189: Bob Wegner and the Definitive Book on Max Webster


Listen Later

Jeff's special guest is as musical as it gets. And now a music author to boot. He learned to play, he learned to teach, and he landed the role as a guitarist in the “We Will Rock You” musical in Toronto, after winning the slot upon a successful audition with Brian May and Roger Taylor of QUEEN. Then he did some performances with Classic Albums Live, faithfully delivering the guitar parts of Jimmy Page for Zeppelin IV, and Alex Lifeson's guitar for the RUSH album 2112. He'd recreate records by other bands including Genesis, Beatles, YES, and Pink Floyd. Oh, and we talk KISS Cruise, because he's done that too. So, Bob Wegner knows how to play. He also knows how to compose. And now he's added author to his resume in coming out with Max Webster "High Class", the DEFINITIVE book about Max Webster, endorsed by Kim Mitchell and the other members of the Max machine, as it were. I hand Bob a guitar and he hands you a few performances including some deep tracks by Genesis and Paul McCartney, plus a precious gem by Max Webster. And we talk Beatles and Stones, and a reaction to Steve Lukather's recent rant about what the hell has become of (some) modern music and the way it's made.

Here comes the intelligent, talented and perfectly talkative Bob Wegner in an episode rooted in Max Webster, with branches all over the place, because these two are geeking out with Kim Mitchell's band, and beyond the moon.
