Talk:Bachman–Turner Overdrive

message: I took out the reference to straigt edge. Straight edge has very negative connotations of violence and intimidation that Randy Bachman has never had anything

message: Since when is "Taking Care of Business" a more famous song than "You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet" ? Niall123
although Takin' Care of Business (awesome song) is more popular and famous than You Ain't Seen Nothin' Yet, You Ain't topped the chart's at #1 spot, while TCB never reached #1
Should there be a note about the movie High Fidelity: "We are no longer Sonic Death Monkey. We are on the verge of becoming Kathleen-Turner Overdrive, but just for tonight, we are Berry Jive and his Uptown Five"--Atticus2020 08:49, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

message: Can we get a lineups table please? This seems to be another longrunning band with a lot of personnel changes... --kingboyk 22:30, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

message: BTO did NOT start out as the Guess Who.  Randy Bachman was part of the Guess Who, but he left over creative differences with the band's singer and other main songwriter, Burton Cummings.  In fact, the Guess Who existed at the same time (although with many different lineups) as BTO.
: That change was made three days ago by an anonymous contributor, and I guess nobody noticed it. FWIW, anyway. Bearcat 07:27, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

message: I removed the trivia section (they are discouraged), but just to add the the pronunciation thing is wrong. Here in Canada at least BACKman Turner Overdrive is right. DJ Clayworth (talk) 17:16, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Of course you are right the name is probably of German origin, but like it or not it's now a Canadian name also and has got a different pronunciation. It's not the only European name that has been screwed up after crossing the Atlantic. But it's simply something we have to accept! Narking (talk) 17:09, 7 July 2008 (UTC)

text: That makes no sense.  Canadian raising applies to diphthongs, which the vowel in "Bachman" is not.  It is a vowel shift of some sort, but it is not Canadian raising.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.51.88.36 (talk) 04:12, 1 March 2010 (UTC)

message: This might be a completely trivial point, but should there be an en dash (Bachman–Turner Overdrive) rather than a hyphen (Bachman-Turner Overdrive) in this band's name, since it links two names a là Bose–Einstein condensate? (in this case, it links the Bachmans (Randy, Tim, and Robbie) with Fred Turner) It seems like it would comply with WP:ENDASH to me. Xnux the Echidna 00:12, 31 August 2009 (UTC)

message: A reader contacted Wikimedia ticket:2015020110000644 suggesting that "Free Wheelin'" should be listed as a single release in 1974. It appears to me it is the B-side of "You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet", and may not deserve a separate entry. I'm out of my depth, but wanted to raise the issue so interested editors can make sure we have it right.--S Philbrick(Talk) 14:28, 3 February 2015 (UTC)

message: Garry broke his ankle playing in a charity softball game while BTO was on tour on a day off.No one from the band came to see him at the hospital in Texas and went home by himself on crutches.Tim Bachman came to him later and said “Randy says you’re out and that Billy Chapman was a better drummer anyway”.So,instead of letting a temp fill in till mended, he fires him and causes (again in his life)financial hardship.
