Early Years
Born in Ajax, Ontario, Canada, Baksh was heavily influenced by the bands Anthrax, Megadeth and Metallica, which motivated him to play music. The first song Dave covered was "Caught in a Mosh" by Anthrax. Dave's first guitar was the Hamer Vector (Flying V lookalike) which he purchased for $400 on vacation in Florida. Baksh met his future band members, Deryck Whibley and Steve Jocz, at high school, but he later dropped out because he thought it was the only thing that kept him away from music.

—Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
“It is not time or opportunity that is to determine intimacy;Mit is disposition alone. Seven years would be insufficient to make some people acquainted with each other, and seven days are more than enough for others.”
—Jane Austen (1775–1817)
