Renowned guitarist and singer Randall Charles Bachman was born on September 27, 1943, in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. Apart from being known as the guitarist of the rock band The Guess Who, he also co-founded the band Bachman-Turner Overdrive. His musical journey began in 1960.

Randy Bachman’s net worth has been estimated to be $15 million as of early 2017, earned through his successful career in music. In addition to his band career, he has released 15 solo albums, including “Axe” (1970), “Survivor” (1978), “Every Song Tells A Story” (2001), and “Heavy Blues” (2015), collaborating with notable musicians such as Neil Young, Peter Frampton, Jeff Healey, and Joe Bonamassa.

Randy Bachman’s Net Worth is $15 Million

Of German and Ukrainian descent, Randy was introduced to music at an early age and developed a passion for the guitar. His educational journey was unconventional, as he was expelled from several schools and never graduated from college. Randy’s musical path began when he co-founded the band Al and the Silvertones in 1962 with Chad Allan. The band eventually evolved into The Guess Who, with whom Randy oversaw the release of successful albums such as “Shakin’ All Over” (1965), “It’s Time” (1966), “Weatfielf Soul” (1969), and “American Woman” (1970). However, due to differences with fellow band members related to his Mormon beliefs and aversion to drugs and alcohol, he left the band.

Subsequently, he launched the band Brave Belt, which eventually transformed into Bachman-Turner Overdrive with the addition of Fred Turner, producing a string of successful albums including “Four Wheel Drive” (1975), “Freeways” (1977), and “Bachman-Turner Overdrive” (1984), achieving global sales of nearly 30 million copies.

Personal life-wise, Randy has been married twice and has seven children. His first marriage to Lorayne Stevenson lasted from 1966 to 1977, and the couple had six children. In 1982, he married Denise McCann, with whom he has one child.

#Quote
1[on himself and Burton Cummings in 1967] We went to England to be the new Beatles and we were the new flops.
2[on hiring Dale Anne Brendon and Anna Ruddick of ‘Ladies of the Canyon’] I told them: “Bonham, Moon and Baker did not play the drums. They attacked the drums. They hit the drums like they were hitting a guy in the face in a bar fight”. Dale Anne and Anna said, “You mean we’re allowed to do this?” I said, “Yes, you are”…We launch into a song, and I look at Kevin [Shirley] and we’re going “Oh, wow! This is fucking amazing! These chicks are blowing the windows out of the room!”
3The power trios changed the world for me and for every other guitar player. You got an amp, you cranked it up, you learned one riff, you were Eric Clapton. You learned a couple of power chords, you were Pete Townshend and you started writing songs. It was amazing. And it still is!
4[As a teenager, hearing his own song on the radio for the first time] You actually sit and listen to it and you’re in awe and disbelief and you actually cry. We actually had tears. This is your Elvis moment, or your Beatles moment or your Madonna moment.
5[on his radio show ‘Vinyl Tap’] I kind of just go in and talk. So I’m not really dead-on correct when I mention the date when I met so-and-so – it might be June or it might be July – or January. I know it began with a J.
6When 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.
7My songs are like cheap Neil Young copies.
8I don’t think that bands that make it on their first album are as strong as bands that don’t: there is nowhere to go but down.
#Fact
1His surname is pronounced “Back-man.” Since he knew radio DJs wouldn’t pronounce the name correctly, he has accepted that the name in his band Bachman-Turner Overdrive is pronounced “Bach-man”.
2Currently resides on Salt Spring Island, British Columbia, Canada. [2006]
3Father of musician Tal Bachman.
4Bachman-Turner Overdrive’s record “You Ain’t Seen Nothing Yet” was a ‘novelty’ record in as much as they recorded it with a deliberate stammer as a joke. Turns out it was one of the best selling records of all time.
