The great and underrated Fred ‘CF’ Turner on bass guitar and vocals

[@inspectorvol951]

Been waiting for someone to do this song. Bass line is banging.

[@debjorgo]

My favorite by BTO is Let it Ride. I like this song. Roll on Down the Highway, Gimme Your Money Please, Hey You, Sledgehammer, and Take it Like a Man. And there are plenty others.

[@christopherhebert9069]

Randy Bachman was also in The Guess Who as well as other bands! When I was in the Army stationed at Ft Polk LA, BTO played a nightclub where they used wireless equipment so they were amongst us all on the dance floor letting us sing with them and they danced with us and during breaks they drank and had a great time with us ! We went well past closing time and had such a great night Randy and I hung out so much the girls my crew came with left without us hahaha we walked over 10 miles back to the fort and went out with different girls right in front of the girls that left us the next night hahaha. It was an epic two days and I shall always thank Randy and BTO for a great adventure!

Memories

[@joecat70]

First time I’ve ever heard that and my thought from the first riff, all the way through was just “Nasty”. The guitar and vocals were so damn goo and rhythm section just pounded right through it. Awesome song

[@Zekerose]

Thank you!! Being 59 and seeing a young man listen to what I loved, this is awesome.

[@jeffreyflint6286]

My favourite Canadian band! They have so many fantastic songs. This album and song was their heaviest.

[@myownchannel247]

I had this album when I was a kid, it’s held up well 🔥

[@hondaphan4172]

It sure has held up well. Me and my neighborhood buddies would play the hell out of this album during the mid- 70's on the large console stereo(remember those things? :) in my parent's basement. My favorite BTO song is Sledgehammer and I always considered their Not Fragile album to be a timeless classic.

[@scottmccullough4267]

Still got mine from 1974 !!!! I m happy my kids love this also !!!!

[@conniekat3424]

I can't believe I've never heard this before...it rocked!!

[@Chris_Clark1MaidenFan]

Really, listen to the whole album. Rock is My Life, Roll on Down the Highway, You Ain’t Seen Nothing Yet, Freewheelin’, Sledgehammer, Blue Moanin’, Second Hand, Givin’ It All Away. Not a bad song on this album.

[@romancturner]

Really great album over all. Sledgehammer is a great tune, but the tune that brings me back from this album is, Rock is My Life (and this is my song). Also, another great one from this album is, Givin' it All Away. Enjoy bro! Always great catching up with your channel

[@danieldietsche2954]

Was one of our favorite 420 songs... back in the day

[@jeffsmith8849]

First concert I ever went to was Bob Seager, Charlie Daniels band and BTO as the headliner. So good. Best BTO song? Blue Collar.

[@robdas1]

Rock and Roll is not just the music of America, it's for everyone, everywhere! No one country can own rock and roll.

[@tammiec4937]

Good request Lance! BTO was a one of kind. And from Canada 🇨🇦 Canada rocks! So many incredible bands from Canada!

[@TheAdventuresofTNT]

Agreed!

[@aandpman]

Not Fragile was always my go-to when checking out a speaker system, especially a subwoofer ;-)

[@TheAdventuresofTNT]

Hahahahaha…. Nice

[@mikenastasi8927]

@@TheAdventuresofTNT From Canada, besides RUSH and Nickelback, have you checked out Triumph or April Wine?

[@lancecornell9978]

Another banger for you T. Apparently, BTO heard the Yes album, Fragile, and noted that they definitely were not fragile! Glad you liked it. Going deep next request

[@rayezzo8889]

Rock is my life (this is my song) was always my favorite by them

[@Lakeshore14]

Love Randy Bachman. Great Canadian rocker. Have seen him in concerts a few times as a solo and with his former Guess Who partner, Burton Cummings. You would love American Woman by the Guess Who with Randy. Thanks for this reaction. It’s a great rock sound. 👏🇨🇦👏🇨🇦

[@jeffreyflint6286]

Love your reaction T. Keep rocking and rolling man. 63 years I've been going. Never gonna stop!!!!🤪

[@onepieceofgumleft]

BTO “Four Wheel Drive” is a banger and a personal favourite 😉👍🏼

[@kevinstimelsky673]

BTO..Great band! Caught them on Van Halen's 5150 tour in 86.. man they played this song and Kemper Arena went nuts!!!!

[@MAYNARD927]

I was at the Seattle show on that tour.

[@pamagnolia]

BTO was fabulous!! Love their music!!

[@jeraldholcomb1984]

I bought this album when it came out, I still have it. BEST of times!

[@debbieplato5107]

Banger of a song by my hometown boys! 🇨🇦 The Guess Who ( Randy Bachman was part of the band originally) BTO April Wine Triumph Rush of course The Tragically Hip The The Tea Party to name a few The Tea Party is an interesting band. They rock hard and some of their music has a middle eastern vibe. The lead singer Jeff Martin looks and sounds like Jim Morrison of the Doors. Check out Sister Awake live at Much More Music Toronto by them Cheers We know how to rock in Canada 😉 🇨🇦

[@dashmanqq]

Love what you've done to your studio it looks great

[@scottbaxtrom4324]

Bachman & Turner Blue Collar live. Bachman & Turner Not Fragile live. Amazing.Enjoy the ride .

[@derekhorlock1976]

Blue Collar and this tune are my favorite from BTO! Canadian here 🇨🇦 and an old one 65

[@patswanson2870]

The lead singer on this song is Fred Turner.

[@kevinwingo1382]

Love your reactions T , keep on rockin brother.😎🎶🎵🎶🎶🎶🎶

[@Chris_Clark1MaidenFan]

@TheAdventuresofTNT If I’ve said it once I’ve said it 1,000 times BTO is a Heavy Metal band ahead of their time. LISTEN TO THE WHOLE ALBUM Really, listen to the whole album. Rock is My Life, Roll on Down the Highway, You Ain’t Seen Nothing Yet, Freewheelin’, Sledgehammer, Blue Moanin’, Second Hand, Givin’ It All Away. Not a bad song on this album.

[@creekdweller9662]

Bachman Turner Overdrive, omg, 8-track days baby. Smoked a lot of weed to them. 😅😅😅😅

[@bryandouple5595]

I got to see them a few times in the 70's and they put on a great show! Free Wheeling & Blue Moanin are a little more on the blues side and Sledgehammer is just what it sounds like. Keep it up! You're finding some good stuff but there is allot more out there!

[@lynnw9857]

In the 70s we here in Canada were inundated with BTO songs on the radio…so much so that people began to call them Bachman Turner ‘Overdose’…😂. I’m a firm believer that the best BTO songs were, like this one, written by and sung by Fred Turner, not Randy Bachman….Fred knew how to bring it! Try “Roll On Down The Highway” , another Fred Turner song, from this same album.

[@davidmacgregor5193]

"Welcome Home" has a heavy BTO guitar riff and it ends with a jazz fused instrumental, it is on their second album BTO II. "Flat Broke Love" is another heavy track that hasn't been mentioned, it is on BTO's fourth album Four Wheel Drive. BTO were originally a country rock band called Brave Belt, the first Brave Belt line up in 1971 was a trio consisting of, Randy Bachman, Chad Allen and Robbie Bachman, the final Brave Belt line up in early 1973 was Randy Bachman, Fred Turner, Tim Bachman and Robbie Bachman. Brave Belt released two albums, Brave Belt (1971) and Brave Belt II (1972), both were released on Reprise Records. Their proposed 1973 album was due to be called Brave Belt III, but after Randy signed a new recording contract with Charlie Fach at Mercury Records and a new name to reflect the bands heavier rock style, the 1973 album was called Bachman-Turner Overdrive. They took the Overdrive bit from the title of a Canadian truckers magazine.

[@brianseccomb6731]

Whole "Not Fragile" album kicks ass do the whole dam thing!

[@macdaddyns]

Check out their live version from 2011 at the Roseland Ballroom. For another great band and song from from Canada -actually two great bands on this track Max Webster and Rush doing Max Webster's "BattleScar"

[@realbser1956]

I don’t know BTO’s non radio hits as I never followed them that much but this song was a banger. Great choice Lance. 🔥

[@markcosenza3274]

I remember going out and buying that on 8 track when it was released, it was a unique sound.

[@socratesrising]

This is the last CD I bought. Filling in holes in my collection. The Red Tape Album from ARS was the one before it. Another lost classic. Robin Trower Bridge of Sighs is another must listen. Back when it was normal for every song on an album to be good. What a time...

[@IusedtohaveausernameIliked]

My favourite BTO album. Apparently it was done in response to Yes' Fragile album (which I also like BTW, but it's meant to be not that). Do Sledgehammer, that's the best cut from the album.

[@zzyzxx13]

"Not Fragile... ha, ha, ha!" Just so you know... the name of the album was a direct jab at YES' album title "Fragile" which featured a bunch of candy-ass prog music. BTO's music was the exact opposite, hence the album title "Not Fragile". And now you know something. I loved this band in the mid-70's, and still love their music today. Glad you liked the song, too. Another great song I would recoomend you check out is a great Bluesy number called "Blue Collar" from BTO I. Also, two more rockers from that same album are "Stayed Awake All Night" and "Don't Get Yourself In Trouble". Enjoy!

[@jeffreyflint6286]

Listen to four wheel drive. My favourite song by them is Second Hand. Killer guitar solo. I promise you'll love it!!!!!!

[@jamisonhicks5828]

Same album sledgehammer fantastic. Great album start to finish

[@fredbear1938]

The whole album is great.

[@Thesaurcery4U2C]

This song is so fkn HEAVY.

[@richard53100]

Awesome song, I keep trying to get our band to try to play it.

[@carlomercorio1250]

Mahogany Rush, Rush, BTO, April Wine - all Canucks

[@aaronstandingbear]

I grew up through the 50s 60s and 70s on this vast spectrum of music that came out of the romantic feelings of the baby boomers , most concieved after victorious warriors returned home from WW2 and put a lot of bread in the oven. We all came of age through those times running on pheremones and testosterone. Now I'm 75 and the old spark aint so bright but that generation created the best music ever in history. BTOs best IMO was 'Blue Collar', the original should be first and then the one at the 'Roseland Ballroom' when they are alot older but just as hot and amazing as ever

[@michaeltaylor8835]

Such a kick ass song

[@cletushouse906]

Been a minute since I heard this one. Love it.

[@leonardk80]

All of your pops are happy that you, young people reintroduced this song! Believe me, this song is about 50 years old and at that time, no band played this much heavy duty song like BTO. And best of all, the sound is not so old, isn't it!?

[@holtless]

Yes put out the Fragile album and this was BTOs' reply. 😁

[@glennmccudden8574]

It was there master piece. Great songs. Nothing crappy About the album. For 1974. Mercury records. BACHMAN WAS IN THE GUESS WHO. YOU KNOW AMERICAN WOMAN. CHEERS

[@texadan314]

From the album of the same name. Which I had on 8-track and then cassette and then cd and now on my phone.

[@jackiebryant5808]

Don't forget the reel to reel!!!!

[@craigslue]

My fav BTO song and album. Awesome album with many great songs. Checkout Blue Moanin, Sledgehammer, Rock is my life. Hell checkout the entire album even the instrumental is good! Nobody can belt out lyrics like Fred Turner. IMHO they even do the best House of the Rising Sun version. Also check out Triumph also from Canada. Rik may be the best lead guitarist/singer combo ever. Certainly among the best.

[@johntatman8182]

Man you just scratched the surface of BTO they are timeless

[@jessiebutler627]

The live version is great! I've got a great one for you. BTO Welcome home! Been a fan since they came up together!

BTO was one of my favorite bands besides April Wine growing up.

[@greenbeatsred]

I knew that BTO was from The Guess Who out of Canada. They had a lot of hit songs. One of my favorites is "Blue Collar" but I don't remember this song. I'm loving it though.

It was always worth the price of admission to their concerts just to watch the teeny boppers who were there for You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet, or Takin' Care Of Business when they ripped this, as they just sat there in total cluelessness.

What was left of The Guess Who after lead singer Burton Cummings left the band

[@jethro1963]

There seems to be a lot of confusion by people over the connection between BTO and The Guess Who. Only Randy Bachman left TGW to form a group that eventually became Brave Belt and then BTO. Burton stayed with TGW long after Randy had left (five years). Bachman was the only member of both TGW and BTO.

[@jethro1963]

Ironically Chad Allan, who was a member of Chad Allan and The Expressions which morphed into The Guess Who and Brave Belt which morphed into BTO had left both bands before they had achieved greater fame. He did sing lead with Brave Belt on a song called Dunrobin's Gone which received considerable radio airplay.

[@LivingInTheKaliYogurt]

Glad I watched this. Only BTO I knew before was "Taking Care of Business" which imo is one of the crappiest, most obnoxious examples of "boomer rock" of all-time. Maybe bc they overplayed that song on "classic rock" radio when I was growing up & never played anything else from this band. But this song was solid, not a hint of cheese here at all.
