Damn Kim Mitchell is good!

[Marshallman]

I was on You tube checking out some stuff and came across a few of his videos and reminded me why I was such a fan of the man. Plus he's funny as hell. check him out! Especially Rock n Roll Duty, Lager and Ale and That's a Hold.

Kim is the whole package. Singer, songwriter and guitarplayer.

 

[D-Rock]

I always liked his tone.

I like him with Max Webster the best, but his early solo stuff was great to.

How about a little Battlescar...

At a time when rock musicians were wearing eye liner and spandex....he walked on stage wearing shorts, a tee shirt and a baseball hat. Love it!

Pete Fredette was a helluva musician also...seen here playing drums and singing. He also played bass and keyboards and could sing like a motherfucker! Kim had some great tone and technique at that time. I spent Summers listening to his stuff as a kid.
BTW...I loved when they did this song with Rush!

 

[Gainfreak]

Kim Mitchell is awesome and he always managed to get some killer tone!!

I 've never even heard of this guy before

I grew up in Michigan. Never heard of the guy. I might have at one point, heard that music, and just turned it off.

 

[petethorn]

he's still awesome. Had a great prog-ish 70's band called Max Webster, then had a successful solo career starting in the early 80's and he's still going- still gigs and is a DJ in Toronto on a rock station

check out his latest effort here, cool songs and playing:

p.s. the drummer that I did the NAMM Steve Stevens gig with, Randy Cook, he played with Kim for a long time...

 

[BlinkTwice]

His videos were the best

Hey now, I live in St.Louis Mo and I heard it! LOL! I was a big Rush fan, and this was recorded with Rush so it was on the radio here back in the day.. And I saw Max Webster open for Rush a couple times in concert, it was not my favorite type of music, but they were good live.

 

[70strathead]

Great player, great tones!

 

[Electric I]

Kim's newest, 'Ain't Life Amazing' is the best thing he's ever done. He finally gets to cut loose & there's some left-of-center Max Webster-isms thrown in for good measure. And his tone is godly.
