Randy Bachman on George Stroumboulopoulos Tonight: EXTENDED INTERVIEW 

One of the most enjoyable interviews I've seen with a musician. No hype and not full of himself. It's a shame we don't have ones like this anymore.

I'm reading Randy's book about halfway finished. What an honest, humble man! I never realized how important he is to the history of rock and roll! Thanks Randy !!

Randy. World class talent, and such a humble amazing human being.

I never get tired of listening to Randy. He’s amazing! What a personality.

BTO should be in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame & really deserve it for their mesmerizing excellence.

Guess Who is probably the most underated band of all time.

Best interview! Randy, Burton, Fred, and the others from that era put Canada on the rock and roll map.

I'm a huge Guess Who fan, not that big a fan of BTO, but Randy Bachman's a classy guy.

Its good too see Randy Bachman i,m from the England and l grown up with B.T.O they have always been one of my Favorite groups

It's nice to see an interviewer that does his homework. Great job George!

WOW, I could have gone on listening for Hours, Being a musician , I can Somehow relate to some of the stories he brought up about touring, he has so many interesting tales about his musical experiences, Hats off to Mr.Randy Bachman

I had the upmost pure pleasure I seeing Mr. Randy Bachman at the CNE recently....... Blow your mind..... Love him, would love to meet him.. I was listening to BTO in early seventies....he's only getting better⭕️❌⭕️❌⭕️❌

Totally awesome interview...Again a humble Canuck whoes' bands deserves to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame . These guys kicked ass all over the world...

I love Randy's guitar playing. It's cool to see that he is also a nice guy. Now I want to read his book!

What a great interview. Loved it. What a sweetheart Randy is.

this guy is one of my hero's. just a great guitar player, a great person.

What a great interview! George S is dialed in, Randy is so humble and conversational - and the Les Paul story @17:30 is FIRE!!!! Thanks so much for posting this!

What a great guy and guitarist. I like guitar players that do not get in the way of the song. Randy is that kind of player. Every note matters

THE GUESS WHO! All the way! Much more colorful and Burton on vocals can`t be beat.

Yes The Guess Who And BTO should be put into The RocknRoll Hall of fame what american doesn't know the songs of these two great great bands !

Randy is easily in my top 10 of all time. He also seems like a great guy

You are awesome, Randy. I took my 12 year old son to a concert w/you and BOC at Stone Mtn., GA. We so connected there and he's now a father 3 X over. I want to take my grandkids to a BTO concert. Granny still rocks!

What a fantastic interview! That was the fastest 31 minutes ever. Both men managed to bring out the best in each other.

I could listen to Randy all day and then some :)

Love this man. What a great storyteller and musician. BTO is a very underrated band. Great songs, most of which you would never hear on the radio. Not Fragile is still great to listen to, 40 years later.

I could have listened to Randy for a week, telling his stories!!! Canada is Proud of you Randy, and we love you and your bands you gave been in!!!

DICKERED IN HAMILTON RIGHT NOW LOVE THIS MAN I LIVED THROUGH THE SEVENTIES A DECADE LIKE NO OTHER!!!! RANDY YOU ARE MY HERO A GOD AMONG MEN A BALLAD FOR BACHMAN CHEVY IMPALA

Happy 75th Birthday Randy Bachman

Wat a hell of.a guitar player very underrated

Around the 24:00 and the 27:00 minute mark, when Randy's talking about drugs, I now get the line from "Rock Is My Life and This Is My Song" from "Not Fragile" - "It's a cryin' shame that some of us have not survived. No use in askin' how it happened, but very few are left alive". It only took me 44 years.

Thank God for people like Randy!

Absolutely spectacular interview!!!

Music Icon. I'm a Florida kid that was introduced to BTO in 75'. Researched his career and found about the rest. Love that music

Bachman is still BEAST!!!!! LOVE Randy Bachman!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Randy Bachman seems to be a very likable straightforward guy. Love to have him for a friend.

FANTASTIC I LOVE RANDY

I used to steal my brothers cassette copy of Not Fragile back in 74 when i was 8 and 9 and listen to it on a crappy little black cassette player. I loved all the songs and played them over and over. BTO is from my town. I feel a certain connection to their music. You ain't seen nothing yet is one of my favourites.

Gee Randy's past 70 & aged well.

Randy is the man !

Love those Canucks! I'm one too! Love Randy and all his work. The Guess Who was a GREAT band.

I'm a 1960s kid .Grew up in Garden City right next door to Bannatyne and the north end of winnipeg. Absolutely love this interview and Randy and the Guess Who and the other bands. Love the talk of all the musicians Randy mentions.. I purposely drive thru kildonan park playing the guess who hoping to stumble across my Rock Heroes and say.... Hi. Rock on. Memories are precious. CHEERS ROCKERS FROM WINNIPEG!

Canada loves you, Randy

Great Interview, God so many questions to ask a guy like that.

What a fabulous interview!! Please have Randy back on your show soon as he's incredibly interesting and he has such enjoyable, informative and educational stories. Love your program George (and you of course) and loooove Randy-a win win formula. (Bravo!)

I was lucky enough to see BTO on 2 occasions....awesome shows. I appreciate The Guess Who , but BTO was my style of music

Randy Bachman-BTO rock band of rock bands man ❣❣love love love BTO. At any venue BTO comes on and the place is jumpin! It is sad that the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame has let you down, but you live in the hearts of people all over. Especially in the hearts of 🇨🇦 Canadians 🇨🇦 and we have some great rock bands. BTO is legendary. My son, (singer) hated rock and then he heard 70's rock, he had a change of heart. Then he heard BTO and was sold. I'm glad you sobered up and left The Guess Who. Sucks that they persecuted you, but you are better for it. Love your music, you're awesome

nice interview, both people.

I FIRST HEARD BTO AT 15YRS OLD STILL ONE OF MY ALL TIME FAVORITE BANDS . RANDY HAS HUGE TALENT BUT IS AMAZINGLY HUMBLE

Randy Bachman is a real class guy.

Hey thanks so much for posting this interview

Love Randy. Great interview.

Absolutely amazing!

American Woman/Takin Care of Business are two that comes to mind.

Wow... great interview. Randy seems like a wonderful person!

The guy interviewing is good. I stumbled onto this interview. Well done.

Fantastic!

I’ve been listening to the most recent live BTO on RU-vid,, I think they sound better that ever,,, not fragile is incredible,, I’ve played it over and over again ten times in a row.... then others,,sledgehammer,, all of them.. it’s fantastic

I had Never heard of this Interviewer but Now I think I will be up all Night watching his show. I just watched this intervew with one of my Guitar Heroes,.. RANDY BACHMAN,. and t was SUCH an insightful, Humorous, Captivating Interview. He asked ALL the Rght Questions and if you are a Guitarist, Musician, or Fan of Musicians or songwriters,.. you may find this fascinating. If you don't ,.. Sorry, but I did. Thanks George for such a fun Interview!!

Great interview....thank you.

Classy guy!!

What a great interview.Awesome stories Mr.Bachman.Major props to you sir.

Love this man and his music. ❤

What a great interview. The Les Paul stuff is priceless. Wow.

I probably would not have listened to Lenny Breau if not for Randy Bachman. Truly, an amazing talent. The two of them.

"Takin' Care of Business" is one of those iconic songs that comes along once every millennium. He's right about "TCOB". I've played that song in bands forever and all you have to do is start it and the dance floor packs. Randy Bachman is guitar legend.

Love the Les Paul story! Wonderful!

perfect gentIeman!

wonderful!

I have come to the conclusion that the R&R Hall of Fame is just one man's and one small group's ego trip. When they induct newer bands that have maybe done 1/10th of what other WELL established musicians have done.......it speaks of EGO and nothing else. This guy is such a wonderful person who is also a old time musical genius. Randy Bachman is among a huge group of performers who literally changed the world and by doing so changed my life. Bless them all. ( I tell everyone I meet- screw the R&R Hall of Fame, never go there.)

Great interview. And a Frank Zappa reference. No drugs , no booze. Nice one Randy.

BTO was always in rotation during the 70s here in Florida

I saw BTO at an AMWAY function of all places and they were awesome.

I was at the SARS fest along with a few friends from Cortland/Ithaca, NY. Such a great memory

Kool🎸《☆》Randy's a fine example for todays up & coming Rockers🙏🏻I've always heard Bachman pronounced like Bach not Back👍🏾😁🤳

Good interview !

He has a huge guitar collection this Canadian rocker!

I remember when I was a teenager growing up in the 70's and I worked at this Newspaper agency. We used to put the inserts in papers. The job was called "stuffing" the papers. Anyway we had to get picked up by this guy at something like 3am. He would take us to the Agency to suff papers. The guy who picked us up looked like Randy Bachman to me and we always went nuts in the van if a BTO song came on the radio while we were on our way to the agency. This was all during the time BTO was just becoming famous. Takin Care of Business was our theme. When they followed it up with Roll on Down the Highway we just went crazy. For whatever the reason, BTO was the #1 band for us, and we couldn't get enough of them. This was huge because I grew up in a family where my father played guitar in a Country band. I think this was our sign that we were true rock and roll fans. My Brother played in a band that played top 40 type music, which was okay but sometimes they would get requests for jazz type songs which was fine but I like the more aggressive rock songs.

WOW ! WOW !!

Great Interview!

Randy is AWESOME!!!

"Is this my interjection?" He meant intervention of course but he's so adorable, Randy Bachman is. I think Jimmy Page, Angus Young, and so many other musicians should take notes from Randy's interviews...

What a great musician and Canadian. Winnipeg Rock Star.

A lot of admiration for him, as a great musician who rocked me out in my early teens, but who avoided the drink/drug lifestyle and is therefore still clear and clean despite maybe having more than his share of cheeseburgers, but he took measures to drop weight and try to get healthy. A lot of rockers would be dead by now but he's still articulate and lucid and enthusiastic. Also, as per interviews like this he has a bunch of great tales to tell, but with a healthy sense of humility.

I never realized just how prolific Randy Bachman is. O , I was around back in the days of Guess Who, And BTO, never a real huge fan of either, but just watched the BTO documentary, and man. I never realized they were that HUGE> Gotta admire Randy Bachman, he still sounds like a young man. That's what taking care of yourself does for you. Cool Guy.

Love Mr. Randy Bachman.

what a nice guy !

Great musician. Open and honest 😎

Not fragile is the best album ever

Russ Jackson, Ottawa Rough Rider QB, beat the Bluebombers, went out to a bar in Winnipeg to celebrate and heard the Guess Who. He got talking to them and asked if they would come to Ottawa. They said yes, and found out later Jackson was the Vice Principal at Sir John A. Macdonald high school! They played a show, (that I got in trouble for sneaking out to) at the school. Never took a better punishment in my life! It was worth every second of being grounded.

Yes A real nice guy ,met him once at the Brickyard book signing .

Randy is a great guitar player. Has written alot great songs that influence culture/people still todsy

A true Rock´n´Roller. Old Chimbo enjoyed this.

This is about Randy!

The Les Paul story of Mr Bachman is priceless !....at 17:25 in.....

I had no idea they were from Canada. All I knew was they are friken great

How's that Les Paul story - an era past now - fabulous

Best music ever!

Wonderful Les Paul/Mary Ford story!

B.T.O. And The Guess Who are too good for the Rock and roll H.O.F. The Moody Blues will never be inducted but the rap band N.W.A. Are in!

Talkin' care o' business!
