RIP Robbie, as always as in this song, Robbie was the Powerplant, allowing Randy to cut magic, and Fred to growl out the lyrics powerfully as Robbie always matched his intensity.

[@normankennith7919]

SSSSSSSSCCCCCCHHHHHHHHHMMMMMMMOOOOOKKKKKKIIIINNNNN'!!!!

[@RicoBurghFan]

As a kid, I never even paid attention to the lyrics, it was just a banging air guitar jam. I don't remember me and my friends sitting around the cafeteria discussing the nuances of "roll" 😂😂😂

[@Derideo]

I know right? 🤣

[@pjimmbojimmbo1990]

I rarely understand what is being sang, unless I have the Lyrics in front of me.

[@blindriv3r]

Yeah, 'Let's roll' just means let's go.....unfortunately, after 9/11 that was changed

[@donaldwhitt689]

They didn't put lyrics on 8tracks and cassettes and only a few albums in the early years. You had to be a real fanatic to know the lyrics or what they meant. We just rocked out to the whole sound.

[@RogerWyatt365]

I've listened to this song FOREVER, and other than the chorus, I never knew what they were singing - and, frankly, I didn't care. It was a guitar jam - end of story.

[@scottstewart5784]

The wheels are what's rolling when they say let it roll. They were driving a semi - said so at the beginning of the song, so there's a lot of wheels rolling on down the highway. When you're driving, time equals money.

[@supertrexandroidx]

Ha ha, yeah, they might have over-analyzed it a bit too much. Brad finally did nail it, though, with "it's just a figure of speech." ;)

[@resin_Hd]

Brad had it. “Rolling” was a slang I guess in the 60’s/70’s for cruising. It’s the story of a band that isn’t big enuff yet to have a big crew. So after they finished playing they loaded up the truck and headed to the next city. They wanted to get there fast as possible but also avoid getting pulled over by the PD.

[@aaronarnold7653]

ROLL ON Ronnie...RIP...Canada Rocks...

[@1967PONTIACGTO]

RIP Robbie Bachman... he was a great drummer in a great band

[@77tml]

BTO is such an iconic band almost all their songs could be sampled or in a commercial their lyrics and riffs never die.

[@larryunsworth9573]

On my first date with my future wife of 46 years I had BTO in my 8 track player held in place with a pack of matches and we rocked all night listening to the great sound! Aah great memories!

[@timpence6887]

I remember those days

[@owenwadleigh4]

Not everything is a drug reference. they were on the road rolling on to the next gig. Great song just don't over think "Rolling". This song used to get people on the dance floor. Wish you guys could go in a time machine to the 80's and experience the concerts and the way life was much better back then.

[@guichogf5636]

RIP Robbie. My uncle was a semi driver that liked country music. When I was 16 I gave him the Not Fragile album for his birthday and he was hooked. This song according to him was one of the best semi driving songs ever made. I bought this album for myself when it came out, and it's still as great today as it was back then.

[@rebeccalipps23]

I used to navigate for my ex driving OTR. I can agree that it is a good semi-truck-driving song.

[@bumbleandprincess]

Hey there guicho gf ............Much Aroha (Love and respect)_ to you and your uncle You are so right....................for me BTO was the greatest Canadian band of all time. They were down to earth, loud, genuine and played 'old school' music in a way that i miss so much. I remember the days, i used to just hop in the car, windows down, destination unknown and just play their music................ Roll on down the highway, You ain't seen nothing yet, taking care of business etc etc Days never to be forgotten. Much respect., Big Jim New Zealand.

[@rghilino6734]

This song is pure rock and riffs and rolling. The power of BTO on display.

[@thorsden5562]

I was a teenager living in the Outer Banks (Hatteras) back in the early to mid 70's. We couldn't get albums unless we traveled to Elizabeth City which is approx 120 miles away. We had friends get them for us when they travelled that way. This album was one that we were lucky enough to get. We played it constantly. Drove my parents nuts. Wow- how times have changed. Now this old man just loads it on the smart phone.😀

[@markdicesare7936]

BTO at their best!!! Love this song, especially the line "I'd like to have a jet but it's not in the song"

[@johngambrel2953]

They were singing that line as I read your comment.

[@davejennings9460]

Definitely a classic!

[@incensejunkie7516]

Check out their song Blue Collar. These rockers can do amazing jazz, and thoughtful lyrics. It routinely gets overlooked but it truly shows the calibre of musicianship we're dealing with here, and is their masterpiece imo. RIP drummer Robbie Bachman...69 is way too young...

[@tomgeorge7281]

Randy learned to play jazz when he was young. He had a good friend named Lenny Breaux who taught him jazz chords. Randy put a jazz song on every BTO album. It confused us rocker fans. 8-)

[@tylerhackner9731]

Love this song

[@patswanson2870]

Robbie Bachman was the drummer for BTO. He passed away at age 69 on Jan. 12, 2023. His brother Randy is the lead guitarist and sometimes lead singer. The singer on this song is Fred Turner.

[@erikthompson619]

Singer and bassist - don't forget that last part, it is very important 🙂

[@FixNewsPlease]

I bought their album the day is was released here in Canada. Legend. RIP

[@jemogan]

@@erikthompson619 And one of the very best voices in rock and roll.

[@quincee3376]

Who sang You Ain't Seen Nothin Yet?

[@CRabbit42]

I've listened to this song hundreds of times over the years and I never could make out the line "I'd like to have a jet but it's not in the song." Tonight, I learned. And laughed! And then right after this gem of a line, y'all get into a discussion about the word "roll," which I thought was kinda weird. Here's the deal on that: A wheel cannot roll by itself.

[@christianmattison6096]

I was in college when BTO hit the airwaves like a Bomb! Just hard crankin' Rock-n-Roll. They were an instant classic!

[@reality1958]

BTO was my first concert ever as a teenager. During the concert Robbie Bachman literally got up and walked around the drum set while continuing to play the song! Cool!

[@bizjetfixr8352]

Saw BTO in 1974 when they were touring after "Not Fragile" was released. The "warm up" band? ELO, touring for "Face to Music". Opened with "Fire on High/Poker" Hows that for a show?

[@MrDstocum]

BTO was a band that brought reverence to the truck driving profession! There was a trucker magazine in the 70s called Overdrive, and if not mistaken their name was a nod to that magazine.

[@rubentullenaar2934]

RIP Robbie Bachman 🙏🏻

[@jaquestraw1]

The rolling conversation cracked me up! 😄

[@MarkLindsayCNC]

Are we not going to address "Rollin' On The River?" Hehehehehehehe

[@surlechapeau]

Brad & Lex, you'll love their "Hey You"!!

[@danroth3514]

Agreed. IMO, a much better song than Roll Down The Highway.

[@traci4187]

Wheels roll down the highway. Translation complete. Killer rock-anthem song!!!

[@thomashorton5715]

I love this song

[@TheTussman]

I believe it more if your name was Tim Horton

[@jameshorton7496]

@@TheTussman , hey, don't knock the Hortons. Lol.

[@garyleesjukejoint9510]

Great song! Always rocked it a few times traveling from northern Michigan to the south. Cool reaction 😎👍

[@aarongoldstein7614]

Before they were known as BTO, the band was called Brave Belt. Randy Bachman started Brave Belt with younger brother Robbie after he left The Guess Who along with original Guess Who lead singer Chad Allan. Later, Tim Bachman and C. Fred Turner would join the band. Brave Belt originally started as a country-rock outfit with Allan on lead vocal but evolved to the hard rock direction with Turner on lead vocal that would presage BTO's sound. Robbie Bachman's most significant contribution to Brave Belt aside from his drumming was co-writing the song "Summer Soldier".

[@Charley613]

R.I.P. Robbie Bachman. Great drummer!

[@HotItalian1]

Role and Roll maybe we need a third Roll. BTO never gets old. Excellent as always you two.

[@clare1061]

Love it when Lex rocks out with a big smile to stuff from my high school days.

[@crvnmrhd]

When this song came out there was a huge following of everything to do with trucking. Movies, TV shows, music etc.

[@johnfrancis1528]

Can you imagine a rock band putting out a song that made it to #1 in 22 countries? BTO did that. An underrated band for sure.

[@Telly03]

Funny how words or terms can have their meaning lost or changed over decades… it was easy to understand that “rolling down the highway” meant easily cruising down the road, with an emphasis on getting where you need to go.

[@toddstevens13]

We Gotta Roll, back in the day of this song, meant we have got to get going. So Roll=Going, as in this case, Gotta Roll to our next GIG. Basically the band is lost trying to first find the right town, then the right location.

[@FUBAR1986]

B.T.O. was such a pleasant alternative to some of the other rocks. It was out there at the time.

[@4tuneagent]

Great that you guys reacted to this 70's Rocker! Much appreciated.. The band UFO has an excellent, high energy Rock tune called "Let It Roll".. from the mid 70's..

[@xburkbx]

The four wheels are rollin!

[@joesmith8725]

Doubt it's about drugs lol. Most likely a trucker, worker type song. Motivation type song. Been on lots of commercials, TV shows, movies, etc too. Lot of BTO songs are like this. "Taking Care of Business" is another great one from them. As well as "Let It Ride" and "You Aint Seen Nothing Yet', etc. Songs from the '70s and '80s. Bachman son and nephew, Tal also had songs during the late '90s and '00s. Such as "She's So High", "If You Sleep", "Aeroplane", etc.

[@pantherman16]

"Times real short, you know the distance is long. I'd like to have a jet, but it's not in the song." One of the best, breaking-the-fourth-wall lyrics ever written. RIP Robbie. BTW, they are in a truck (climb back in the cab). Part of the Smoky and the Bandit generation of trucking, illegal transporting, CB's, and the po-lice that are chasing them.

[@pebblehilllane]

The song is about the band driving down the highway and being excited about making money and being successful along with the pitfalls or problems that may go along with it, like tickets or maybe being busted for pot or something if pulled over. It's as simple as 1, 2, 3.

[@tomaroni6670]

..."Class of 76"...All vehicles Roll down the highway unless they are on snow ski's...then they are sliding on down the hill..of course if they were on a lake they would be skimming on down the lake but they aren't...they are on a highway and their car has wheels so they are rolling on down the highway...RIP Robbie...Luv your music always!

[@2Quietus]

Saw them in concert with Cheap Trick back in '92. Was one hell of a good time!!

[@michaelhalir6815]

🇨🇦 Canada proud!

[@billc.5861]

Hahaha ! Rolling down the highway is about driving/ rolling/ let it roll. As Todd Stevens says below me Robbie was a good solid drummer, in the pocket , good time keeper. Never busy but used tasteful fills Thanks

[@ALD56]

Blue collar rock n roll. Loved these guys. Really need to check out their song Stonegates. It wasn't a hit, but it IS a banger with some serious picking on the outro.

[@JoeBlow_4]

RIP Robbie. We all had this album.

[@Brandi6666]

They def kicked ass 🤘❤️

[@thetravenousgamer]

One of the ultimate highway songs

[@debbieplato5107]

Great song from my hometown boys from Winnipeg, Canada and the drummer Robbie Bachman just passed away at the age of 69.

[@atomicpunk520]

Love this song Wheels roll so let it roll and prolly rollin a lefty

[@clare1061]

This group was always on my dad’s turntable. We did some serious rocking out in my early days. What a beautiful thing.

[@tannonwraith4692]

The term "rolling" is a colloquialism used to describe one's moving on, moving forward, leaving a destination or traveling to a destination, though it also has a multitude of other connotations. Example; " let's get rolling" or " let's roll". Meaning; let's leave. You had to be there..

[@csedrivers2850]

This song freakin rocks, man. 😎

[@NigelIncubatorJones]

They let it roll. They also have a song called "Let it Ride".

[@otisopse7808]

Ya CRANK IT UP.🎸🎤

[@Smedley61]

Incidentally, in reference to the possibility of the song having a drug connotation, I believe that the members of the band did not do drugs. In fact, I remember Randy Bachman saying part of the reason he left the Guess Who (amicably) when they were peaking was because he didn't like being around the drug scene. Also believe he's Mormon.

[@rjh862]

Dang ain't yall heard the term let's roll? Like it means hit the road... Let's get going... Let's roll... I mean when you say let's bounce you don't mean you really bounced means the same thing as let's roll LOL 😂 and that's your lesson today from the old guy.

[@lgwappo]

BTO was my first concert about 50 years ago. Stadium was packed, great show.

[@floorticket]

Well now you need to do The Doobie Brothers: "Rockin' Down the Highway"

[@m.r.t9298]

Hey you two,don't hurt yourselves trying to figure out 70's vernacular, you'd just have to be there. ✌️

[@donrogers1337]

You are over thinking it. It is just a Rock & Roll song, and a great one at that.

[@crzyasylm8340]

back when i was younger and the ladies were disco..this was rock n roll..i lived thru it...ast when driving is abacab

[@mikevandenboom5958]

Roll'n is just keeping the wheels turning As the line said. You gotta keep driving if you want to make a buck. ie; Getting to the next Gig.

[@ZenWithKen]

Rolling in the deep, rolling in the hay, rolling a joint, lets ROLL! Where that baby at?

[@hardboiledharry4061]

Blue collar to the extreme, Randy Bachman was a member of The Guess Who, I wish I had 1% of that guttural growl that Fred Turner has, for a few years they were kings, check out Let It Ride.

[@obsidianogre2576]

Lets roll = lets go!

[@NeverGiddy]

BTO was a great band. This song has a lot of energy and was a big hit on FM radio back when I was alive. I thank them for the minutes/hours/years of enjoyment they provided me. Writing great music ain't as easy as fishin'.

[@nathanlambert6363]

The wheels are rolling. Wasp- charisma Project wyze- room to breathe Chaoseum- smile again Jesse reyes- figures

[@peccatumDei]

Oh yeah, my all time favorite song from BTO! When I or ANY of my friends were behind the wheel when this song came on, it was automatic pedal to the metal time.

[@victorplekter613]

Nice reaction. back in the day driving with a purpose was rollin'. "let's get rolling" or "I'm going to roll up on out of here." Love your channel!

[@stevegardenhire5698]

Good ol 70s rock jam

[@paulym9969]

My older brother had this 8-track tape used to listen to it a lot while cruising around and of course racing sometimes in his 69 Chevelle , I got to see BTO open up for Van Halen back in the 80s I was 17 that summer

[@cptlou]

Kudos Brad and Lex for playing lesser known and deep cuts. As well as hits. You have the best radio stream.

[@johnedieter739]

This band was Huge and Iconic.... Randy is still a presence in the media. Deep cut for sure and a banger. RIP Robbie.

[@scrambler69-xk3kv]

I don't remember trying to figure songs out back in the day when they were new. Maybe because most or the time we were stoned. Now we are senior citizens and still enjoy those same songs as much as we did back then. And we are no longer high.

[@travellingwithjeff]

Great job you guys, another great Canadian band i grew up with in my youth.....thanks

[@dii6266]

I heard from a trucker once that it's called Georgia Overdrive when you drop it in neutral on the long downhill. I think.

[@jemogan]

This is different. It's often Brad whose comments are so off target you wonder why he's thinking that. This time it's Lex. Bitchin' song about bein' in a hurry driving down the freeway, something which I guess Lex has never experienced as a fun thing to do. Always loved this song.

[@roydavis5222]

Two brothers in this band Robby and Randy Bachman. Randy played with The Guess Who (American Woman) before BTO. The original lineup consisted of Randy Bachman (lead guitar, lead vocals), Fred Turner (bass guitar, lead vocals), Tim Bachman (guitar, vocals) and Robbie Bachman (drums). This lineup released two albums in 1973. The second and most commercially successful lineup featured Blair Thornton (lead guitar), in place of Tim Bachman. This lineup released four albums between 1974 and 1977, including two that reached the top 5 in the U.S. pop charts, as well as the band's only U.S. No. 1 single ("You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet"). Subsequent lineups enjoyed only moderate success.

In my years as a truck driver, I would have this cranked up on the stereo, key up my cb radio and get back a bunch of air horns going off.

[@bizjetfixr8352]

Everybody who heard this song back in the 70s knew what "roll" meant. Nothing "passive" about it. And yeah, this song generated millions of speeding tickets This song playing on the radio + Dodge 340/4 speed + Interstate highway + heavy right foot = Best time of my life. It's pretty much been all downhill since.

I, in my '68 Charger, would develop lead foot every time this song came on the radio.😅

When you stop the song in the middle. Then talked about "the meaning of roll". I think somebody "rolled" something before they recorded this. Luv Yinz.

[@Ames2pleaze1]

Brad mentioned how many speeding tickets?... For me at least, my right foot got heavy while listening to this song, and I must admit, it still dose! I'm 60, and music ("my taste in music") still triggers emotions, memories, & in certain situations, my personality & sometimes my actions upon hearing it. I enjoy watching your reactions to the music that I grew up with. Keep on, keeping on! Cheers!

[@alansmith7626]

if the wheels turn and the vehicle is on the ground, it is rolling! LOL Great react! Still funny! You know people in a lot of circumstances say, "let's roll" , like, get outta here...😁
