Curly Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 (edited) Don't post here much, more of a lurker. Dug out my Max Webster albums today, hadn't played these in over 10 years. Max in my all-time top 10. Saw them open for Rush in '77! How do I post a pic? Edited January 23, 2014 by Curly 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Narps Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 (edited) I do have one Max Webster LP in my collection if I recall correctly. Live Magnetic Air. I don't remember listening to it much. I only bought it because of the relationship they had with Rush. I can remember vividly buying at least two albums in the late 70's just because I saw Geddy wearing a specific bands t-shirt in a photo somewhere.... :) Edited January 23, 2014 by Narpet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeminiRising79 Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Met Kim in '81, on Rush's MP tour. He was nice enough to come outside and talk to us. Tried to like his music but its too far out there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snaked Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 I've only really heard Battlescar. Here are a couple "essential" Kim Mitchell tracks(IMO solo Kim is better than most Max) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluefunk Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 I have Universal Juveniles.Me too! I love Max Webster, I wish I could have seen Rush when they were supporting. That would have been a great show! :haz: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunder Bay Rush Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Max - My second all time fave band! Nobody, and I mean NOBODY was a better showman than Kim Mitchell. From '76 into '81, he owned the audience. One of the best guitar players on the planet too. Buy their CDs. It will freak you out. Start with "High Class in Borrowed Shoes," from 1977. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syrinx Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 I love Max Webster. They were a great band and so connected to Rush in their hey day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

treeduck Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Max Webster are just RUSH junior, ie if you're a RUSH fan then they are the back-up group you're supposed to like as well. A band to listen to but just on days when you've listened to all your RUSH albums already, which in 1978 would be a total of 7 RUSH discs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ytserush Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Like them a lot. Have about a half-dozen Max albums and maybe three or four Kim albums. I'd almost believe Les Claypool listened to these guys as a kid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
