Randy Bachman Quotes

My love, growing up on the Prairies, was country music Picture Quote #1

My songs are like cheap Neil Young copies Picture Quote #1

Burton Cummings joining the Guess Who in January 1966 changed my life forever. It’s been a rocky affiliation, no doubt. One journalist once described our relationship as the longest running soap opera in Canadian history. That may be a bit oversimplified Picture Quote #1

The local music community here was dying for a place to record, so we started doing acoustic, folk and bluegrass and then did rock projects for other bands, as well as for my son Tal and my own work Picture Quote #1

With The Guess Who, it took us fifty-something singles before we had hits Picture Quote #1

You are still lucky - you have a certain type of people who keep buying your music - but then you can get typecast and have to keep making that same music, and you can change only slightly. It’s risky to bounce around and change your type of music Picture Quote #1

When one knows at an early age that their gift, talent and direction is musical, one tends to focus on that and let nothing interfere or impede the forward motion toward the end of that rainbow. And after 50-something years of rockin’ out, you still realise there is no end to that distant rainbow until one’s last sunset Picture Quote #1

People have made a living deconstructing Lennon and The Beatles songs because of their compositional sophistication. But what’s so exciting about John is that he never had any of that training on musical theory; something just spoke to him, and he just knew what sounded right Picture Quote #1

The guitar is such an incredible instrument; it plays classical, flamenco, jazz, country, bluegrass, rock, acid, blues. You’ll never see a clarinet playing Black Sabbath. But you will see a guitar in a clarinet band playing rhythm. It is the most popular instrument in the world; it is the one everybody loves Picture Quote #1

I think if you’re a painter, you paint; if you’re a golfer, you golf; if you’re a fisherman, you fish; if you’re a musician, you play music Picture Quote #1

I learnt one thing in the past or in my life: the only person you can change is yourself, and it has to come from within Picture Quote #1

There is a great book out called ‘Everything I Needed to Learn I Learned in Kindergarten,’ and I believe that everything I ever needed to learn on guitar was in my first two years of hungry learning: Scotty Moore, Hank Marvin, Chet Atkins, Lenny Breau, Chuck Berry and Bo Diddley Picture Quote #1

When I pull into a city and I rent a car and it’s Nashville, or it’s London, or I’m driving in the taxi to the hotel, and on comes one of my songs, it’s like, ‘Oh my God, they’re still playing these songs on the radio.’ And you still feel tearful and very grateful that somebody still likes these songs that you made up Picture Quote #1

I think what made John Lennon so exciting as an artist is that, like Dylan and other musicians with a truly important musical legacy, he had several faces, personas that changed over time as he developed Picture Quote #1

It’s nice to get any awards, whether it’s lifetime achievement or the Keith Richards award for being alive one more year Picture Quote #1

You don’t have to have a great voice to sing, just a distinctive one. But make sure you say the words clearly and tell a story Picture Quote #1

My life has been a whole series of accidents, some of them happy, some not Picture Quote #1

We like the imperfect because it reminds us of ourselves Picture Quote #1

When you get successful, you can do pretty much whatever you want Picture Quote #1

When I was five I had violin lessons Picture Quote #1

The fact that the internet is so active; people can now speak to me indirectly Picture Quote #1

Generally, you are held to a sound and that becomes your sound. That gets branded as your sound, and all the copycats start with it because the labels are looking for that sound Picture Quote #1

You don’t need a uniform color: We used a mixture of brick red, browns and grays, and then threw in seashells, branches and various types of rock, so our walls ended up looking like cave paintings! Picture Quote #1

When you play all that as a body of work there are four great songs, four mediocre songs and four bad songs. I didn’t know it at the time; I was just doing my best Picture Quote #1

Those albums are so important to me because, for the first time, I was making my own music, paying for it, finding strengths in it, and going through the process of finding the right music for the record Picture Quote #1

Every night we all felt grateful to be there, stunned at the amount of people that are there, and stunned at their reactions. They go crazy; they know every lyric from eight years of age to eighty. It’s unbelievable Picture Quote #1

You take all the things that frighten you, and when you can get them to work for you all of sudden people are calling you a success Picture Quote #1

Those two songs condense the two albums. They also show what the audiences wanted. I was desperate to keep the band together and find something that the public would like Picture Quote #1
