Robbie Bachman, co-founder and drummer of Bachman-Turner Overdrive, dies at 69
Robbie Bachman, the self-taught drummer who co-founded Bachman-Turner Overdrive, has died at age 69.
“He was a really cool, inventive — not a disciplined — drummer,” Randy Bachman said in a phone interview. “He never had drum lessons. He just listened to the records and played like John Bonham and Ringo Starr.”He didn’t know the cause, but said his younger brother had suffered from heart issues in recent years that prevented him from performing.
“He’d run to the front of the stage and throw a rose to every woman in the front row, or the guy she was with, and say, ‘Are you ready to rock ‘n’ roll? Do you want more rock ‘n’ roll?’” Randy Bachman recounted.Randy Bachman said Robbie expressed interest in drumming from a young age and recalled crafting a makeshift instrument for his teen brother, who was 10 years his junior.
Renamed to Bachman-Turner Overdrive, the band released a list of what would become classic rock radio staples, including “Let It Ride” and “Hey You.” They also disagreed over which musicians should be part of a reformed BTO in 1984, leaving Robbie to sit out the first reunion, though he would rejoin another incarnation of the band later that decade.
But in his 2014 book “Tales From Beyond the Tap,” Randy Bachman wrote that the brothers had never reconciled in those waning years, saying Robbie had “grandiose delusions about himself.”Despite the rift, they eventually reunited for a Canadian Music Hall of Fame induction in 2014 when BTO’s original 1974 lineup — the Bachman brothers; Turner, who was the vocalist; and guitarist Blair Thornton — agreed to perform together at the Juno Awards.
