This guy is NOT in the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame. This is embarrassing IMHO. He and Burton Cummings should've been in a long, long time ago.

[@skipskiperton4992]

there are many in the same boat….makes no sense. RR hall of fame is strange and theres no accounting for how they do what they do

[@skipskiperton4992]

…..Boston, Kansas, America and so many more not in the rock and roll hall of fame

[@401xyz]

@@skipskiperton4992 There are reasons and they're not musical.

[@steveshattah]

Moe Tucker of The Velvet underground calls it the Rock and roll Hall of Lame

[@sega62s]

rock and roll hall of fame is a joke, If I was well known, I would refuse to go there, got better things to do then go there

[@joshuahyman3612]

One of the best interviews in rock n roll history. The EVH story is so personal and moving. Thanks for allowing Randy to speak uninterrupted. Rock historians need to watch this one.

[@paultynan8705]

YES And uninterrupted!

[@pay9011]

It really is. Randy was in the midst of it all and is a great storyteller.

[@BobBevard]

Outstanding!

[@impalaman9707]

For a guy whose nearly 80, Randy is so mentally sharp! I wonder what his secret is? Could it possibly that he never dig drugs and avoided groupies (or maybe groupies avoided him) unlike his 70s peers? Does he do crossword puzzles or trivia games? I can see him being that way when he's 100--he'll never get dementia!

[@tuberstitious]

It seems he writes songs...😅

[@lylesmith3506]

Randy is so down to earth. He is one of the few that you can listen to for hours and find every story interesting. Thanks for sharing with us. He is one of my guitar heroes.

[@gatekeeper65]

This ! This is what a real musician is ! This is why you become a musician, not for fame and fortune, but for the absolute love and joy of it. What an awesome guy.

[@TripleJDigs]

Randy has the most amazing story along with the other legends from Winnipeg. He might not be in the hall of fame but he built the foundation that it’s built on. He is rock and roll!

[@springboard8558]

This is by far one of the best interviews of Randy Bachman! I feel like I’m hanging out with my older guitar playing brother. Such a talent.

[@andyinoregon]

This full interview should be a permanent display at Cleveland's Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

[@tonygeberin82]

IM 60 GREW UP IN INDIANA USA I LOVE BACHMAN TURNER OVERDRIVE = I JUST NEW THESE MEN WERE SPECIAL BUT I HAD NO IDEA HOW SPECIAL I CRY FOR LOVE AND I HAD TO CRY A FEW TIMES WATCHING THIS WANDERFULL STORY ABOUT A VERY GREAT AND SPECIAL MAN AND AM VERY GLAD I GOT TO SEE THIS === THANK YOU VERY MUCH

[@uncletom618]

I’m 60yo now, been a musician since I was 10yo, and I must say John, like Gatekeeper65 said in the previous comment, THAT was the greatest rock and roll interview I have ever heard, “Bar None”! Kudos John!

[@darylhoskins5696]

Did the Guess Who ever get in the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame ? Which is an Farce Really no Grand Funk Railroad ,Ted Nugent , And Copious Amount Of Great Bands!

[@NickNicometi]

This is one of the greatest musician interviews EVER! I knew I liked Randy, but now I my respect him is even greater. A real musician, a really good man, with a phenomenal memory (glad he didn't ruin his brain and general health with drugs & alcohol like too many other rockers who aren't so YOUNG anymore. Agree w/Randy re Spotify. Randy's Guess Who faves are mine, as well! Got a feeling I may meet Randy one day soon (gotta practice my chops!🤘😀🎸)

[@lifesynctechnologies3209]

I was at work today listening to this interview ,, so much I never knew about Randy ,, he is Canadian rock royalty,, I'm not quick to tears and the last of this interview absolutely struck me to tears, very moving.

[@olddrummer1942]

I remember Randy from when he was playing with Miki Brown and the Velvetones, before he joined The Silvertones. The Silvertones started with Allan Kowbel and Jon Glowa, later adding Brian (Ducky) Donald, Bob Ashley, and Jim Kale. Ken Johnson and I were some what responsible for Bob Ashley and Jim Kale joining Allan and the Silvertones. I was the drummer in a band called The Esquires then and Ken Johnson and myself hired Neil Young to play with us along with Garry Reid. Ken, Bob Jim and I all worked at the Canadian Wheat Board at that time.

[@jayhenderson2683]

Then you must know my uncle Kenny Hordichuk. He was a drummer from the North end. He played wit Randy at an Army base outside of Winterpeg. It was a gig for black US soldiers who yelled out that they wanted jazz. Randy and Ken didn't know much jazz then, so they invited the soldiers to get their instruments and come up to jam with them. Ken lives in the South mainland BC now as well. He also knows and played with Burton and Neil. He was the drummer for The Shondells. (not Tommy James group)

[@markcarchedi915]

Randy is the ultimate storyteller. I would love a Fred Turner interview. Fred is genuine and a true gentleman. How does one submit a question before your interviews?

[@lukewarren7857]

Glad you're alive Randy Most my heros have passed I'm a former resident of Woodinville Wa

[@gediminasmurauskas7817]

Super fantastic interview! Thank you, John! Randy Bachman is an amazing and captivating storyteller! Listening to Randy is sheer joy. The Guess Who and BTO were a big part of my formative years growing up in Canada! And today Randy Bachman has many rich and fascinating rock-and-roll stories to tell, that cover all 6+ decades of my life! I can’t wait for the re-launch Vinyl Tap on March 6th!!!

[@kassandjohnbolles3522]

There is a video on Tubi of Randy Bachman telling the stories behind some of his songs. It is very entertaining and for me at least has a sweet nostalgia about it. I've watched it twice. I always thought the Guess Who was one of the better bands of the era.

[@jimbo91262]

Wow!! Who knew. Best hour and a half I've spent in a long time. Incredible and heartwarming stories where you hang on to every word. Bravo to you both!!

[@pedrogonzales9202]

This man is nearly 80 years old and in great shape, and very sharp!

[@jimmyupson1959]

John you are an awesome interviewer. You let Randy talk and tell his stories without interrupting him. You asked the right questions at the right time. You should have your own talk t.v. host show during primetime.

[@mikewhiteley641]

A master storyteller gives his best to a master interviewer. The piece on EVH is quite touching. Well done John. One of your best posts, for sure.

[@larrymeyer2917]

I’m South African, now live in Victoria where HIT No 2 by Guess Who was created. Never in my wildest dreams during the 70’s did I put Guess Who and BTO together, some of the music you just never forget and played today on Rock stations. The road for these guys has been rocky and long, only because they simply never turned off the Music road, fantastic..amazing story to hear. Randy & Burton have walked a long road together.

[@edwalter4425]

greatest interview I have ever heard, you rock Randy, holy cow, what a lwgwnd and genius

[@lucdion3363]

A lot of bitterness within the members of Bachman Turner Overdrive.....and it resurfaced in bits in the interview here...I had heard and read comments from the other members about Randy Bachman...it's actually the first time i hear from Randy's perception of what truly transpired...I appreciate his honesty in his replies...I agree with him that the first 3 albums were true gems..i have all their albums...and i certainly enjoyed his comments about all his albums....Best interview i have seen of randy bachman so far..thank you very much.

[@elduro5977]

Roll On Down The Highway always gets cranked when I’m in my car and in a good mood! I’ve liked BTO since I was like 7 lol and really enjoyed this video. Thanks

[@rbcroper]

Thank you for the great interview. Randy is a all time great. I have enjoyed Randy and his work for many years. He is a real class act and gentleman. Thank you Randy I have been a huge fan.

[@nmjazz09]

Saw BTO at the Iowa State Fair with Trooper and Heart about 1976. Who knew the connection to these bands. Although I did know Trooper came from Canada as well. Heart was in their prime as was BTO. It was everything a young musician could ever ask for in a concert. No frills. Just great music!!

[@dereckvon]

What a great guy Randy is.

[@edgaeta2001]

Just heard that Randy's brother had just passed away. I have always admired Randy's artistry. I was listening to a bunch of BTO music and I saw this interview come up. Personally being a retired Musician, disabled Can't feel my fingers anymore due to nerve damage Let alone walk.. I love listening to these old stories of where people came from And how they got to where they are. Days are growing shorter for all of us And as Myself these stories are all I have to lean on. My deepest sympathies and prayers go to BTO family, Friends and fans There will Never be another Like them. And yes we will all see each other again on the flip side.

[@rayross997]

Great comment, we will all play music together one day. Take care.🎸🎶🎶🎵

[@blazeeisner9620]

Brother John! Just finished ✅ listening 👂. What a terrific interview. Definitely brought back some great memories. Randy appears to be a very stand up guy. He certainly has a beautiful home 🏡 in BC. Looking forward to hearing more from him musically. Thank you again for a great interview. Have a great Tuesday. God bless.

[@thekeysman1]

Watched the whole interview, Excellent. I saw BTO in 1975? Pacific Coliseum, with Bob Seger as backup along with Charlie Daniels Band, BTO were no 1 in the world then. Saw Bachman Cummings in 2009?? at Red Robinson Theater, great show, I wish i could have see then Gues Who in their early days or the Mid 70s era, Loved hearing about the Seattle POp Festival, that would have been a cool show to see, such huge bands.

[@darylhoskins5696]

Saw BTO in 1980 with The Beach Boys Whom Opened when they were Intact and Black oak Arkansas was Great!!!

[@mikej70]

Great interview one of Canada's best musicians bto top 3 Canadian rock groups with rush and triumph

[@darylhoskins5696]

Agree on those 3!

[@michelbrassard4647]

What a wonderful interview. Thank you to the both of you for taking this fan down memory lane . The first album I ever purchased was the Guess Who 's Rocking in 1972.

[@RoadieShow]

Randy ROCKS!

[@johnmoher404]

Just an amazing interview … what a memory … and what a special human being and musician ❤️

[@mickb44]

[@randallburdette1830]

One of the greatest

[@hotfootproductions9783]

What a great interview!! Amazing!! Randy is amazing!!

[@georgejetson1379]

WOW!! I was glued to the screen and time stood still!.... LOVED THIS!!

[@ZenyattaFan1]

Randy has great stories!

[@donolbers9446]

It's great to listen to Randy tell any story, let alone all of these stories. Great job on the interview, that reminds me of Joe Chambers and his style if letting the musicians do the talking.

[@401xyz]

Good man, great music, merci!

[@bassball67]

Thanks for the post and thank you for just letting Randy talk. And for that long. Well done!

[@doogboy]

AMAZING!

[@ijeff2005]

Great interview. I very much enjoyed the entire 2 hours. Love the way Randy is so open about sharing stories from the past. All very interesting stuff for a music geek like myself.

[@BuddySRV]

John, fantastic interview. Now I love Randy more than I did before. Some great stories, some great insight and a few tears at the end.

[@morepeace9698]

Never knew till now....luv you Randy B.

[@johnhayford4258]

Great interview John, really enjoyed listening to Randy!

[@konaken1035]

Soundtrack of our life. Thank You Mr. Bachman! Great to hear history from the creator of so many tasty songs. You look great, sound concise, great vibe. The song, You aint seen nothing yet, takes me right back to a high school girlfriend that had long hair down to her ample ..shut your mouth...

[@401xyz]

Never knew they were all outta Winnipeg. Thanks for this great interview.

[@gatekeeper65]

I just finished listening to the whole interview, and I think that was the most amazing interview I've ever heard, bar none. I've always loved his music, but didn't really know the whole backstory. What a great guy, and wonderful stories. He gave you two hours because he felt the genuine interest and respect for his work. You're a top notch music journalist. A true professional whose passion comes through in these interviews. Thanks for such an amazing interview.

[@gregchervenak2602]

Awesome interview 👏

[@chasetower6773]

The story at the end floored me as well … Great Interview thanks again

[@redwineripple]

Fantastic

[@randyhammontree8874]

Awesome interview. You summed the EVH story perfectly. One of the most beautiful stories I’ve heard. Thank you.

[@TonysMusicChannel]

I agree with Randy about that moment at Sarstock (he's mistaken about the location tho, it was in Toronto, not Barrie ON) I remember the crowd was kinda subdued until the guess who came and TCB brought the crowd to its feet for the time that day!! I'll never forget it.

[@jolaynemichaud4377]

Thank you John.

[@puckgold4956]

One of your best interviews John. Thanks for the great stories Randy. Very interesting stories! My favorite was how you came up with the American Woman riff.

[@bluerfoot]

He has done some great stuff. Seems to be have a sizable ego with the smarts and cred to back it up. Smart guy obviously a perfectionist. Great interview.

[@ChicagoBeaver]

I saw The Guess Who/Joe Cocker at the Rose Garden, Portland, Oregon, 2005 with Special Guest Randy Bachman. So I heard Guess Who, BTO and Joe Cocker songs! I just absorbed it all and I could still remember the applause, the crowd, every song was a radio hit and I loved every second of it!

[@kaimajones3539]

I love 💕😘 you xxx... always

[@Del-Mondo]

I like Bachman.

[@chillbilly9964]

I once mixed Randy at a show at The Home Depot headquarters. Because of rain, the show was moved inside and had to start quickly. I ended up mixing his vocal through a Fender Bassman amp while he played through a Fender Vintage Twin. The show must go on!!!!

[@thisbusinessofmusic1276]

Theres always "just another new kid in town..." The song is everything.

[@CHUMPTYTRUMPTY]

"The song was written by Randy Bachman, starting off as "White Collar Worker,” an ode to his first band’s (Guess Who) sound technician who was blind but took the "8:15 into the city” every day. The song sounded so similar to The Beatles’ "Paperback Writer” that his band mates joked they were going to have to send the royalties to John, Paul and George. They suggested a rewrite.  Randy played it at a concert, subbing in "Takin’ Care of Business,” which he had heard on the radio as a DJ’s tagline, for "white collar worker,” and the crowd loved it. He then reworked the lyrics to make it a fun song about being in a band, and it was a hit.  There was a longtime myth that I bought into which claimed the piano part was played by a pizza delivery guy. Randy keeps that fable alive, but the truth was that a studio musician by the name of Norman Durkee was in an adjoining studio and was invited by the sound engineer to play piano on the song. Durkee only had a few minutes, so he wrote down the chords as provided by Randy on a pizza box. One take was all it took. Next time you hear the song, listen for the piano, it’s amazing." Kelly Burke

[@MrMike-fm8bp]

Randy is a complete genius

[@robertfournier7050]

Randy is a riot with his stories. I listen to him because of this stuff that is ,he should of been a comedian.

[@fourthtunz]

What a great interview! Randy, I’m sorry to hear about the passing of your brothers, Tim and Robbie. I’m glad to hear that you’re gonna keep on rocking though.

[@udo4accept]

amazing interview of one of my favorite songwriters of all time!! so many cool stories that i'd never heard before. i feel like i just lived one of those "if i could spend a day talking to..." moments. thank you very much.

[@claytonphelps9911]

I have become obsessed now with watching Randy interviews, after randomly watching a Documentary/show on Tubi "stories behind the songs". I literally have never been more moved by anything in my life, I've seen many many Rock bands and local bands, I've seen it all and heard most all of it from Johnny Winter to Van Halen to Kiss, Grand Funk etc. This guy is so down to earth and the music and songs he's written give me chills, and now knowing the story behind some of them is absolutely priceless. Thank You Randy for sharing your gift with the world. And oh, by the way, I'm overjoyed to hear about you getting your "baby" back, 1957 Gretsch , another wicked cool story. You must be an absolute blast to hang out with.

[@TwoSouls-productions]

That was a great frickin interview !!!!

[@PurpleHounding]

I couldn't miss a minute of this. Cool stuff. My partner managed the Kingsmen for over 20 years.

[@douglasrock9414]

Local Upstate NY Band , still playing.... now with my 26 yr old son. Used to do 'Take it Kike a Man.' And f*cking damn good, too. But all things BTO, all things the Guess Who, yeah !! Love YA Randy!!

[@jasondorris6408]

I believe I read Neil copped his best guitar chops in the mid.60s watching Randy up close at small venues around Canada...what else can you say about this amazing man plus musician....thank fine sir

[@LeeLucas]

What a truly AMAZING! interview with Randy here and I thoroughly enjoyed listening to him speak of his past and it certainly is a most interesting one at that. I have all of BTO's albums and have always loved their music since the 70's when they came out. Oddly enough it was only last year that I purchased the first two albums again with the original Quad mixes on an SACD and they sound amazing. The company responsible for releasing them are here in the UK where I am and are Vocalion and I am hoping that more Quad mixes pop up, especially the Not Fragile album.

[@robert-ix9pp]

I always was a fan of BTO , truly legends in Canadian rock & roll....love the music the sound the voice Fred turners rough , Randy's guitar lead Blair Thortons rhythm, Robbie pounding the drums( RIP) But I never knew how egotistical Randy was until listening to him in the interview.." I gave theses guys jobs , they wrote 1 & 1/2 songs I wrote 23 ! I produced, I financed," I I I to listen to him talk you'd think BTO was a one man band ...pretty sad to hear him talk like that .

[@Kimt33314]

Good interview John! Him getting his guitar back sounds like when Peter Frampton got his back.

[@ronaldknisley9792]

Absolutely awesome very well done way too cool

[@mikebottiaux5850]

Great interview, love Randy!

[@carguy99]

Great interview! Excellent!!

[@bluejayfan5584]

Pausing at 28 minutes gotta open another window and listen to BTO.

[@MRVISTA-wz7vj]

It was the Mardi Gras album w ccr that 💣💣💣💣💣💣 John wrote 3 songs and sang them and the other 2 wrote the other songs AND SANG THEM. The other fogerty brother had left by then. The album isn't seriously considered in the ccr Canon by ccr fans IMHO.

John: this longgg format interview is definately the key for my attention to watch your channel. I don't like it when you chop an interview up into short videos, but I assume there's reasons for that i don't understand. Anyways, Thanx for this one and for Randy's genius song-writing and tenacity.

[@douglasrock9414]

Randy.. holy f*ck! ... wow....just wow.... sorry.. double comment here but...this is crazy stuff...wonderful. thanx!

[@markgarin6355]

Thought he was going talk about the song 8 : 15. Since he knew Burton, you'd think he would enjoy a keyboard in his music. Great interview

[@christopherhebert9069]

If you know how to get ahold of Randy, ask him if he remembers dancing, singing and even between sets tipping one back in Louisiana back in 1986-1987ish about 10-20 miles outside of Fort Polk? I do remember and it was wonderful.

[@rayross997]

Does anyone know how Lenny Breau came to learn what he in turn taught Randy? Great interview, thanks gentlemen.

Would love to know where in Loveland Ohio he found the 57 Gretchen! I live in Mason Ohio which borders Loveland. Was it an individual or a store? I played in a cover band years ago and we played Taking care of business!
