Mike Tilka: “Kim used to do that whirling dervish thing where he would get on one foot and spin around like an ice skater, and he was just too close to the keyboard. Terry leaned to the left, and Kim clipped him right in the cheek with the top tuning peg of his guitar and it went right into his face. It knocked him over. Coldcocked him. We stopped for a minute, we taped him up, and we finished the set.”
Kim Mitchell: “I remember that like it was yesterday. I always did these spins, and for some reason the stage wasn’t as wide as usual. Right as I did that, Terry had sort of leaned over towards me and just as he did that my guitar came around and the tuning peg that sticks out on the headstock of the guitar lambasted right on his cheek. I felt so bad.”

Greg Clarke
He was a trouper - when he got accidentally hit, by your headstock, at my highschool, he was back up and playing 5 minutes later. A lot of guys would've called it a night!
