I'm reading Randy's book about halfway finished. What an honest, humble man! I never realized how important he is to the history of rock and roll! Thanks Randy !!
One of the most enjoyable interviews I've seen with a musician. No hype and not full of himself. It's a shame we don't have ones like this anymore.
ITS AN ACT, dumb ass, randy is a fuckin goof.
Randy. World class talent, and such a humble amazing human being.
I never get tired of listening to Randy. He’s amazing! What a personality.
BTO should be in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame & really deserve it for their mesmerizing excellence.
I had the upmost pure pleasure I seeing Mr. Randy Bachman at the CNE recently....... Blow your mind..... Love him, would love to meet him.. I was listening to BTO in early seventies....he's only getting better⭕️❌⭕️❌⭕️❌
Its good too see Randy Bachman i,m from the England and l grown up with B.T.O they have always been one of my Favorite groups
I'm a huge Guess Who fan, not that big a fan of BTO, but Randy Bachman's a classy guy.
Best interview! Randy, Burton, Fred, and the others from that era put Canada on the rock and roll map.
Guess Who is probably the most underated band of all time.
@Random One s
DICKERED IN HAMILTON RIGHT NOW
LOVE THIS MAN
I LIVED THROUGH THE SEVENTIES
A DECADE LIKE NO OTHER!!!!
RANDY YOU ARE MY HERO
A GOD AMONG MEN
A BALLAD FOR BACHMAN
CHEVY IMPALA
Love this man. What a great storyteller and musician. BTO is a very underrated band. Great songs, most of which you would never hear on the radio. Not Fragile is still great to listen to, 40 years later.
WOW, I could have gone on listening for Hours, Being a musician , I can Somehow relate to some of the stories he brought up about touring, he has so many interesting tales about his musical experiences, Hats off to Mr.Randy Bachman
THE GUESS WHO! All the way! Much more colorful and Burton on vocals can`t be beat.
Randy is easily in my top 10 of all time. He also seems like a great guy
What a great guy and guitarist. I like guitar players that do not get in the way of the song. Randy is that kind of player. Every note matters
Mr. Taylor, that statement should be a mantra for all players..."I like guitar players that do not get in the way of the song". Thank you for that wisdom.
this guy is one of my hero's. just a great guitar player, a great person.
mine too Chuck, sixteen all I wanted for my birthday was BTO first album Not Fragile. Music spoke to me. I raced BMX and yearned to race motocross and this music was right up my amped up alley. I so want to meet him and CF one day.
chuck jones tell us how he is such a great person
goatstaog tell us why he isn't ?
goatstaog no what your doing is trolling the Randy Bachman comments. lol .. which is fine with me, I could care less to be honest, but if want to know Bachman donates a lot of his time and money to charity's. I don't know if you know, he paid to have his bands equipment shipped to the Carpenter House Hospice and Bob Kemp Hospice in Hamilton last Christmas, to play for free with all proceeds going to the hospice house. see that's for people with cancer. not only that but ive met Bachman, he's not a stuck up shrewd like Cummings was. to be honest the nicest guy of them all is Jim Kale . ive met every member of the original guess who.your a burton Cummings fan. you know the guy who stole all the rights to Randy's music.bought it, said he's give it back, then he just hides every time Bachman asks about it, why do you think the last album was all covers ? because Bachman knows burton is a pincher when it comes to copyrights.well you asked, so there you go.
goatstaog man. your a riot..lol just look at your other comments on this thread. your emotionally upset that others appreciate Randy's music. enough to reply to multiple comments from multiple people.I was just minding my own business making a comment on a living legend, one of the greatest guitar players ever. and along comes someone saying ""you're the one stating he's so great, so tell us why"".so step back just for a second and put yourself in my position. im thinking your a troll. am I wrong ?why would someone be hanging around a randy Bachman video asking people why randy is so great ?your trying to justify why you don't like him, are you trying to change my mind or something ? lolwho cares man. there's better things to do in life than be miserable over your hate for Randy.good luck.
I could listen to Randy all day and then some :)
What a great interview. Loved it. What a sweetheart Randy is.
Yes The Guess Who And BTO should be put into The RocknRoll Hall of fame what american doesn't know the songs of these two great great bands !
Got that right ... the best music of the 70's. They definitely deserve induction into R n R Hall of Fame
Agree 1000%!!!!!!
Those band's music is still some of my favorite to listen to today!
It's nice to see an interviewer that does his homework. Great job George!
What a great interview! George S is dialed in, Randy is so humble and conversational - and the Les Paul story @17:30 is FIRE!!!! Thanks so much for posting this!
Wat a hell of.a guitar player very underrated
He was not underrated!
I could have listened to Randy for a week, telling his stories!!! Canada is Proud of you Randy, and we love you and your bands you gave been in!!!
Totally awesome interview...Again a humble Canuck whoes' bands deserves to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame . These guys kicked ass all over the world...
I Totally Agree with you, They deserve all the Honors the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame can bestow upon them, its just wrong that they won't recognize their Incredible Music,and the importance they played in the shape of Rock and Roll!! Love them!!
plpgto Best Canadian Rock Group of my time..
yeah...his Les Paul that he recorded American Woman is on display at the Cleveland RnR HOF, but The Guess Who arent inducted...let alone B.T.O. Irony...only in America

Respectfully, I guess you never heard "The Band" before?
Happy 75th Birthday Randy Bachman
I love Randy's guitar playing. It's cool to see that he is also a nice guy. Now I want to read his book!
He's a ruthless man at times. I read his book, great reading.
Randy's a real everyday Joe & I am proud to be a Winnipegger because of him :)
@@CantFixStupidCanI ruthless yes. also a perfectionist kind of like Tal his son same way.
Randy Bachman seems to be a very likable straightforward guy. Love to have him for a friend.
Bachman is still BEAST!!!!! LOVE Randy Bachman!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You are awesome, Randy. I took my 12 year old son to a concert w/you and BOC at Stone Mtn., GA. We so connected there and he's now a father 3 X over. I want to take my grandkids to a BTO concert. Granny still rocks!
It was a good moment in time. don't be a troll!
NORMALIZATION OF IGNORANCE, Music is a great way to connect with kids. Doesn't mean it's the only way. I took my son to see AC/DC when he was 7. Yea, we connected and have many times since. You're a shallow person.
Thank God for people like Randy!
What a fantastic interview! That was the fastest 31 minutes ever. Both men managed to bring out the best in each other.
Agreed, excellent interview. The first time I ever heard George Strombolopolous doing an interview, I had some reservations about his skill as an interviewer. The interview with Randy Bachman put my concerns to rest, because I could see that George is actually an excellent interviewer. He doesn't ask lame, dumb questions and really seems to know how to bring people out of their shell.
Gee Randy's past 70 & aged well.
Love those Canucks! I'm one too! Love Randy and all his work. The Guess Who was a GREAT band.
I used to steal my brothers cassette copy of Not Fragile back in 74 when i was 8 and 9 and listen to it on a crappy little black cassette player. I loved all the songs and played them over and over. BTO is from my town. I feel a certain connection to their music. You ain't seen nothing yet is one of my favourites.
Around the 24:00 and the 27:00 minute mark, when Randy's talking about drugs, I now get the line from "Rock Is My Life and This Is My Song" from "Not Fragile" - "It's a cryin' shame that some of us have not survived. No use in askin' how it happened, but very few are left alive". It only took me 44 years.
Music Icon. I'm a Florida kid that was introduced to BTO in 75'. Researched his career and found about the rest. Love that music
Absolutely spectacular interview!!!
FANTASTIC I LOVE RANDY
I'm a 1960s kid .Grew up in Garden City right next door to Bannatyne and the north end of winnipeg. Absolutely love this interview and Randy and the Guess Who and the other bands.
Love the talk of all the musicians Randy mentions.. I purposely drive thru kildonan park playing the guess who hoping to stumble across my Rock Heroes and say....
Hi. Rock on. Memories are precious. CHEERS ROCKERS FROM WINNIPEG!
Randy Bachman-BTO rock band of rock bands man ❣❣love love love BTO. At any venue BTO comes on and the place is jumpin! It is sad that the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame has let you down, but you live in the hearts of people all over. Especially in the hearts of 🇨🇦 Canadians 🇨🇦 and we have some great rock bands. BTO is legendary. My son, (singer) hated rock and then he heard 70's rock, he had a change of heart. Then he heard BTO and was sold. I'm glad you sobered up and left The Guess Who. Sucks that they persecuted you, but you are better for it. Love your music, you're awesome
I was lucky enough to see BTO on 2 occasions....awesome shows. I appreciate The Guess Who , but BTO was my style of music
Randy is the man !
Great Interview, God so many questions to ask a guy like that.
Canada loves you, Randy
Randy Bachman is a real class guy.
I FIRST HEARD BTO AT 15YRS OLD STILL ONE OF MY ALL TIME FAVORITE BANDS . RANDY HAS HUGE TALENT BUT IS AMAZINGLY HUMBLE
What a fabulous interview!! Please have Randy back on your show soon as he's incredibly interesting and he has such enjoyable, informative and educational stories. Love your program George (and you of course) and loooove Randy-a win win formula. (Bravo!)
nice interview, both people.
American Woman/Takin Care of Business are two that comes to mind.
I’ve been listening to the most recent live BTO on RUclips,, I think they sound better that ever,,, not fragile is incredible,, I’ve played it over and over again ten times in a row.... then others,,sledgehammer,, all of them.. it’s fantastic
Love the Les Paul story! Wonderful!
perfect gentIeman!
I probably would not have listened to Lenny Breau if not for Randy Bachman. Truly, an amazing talent. The two of them.
Great interview. And a Frank Zappa reference. No drugs , no booze. Nice one Randy.
He doesn't smoke on account of being a Mormon but does he drink black coffee?
I had Never heard of this Interviewer but Now I think I will be up all Night watching his show. I just watched this intervew with one of my Guitar Heroes,.. RANDY BACHMAN,. and t was SUCH an insightful, Humorous, Captivating Interview. He asked ALL the Rght Questions and if you are a Guitarist, Musician, or Fan of Musicians or songwriters,.. you may find this fascinating. If you don't ,.. Sorry, but I did. Thanks George for such a fun Interview!!
Classy guy!!
"Takin' Care of Business" is one of those iconic songs that comes along once every millennium. He's right about "TCOB". I've played that song in bands forever and all you have to do is start it and the dance floor packs. Randy Bachman is guitar legend.
I hear ya. Even till today every wedding i go to still plays Taken Care of Business.
What a great interview.Awesome stories Mr.Bachman.Major props to you sir.
Craig Busick ii
Fantastic!
What a great interview. The Les Paul stuff is priceless. Wow.
Absolutely amazing!
The guy interviewing is good. I stumbled onto this interview. Well done.
Love Randy. Great interview.
wonderful!
Wow... great interview. Randy seems like a wonderful person!
Kool🎸《☆》Randy's a fine example for todays up & coming Rockers🙏🏻I've always heard Bachman pronounced like Bach not Back👍🏾😁🤳
Love this man and his music. ❤
I have come to the conclusion that the R&R Hall of Fame is just one man's and one small group's ego trip. When they induct newer bands that have maybe done 1/10th of what other WELL established musicians have done.......it speaks of EGO and nothing else. This guy is such a wonderful person who is also a old time musical genius. Randy Bachman is among a huge group of performers who literally changed the world and by doing so changed my life. Bless them all. ( I tell everyone I meet- screw the R&R Hall of Fame, never go there.)
What a great musician and Canadian. Winnipeg Rock Star.
I remember when I was a teenager growing up in the 70's and I worked at this Newspaper agency. We used to put the inserts in papers. The job was called "stuffing" the papers. Anyway we had to get picked up by this guy at something like 3am. He would take us to the Agency to suff papers. The guy who picked us up looked like Randy Bachman to me and we always went nuts in the van if a BTO song came on the radio while we were on our way to the agency. This was all during the time BTO was just becoming famous. Takin Care of Business was our theme. When they followed it up with Roll on Down the Highway we just went crazy. For whatever the reason, BTO was the #1 band for us, and we couldn't get enough of them. This was huge because I grew up in a family where my father played guitar in a Country band. I think this was our sign that we were true rock and roll fans. My Brother played in a band that played top 40 type music, which was okay but sometimes they would get requests for jazz type songs which was fine but I like the more aggressive rock songs.
He has a huge guitar collection this Canadian rocker!
Hey thanks so much for posting this interview
Great interview....thank you.
I saw BTO at an AMWAY function of all places and they were awesome.
Randy is AWESOME!!!
what a nice guy !
Great Interview!
BTO was always in rotation during the 70s here in Florida
I never realized just how prolific Randy Bachman is. O , I was around back in the days of Guess Who, And BTO, never a real huge fan of either, but just watched the BTO documentary, and man. I never realized they were that HUGE> Gotta admire Randy Bachman, he still sounds like a young man. That's what taking care of yourself does for you. Cool Guy.
Good interview !
Russ Jackson, Ottawa Rough Rider QB, beat the Bluebombers, went out to a bar in Winnipeg to celebrate and heard the Guess Who. He got talking to them and asked if they would come to Ottawa. They said yes, and found out later Jackson was the Vice Principal at Sir John A. Macdonald high school! They played a show, (that I got in trouble for sneaking out to) at the school. Never took a better punishment in my life! It was worth every second of being grounded.
A lot of admiration for him, as a great musician who rocked me out in my early teens, but who avoided the drink/drug lifestyle and is therefore still clear and clean despite maybe having more than his share of cheeseburgers, but he took measures to drop weight and try to get healthy. A lot of rockers would be dead by now but he's still articulate and lucid and enthusiastic. Also, as per interviews like this he has a bunch of great tales to tell, but with a healthy sense of humility.
Great musician. Open and honest 😎
WOW ! WOW !!
Love Mr. Randy Bachman.
Not fragile is the best album ever
A true Rock´n´Roller.
Old Chimbo enjoyed this.
"Is this my interjection?" He meant intervention of course but he's so adorable, Randy Bachman is. I think Jimmy Page, Angus Young, and so many other musicians should take notes from Randy's interviews...
Yes A real nice guy ,met him once at the Brickyard book signing .
Randy is a great guitar player. Has written alot great songs that influence culture/people still todsy
I was at the SARS fest along with a few friends from Cortland/Ithaca, NY. Such a great memory
The Les Paul story of Mr Bachman is priceless !....at 17:25 in.....
This is about Randy!
How's that Les Paul story - an era past now - fabulous
Talkin' care o' business!
I had no idea they were from Canada. All I knew was they are friken great
Bring Strombo back!
Randy Bachman is being graceful about the breakup.
Being a family man is a good thing!
