Triumph - Rik Emmett gets an explosion in the face

[krelbar]

Providence Civic Center. My brother was here for this.

[fivepiece]

I'd give up a couple paychecks to see Rik share the stage with Alex, Neil, and Geddy.

[ieetemos4breakfast]

Yea if the Triumph reunion doesnt happen, Id pay to see that for sure!!!

[PEDROCLASSIC]

the pyrotech guy got let go or what? maybe just a warning

[kerrplunk1]

The show must go on!

[gibsonpaul0]

I LOVE triumph... but RUSH is 190891087320784083249021857903­149120321 x's better with no questions in every single way .

[ThePowerWithinMe]

@gibsonpaul0 Why compare them? THEY BOTH ROCK.........

[Robman7]

@gibsonpaul0 I love both bands too. If i had to look at the entire catalog of both groups I would have to put "Hold On" in my top spot though. That song is almost perfect to me. Cheers to both!

[3impersonators]

Rik almost became southern fried chicken...  XD

[lowtide321]

I was at that show in Providence RI, Never forget the great music!!

[REALCougarsRmales]

the stuff musicians do to rock!

[kolordude]

damit!! now thats a good reason to dont be on the first row

well at least he is still kickin' ass

[JonHawaii2003]

James Hetfield vs Rik Emmet lol. Rik wins.

[bigjimgtr]

yeah !! I remember this my friend and I stuck around after the show for the video shoot, I never really could see what happened until this video though.

[goody088]

Well its been almost 25 years but I was definately at this show. I could have sworn it was 87 but I did see Triumph twice at the PCC. I know RAT opened one of their shows, and this was sold out, both were.

[fuasshole666]

ZEPPELIN ROCKS

[wakaw07]

Zeppelin are the most UNORIGINAL band ever! Every thing they recorded was stolen!! Thats a fact jack!

[fuasshole666]

HAVE A NICE DAY, ROB

[Roger007Audioslave]

These guy do remind me of RUSH!!!

[whoreratio]

The Blinding Light (my hair on fire) Show.

Rik is a good guy. ouchy

[gopherindian]

I can't believe this is on here. Believe me or not, I was at the shooting of this video (as well as the 12000 other people who were at the Providence Civic Center that night in Feb of 1985). After the concert, they told the people to stay around because they were going to shoot the Follow Your Heart video. It explosion incident happened on like the first take. Then they filmed again while Rik went back stage (just Gil and Mike). He came back out a little while later and they continued.

[JEFFMULJAT]

man...he almost joined the james hetfeild club! gotta be careful with those fireworks kids! but we love em! haha rock on

[zufgh]

i guess that was the BRIGHT side of life

i bet that was the lightning streak of his career

man he was on fire

[mamasboyl]

LOL,oh man,that was terrible,but funny!

[zufgh]

by terrible do you mean wrong to say that or they were crap eitherway you laughed

[mamasboyl]

On no not that!What I meant to say that it was "dry humor".Great comments,but dry.I like them either way!Sorry if I offended you pal!

[zufgh]

you did not offend

[xXTheRatXx]

It's really just an austin powers rip off.

I guess he'd have liked to, go out in a bang.

I think it's fair to say rik, saw the light.

[zufgh]

uh.............no

[krelbar]

Michael Jackson moment.

Follow, the spark, you gotta follow the spark...

[doelstu]

Where is your lead guitarist son?!!

Blown up Sir!!

[KingTabor]

his guitar is a Yamaha SG?

[whoreratio]

Canada's version of Michael Jackson..?

[t78a]

no, Canada's version of Van Halen. Celine vs Barbara, Nelly Fertado vs Beyonce, BTO vs CCR, and Rush has no rivals. Can't match their lyrics or drummer.

[Keenen420]

so theyre rivals? i think theyre two kick ass and take names good ol canadian bands, can u imagine if rik was in rush? not that theyd need him, but hey u can deny his vocals heart and guitar

[wakaw07]

I like both rush and triumph! But Rik defineately has a better voice then Geddy!

[LordRavenX8]

and i find him a more interesting guitar player.

[lastdaysguitar]

Rik in Rush would've been awesome, he could walk over to Alex 2 trade riffs, and then sing duet with Geddy - what a dream band that'd be!

[Canadiancouple]

And these are the guys that taught me all my pyro tricks!!!!!

[mwdayv]

his hair was smokin

[krelbar]

Remember that...It was filmed in providence RI. 23 years ago!!! Geez where did the time go?

[whoreratio]

Time goes where it always goes..

I'll give you 10 seconds to figure it out.

[craigmad]

That's right! The Providence Civic Center. Now The Dunk. I think I was a sophmore in high school at the time.

[saffronboots]

Wasn't the first time Rik got fried by the pyro - but that was nuts.
