" the band's catalog with Marky Ramone on drums, released as Teenage Head with Marky Ramone this year. Although not reviewed widely, it was acknowledged as one of the band's best works.

If any member of the band was posting to this board, then there'd be a case for treating that thread with more sensitivity. As it is, there's nothing even remotely mod-worthy on there.
