Fan Stories

The house lights went down and the PA system announced "NO CIGARETTES, NO MATCHES!" We all booed and the stage lights came on with Kim bounding out to his microphone, with 3 cigarettes in his mouth!!! I remember he had a crazy foam sombrero that when he shook his head, he could change the brim from sides to front. We all became Max Webster fans for life! Years later, I met Kim at the local radio station to get the poster signed. As I uncurled it, he says "I remember that night, what a bunch of pompous assholes!"

I learned about Max Webster when I was about 12 years old visiting my brother in Toronto. He owned a music instrument repair shop. On the floor of his shop were some amplifiers with Max Webster painted on the top in white spray paint. I asked my bro who they were. I later that same summer returned to my home town in BC and went to a concert with them being the backup band to Styx. They started the night with Oh War. They blew everyone in the coliseum away that night and blew Styx off the stage. It was epic.
