The paint fumes have cleared so I'm
After outselling the Beatles in 1970, the Guess Who did not last long with Cummings, Kale and Bachman.
Why did one of the biggest names leave?
 
"Lifestyle differences led Bachman to leave the group during their unfinished 1970 album The Way They Were"

Due to booze and drugs, Burton Cummings was a barely functional human being unless he was sitting at a piano. In some cases they'd drag him on stage and prop him up at the keys and cross their fingers. When the lights went up and the first song started it was like flipping a switch - he'd hammer out every song.

Bachman had a more sober way about him.
 
Righto.
Randy Bachman claims to have never been into the excesses of rock'n roll. At the time I think he was more into cheeseburgers. :)

To bad they split, for the time and place, the Guess Who was an awesome band.

I saw Burton Cummings back around 82 or 83 in Halifax, he put on a really good show.
