Members of The Guess Who<\/strong>\u00a0have settled their long dispute over the band\u2019s name.<\/span><\/p>\n

The band\u2019s founding singer Burton Cummings<\/strong> and guitarist Randy Bachman<\/strong> sued fellow original members Jim Kale<\/strong> and Garry Peterson<\/strong> last October, accusing them of tricking fans into thinking Cummings and Bachman were still performing with the group, when they were actually getting a “cover band.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Cummings and Bachman\u00a0have now announced that the suit is settled, which has resulted in them acquiring the trademark for the name The Guess Who.<\/span><\/p>\n

Cummings tells<\/span> <\/span><\/em>Rolling Stone<\/strong><\/span><\/em><\/a>\u00a0<\/span><\/em>he is relieved the suit is now behind them.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“There\u2019s been a fake band out there for a long time using the real records to promote their shows, and it handcuffed me in many ways,” he says.\u00a0\u201cWe\u2019re trying to preserve the history and the legacy of The Guess Who for our fans all over the place have who have followed the real band and the real songs.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Bachman adds, \u201cTo be able to come back together as partners and shut down the bad reputation being formed by the false advertising and fraudulent band is really good, and I look forward to what\u2019s ahead.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Other than the fact they have now retained the Guess Who trademark, Cummings and Bachman\u00a0didn’t offer any details about the settlement.<\/span><\/p>\n

Peterson had been the only original member of The Guess Who still performing as part of the band, albeit infrequently. In an attempt to stop\u00a0his incarnation of the group, Cummings \u2014 who wrote the band\u2019s classic hits like \u201cAmerican Woman\u201d and \u201cThese Eyes\u201d and owns the publishing for them \u2014 canceled the performing rights agreements for the songs in April. That meant no band, including Peterson\u2019s, was allowed to play those songs live, forcing\u00a0The Guess Who to cancel shows.<\/span><\/p>\n
