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.

“Early to bed, early to rise, work like hell and organize.”

“[Research has found that] ... parents whose children were “baby altruists” by two years firmly prohibited any child aggression against others. Adults not only restated their rule against hitting, for example, but they let the little one know that they would not tolerate the child hurting another.”
