0:56 that's a picture of Robert Lamm you are using while talking about Terry Kath dying at age 32.

Wrong…terry Kath wasn’t playing Russian roulette….

Ya - I played / lived with the two younger Cetera Brothers in the 70's. Our band heard about Terry as soon as it happened. We were also a rock band with a good horn section - it was shocking & tragic. He was the after burner of Chicago..

Great band. I miss the old days of great music.

Thanks for making this! Taught me things I didn’t even know!

I love Chicago they are a great group

A story about Chicago without a mention of Robert Lamn? Impossible.

Sorry to hear about Keith's accident. He was their best guitarist after Kath. He had a long ride though. And I never heard of Jason's drinking problem, glad he nipped it in the bud, Jason's a pretty awesome dude.

They really need to recheck their facts

Yes great band with great songs! I have their greatest hits.

One of America's standard bearers and flagship bands in the history of Rock music.. Absolutely no doubt about that...

Love this band...even have one of THE 8 TRACKS from my early teens. I did lighting production for them in 1991 in a club in Lancaster Pa and got them to sign it!!!! ✌️😎✌️ ROCK ON 🎶🎶🎶🎶

Such a great band!

Most of the band went through their phase of substance abuse at one time or another. I wasn't aware about Walt and Keith's situation. Keith was the best guitarist to channel Kath. I don't recognize but 2 members of the band any longer, but as Lamm once said, EVERYBODY in this band is replaceable. Danny is doing great justice to Chicago with California Transit Authority and he still has his unmistakable chops. Perhaps we'll get to see more autobiographies from surviving members in the future.

So love and miss Keith, wish him so best. He makes it look so effortless while sounding so incredible.

いつもありがとうございます

I will never forget where I was when I heard of the tragic death of Terry Kath as I was at a friends house. Chicago was never the same without Terry in my mind! In my opinion they were never the same for me anyway. I highly doubt he meant to kill himself like some have said.

I saw my home city Chicago band this Wednesday, August 16. 2023 in Prescott Valley, Arizona and let me say they were dynamite 🎺

Great band Peter Centera is such underrated vocalist.

I love Chicago (the original band with Terry Kath)…I so wish that the three original members that are left ( Robert Lamm , Lee Loughnane , & James Pankow ) could write a book about Chicago. I know HBO a few years ago had a documentary (Now More Than Ever). I also wish their former producer/manager James William Guercio, Walter Parazaider- if he can get help and Peter Cetera could write a book as well. I don’t know if we’ll ever know the whole truths. I would like to know if Peter and Terry got along well. I’d like to know what Chicago thought of other new bands that came out around the same time as them as, Creedence Clearwater Revival, The Allman Brothers, Led Zeppelin, & The Eagles… There was an interesting book that came along with the 1991 Chicago box set titled (Group Portrait)…. Peter Cetera takes part in this book .. He talks about his tenure with Chicago. He mentioned when they recorded the song (Lowdown) off of Chicago III Terry said something like “ Don’t ever tell anybody I played on this song” Peter felt like Terry played with (Peter’s quote from the book) “ I don’t give a shit attitude”. I don’t want to miss quote anything, but that’s what I remembered... Peter did not have anything else negative to say… Speaking of (Lowdown) I do kind of hear what Peter was saying, it seems like it was one of the only Chicago songs that Terry kind of played differently…I wish Danny Seraphine & Laudir de Oliveira could of partaken in that book as well.. James William Guercio their producer/manager also partook in the book. I wish they could’ve done a Christmas album during those years (1969-77).. As far as Bill Champlin ,I am sorry for the loss of his son. I saw him give an interview on a KZfaq channel titled (Rock History Music) … He seems like a down to earth nice guy. I was not really a fan of Chicago the period he was in the band though.

Kath was the man at least in the early days. Sort of lost interest in them when he passed. Cetera leaving was another devastating blow.

I was laughing so hard during the part of the video that tells the tragic story of Walter Parazaider, the original sax player of Chicago but showing a video clip and photos of the new saxophonist instead. This is so wrong and misleading.

They talk about Walter Parazaider but those pictures most of them are definitely not Walter Parazaider. When people rush putting a bio together, somehow they get sloppy and messed them up.

Poor Walter and Bill

Was Keith Howland the one screaming "I'm addicted you" In the song.. "hard Habit to break" ?

There are so many holes in your story that I laughed like never before. Thanks

The second tragedy David Foster getting involved.

You show pictures of Bill Champlin in the late 80s when he was the main lead singer of their hits, when discussing Jason Sheff, who was the other lead singer at that time. The super long mullet with the gown & glove dressed girls is Bill, not Jeff.

Cetera also was involved in a baseball game in 1971, where he was beaten up by four US Marines.

Terry had zero alcohol in his system and trace amount of cocaine in his tox screen. Nothing else. Not even an aspirin. Which was surprising having been at a party. But perhaps because he was starting his solo album that night he intentionally wanted to be focused. Just a lie he was drunk or high when he died. Or was playing Russian Roulette.

I didn't even get 5 minutes in. It was NOT a game of Russian Roulette. Got to block you now.

Jason was great too

How do you play " russian roulette" with a semi auto ?

Please do a video on traffic life of the Backstreet boys

That story on Wikipedia about Kath and his death. My gawd, I believe that is the Darwin Award. Drugs and alcohol are terrible.

wrong gun...

Terry's last words were "Don't Worry It's Not Loaded. it was a tragic accident he took the clip out but forgot there was a bullet inthe chamber

Peter Cetera got a big break when he had 4 marines attack him and broke his jaw. They didn't like hippies and Peter Cetera had the long hair. Anyways he had his jaw wired. After that his voice changed and he had the perfect voice

Mandatory oaths and sacrifices‼️

Terry was not playing Russian Roulette there was witnesses he genuinely forgot it was loaded

its seems that to old first fans cetera is the phil collins of this band

Without Walt Bill Terry Peter and Jason Chicago should just call it a day honestly especially without Bill Champlin

Tell me Terry

I compared this band with the Temptations. Both bands had a baritone and a falsetto. In this case, Chicago had Terry Kath (baritone) and Peter Cetera (falsetto) and The Temptations had David Ruffin (baritone) and Birmingham, Alabama's Eddie Kendricks (falsetto). They're no longer in their respective bands although Cetera is still with us to this day.

If Terry had attended Alec's firearm safety course prior to this tragedy, he might be alive today.

Bobert Lamm? crap video

Guns are never "unloaded!"
