Annihilator mastermind, Jeff Waters, took to social media to pay tribute to Goodwyn.

Says Waters: "Just heard... rest in peace, Myles. I had never met the legend but finally got to talk to him August 2020. I followed everything he and April Wine ever did, after I'd seen them at the "Ottawa Ex", as a kid.

"Nature Of The Beast and Harder, Faster are 2 of my favorite records ever. Loved the unique voice, amazing harmonies (guitar and voice!), triple-guitar attack, powerful drumming, incredible songwriting, stellar production (use of delay effects in 'Roller': groundbreaking)... check them out, if you haven't.

"I had the honor of chatting about our "in-common" things like both working with Ralph Murphy, us doing records at Le Studio, etc... I thanked him and his mates for the inspiration they gave me and also that I enjoyed his book! He asked "you've read that??"
I said "yup" and quickly took a selfie, while I was on the phone with him and sent it to his fbook
