RIP Robbie, as always as in this song, Robbie was the Powerplant, allowing Randy to cut magic, and Fred to growl out the lyrics powerfully as Robbie always matched his intensity.
SSSSSSSSCCCCCCHHHHHHHHHMMMMMMMOOOOOKKKKKKIIIINNNNN'!!!!
As a kid, I never even paid attention to the lyrics, it was just a banging air guitar jam. I don't remember me and my friends sitting around the cafeteria discussing the nuances of "roll" 😂😂😂
I know right? 🤣
I rarely understand what is being sang, unless I have the Lyrics in front of me.
Yeah, 'Let's roll' just means let's go.....unfortunately, after 9/11 that was changed
They didn't put lyrics on 8tracks and cassettes and only a few albums in the early years. You had to be a real fanatic to know the lyrics or what they meant. We just rocked out to the whole sound.
I've listened to this song FOREVER, and other than the chorus, I never knew what they were singing - and, frankly, I didn't care. It was a guitar jam - end of story.
Brad had it. “Rolling” was a slang I guess in the 60’s/70’s for cruising. It’s the story of a band that isn’t big enuff yet to have a big crew. So after they finished playing they loaded up the truck and headed to the next city. They wanted to get there fast as possible but also avoid getting pulled over by the PD.
RIP Robbie Bachman... he was a great drummer in a great band
ROLL ON Ronnie...RIP...Canada Rocks...
The wheels are what's rolling when they say let it roll. They were driving a semi - said so at the beginning of the song, so there's a lot of wheels rolling on down the highway. When you're driving, time equals money.
Ha ha, yeah, they might have over-analyzed it a bit too much. Brad finally did nail it, though, with "it's just a figure of speech." ;)
BTO is such an iconic band almost all their songs could be sampled or in a commercial their lyrics and riffs never die.
RIP Robbie. My uncle was a semi driver that liked country music. When I was 16 I gave him the Not Fragile album for his birthday and he was hooked. This song according to him was one of the best semi driving songs ever made. I bought this album for myself when it came out, and it's still as great today as it was back then.
I used to navigate for my ex driving OTR. I can agree that it is a good semi-truck-driving song.
Hey there guicho gf ............Much Aroha (Love and respect)_ to you and your uncle
You are so right....................for me BTO was the greatest Canadian band of all time.
They were down to earth, loud, genuine and played 'old school' music in a way that i miss so much.
I remember the days, i used to just hop in the car, windows down, destination unknown and just play their music................ Roll on down the highway, You ain't seen nothing yet, taking care of business etc etc
Days never to be forgotten.
Much respect.,
Big Jim
New Zealand.
On my first date with my future wife of 46 years I had BTO in my 8 track player held in place with a pack of matches and we rocked all night listening to the great sound! Aah great memories!
I remember those days
This song is pure rock and riffs and rolling. The power of BTO on display.
Robbie Bachman was the drummer for BTO. He passed away at age 69 on Jan. 12, 2023. His brother Randy is the lead guitarist and sometimes lead singer. The singer on this song is Fred Turner.
Singer and bassist - don't forget that last part, it is very important 🙂
I bought their album the day is was released here in Canada. Legend. RIP
@@erikthompson619 And one of the very best voices in rock and roll.
Who sang You Ain't Seen Nothin Yet?
@@quincee3376 Randy Bachman
I was a teenager living in the Outer Banks (Hatteras) back in the early to mid 70's. We couldn't get albums unless we traveled to Elizabeth City which is approx 120 miles away. We had friends get them for us when they travelled that way. This album was one that we were lucky enough to get. We played it constantly. Drove my parents nuts. Wow- how times have changed. Now this old man just loads it on the smart phone.😀
Love this song
Check out their song Blue Collar. These rockers can do amazing jazz, and thoughtful lyrics. It routinely gets overlooked but it truly shows the calibre of musicianship we're dealing with here, and is their masterpiece imo.
RIP drummer Robbie Bachman...69 is way too young...
Randy learned to play jazz when he was young. He had a good friend named Lenny Breaux who taught him jazz chords. Randy put a jazz song on every BTO album. It confused us rocker fans. 8-)
BTO at their best!!! Love this song, especially the line "I'd like to have a jet but it's not in the song"
They were singing that line as I read your comment.
Definitely a classic!
I was in college when BTO hit the airwaves like a Bomb! Just hard crankin' Rock-n-Roll. They were an instant classic!
BTO was my first concert ever as a teenager. During the concert Robbie Bachman literally got up and walked around the drum set while continuing to play the song! Cool!
Saw BTO in 1974 when they were touring after "Not Fragile" was released. The "warm up" band?
ELO, touring for "Face to Music". Opened with "Fire on High/Poker"
Hows that for a show?
RIP Robbie Bachman 🙏🏻
I've listened to this song hundreds of times over the years and I never could make out the line "I'd like to have a jet but it's not in the song." Tonight, I learned. And laughed! And then right after this gem of a line, y'all get into a discussion about the word "roll," which I thought was kinda weird. Here's the deal on that: A wheel cannot roll by itself.
BTO was a band that brought reverence to the truck driving profession! There was a trucker magazine in the 70s called Overdrive, and if not mistaken their name was a nod to that magazine.
Wheels roll down the highway. Translation complete.
Killer rock-anthem song!!!
Before they were known as BTO, the band was called Brave Belt. Randy Bachman started Brave Belt with younger brother Robbie after he left The Guess Who along with original Guess Who lead singer Chad Allan. Later, Tim Bachman and C. Fred Turner would join the band. Brave Belt originally started as a country-rock outfit with Allan on lead vocal but evolved to the hard rock direction with Turner on lead vocal that would presage BTO's sound. Robbie Bachman's most significant contribution to Brave Belt aside from his drumming was co-writing the song "Summer Soldier".
R.I.P. Robbie Bachman. Great drummer!
Brad & Lex, you'll love their "Hey You"!!
Agreed. IMO, a much better song than Roll Down The Highway.
I love this song
I believe it more if your name was Tim Horton
@@TheTussman , hey, don't knock the Hortons. Lol.
Love it when Lex rocks out with a big smile to stuff from my high school days.
Funny how words or terms can have their meaning lost or changed over decades… it was easy to understand that “rolling down the highway” meant easily cruising down the road, with an emphasis on getting where you need to go.
Great song! Always rocked it a few times traveling from northern Michigan to the south. Cool reaction 😎👍
Role and Roll maybe we need a third Roll. BTO never gets old. Excellent as always you two.
The rolling conversation cracked me up! 😄
Are we not going to address "Rollin' On The River?" Hehehehehehehe
When this song came out there was a huge following of everything to do with trucking. Movies, TV shows, music etc.
The song is about the band driving down the highway and being excited about making money and being successful along with the pitfalls or problems that may go along with it, like tickets or maybe being busted for pot or something if pulled over. It's as simple as 1, 2, 3.
Can you imagine a rock band putting out a song that made it to #1 in 22 countries? BTO did that. An underrated band for sure.
We Gotta Roll, back in the day of this song, meant we have got to get going. So Roll=Going, as in this case, Gotta Roll to our next GIG. Basically the band is lost trying to first find the right town, then the right location.
"Times real short, you know the distance is long. I'd like to have a jet, but it's not in the song."
One of the best, breaking-the-fourth-wall lyrics ever written.
RIP Robbie.
BTW, they are in a truck (climb back in the cab).
Part of the Smoky and the Bandit generation of trucking, illegal transporting, CB's, and the po-lice that are chasing them.
The term "rolling" is a colloquialism used to describe one's moving on, moving forward, leaving a destination or traveling to a destination, though it also has a multitude of other connotations.
Example; " let's get rolling" or
" let's roll".
Meaning; let's leave.
You had to be there..
B.T.O. was such a pleasant alternative to some of the other rocks. It was out there at the time.
Doubt it's about drugs lol.
Most likely a trucker, worker type song. Motivation type song. Been on lots of commercials, TV shows, movies, etc too.
Lot of BTO songs are like this. "Taking Care of Business" is another great one from them. As well as "Let It Ride" and "You Aint Seen Nothing Yet', etc. Songs from the '70s and '80s.
Bachman son and nephew, Tal also had songs during the late '90s and '00s. Such as "She's So High", "If You Sleep", "Aeroplane", etc.
RIP Robbie. We all had this album.
Great that you guys reacted to this 70's Rocker! Much appreciated.. The band UFO has an excellent, high energy Rock tune called "Let It Roll".. from the mid 70's..
🇨🇦 Canada proud!
..."Class of 76"...All vehicles Roll down the highway unless they are on snow ski's...then they are sliding on down the hill..of course if they were on a lake they would be skimming on down the lake but they aren't...they are on a highway and their car has wheels so they are rolling on down the highway...RIP Robbie...Luv your music always!
Saw them in concert with Cheap Trick back in '92. Was one hell of a good time!!
The four wheels are rollin!
Incidentally, in reference to the possibility of the song having a drug connotation, I believe that the members of the band did not do drugs. In fact, I remember Randy Bachman saying part of the reason he left the Guess Who (amicably) when they were peaking was because he didn't like being around the drug scene. Also believe he's Mormon.
This group was always on my dad’s turntable. We did some serious rocking out in my early days. What a beautiful thing.
Great song from my hometown boys from Winnipeg, Canada and the drummer Robbie Bachman just passed away at the age of 69.
You are over thinking it. It is just a Rock & Roll song, and a great one at that.
One of the ultimate highway songs
I don't remember trying to figure songs out back in the day when they were new. Maybe because most or the time we were stoned. Now we are senior citizens and still enjoy those same songs as much as we did back then. And we are no longer high.
Love this song
Wheels roll so let it roll
and prolly rollin a lefty
This song freakin rocks, man. 😎
Ya CRANK IT UP.🎸🎤
back when i was younger and the ladies were disco..this was rock n roll..i lived thru it...ast when driving is abacab
BTO was my first concert about 50 years ago. Stadium was packed, great show.
Great job you guys, another great Canadian band i grew up with in my youth.....thanks
In my years as a truck driver, I would have this cranked up on the stereo, key up my cb radio and get back a bunch of air horns going off.
I heard from a trucker once that it's called Georgia Overdrive when you drop it in neutral on the long downhill. I think.
They let it roll. They also have a song called "Let it Ride".
Rolling in the deep, rolling in the hay, rolling a joint, lets ROLL! Where that baby at?
Oh yeah, my all time favorite song from BTO! When I or ANY of my friends were behind the wheel when this song came on, it was automatic pedal to the metal time.
Everybody who heard this song back in the 70s knew what "roll" meant. Nothing "passive" about it.
And yeah, this song generated millions of speeding tickets
This song playing on the radio + Dodge 340/4 speed + Interstate highway + heavy right foot = Best time of my life.
It's pretty much been all downhill since.
The wheels are rolling.
Wasp- charisma
Project wyze- room to breathe
Chaoseum- smile again
Jesse reyes- figures
Hahaha ! Rolling down the highway is about driving/ rolling/ let it roll. As Todd Stevens says below me Robbie was a good solid drummer, in the pocket , good time keeper. Never busy but used tasteful fills Thanks
Dang ain't yall heard the term let's roll? Like it means hit the road... Let's get going... Let's roll...
I mean when you say let's bounce you don't mean you really bounced means the same thing as let's roll LOL 😂 and that's your lesson today from the old guy.
Blue collar rock n roll. Loved these guys. Really need to check out their song Stonegates. It wasn't a hit, but it IS a banger with some serious picking on the outro.
Two brothers in this band Robby and Randy Bachman. Randy played with The Guess Who (American Woman) before BTO.
The original lineup consisted of Randy Bachman (lead guitar, lead vocals), Fred Turner (bass guitar, lead vocals), Tim Bachman (guitar, vocals) and Robbie Bachman (drums). This lineup released two albums in 1973. The second and most commercially successful lineup featured Blair Thornton (lead guitar), in place of Tim Bachman. This lineup released four albums between 1974 and 1977, including two that reached the top 5 in the U.S. pop charts, as well as the band's only U.S. No. 1 single ("You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet"). Subsequent lineups enjoyed only moderate success.
I, in my '68 Charger, would develop lead foot every time this song came on the radio.😅
Kudos Brad and Lex for playing lesser known and deep cuts. As well as hits. You have the best radio stream.
This band was Huge and Iconic.... Randy is still a presence in the media. Deep cut for sure and a banger. RIP Robbie.
My older brother had this 8-track tape used to listen to it a lot while cruising around and of course racing sometimes in his 69 Chevelle , I got to see BTO open up for Van Halen back in the 80s I was 17 that summer
They def kicked ass 🤘❤️
Hey you two,don't hurt yourselves trying to figure out 70's vernacular, you'd just have to be there. ✌️
Blue collar to the extreme, Randy Bachman was a member of The Guess Who, I wish I had 1% of that guttural growl that Fred Turner has, for a few years they were kings, check out Let It Ride.
R.I.P 😟 TO ROBBIE BACHMAN, RANDY'S BROTHER! AND A GREAT ROCK DRUMMER! 😊
Good ol 70s rock jam
Lets roll = lets go!
Meat and potatoes hard rock ... with an exceptional guitar solo to boot. And it's Canadian!
BTO was a great band. This song has a lot of energy and was a big hit on FM radio back when I was alive. I thank them for the minutes/hours/years of enjoyment they provided me. Writing great music ain't as easy as fishin'.
Roll'n is just keeping the wheels turning As the line said. You gotta keep driving if you want to make a buck. ie; Getting to the next Gig.
I get on my bike, pop in my ear buds, put on this song, 2 minutes later I look at the speedometer and I'm doing 85
Nice reaction. back in the day driving with a purpose was rollin'. "let's get rolling" or "I'm going to roll up on out of here." Love your channel!
R.I.P. Robbie Bachman.
When you stop the song in the middle. Then talked about "the meaning of roll". I think somebody "rolled" something before they recorded this. Luv Yinz.
Randy Bachman had converted to Mormonism well before this song was released so you can be pretty sure any song he wrote for BTO was not about drug consumption.
In the 70s, we rolled. Meaning you we moving, let's roll= to leave. You rolled, let it roll, roll with it, it was just a slang word. This song is about truck drivers, they don't get paid if they aren't rolling. Driving fast, trying not to get stopped by the police.
They did have cruise control in the 70's. My Monte Carlo had it.
This is a blue collar song about driving a semi truck down the highway.
Brad mentioned how many speeding tickets?...
For me at least, my right foot got heavy while listening to this song, and I must admit, it still dose!
I'm 60, and music ("my taste in music") still triggers emotions, memories, & in certain situations, my personality & sometimes my actions upon hearing it.
I enjoy watching your reactions to the music that I grew up with.
Keep on, keeping on!
Cheers!
I think I can explain the rolling thing. Yeah, it became a popular expression of hey man let's get rolling for let's roll down the road. But picture it in terms of the trucks they're using to transport their gear from city to city because they can't afford a plane like bands like Deep Purple at the time for example. So when you say your rolling down the road, there's a sense that you're barreling down the road and that you've got an awful lot of weight and momentum and mass with you.
But it's very driven because he even mentions the engine size in one of the verses, but the idea is that to say we're rolling is a whole lot more momentum-oriented and formidable and has a lot more attitude to it than just saying, we were driving down the road. That last one actually ends up being the passive thing to say.
Yeeesssss!
Great choice!!
Randy Bachman left the Guess Who because of the drug use of the other members so i'm gonna say rolling is what wheels do.
Randy also left due to him having a dozen gall stones which were causing him a lot of pain, he needed an operation to remove them, the Guess Who's constant touring was taking a strain on Randy's general health and he needed a break, so he chose to leave The Guess Who when they had a #1 album and single with "American Woman".
🤭🤭🤭your baby is listening 🤭🤭🤭🤘❤️
This is different. It's often Brad whose comments are so off target you wonder why he's thinking that. This time it's Lex. Bitchin' song about bein' in a hurry driving down the freeway, something which I guess Lex has never experienced as a fun thing to do. Always loved this song.
It's old slang for go. As in, "let's roll" (let's go) " Roll up on someone". " we rolled in to town". Also slang for go is "get cracking", "let's crack", let's slide", let's boogie, "let's cruise," "let's blow", and a hundred others.
I watch Robbie with awe playing those drums. So good.
They be cruising in overdrive...
Well now you need to do The Doobie Brothers: "Rockin' Down the Highway"
I love BTO. Such a staple of the 70's! Let it Ride is a good on from them.
The Bachman boys were in a great Canadian group before this called “ The Guess Who” with a great number of hits and a great singer named Burton Cummings….check them out.
This tune and highway star got me a few tickets back in the day 😊😊
