“My guitar playing was a one-of-a-kind thing I developed as a kid in Winnipeg. You can’t replace that”: Randy Bachman is suing the band performing under The Guess Who name for $20 million

Randy Bachman.

The Guess Who’s original songwriters, Canadian electric guitar icon Randy Bachman and vocalist Burton Cummings, are suing the current lineup of the band for false advertising – alleging the group is using “false and misleading tactics” to trade on Bachman and Cummings’ reputation and back catalog.

The complaint document, filed in a California court, relates to the nostalgia circuit group put together by the pair’s former bandmates Jim Kale and Garry Peterson and currently touring as The Guess Who.
