RIP: Mark Sheehan (Out Cold/GG Allin/Bad Chopper/Warm Jets) 1969-2010[views:7305][posts:12]______________________________________ [Oct 15,2010 9:46am - stoneylarsen ""] Forgive me if this has been posted already, but we lost one of the good guys on October 2nd: Mark Sheehan. I'm still pretty fucked up by this. Mark was the singer in Out Cold and played drums and guitar in Bad Chopper (with CJ Ramone and Walter Lure) and Warm Jets (with CJ Ramone). He also drummed and played bass with GG Allin (most notably on the SUICIDE SESSIONS - that's his drum pounding on "Snakeman's Dance" which is heard throughout HATED. Mark also appeared on the FREAKS, FAGGOTS, DRUNKS, AND JUNKIES LP). Mark was also very briefly a member of Bulge. http://dracutfh.frontrunnerpro.com/runtime...ary&viewOpt=dpaneOnly&ItemId=561770 The obituary below was posted on the Dracut funeral Home website DRACUT - Mark T. Sheehan, 41, of Dracut died unexpectedly on Friday, October 1, 2010. Mark was born on June 15, 1969 in Lowell, a son of the late Thomas and Sandra (Bright) Sheehan. He was raised and educated in Dracut, graduating from Dracut High School class of 1988. Mark worked for many years at Saints Memorial Hospital as well as UMASS Lowell, and was also an accomplished musician. He was the singer and principle songwriter in the long-running hardcore band Out Cold. He was also in bands with C.J. Ramone of The Ramones and the late G.G. Allin, as well as several other projects over the years. The success of his musical collaborations allowed him to travel to other countries, playing to fans all over the world. His love of music saw him transition between numerous roles, including guitar, bass, vocals, drums, even recording/producing. His animated personality and sense of humor will be missed by all who knew him. He is survived by a brother Michael Soucy and his wife Amy of Dracut; three sisters Karen Weiler and her husband Edward of Gainesville, GA, Lisa Hannan and her husband David of Loxahatchee, FL, and Deborah Bradley of Newport News, VA; several nieces and nephews Lynnette, Erick, Lauren, Tyler, Ryan, Sean, Jason, Nicholas and Jennifer; four great-nephews Jacob, Nathan, Lucas and Zayden; many aunts, uncles, cousins, and dear friends. Friends are invited to call at DRACUT FUNERAL HOME 2159 Lakeview Avenue, DRACUT on Saturday from 2 until 6 PM. In lieu of flowers donations may be made to the Mark Sheehan Memorial Fund C/O Lowell Five Savings Bank, 2021 Lakeview Avenue Dracut, MA 01826. |

| _______________________________________ [Oct 15,2010 10:29am - stoneylarsen ""] He started playing with GG when he was 16. |

| _______________________________________ [Oct 15,2010 10:43am - stoneylarsen ""] One thing none of the obituaries mention is Mark was a really funny motherfucker. Closest sense of humor to Mark's I can think of is - no shit - Paul Lynde. |
| __________________________________________ [Oct 16,2010 6:40pm - Headbanging Man ""] Oh shit... That sucks, didn't know him well, but I bet the PSYCHO dudes are bummed. Ran into him at Casa Infection a few times and he always seemed like a good dude... |
| __________________________________________ [Oct 16,2010 6:52pm - Headbanging Man ""] Shit, maybe I'm thinking of another Mark... Either way, cheers for the contributions to the mighty BULGE!! |
| ____________________________________________________________ [Oct 16,2010 10:36pm - Big bag of assorted nigger parts ""] You're probably thinking of Marc God, another A-1 dude. Or not, I dunno. Out Cold fucking ruled, flying the flag for all-ages shows / low-dough / vicious oldschool fucking HARDCORE. Nite Mark. |
| ______________________________________ [Oct 17,2010 9:05pm - stoneylarsen ""] Confusing matters more is that both Mark (Sheehan) and Marc (Tobio) were both in BULGE but at different times. They also lived in the same house. Tobio is indeed another A-1 guy. Was also in CANCEROUS GROWTH. |

| ________________________________________ [Oct 27,2010 9:27am - DestroyYouAlot ""] Wow, what? Legit dude was legit, Out Cold was always super underrated. |
| _______________________________________________ [Oct 27,2010 1:13pm - IllinoisEnemaBradness ""] listening to Will Attack If Provoked today. My old band played a bunch of shows with Out Cold, mostly when Kozik played with them. Cool guys. RIP |
