Bachman Turner Overdrive "Let It Ride" Reaction | Asia and BJ

[@joeybee1914]

These guys were bad ass. They look like they came on down from a mountain somewhere in the Northern Territory, and just started rockin.

[@BrianFast-n1h]

Man, I love this song. Haven’t heard it in a long time, thanks for trying it out.

[@lakermd]

The very end with the harmony is one of the best closers in rock history.

[@chrisscott6211]

Best fade away ever

[@danthompson6106]

Absolutely. Just an awesome ending to an awesome song. Love those guitars and those amazing powerhouse gravel truck vocals of Fred.

BTO are great and sadly often overlooked- even though everyone knows at least one of their songs. Great stuff 👍

[@chriswildhaber35]

Agreed, great band.

[@barrettflorida]

How true. Got my 1st guitar right when this came out. Heavy bass back in the day. Love it

[@Arandomperson_online]

We know more then 1 song played the 8 track over and over and over lmao 🤣

[@squonk86]

This is my favorite tune from BTO and not a fan of the others but this tune kicks ass

[@Cherazny]

"Takin Care Of Buisness" and "You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet" was great by this awesome group

[@ralphfiligenzi6180]

"Hey You" is pretty cool too.

[@whazzuphere]

"Roll on Down the Highway" is a good one, too.

[@technomikelyons]

One BTO track that's often overlooked is "Take It Like A Man". Additionally, they had a couple of slower, jazzy cuts, "Lookin' Out For #1" and "Blue Collar".

[@jlbaker2000]

This is my favorite, though.

[@jlbaker2000]

The song was inspired by a car accident with a truck. Everyone was fine, so a driver said to just "let it ride".

[@creoleviking8433]

I'm a Black man raised in South Central Los angeles. What many don't know in the 70s we had bands in every block. I was raised listening to this song. It has always been one of my absolute favorites. My older brother would pick me up from school in his Couger, blasting this cut. Little know facts about the hood. This is one of my top 5 of all time!

[@myownchannel247]

One of the best things about BTO is no one asks what kind of music it is because it's pure rock and roll 🔥

Great song with Fred Turner on vocals.One cool thing about BTO is both Randy Bachman and Fred Turner sang lead on different songs.You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet features Randy on lead vocals.And Robbie Bachman,Randy's brother on drums.Tim Bachman,another brother also played guitar at times.

[@fscottgray9784]

BTO never gets the respect they deserve. Should be in the Rock and Roll hall of fame. Randy Bachman was also a corner stone if The Guess Who and has many great guitar riffs to his credit.

[@robertwalker1803]

Almost 50 years old…timeless music.

*That is Fred Turner on vocals in this one....always been my favorite BTO song.*

[@canaguy]

BTO, were a top Canadian rock band, sold millions, many great hits in the 70's

[@827dusty]

Early 70s Band from Canada. BTO as they were called, was a Band that branched off of "The Guess Who" (American Woman No Sugar). They had a nice run into the late 70s.

[@metalmark1214]

Another great 70's band and song. Also check out Takin' Care of Business, Roll On Down the highway, Blue Collar and Hey You.

[@danielhaynes2373]

I was fortunate enough to see them live in '88. Man, they are what '70s Rock is all about! And they ROCKED‼️

[@dmCurator]

BTO shines on this song. It's got all the elements and it's done really well.

[@carolecavanaugh2145]

All the band members have more talent in one finger than a lot of people will ever have in their whole lives. The singer's voice, the harmonies, the drumming, the guitars. Amazing! Sometimes you just have to enjoy the music for the music and not try to decipher the lyrics.

[@impudentdomain]

I grew up with this music. Damn good rock group.

[@kenwelch198]

BTO so often gets overlooked. For their straight up blues side check out Blue Collar.

[@kevinmcinnis2453]

Takin care of business..their biggest hit and I guarantee you heard it a movie or somewhere...its impossible not to like it...they write blue collar songs that relate to people...Canadian legends

[@erikthompson619]

Their second biggest hit, I must correct you. There's obviously no dethroning the unshakable behemoth that is "You ain't seen nothin' yet" 😛

[@annmills3163]

☮️💜 Randy Bachman, on guitar, was part of The Guess Who before the band split

[@debjorgo]

And Randy wrote, or cowrote many of the Guess Who's best songs, including These Eyes and No Sugar Tonight.

[@annmills3163]

@@debjorgo yep, him and Burton were a good team when it came to writing songs

[@ricknblueridge]

Randy wrote The New Mother Nature..Burton wrote No Sugar Tonight. Great bridge to connect the two songs. Most people thought it was one song. In reality it was two short songs bridged together to make one song.

[@debjorgo]

@@ricknblueridge You have that backwards. Randy wrote No Sugar. Burton wrote New Mother Nature. There are live versions of them doing their own song without the other. Check out the Guess Who's post Randy Bachman's version of New Mother Nature. It's like a different song. There's a version of Randy doing No Sugar Tonight with the Ringo Starr All-Starr Band.

[@Guitaural.]

Great band with lots of hits. Saw them on a tour opening for Van Halen in the 80s and they were recording some live tracks. They were so loud I had to go out in the Vending/Restroom area of the coliseum...lol. Side note: Randy Bachman grew up down the street from Lenny Breau, one of the greatest guitarists that's ever walked the planet - I think Lenny taught him some things early on.

[@jordan390a]

Lenny was a huge influence on Randy....Even with the Guess Who, Randy showed his jazz licks...!

[@markrobb4343]

I saw the same tour! My opinion, they blew VH away

[@Guitaural.]

@@jordan390a I think Randy still protects Lenny's legacy when it's brought up. No way to measure it, but Lenny may have been the most versatile player to ever pick up a guitar. Could literally play any style.

[@erikthompson619]

Oh yeah, did you know that Van Halen picked BTO as their support for that tour because they reckoned that after the audience had sat through a set of BTO's greatest hits, they would be in a good mood and not bash and boo at Van Halen's then new singer Sammy Hagar - had they previously been so inclined? As it turned out, Van Halen had no cause for concern, "5150" becoming an instantly huge album and the band's first #1 in the US, but I still think it's a great story.

[@Guitaural.]

@@markrobb4343 That were so loud in the arena I was in Mark, we couldn't take it...lol. They were recording.

[@guichogf5636]

Not Fragile is a terrific song. The whole album is gold.

[@alecfed]

Fred Turner was best man at my sister's wedding. Fred and my brother in law played in bands together back in the 60's. He plays bass with BTO, but back then he was an amazing lead guitar player.

[@davidlisowski5245]

He still has that awesome voice all these years later.

[@robincochran7369]

Another one of the great bands from Canada. Love this song.

[@randyhochstein8455]

BTO was a great band. I saw them in 1975 after the Bachman brothers (Who had left The Guess Who) and Fred Turner formed Bachman Turner Overdrive. My favorite BTO song is “Not Fragile”, from the album by the same name. ✌🏼😎

[@dannycasson1551]

Seeing that disco ball brought me all the way back to my first concert ever. I know I’m aging myself but that ball with a light shining on it was the only “special effects” at the BTO concert I attended! As Asia would say, “what?” These guys were panned by the heavier rock groups and their fans back then but I’ve always loved this band. “Taking Care of Business” is probably my favorite. “God forgives, I don’t”..classic!

[@timothywettlaufer8107]

"Hands Down" the MasterPiece of BTO. I am Canadian.

You can't help but move to BTO. Everyone had their albums back in the day. Check out Blue Collar - who would think these guys could also do some amazing jazz? How that song isn't a 70's classic, I have no idea; perhaps it deviates too much from their image. Their masterpiece, imo.

Yes and yes. My fave by them.

Oh please Asia, sing more. We all love your voice. Would love to hear you do some covers, too.

[@jessegreen6138]

The lead singer was Fred Turner. When this song was released in 1973 there were three Bachman's in the group. Those three were Randy (the lead guitarist), Robbie (the drummer), and Tim (guitarist, vocals). By the way the other BTO song Y'all reacted to was "You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet". Now you need to do there second hit that "Let It Ride" was on. That song is called "Taking Care of Business". Two others that you might find real good are "Hey You" and "Roll on Down the Highway". All of these are still heard on Classic Rock Stations here in the U.S. Thank you Asia and BJ for your reaction to this song.

[@billtaylor3382]

Love you guys! You react to so many of my favorite Songs I grew up to. I tell ya back in those day's there was so many different bands that we all enjoyed! What happened to good music after 2000?

[@TimBee100]

This group formed when The Guess Who disbanded and Randy Bachman was one of the main songwriters from The Guess Who.

[@ivansavoie3190]

I don't think they disbanded, Bachman left for whatever reason, saw the Guess who in 76 with Dominic Triano I believe it was their second last concert, was in Hamilton Ontario. Not saying that they weren't apart for a time, if they did I never knew or heard about it.

[@debjorgo]

Check out Brave Belt, the band Randy formed with the first Guess Who singer, Chad Allen. Fred Turner joined after the first album, Chad left, and then they turned into Bachman Turner Overdrive.

[@brianherrington7226]

Randy was one half of the Bachman/Cummings team that fronted The Guess Who.

[@ToddSauve]

In an interview Randy Bachman said he and Bachman-Turner Overdive were sharing a dressing room with the Doobie Brothers during Mardi Gras in New Orleans back in the early 1970s, when he was working out the final guitar parts for "Let it Ride." The Doobies liked it so much that they used very similar chords on one of their biggest hits "Long Train Running" from their best album "The Captain and Me" (1973). Compare the two songs and you will see right away they were baked in the same oven. Two of _THE_ best rhythm based Classic Rock bands ever. In fact, Randy stated plainly in another interview that he specifically was trying to create a rhythm based rock band in the same vein as CCR and the Doobie Brothers when he formed BTO!
