I started playing music at age fifteen. By age nineteen, the Guess Who were amongst my biggest influences. Fifty-two years later, I'm still playing, and still have the greatest admiration and respect for Randy Bachman, Burton Cummings, and the amazing music they brought us....and continue to bring us! Thanks for a wonderful hour with one of the industry's great masters!
I've been a fan of Randy Bachman since 1965 when I first heard The Guess Who song "Shakin' All Over" on local Edmonton, Alberta ,Canada radio. I was 13 years old in 1965. My dad and his two siblings were born in Winnipeg, Manitoba.
Randy and BTO and a handful of rabid Army personnel from Fort Polk Louisiana, had one hell of a great time at a club a little over ten miles off base back in 1987 or 1988 it’s all a blur lol one hell of a night dancing and singing right there on the dance floor back to back having a blast and I for one shall never forget it! Thanks to you all!
It's a God dame shame BTO and Guess Who aren't in the hall of fame. I'm from northeast Pennsylvania and had all their stuff from the 70's. Great stuff!
I also was inspired by The Beatles, from the first time my folks and I saw them on the Ed Sullivan Show. They bought me a Hofner bass like Mr. McCartney (which they really couldn't afford) and 55+ years later, well the rest is history!
Such talent, such a rocking sound and, the music! Sounds much better on today's new audio gear. BTO was very well crafted, performed and addled with energy.

For me it's stuff like this that makes youtube great. Randy Bachman talking about life stuff. Neil Young playing him his new bands music (Buffalo Springfield) and blowing him away with his singing. Gotta blame Bob Dylan for that one. LOL
Ha ha! The guy is a hit writing machine, had it down to a science but can’t sing for shit! He’s up there with the worst of em, the ones who talk their songs....lol
No one ever talks about his solo album Survivor…super underrated
I didn't know how he pronounced his name until today. I went along with the rest of the crowd and called it "Bach like as in lock". ❤
I can't get enough of these Randy interviews, the stories are endless and absolutely over the top awesome
yes, he is great story teller. Not so much a historian, or accurate or truthful. I guess, as he ages we get to see the results of such an aproach.,

Very nice, a talkshow on the radio, where they take almost an hour to talk to an artist. And specially when it is someone like Randy Bachman!
Randy Bachman with all his talent and accomplishments remains humble ! A great guy .

Randy is a class act! Thank you for all the good times!
Great interview, never tired of Randy's stories.
Great interview Ken! Bachman is fantastic.

They would rather have the go gos and Jay-Z in the rock hall of fame
This guy is the creative genius behind the Guess Who and BTO and basically taught Neil Young the guitar. Unbelievable that he’s not in the RnRHoF.
Styx and foreigner aren't in hall of fame either even though they have multiple platinum records.
I'm with you Brother!
I like that new song they did "you ain't seen nothing yet" that's the best new song I've heard in years
What a great guest to interview and DJ will not shut up .I mean ARE YOU FOR REAL? Shut up and let guest talk
I have a new respect and appreciation for Randy. What a guy. And can you imagine TWO CANADIAN icons...in one band? wow
Great bus and van stories! So many of us relate! Saw BTO at Winterland, SF circa '74 (Blair was in the band then). Great show.
Entertaining information about the Guess Who and Randy Bachman. Enjoyed.
My dad was born in Winnipeg in 1920 and the family lived in the house still located at 913 Jessie Avenue.
River Heights! Just down from the community club where Randy & the guys played I think.
Way cool

Randy never let the truth get in the way of a good story.

Great interview
WOW!
Its the same thing in Michigan---if you grew up like Grand Funk or the MC5, you either learned to rock, or build Buicks for the rest of your life!
When you don’t do drugs you can buy a shitload of guitars
Randy is a great story teller. PS get another camera!
Randy has been aging well.

DESTROY THE CHILD AND YOU DESTROY YOU DESTROY THE ADULT
who was the documentary about here? lol!
mick jones?
He meant Brian Jones. Generational divide in evidence.
Id like to here Randy say something about Frank Zappa
Okay... back-man or bock-man?
Backman; the record company executive/promoter in the US who first signed BTO said it wrong (bockman) and it stuck there.
This "interviewer" never shuts up!!
Randy's a great story teller, but a lot of what he says is far from actual reality.
Its an interview with the interviewer! This guy never shuts up!
Sounds like tractor. . .
Actually, it's a road machine!
Love the story telling .....BUT.......please dont sing!
Ha ha! The guy is a hit writing machine, had it down to a science but can’t sing for shit! He’s up there with the worst of em, the ones who talk their songs....lol
