Overview

Dubious, unlikely, improbable... ...but indeed, verifiable and certifiable! The book is in fact the story of the finest rock ‘n’ roll band that ever was. Zeppelin, The Beatles, U2, Springsteen, Queen, King’s X... none can hold an expiring lighter to the conflagration that was the near mythical Max Webster. Consume these pages, and you will learn the secrets—often in the impenetrable code of the band’s top-shelf wordsmith Pye Dubois—of the wily Canuck wizards who made the above boast sing with unassailable truth. “Toronto Tontos,””Hangover,” “High Class In Borrowed Shoes,” “America’s Veins, Oh War!,” “Beyond The Moon,” “Lip Service,” “Charmonium,” “Paradise Skies,” “A Million Vacations,” “In The World Of Giants,” “Battle Scar”... these are towering anthems from the band’s tight catalogue of five classics spanning the years 1976 to 1980. And so, the time has come to re-celebrate and re-calibrate their majesty, along with dozens of other Kim Mitchell classics stuck in cult status... until now?!
