In 1970, after Kim came onto me after an Atlas Hotel in Welland matinee, he asked me to rehearse and play with them for a three-nighter, to see if I could be the lead singer and guitarist. I said look what you've got going already, but you are a band in transition, seeing the original keyboard player as losing it on the road. Three months later they had Terry Watkinson. I played my first video game, Pong, with Kim in Toronto where Dr. Music was the house band. We also shared a Fender Deluxe, trying to wire a DiMarzio P.A.F. Humbuckers with Stratocaster single coils. Kim was playing an orange Gretch Tennessean but it got stolen and he couldn't find another. I saw Jimi Hendrix and George Benson and was building my own lefty Strat with a humbucker by the neck. Just typing this feels so good. And yes, my bar band took it to the Max with some of their songs. john at johnwatt dot ca
Rob Repovs! I wouldn't be saying this online if it wasn't true, just what life was like back then. Max Webster resisted opportunities to record that weren't good for the band. They had their roadie turn on a cassette recorder at the back of the room to record the band, and they sold their own cassettes for years. Kim gave me one and a bar band I was in did two Max songs. They went over very well, people thinking we wrote them, but I always told them about taking it to the Max. I'm not getting into as much as I could because this is public.
Kim makes it look EFFORTLESS! One of the most UNDER-RATED guitarist of all time!!
His playing is sublime and this is one of the greatest album ending songs (of a great album) that I have ever heard in my 63 years...bless you Kim
Great Kim Mitchell Max Webster, I^m a fan since 1980.... greetings from Madrid _Spain

Seriously? John...there is no way a person can believe most of what you claim here. But all the best to you!

Your wording doesn’t make sense
Better than good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great song 😍 Kim that drummer is Hitting🤘
I'm pretty sure that's Gary McKracken, the original Max Webster drummer
🎉😢😮
Hey, can anyone identify the guitar Kim is playing? Is it a Charvel Jackson, a LADO Hawk, or something else?
It’s a hybrid that Kim put together.
