Just have to say it Kim, you are a great singer man. When we hear anything you have done everyone on the planet knows it's you and just like every other great singer, nobody does it like you do. Be proud because you done us all proud.....Thanks for all the great music which rivals anyone
After hundreds and hundreds of shows ill always remeber kim mitchell and april wine in sault ste marie as my first concert ever !!! Thanks for everything George and Kim!!
"Diamonds, Diamonds" and "On The Road" have always been my fave Max tunes. Remember hearing them when they came out. Always thought they were these gems tucked away that only I heard so I went on a crusade, promoting them to my friends. Of course any Max fan could tell you how good those songs are. Those songs are there for everyone - I just wish everyone listened to them !
Kim is way too humble. This guy is one of the greatest guitar players in not just Canada but in the world. He's like a jazz guy on steroids who plays rock.
This is so fantastic.... its always been my favourite Max Song.. and there's so many... this and Let Go The Line... and lately I've joined a little Max Webster tribute band... mostly put together just cause we love the music.. and this is one of my favourite songs to do.... I love the fragility...
Excellent interview with a complete legend ! Kim is a brilliant songwriter and musician. His live shows are legendary too both with max and solo shows. A classic Canadian rocker who influenced me in my songwriting and guitar playing !!!
Kim Rocks! Humblest of them all! He inspired me to play guitar in 1988. It's been my Rock and Roll Duty ever since! Thanks for this interview. 18:17 Kim Mitchell disagrees with Steve Vai !! Hahah! Vai is such an Ego Maniac!! Cheers and Rawk on !
honestly, the very first time I heard diamonds diamonds? That's when I was convinced how diverse and musically creative Max Webster and obviously Kim Mitchell especially, really were! So underrated
Oh man, that is so good to hear! I thought it was just me. I totally hear ya on that "I don't know anything" feeling. I've played in my share of cover bands, but I hated most of them, and I almost never learn anything that I'm not getting paid to play. I'm interested in my own music . . . and if I do a cover, you can bet, I'm gonna pretty much re-write the song. Sorry, didn't mean to make this about me. I love Kim Mitchell!
i was a big fan of Max Webster as a youth. Just yesterday, i listened to some stuff i had never heard before, and it donned on me ....this guy is a pure rocker....always was always will be.....he just oozes it....embodies it....... take care of yourself Kim......
i like when Kim does not agree to Vai on Hendrix. Funny how Vai never really played on fm radio....he is good at what he does, but that rythm section sucks big time. Max Webster is such a unique band to me, cause Kim plays his ass off every songs, and has a unique sound and sense of harmony structure.
Canadian songwriter extraordinaire Ron Sexsmith (RAWNBOY on TH-cam) is a massive Max Webster fan, and has reinterpreted many of Kim's songs on his own trusty acoustic guitar, among other classic artists.

Kim has always had royalty status here in Buffalo, NY🇱🇷. Always will✌
Gotta love Kim, gotta love Canadian musicians..class act.
Robert Fripp, Adrian Belew, Brian May and the great Kim Mitchell... they were my guitar heros growing up! Fabulous guitarist and a very cool Canadian!
I love that you put these four names together. Without question Mitchell is in their league.
@@bobwegner And let's not forget Alex Lifeson !!!! lol

hmm, self deprecation isn't about humility...
hmm replying to a YT comment from 2 years is really stupid. FO@@thelucid3444
Both these guys are class acts.
I thought Rush was it until the first time I listened to Battle Scar, super talented guy.
What an unexpected gem that was! Cheers from a Max Webster fan from Greece (also a George)! Now do one with Lee Aaron... :P
George....Great Interview! Genuine and Sincere! Kim...a Class Act! Genuine in Return...Humble and True! Forever Inspired....Forever Loved:)

Kim is one heck of a man. Intelligent, sensitive, humble, open, … No wonder he connected with Rush.
Great interview! Seen Kim Mitchell and the rest of the band last weekend, they still got it!

Well done. I can't have a proper long week-end with playing some Max Webster & Kim Mitchell, just does not feel right.
Love you Kim Mitchell....LOVE from Alberta xxx
George, you’re still the best

I am not surprised that Kim has had a long career. He was at 13 a hard working creative man that had vision. Cheers Dave Webster
3:30 (On The Road) After all these years, it's still one of my go to's. How has this song not been covered by other famous musicians, rock or country.
Omg, he actually did my number one Max tune! Goosebumps instantaneously EH? 🎸🎼🎶🎤
Loved this!! Thank you G!

Do you ever go live?

Who is the greatest Canadian guitarist? …Kim Mitchell!
- Randy Bachman
Did Kim mean .. Sexsmith ? when he said he did On The Road with Stexton ?

Strombolopolis not worthy to spend time with Kim the rock God
