Man,Kim is one of my favorite guitars players! I totally love the guy! So many great songs!

@paulforrest6000 3 года назад

Kim Mitchell came through Kirkland Lake a few years back. My wife and I were front and center. What a great Canadian rocker!🇨🇦🎸

I literally can see myself in the Kelly's record store in Calgary the very day that Kim released his very first solo EP, and I still love it today

@MGT_1960 6 месяцев назад

Kelly's downtown on 8th Ave. was a regular stop for me whenever I had some time off, when I was a young fella. I still have Akimbo Alogo with the original (blue) album cover ... and in a Kelly's protective plastic album sleeve. 😄👍🎶🎸. There was also a great record store on 17th back in the day that Mike Bezzeg (rest in peace, Mike 🙏), worked at (if memory serves).

I've seen Kim in his various iterations over the past 35 years, as well as the Webster reunion show at Lulu's in Kitchener in May, 1996. That line-up included Mitchell, McCracken, Watkinson, and Fredette. One of the best rock shows I've seen. I saw Mitchell most recently in Chatham, ON in March of 2020, just before things got silly. He still sounded great, and rocked the Webster HARD.

When I saw max opening for rush at the moving pictures tour, Kim finished the set not in a good mood throwing his guitar at the roadie on the side of the stage. And a week later they broke up. Only Kim could comment on this, I am sure he knows after all these years. I love max Webster and Kim is great solo artist and great rock composer. Love the rhythm, and his feel, dynamic and modulations. Great artist and hope he carry on with his talent ...hello from Montreal

A Million Vacations tour was my first ever concert. So good

@MGT_1960 6 месяцев назад

I was a huge Max fan in the 70's. I remember seeing them opening for Rush as well as a co-headline tour with the Ian Thomas band. I was leaning on the stage at that show and got a guitar pick of Kim's. Lol! At art college in the early '80s at ACA, my 2 Max Webster t-shirts regularly worn, had people calling me "Max" back then. Haha! Great Canadian band! One of the best! 🎸🎶👍❤.

@aerialarboreal9005 Год назад

My older brother was in a band that opened for Kim on one of his EP club gigs and as a 17yr old kid sneaking into the Nag's Head North to see this show was a HUGE highlight for all of us... We met Kim and get this... Bob Ezrin was also there that night!! I was too awe struck to say hello to him, I mean come on, the guy produced Destroyer by Kiss and made them a house hold name!!! However... It was an amazing experience, one I'kll cherish forever...

@paulbarker4267 Год назад

I remember seeing the New Years Eve 1989 show at the Gardens with Max Webster opening up for Rush. I think they did it for two years in a row. Remember seeing Rush drinking champagne on stage - was fun...

@TheNickelthumbu 3 года назад

I think that when you have had a great band like Max people will always want something more, forever. That's a good thing because that means they were special. The thing that hurts is they worked their asses off and were not promoted like RUSH was. Max Webster music was so original. Kim is such a talented musician. We are so lucky to have Max music and Kim Mitchell music. Timeless stuff. If you love guitar playing this guy is the real deal. Always incredible, incredible guitar. So glad he's putting a new release out. Can not wait to pop the new cd in and let it grow.

@johndrake2729 2 года назад

Those are such awesome words, my friend. I really appreciate them, and I'm sure Kim and the guys from Max would, too. I have to admit, I've been listening to Rush for the last three decades, and I have only known about Max for the last three days. Why? Because I live in the States where Rush are treated like kings and where Max is virtually unheard of. That sucks, but Max, to me, always had more of a harder edge in their sound while Rush kept changing theirs. And that's what drew me to Max, especially when I heard "Paradise Skies" and "Check". But I will say both bands are great. And, yes, Kim is one heck of a guitar player. Again, he's hardly ever mentioned here in the States, but one could definitely learn a lot from him!

@billybandyk0720 Год назад

@@johndrake2729 Sadly so RE: Max Webster/Kim Mitchell. Being from Detroit, MI myself (a stone's throw away from Windsor & Kim's native Sarnia), I've always had an affinity 4 Canadian musicians. What socks even more? Kim's classified as a "1-hit 1der" in the USA (courtesy of "Go For A Soda"). Personally; I'll make my decisions btwn "LAGER & ALE" bc "I Am A Wild Party". I have the "Battle Scar(s)" 2 prove that. So."Let Go The Line" & take a trip 2 "Paradise Skies". That'll keep me in "Check".

Most Excellent 👍. The MaX Machine Is Powerful

@Ontariosound 2 года назад

Outstanding band.

@markhamilton8765 3 года назад

My friends and I saw Max Webster numerous times throughout southern Ontario. The first time was at the Lester Pearson Theatre in Bramalea (300 people) promoting their very first album. What a fantastic show!!! I’ve been a HUGE Max and Kim Mitchell fan ever since.

@everettmercer9737 3 года назад

Thank You Gentlemen

@everettmercer9737 3 года назад

Awesome Max stuff ….

@auddoc99 3 года назад

Growing up in St Catharines, Ontario I saw Max Webster many, many times and as a guitarist myself, always considered him the best guitarist in Southern Ontario, next to Dominic Troiano. Extremely different genres, of course. He may even agree about that. They had an element or attitude similar to Zappa, in their own weird way and the local audiences knew all the lyrics! I believe the live audience intro recording of " The cat's in the bag. The neighbors holler....etc" was recorded at Uncle Sam's in Niagara Falls, if I am not mistaken. I was there that night, as I recall, but may have been in the same bag.

OK, so until a couple years ago I helped found and managed Floyd Factor, with Terry and his daughter Chloe both in the band. So I know a bit about it. Max did two one-off reunions already, and both were great. There won't be an extended reunion, because Kim's stance was "why should he split his concert revenues with 3 other guys, when he can play that stuff anytime and just pay his sidemen?" As usual, it was about money. Nowadays, there are also health issues that would make a tour very difficult. The second reunion at Sound Academy (The Docks) in Toronto was one of the best shows this city ever saw, though.

@imannonymous7707 3 года назад

Ya I hate to believe it's about money....he is such a generous performer....but then it's not just him.. and its always about money

@1HandGuitar Год назад

I like the thumbnail, really cool. Looks very ‘70’s

@digitalzomby Год назад

I saw Max at Massey Hall in 77 and saw them again at Massey Hall in 78. I remember seeing Kim solo at Spats during 1983 Halloween, he was wearing a tutu lol fuckin great.. They were taking a break and as he was walking out I jumped up in front of him and told him I was a big fan, I forget what happened after that... blame the lager, ale and weed for not remembering 🤪. I do remember being there though, I drove there and back with my friends in my car totally fried.😵‍💫

@traceygagnier9373 2 года назад

As long as Kim Mitchell is there💞❣

@mikegike7273 3 года назад

Ahhhhh. New Years Eve's in the late 70's....Maple Leaf Gardens......Max Webster opens fer Rush...... Awesome Times.........

@mauroc8239 3 года назад

It would be interesting to know if he would put Max Webster back together without the members who aren't interested in getting back together. I have seen Kim in concert on 2 different occasions. He was fantastic! Never saw Max Webster. Would love to see Kim do a Max Webster concert.

@scottdunn2178 3 года назад

Saw Max Webster opening for Rush on the Moving Pictures tour in Phoenix, AZ in 1981 about a week before I turned 15. Great memories.

@imannonymous7707 3 года назад

Best show I've seen in southern ontario...he got rained out one year and he rescheduled played his ass off and came back for three encores. Springsteen got nuthin on Kim Mitchell

@bradelliott3698 3 года назад

@philippedeblois1276 3 года назад

the 1st max album blew me away.

@CHAUNCEY.GARDNER. 3 года назад

Ahhh we here Toronto have been asking that for years,Massey Hall would be just fine.

@jeffhodge2276 3 года назад

I was biting my nails for a while, hoping Max would reform for Michael Werkle's (Dragon's Den) grand (re) opening of the El Mocambo in Toronto. I was lucky enough to catch Max back in '77 with my guitar teacher at Century Gardens in Brampton.....and have caught him numerous times as a solo artist. I recently saw him back in Feb (before the Covid lockdown) at the Rose Theatre, and the whole band were absolutely on fire!! I'd say about 50% of the show was Max Webster material, which satisfied everyone there. The thing that kills me about Kim, is that he's a horribly under-rated technical player.....take a listen to the intro of "In The World Of Giants". Lol, Mr. Mitchell was actually "shredding" before shredding was a thing!! Killer player, and his recent band are all top-notch musicians in their own right :)

@walcoman 2 года назад

I absolutely agree with you, and I am absolutely Blown Away, even to this day when I listen to his totally original lead guitar riffs from the Max Webster days, freaking Universal juveniles is a Masterpiece of writing and original Musical creativity

@whatwouldhousedo5136 Год назад

In some ways I like Max Webster better than Rush, and I'm a huge Rush fan.

There was a reunion in 1995. I caught it in Barrie Ontario.

@johnpatterson4272 Год назад

Kim Mitchell is not the dude to query if Max Webster will reunite, ask Pye DuBois. Kim is an accomplished studio musician, whom made most of his money from a DJ gig on Q107 in the late 90s. Pye DuBois retired as a Mental Health Nurse on Queen St. in Toronto. A facility where he wrote every single Kim Mitchell hit song of the 80s and 90s(the royalties are staggering). Max Webster was originally a 'regionally' successful band throughout the province of Ontario. They never gained national prominence like the Tragically Hip, nor did they become popular like RUSH 'state' side. Max Webster was made-up of gifted musicians and highly intelligent individuals with vast creative abilities from the late 60s, early 70s culture. Kim Mitchell in-earnest simply does not want to give up his stranglehold on all things Max Webster as we remember them, as that is his unofficial brand.
