Rest in peace you truly missed by missed by many I was lucky to have gotten a few lessons from gordie

[@geraldinetomkins5538]

love this guy. When I was a teenager, and a fan of Teenage Head, and heard that Gordie was injured in a car accident, I wrote to him and wished him well, AND HE REPLIED! unheard of then.

[@OutOnTheTiles]

Great story. What a legend. He’ll be greatly missed.

[@karnakosty5075]

it s just too sad :-( what a tragic loss for everyone not just local music

[@184186]

Gord Lewis is a Canadian guitar hero to me for all he was in the Head

[@ZeligUbique]

total respect for this man - a rock n roll hero , best times

[@HappyLife-vh2ey]

RIP Gordie

[@kenwilliams2271]

Unrated guitar player when I hear a marshall I think of the teenage head show everything cranked up and gord guitar sounding like a chain saw 😎

[@thegreathadoken6808]

May you rest in peace.

[@TheFairway8]

Very sad news bought me here. I was aware of Teenage Head but have not really listened to them. Seemed a very genuine guy with great influence anyone who's a fan of Thunders is all right in my book. Plus that TV Yellow Special guitar looks an absolute gem. RIP to him

[@Erated78]

Gordy has never disappointed in either live shows or recorded music. Love his sound and that beat up Gibson guitar as well. Cheers

[@lamper2]

Love that he mentions johnny thunders

[@talisbriedis]

Gord and Steve backed Johnny Thunders when he played in Toronto in a bar (Nickleodeon), can't remember the year.

[@1967PONTIACGTO]

Love this guy... he gives props to some of my heroes... Alice Cooper, the Dolls and the Ramones

[@darrenbrooks1443]

If there was ever an instrument I'd wish to get my hands on strictly based on who owned it, it would be his LP Special. Man, the miles and stories that unit has in it. :)

[@dCaddyshk]

RIP. Talking to guitar friends and wondering where it will end up.

[@onebyside]

I rem seeing him play the clear plexiglass while that one was being repaired.

[@CusterFlux]

Gord knows how to make those P-90s sing.

[@TheGibby3340]

I am not much of a guitar player, but in all honesty I Have been trying to mimmic Gordie Lewis's style for 35 years. Only a best a copy never able to duplicate !

[@lamper2]
