It’s impossible for me to even imagine knowing anyone like him again in this lifetime. </div></blockquote><blockquote><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">He was funny as Hell, unpredictable, incredibly talented, loud, sensitive and he could scare the shit out of ya if you weren’t paying attention.</div></blockquote><blockquote><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">I was lucky enough to the go deep into the trenches with him. We ran around globe together in our band taking on stages from Belgium to Brantford. We played in castles and in barrooms and hockey arenas living on a very long road and we had the best time of our lives.</div></blockquote><blockquote><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Russel was guided by instincts not by sight and he ignited pure fire at high volume, came out swinging’ with a bass around his neck that he made look like a ukulele. </div></blockquote><blockquote><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">The lord never patted him on the head but he may have booted him in the ass a couple of times. </div></blockquote><blockquote><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">He was out of this world as long as we knew him and now he’s closer to us than he’s ever been.</div></blockquote><p><b>Rick Prinsthal (Paperboys, <a href="https://www.reverbnation.com/thedeacons">Deacons</a>. <a href="https://myspace.com/rickandthekrickets1">Rick & the Krickets</a>, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/p/Rocket-the-Renegades-100063559990906/">Rocket & the Renegades</a>) </b></p><p></p><blockquote><p>I'm so glad that Russ Wilson and I had a chance to hang out at the Junkhouse show in Hamilton last December. Russ and I first met nearly 40 years ago at a <a href="https://tomwilson2.bandcamp.com/album/beat-music-by-the-florida-razors">Florida Razors</a> gig in a pub called 'Rebel's Roadhouse' on the mountain. Over the years, when I saw Russ perform live, either with Junkhouse or as solo performer, I was always amazed by his musical ability. </p><p>Every once in a while, Russ and I would see each other in the community. He always took an active interest in what I was doing and made me feel like he was in my corner. Russ had an affinity for the underdog and a genuinely caring heart. He was a good person.</p><p>R.I.P. Rusty keep on rockin', bro</p></blockquote><p><a href="https://www.facebook.com/grahamgreers"><b>Graham Greer</b></a></p><p></p><blockquote><p>Just gutted to learn that my cosmic soul brother, the singular Russ Rusty Wilson, thumping bass player of the beloved Canadian band Junkhouse, passed away this morning. </p><p>He was a funny, loyal, passionate giant of a man and we became fast and furious friends during the countless tours and festivals <a href="https://www.barstoolprophets.com/">Barstool Prophets</a> played with Junkhouse throughout the mid-90s.</p><p>A short testament to the heart in this man: in 1996, when Lori had freshly given birth to our #1 son, Liam, Russ drove from Hamilton, ON to Cornwall to personally deliver a gift. He showed up at the door of our apartment with gift in hand, chatted with me quickly (Lori was still in hospital) and offered congratulations and unsolicited but sage words of parental advice - “Don’t let the baby chew on electrical cords or get access to your credit card brother. Disaster in either case, guaranteed.” </p><p>He then hugged me, turned around and got in his car and drove back to Hamilton, as he was flying out to LA the next morning.</p><p>I’ve often described Russ as the sort of person who - if a friend needed a liver - would make sure you got a liver. It might not necessarily be HIS liver, but he’d make sure you got one in any case. 😆</p><p>A giant prince among mortal men. Taken too soon and profoundly missed. 💔</p><p>Hug your friends,</p><p>Graham</p></blockquote><p></p><p></p></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Below is the report from <a href="https://www.chch.com/">CHCH TV</a>.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/wOW4OZ92Fh0?si=Yha5-QunBMsJOzJH" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><b><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wOW4OZ92Fh0">Video above</a> courtesy of <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@CHCHNews11">CHCH News</a></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/sV_RZgL17CY?si=XTBtIupPcrXXgFpx" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><b>Links: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/rustyboyyy/">Russ Wilson</a>, <a href="https://blueshamilton.blogspot.com/search/label/Russ%20Wilson">More Russ Wilson Stories</a>, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sV_RZgL17CY&t=36s">Video above</a> courtesy of <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@blueshamilton">Hamilton Blues Lovers</a></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/3rxLf2eDb44?si=YFqGU83KJq6SI36M" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><b>Links: <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Junkhouse">Junkhouse</a>, <a href="http://blueshamilton.blogspot.ca/search/label/Junkhouse">More Junkhouse Stories</a>, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3rxLf2eDb44">Video above</a> courtesy of <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@junkhousevevo110">Junkhouse VEVO</a></b></div></div></div><p></p>

Our condolences to his family, friends and fans. </p><p>Greg lived in Brantford for a while and was a member of Kitchener Metal Icons <a href="https://www.planethelix.com/">Helix</a> and of Cambridge's <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starchild_(band)">Starchild</a>. He'd been with Helix on and off for years and was with the group until very recently.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">Social Media Reaction</span></b></p><p>From Helix frontman Brian Vollmer on the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/helixrockband/">Helix Facebook Page</a></p><p></p><blockquote><p>Fritz was like a brother to myself, Brent, Kenny, and many other people who worked for the band. Traci has asked me to write something to post. I could go on for hours about the guy, but right now I’m devastated, as are the other guys in the band. We’ve known about this since last April, but were unable to tell anyone, at Fritz’s request. He wanted his privacy through this. He was a proud guy and tough as f**k. When he fell off the ladder a couple of years ago and nearly died, I thought that was the end there. Fritz surprised everyone by coming back less than 8 months later for gigs in Vancouver & Calgary in one weekend. This meant lots of driving and flying-something that’s extremely bad for someone who has suffered a major concussion. He played great that weekend and didn’t complain. Many months later he told me that at the end of the Vancouver show at the Hard Rock, he nearly stood up and fell forward through his drums at the end of the show ‘cos he had vertigo so bad. </p><p>Like I said, “One tough guy.”</p><p>I met Fritz way back around the late 70’s when he played for the Cambridge based hard rock band STARCHILD. We both used to laugh over the fact that’s Fritz’s big part on the STARCHILD record "Children of the Stars" was in the song Johnny Groover. </p><p>The line in the song went “...here comes Johnny Groover in his Vet-he’s got to get it wet…” to which Fritz would then add a squirting sound: Pht-t-t–t–t-h!...”</p><p>Fritz was the funniest guy you’d ever want to meet. We could be in the seriousest of situations and he could say something and everyone would burst out laughing. He had that kind of personality everyone wanted to be around. Add to that his ability to attract scores of women at our gigs. Fritz was Helix’s “David Lee Roth.”</p><p>The most frequent question asked by girls outside the buses on the Quiot Riot/Whitesnake Tour in 1984 was, “Do you know where your drummer is???”</p><p>As a result, Fritz was frequently in “movies” as he called them. This meant that one of his relationships had gone sideways and was becoming a soap opera. The funny thing was that no matter how much he would piss off the girl, they would always forgive him, come back, and shower him with gifts. </p><p>Fritz was the consummate rock drummer: It was his craft. He prided himself in his playing, and well he should have. He had a style all his own. Check out the bridge to the chorus in Heavy Metal Love. Such a simple lick-playing on the off time, but Fritz learned that playing his first instrument-the accordion-in an “oom-pah-pah” band. </p><p>As I was telling Jamie on the phone today: “The public has no idea the sacrifices that musicians make for their craft. You think of the music business as be a fairly low-impact kind of job. In reality, you give up your personal life, your financial life, any type of regularity in your life, and…not to mention the physical scars. I’ve yet to meet a drummer who hasn’t ripped his rotator cuff. Guys with guitars and basses-ditto. We’ve stayed in the coldest rooms, the hottest rooms, gone without sleep, and made shit money. All for this thing called “making music.”</p><p>Fritz definitely did that. He loved his drums and he loved drumming and performing. He took great pride in everything he did. I’m going to miss him so much. </p><p>My heart is breaking now. Gotta go.</p></blockquote><p><a href="https://www.leeaaron.com/"><b>Lee Aaron</b></a></p><blockquote><p>So, so saddened to hear about the passing of Greg Hinz (Fritz) from Helix The Band . He was a rock solid drummer, a sweet, charismatic and very funny person, and a beloved pal all around from the Canadian Music scene. We crossed paths on many stages and at many airports over the years. My heart goes out to his band mates and loved ones today. </p></blockquote><p><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/v0eF8-QEVAg?si=sIBsYbAgQAGxkZlT" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe></p><p><b>Links: <a href="http://planethelix.com/">Helix</a>, <a href="http://blueshamilton.blogspot.com/search/label/Helix">More Helix Stories</a>, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v0eF8-QEVAg">Video above</a> courtesy of <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@helixrockband">helixrockband</a></b></p><p><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/rjb9epsSAFI?si=uV3KOS7wlbh-rfkl" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe></p><p><b>Links: <a href="http://planethelix.com/">Helix</a>, <a href="http://blueshamilton.blogspot.com/search/label/Helix">More Helix Stories</a>, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rjb9epsSAFI">Video above</a> courtesy of <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@helixrockband">helixrockband</a></b></p><p><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/6JcSUQ9Wx6k?si=WnY-hR8PNjQZVQCK" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe></p><p><b>Links: <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starchild_(band)">Starchild</a>, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6JcSUQ9Wx6k&list=OLAK5uy_lIOrIH5yngdWXNmCsBzEDQvkzxk_lcqp0&index=7">Video above</a> courtesy of <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMufwgoubYyeCgMa740Te1A">Starchild - Topic</a></b></p>

Will also be sadly missed by many uncles, aunts, and cousins.</p><p>Adam's contributions to the KW music community and beyond were immeasurable as an educator and professional musician.

Thank you for opening your heart to us and showing us the meaning of kindness, love and family. I’ll carry with me the special memories, the beautiful music and the joy, light and laughter you so freely gave to everyone. </p><p>We shared a love of Tom Petty and I always loved singing Walls with you, it always felt like singin’ with a brother, like you had my back. Love you Busch ❤️</p><p>“Cause you got a heart so big it could crush this town and I can’t hold out forever even walls fall down”</p></blockquote><p><b><a href="https://www.instagram.com/_seanogrady/?hl=en">Sean O'Grady</a> (drummer)</b></p><p></p><blockquote><p>On Saturday we lost a beautiful character named Adam Buschlen. When I say character, I don’t mean to minimize him as a man, but there was just no one like him, and he was the embodiment of the expression, “To know him, was to love him.”</p><p>Adam played the bass and sang. I got to play with him many times over the years in different bands and always loved it. He thought outside the box with a bass in his hands and he could get away with some adventurous voyages up and down the neck that would always leave me inspired and marvelling at how he had just gotten away with it. Sometimes I think he was just as surprised as I was.</p><p>He was a proud and devoted father, loved his beautiful wife Renate, and in the middle of a busy, hectic life, he just decided to enroll in university and study classical music and the upright bass. I couldn’t wait to pepper him with questions about what he was studying and he was only too glad to talk about it. His eyes would widen into saucers as he wondered if he could handle the course load and the expectations – which he always did.</p><p>Adam loved to laugh and getting him riled up was effortless. He loved grabbing a beer,</p><p> ( “Sean it doesn’t make us bad guys.”), catching up at the bar, and talking about <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Chambers">Paul Chambers</a> or whoever he was checking out at the time. Locally he was a massive fan of bass players like <a href="https://blueshamilton.blogspot.com/2023/11/stephen-hogg-passes.html">Steve Hogg</a> and <a href="https://www.paulintson.com/">Paul Intson</a>. At a party a few months ago, I dragged him over to talk to Paul and he was like a kid who couldn’t believe he was hanging with Batman or The Terminator.</p><p>Here’s the part nobody gets. Years before the university adventure, he studied martial arts and got a black belt in karate. As a result he was healthy as a horse and strong as two oxen! I never knew that he was fighting cancer, but if I HAD known, I wouldn’t have been worried because Adam was a walking brick. Hugging him was like wrestling granite.</p><p>Adam was a light. A bright, unpretentious, humble, mischievous light that I never imagined would stop shining so soon. I’ve been thinking about him ever since I found out on Sunday morning and it was such a shock, that the weight of his loss hasn’t totally hit me yet.</p><p>Rest In Peace brother. The world owes you nothing because you single handedly made it a better place. </p></blockquote><p><a href="https://sammyduke.com/"><b>Sammy Duke</b></a></p><p></p><blockquote><p>No words to describe the loss of Adam Buschlen. An absolute pillar of local music, and an even better human being.</p><p>Rest in peace, Bush-league. You'll be fondly remembered, Bro. </p></blockquote><p><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/zotpZ8Kvyfg?si=2S1RpKefmbGZ0YdW" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe></p><p><b><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zotpZ8Kvyfg&t=16s">Video above</a> courtesy of <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@adambuschlen878">adam buschlen</a></b></p><p><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/c4y9_0jeLaI?si=tVMTlvD_So-ROH9k" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe></p><p><b><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c4y9_0jeLaI">Video above</a> courtesy of <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@adambuschlen878">adam buschlen</a></b></p><p><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/UjH4bjRe-OU?si=dhTXha27USLQYYiX" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe></p><p><b>Links: <a href="https://www.themusicschool.ca/adam_buschlen.html">Adam Buschlen</a>, <a href="https://blueshamilton.blogspot.com/search/label/Adam%20Buschlen">More Adam Buschlen Stories</a>, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UjH4bjRe-OU">Video above</a> courtesy of <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@adambuschlen878">adam buschlen</a></b></p><p></p><p></p><p></p>

His talent as a guitarist (Forgotten Rebels, 1980-81) expressed the immense creativity of his spirit.
