'no time for the killin' floor' - always thought I was hearing that wrong...
I always assumed that he had to work at an abattoir...
Bachman had the rare achievement of recording chart-toppers with two different bands. Soundtrack of my life.
And my personal definition of when the 60s ended and became the 70s.
Guess Who ----> BTO
[Simpsons notwithstanding: We used to have a bus. In a way, the 60s ended the day we sold it—December 31st, 1969.]
There's a great version of American Woman on their Live at the Paramount album.

But no different from most other kids; excepting a bit more....worldly. So hearing this, or the Who's "Behind Blue Eye's," (I'll let you guess my eye color), always spins me back to those days. The world was a crazy place then with fears of nuke destruction and boomer rage at "the system and the man." But for all that it's not much different today, is it? So welcome the new boss; same as the old boss? And so it goes...

Funny that I never associated The Who and The Guess Who; they were so different, and the similarity of the band names was never thought as being strange back then. You managed to associate the two bands quite successfully! But thinking now, The Guess Who had a lot of balls calling themselves that. It's like calling yourself The Green Beatles or something. I remember hearing this song in my dad's car on the way somewhere in the West Island of Montreal where I lived. I must have been 9 or 10. The song blew me away and I remember parsing the lyrics in my head and being surprised they made sense. The word love is mentioned once, and you don't even know if "you" is a girl. Even at 9 or 10 I got how clever a pop song it was. Always thought of it as a prototypical perfect pop song that will sound as good 100 from now.
The induction of Bon Jovi is proof that the Hall is a joke. Run of the mill bar band that got lucky. The Guess Who >Bon Jovi every day of the week

Not sure what this is in reference to??
Rich World/Poor World from the album "Power in the Music."
The album Power in the Music. Except for a very few songs, difficult to listen to. This album would not put them on the right side of the r&r hall of fame. Self-indulgent is a good description of the album.
I think the comment is self-indulgent

Agreed. Too bad he was such an ass-hole.
On the other hand, Randy Bachman is a class act and his radio show on CBC called Vinyl Tap is excellent.
Agree 100% !!!!!!

You need not wonder why
I stole these two lines to use in a break up letter to my first serious girlfriend in high school. I'm sure I thought at the time that I was being clever, or elegant, or mature, or whatever the hell else you might think about your own actions when you are in high school. More than just a bit both funny and sad to think about it all these years later.
Oh boy, and you're still alive to tell the tale? But then again, looking back through my own years I've got to say I've no idea how I've survived, sometimes, from then to now. At least now I'm hopeful my stupid quotient has declined from its epically high levels of way back then. Hopefully.

Still strong and holds up over all this time.

I like a lot of their hits....those 2 are good....the one track rarely heard is the HI-larious "Follow Your Daughter Home" which isn't necessarily great music but FUN music. I've rated this one a 9.
*Edit* Maybe it's because I haven't heard this track in about 10 years or more, but the outro seems different than I'm used to....maybe it's the FM station fading away too soon...or maybe it's a remastered track from the GH album it was on....anyone know if that's the case?
Guess they're from Winnipeg. And yep.
So am I.
Still proud

Keep promising myself to get the record of the 2000 Reunion tour with Bachman and Cummings together again for one last time.
There were also a few head scratchers too: Clap for the Wolfman, Glamour Boy, and Albert Flasher just to get started...
That song still gets a lot of play in The States as well - on pretty much every classic rock station. The single I hear the least is "Undun" - which I thought was their best tune.
This song is one of those decade-defining tracks for me. Never got tired of it.
This song puts me at the age of 18 or 19 hitch-hiking across the Prairie provinces and up to Lynn Lake in northern Manitoba.

Yeah, and that Lenny Kravitz' cover in Austin Powers II didn't really help matters either...
Were they able to pull-off these nice harmonies in concert? Curious.
They could sing as well as play. Randy Bachman had a good voice and the bass player also provided great harmonies. When he left he formed a band called Srublocaine with Danny McBride the ex leader singer from LightHouse. I say them at the Carleton Pub. McBride only showed for a couple of songs as he was loaded. Ex Guess Who bassist handled all vocals in his absence.
bill - time for the retirement bin on RP .......and please, god, please, retire "light my fire" along with it.......
love this timely classic...

Yup. American Woman still gets lots of air play up in Canada. Must be the knee-jerk nationalism. ;-)
![{#Angel} {#Angel}](https://img.radioparadise.com/emoji/eusa_angel.gif)
Correct! Bachman and Cummings spent their formative years in "The 'Peg" as did Neil Young.
Winnipeg, I was told. I was living in SW Florida in 1974 with friends from Rosseau, MN. I bought this album and was telling the guys how good it was. "We know," they said. "They played at our prom." I saw them almost front row a year or two later in St. Paul. I remember Burton Cummings being very grumpy at stage hands who were having trouble with his piano or sound gear. But what a voice!
and followed by the Stones, go BG ...
Canadian.
The AM dial is all we had here back then. The FM band didn't start to get interesting until 1974 for us. Just in time, too. I was a high school junior in 74.
I did see them in Toronto in the early 70's, then Burton by himself playing a baby-grand piano, also in Toronto, but 30 years later and 100 pounds heavier. Still had the voice, though.

Burton Cummings had one of the best voices ever in pop music.
Agreed. This one was a great road song.

Yes. The show is not bad.
Vinyl Tap, excellent name!
It's okay. We understood completely. No, really...
