I wish these guys would come to town. Randy Bachman is very under appreciated.

I saw them in that incarnation (B&T) at Rockin' The Rivers last summer in Three Forks, MT. (Ace was on the same bill). They were on right after Ace. It was a nice balance between the two bands. Ace got my heart pumpin' with some nice loud rock and roll, and B&T were a joy to listen to. They brought me off smoothly. Ace was the cocaine, B&T was the alcohol so to speak.
"Let me tell you my story....I got a man-size predicament, and it's a big one...and it goes like this...yeah..."

Take a Gibson Les Paul, throw a DiMarzio Super Distortion in it, plug it into a Marshall amp and turn it up to 10. It's pretty much a no brainer!- Ace ****in' Frehley
I don't see why we have to go through all the bullshit of high school just to be musicians- Alex Lifeson
It doesn't matter how fast you can play or how many chords you know, if you can't play the blues, go the **** home you ain't worth nothin'- Richie Scarlet
Critics love Elvis Costello because they all look like him- David Lee Roth
Ace is God- Dimebag Darrell (RIP. 1966-2004)
Like is too strong a word...I don't really like anybody- Chris DeNicola (I love Road Rants)
You can keep the drugs, I'll take the sex and the rock n' roll- Paul Stanley
Thanks..I like to play...- Garth Algar (AKA Dana Carvey)

And most importantly....**** OFF ROCK AND ROLL HALL OF FAME! (Gene Simmons, Eddie Trunk, and anyone who matters)

Agreed. Also they are one of those bands with a catalog that goes deeper than the one or two hits for which they are known on classic rock radio. I could gladly go the rest of my life without hearing "Takin' Care of Business" again - but there are some gems hidden in their catalog of albums.

Haha, Randy's got plenty of it in the LP and Fred has it in his voice.

I saw The Guess Who in their last go around. I think it was 2006. They were phenomenal. They did a few BTO hits, including this one. They did it acoustic. Randy is a versatile player. He was childhood friends with Lenny Breau, if I have that right. His playing shows jazz influence at times. Undun is a beautiful song.

Randy Bachman has been a very positive influence when it comes to being able to fix my problem with "GAS" and trying to explain it to my wife :) . To explain what I mean he does a radio show in Canada on CBC.ca called Vinyl Tap. The show on September 11th 2010 was called Guitar anthology 101. My wife listened to it and had a lightbulb moment. This moment ended up with me getting my Gibson Les Paul for Christmas [thumbup].

So if you have not listened to this it is really really worth it ;) .Maybe podcast it and play it in the car on a drive with your significant other [smile] .

Scroll down to the Sept 11 2010

Fred Turner is hard core. I think something was wrong with the lights on the stage backdrop in the first video. Instead of BTO it said BO. :lol:

Some of Randy Bachman's fat "Les Paul" sounds were coming from his Fender Starcaster that he endorsed and played during the mid 70s to early 80s.The Starcaster had an unmistakeable humbucker tone but it was more lush and bass/mid oriented in overall sound,such as in "Blue Collar".I don't know for sure what songs he played which guitar on but "Blue Collar" has a real Starcaster tone to it.
