  • Today's 'canned pop music' seems to even be pssin' the kids off. I mean I'm hearing more Ozzy, Van Halen, G-n-R, etc. AND 60's + 70's rock. ie. Gonna take band this semester? -It's like hmm, I think I'll learn to bang on some bongos (hollow tree works better) and hop around like a freakin chimp! What kid wouldn't be like: AWESOME, can't wait to tell Dad I looove private school :P LOL! -Mav-

  • Nearly 30 years after this song first came out, and, I still get chills everytime I hear it.

    NEVER SURRENDER! HOLD YOUR HEAD UP HIGH!

    Damn straight.

    Thanks for posting this.

  • I saw them in 1981 -- I was in love with Ric and his "multitalentedness" :) STILL love Triumph to this day-- hearing any of their songs just makes my heart soar and I feel 30 years younger-- you can't buy that kind of feeling anywhere! Thank You, Canada, for giving us TRIUMPH!!! ♥

  • seen these guys with foghat back in the mid 80's in wichita. i was young but that concert stands out as one of the best i've been to and i've been to alot.very good band.

  • I have seen these guys 4 times since 77 yeah I'm old but young and cool that's what might 4 children and their friends say I LOVE ROCK N ROLL,AND TRIUMPH IS RIGHT THERE.

  • @JohnnieHollywood ;;; Totally Agree Mr Hollywood... Extremely obscure from the public eye...Rik Emmett is such the Awesome Player.. ( I guess they really never focused on being in the Main steam ).

  • this is REAL music --- not shit thats played today. --- please do a reuion tour!!!!!

  • this was my time in highschool , awesome party memories, the best of times.

  • A band that should definitely have a comeback tour.

    

  • Awesome tune, my favorite Triumph album. Great guitar solo as well.

  • 2 people have no clue at all.

  • i love this band, helped me get through some hard times :)

  • Great song, great band!

  • @TaosZenShaman

    Poetic license here, as it was actually silver pieces, but the point still stands. :)

  • Triumph > Rush

  • Triumph Rocks just like there name sake the motorcycle.I still must say I loved growing up in the 70's 80's after Guns and Roses split rock went to the trash forever !

  • who the fuck is justin beiber

  • @andromalius2002 ummmm.. Don't you mean, "What the hell is a Beiber?" LOL!!! (Ozzy Ozbourne quote ) and, who CARES about Justin Beiber-- Canada made a slight mistake with him, but they SURE got it right with TRIUMPH! :) .. And RUSH!

  • justin bieber ruined the Awesome Bands from Canada streek :/

  • My first concert DOG, I was in 7th grade.

  • actually think how many bands ever made thier videos LIVE, and if you dont know the studio verision these videos are NOT the studio version ,yes it likely staged audience but I seen em live and they sound this Good live. you know how rare that is if you seen a lot of bands or preformed.

  • Damn those guys slay!!!!

  • Never Surrender to the N.W.O.

    Go ahead and shoot me in the back of the head.= PARADISE

  • Never Surrender to the N.W.O.

  • How can Michael Jackson's "You Are Not Alone" show up on the playlist when this song is on? Seriously???

  • My original vinyl copy of never surrender had been played so many times,it turned into a slinky

  • Comment removed

  • So underated as a band . Their CD is one of my favorites to drive to. Maybe people out there don't do this? I feel an ENORMOUS sense of freedom and rebellion driving down beautiful, empty roads to their songs. Maybe I'm alone in this? *Sigh*

  • @TheWaterlily2012 No, you're not alone. I still put in my copy of 'Never Surrender' occasionally, and, hit the road.

  • it´s a great song, one of my favorite songs, but the time´s going on! WATCH "Never Surrender - Rik Emmett & Dave Dunlop live 4/9/11" "RIK, PEDE PRA SAIR"

  • Total memories of my youth!

  • great song and video brings back memories

  • I'm confused. The singer looks and plays like a younger Alex Lifeson and sounds like Geddy Lee, but the drummer looks like Geddy Lee channeling Weird Al, and the bassist looks like Neil Peart from the 2112 days. Damn crafty Canadians, I bet they're all the same people. lol just kidding don't get your panties all in a bunch, eh?

  • @johnwmcd These guys sound nothing like Rush, totally different animal. But yeah i hear what you are saying.

  • 1 Person Surrendered

  • What idiot hit the dislike link??

  • this band is really awesome there is just something different here that no band can match

  • Never Surrender!! How could you not LOVE this song?!! 70's and 80's rock bands!!!! Hold your head up high!!! Lvn' life!

  • i saw triumph on this tour (never surrender) at the checkerdome in st.louis mo. kick ass show! now this was when music was at its best.

  • I grew-up listening to Triumph. I even got to see them live at th '83 US Festival. And i have to say that Rik Emmet has to be the most under-rated guitar god ever!

  • iv'e been

    missing you all my life

    Genaro Leyva ♥

  • I know this song from my dad :L i'm only 14, but at least i undertsand and appreciate the genre of Rock N Roll, This band isn't very well known, but i say, that they are 1 of the greatest bands to ever set foot on earth.

  • Are they considered Christian rock?

  • @WMsquared NOOOOOOOO! They're Canadian.

  • @Tauron68 That doesn't answer my question. Are you saying there are no Christians in Canada? It just seems like all their songs have Christian-based messages.

  • I highly doubt there was any lip-syncing any more than he was air guitaring this one. AWESOME band who never got the recognition they deserved. Still in my player.

  • Triumph is a badd ass band but I'm pretty sure that he's lip syncing this one.

  • so happy my coach showed this band to us

  • i seen them 2 times and i still love them id go see them again

  • Saved my life more than once.

  • 4o\m/

  • I forgot how good they were. I loved them in the 80's, still love them.

  • GREAT MEMORIES WITH THIS CANADIAN BAND THE BEST , FROM A BIG TIME FAN SINCE 1987

  • AWESOME!!!!! I really NEEDED this song today!!! I know to NEVER SURRENDER!!! these guys were sooo freakin' talented!!! goes to show that even if you're incredibly talented.. it's sad you can't get no love from the record companies..

  • JUST THANKS.

    

  • Who played the game on the back of their album "Just A Game"? This band takes me back to when the big picture didn't matter.

  • this was best of the 80s

  • As am I !!!!!!!!!

  • very good.

  • ¿De qué lugar y año es el concierto del que se grabó este video?... Gracias por su atenta respuesta, =)

  • Such a great vocals song... By of course a great singer!!!!

  • When I was in High School, Triumph was on the verge of being an International Supergroup. For what ever reason, They just didn't make it. They damn sure had the talent for it. I miss those days.......

  • Who is the motherfucking dick head that doesn't like this? -.-

  • @MrZakman2345 Too Funny......LMFAO!!!!!!!!

  • @MrGus1966 cool cool

  • 2 retards pressed the wrong button

  • Tonight, I an 18 year old young man, who has love for music and its dying talents have here by sworn to spread the word that is Triumph, may good music thrive, and may talent stay alive \M/ soldier of this lost generation...OUT!!!

  • try cage the elephant

  • classic from triumph

  • aaaaaaaaah take the boring crap music from today away from me please! Give me rock'n roll and all the good music :(

  • This is it! Not easy to forget...I'll keep my dreams ALIVE!

  • Way awesome than all the rap i am seeing hogging the top spots these days!!

  • Two many peeps compare this to Rush. Ummm, ok Ric sounds like Geddy at times. Okay it's a three-piece from Canada. Joking aside, there is no comparison...Rush kicks their butt every time. But hold up! I like Triumph too!

  • Great song on a terrific album. 

  • I've said this for years, and I'll continue to say it:

    It's NOT filesharing that's killing the music business... it's the music business itself that's killing the music business!

    Rock on Triumph!!

  • @chrisloganmusic I agree with you brother!

  • @MrTomh77 same for me. Then when I picked up a couple of their albums (cassettes) I discovered they also played Magic Power and Fight the Good Fight.  I was very new to music at the time.

  • who agrees music sucks these days? and who do you blame for this outcome?

  • @suspensiondude The most popular way to hear new music at the time was MTV. So when they quit playing rock videos and went to grunge and then hip hop it killed all music with talented musicians. So I blame MTV.

  • I always use to think of them as being great, but never up to the standards of Rush.

    Now that you listen to both of them deades later and you notice one of the big differences between the bands is that Rush used the new and trendy electronic keyboards quite a bit.

    Triumph is more of standard classic Rock sound!

    Not that I'm bashing Rush. Love Rush. Triumph just used more of the core Rock and Roll style to be great! Timeless.

  • This was the first Triumph song I ever heard. Somewhere's around 1982. I was hooked on Triumph after hearing Never Surrender.

  • Strange... There was a time when MTV used to play this video regularly... Really, I'm not kidding... I saw it with my own eyes.

  • @michaelvj50 I am putting this on a list of my fave vids from 83 right now

  • @michaelvj50 Yeah, back when MTV was....*gasp*....MUSIC videos

  • Rick Emmett is one of the most underrated rock singers of all time.

  • @GadgetsGo Gadgets, you are so right!!! Mili, Stevie Perry and many others cant hold a candle to him.................

  • Comment removed

  • @GadgetsGo Rik Emmett one of the most underrated guitarist's of all time.

  • rock will be in my mind for the rest of my life.

  • i hate that the music these days are the "most popular". the only reason i say that is because i counted how many people in my class like rap pop or rock. there is 34 kids in my class and 30 of my class mates like rap and pop better than rock.say WHY to whoever likes rap and pop over rock, and give peace to those that do like classical rock over the fake, not real, made up junk. rock will never die believe me.and i am 14. go classical rock and suck it rap and pop.ROCK WILL LIVE FOREVER.

  • awesome talent, just dont let him talk and especially tell jokes

  • amazing song. my suggestion would be to block out the 80s crap video/styles/mullet and just listen to the song. Especially the mullet. Block that sh*t out. Great tune. Saw Rik doing a solo show a couple years ago in Austin and he was great. Here we go: best Triumph songs are Blinding Light Show, Fight the Good Fight, Never Surrender, Hold On. Too many others are absolutely fantastic, but those are my top four. Bring it on, MFs!

  • I grew up during this error and i would never regret any of this music it was the best of all time!!

  • Old music is the best,it always gets better with age and BEER.

  • 159 likes 1 whom surrendered. !

  • @Traveller1612 I vote for creativity

  • Ric Emmett could really rip a solo back in the day.....

  • Could Rik BE any cuter ?

  • How can you not like this song? AWESOME!!!!

    Triumph was underated back in the 80's and is nearly forgotten about these days but will live forever in the fortunate ones that actually still listen and enjoy their music today and always.

  • who hit the dislike button by accident ?

  • Never surrender !!!!!!!!!!!! 

  • I remember the days...you either loved Triumph or hated them. Half of the haters thought they were a Rush clone. Emmett is a great guitarist and I've always enjoyed him.

  • To bigpoppa: 80's rock bands were into solid music and lyrics. Lots of light shows and great performances. But they were not into all the glitz and stage productions like Madonna and Lady Gaga and the rest. Just great music sold it. Back then we had lots of Canadian bands that were very popular like Ruch, Loverboy, and Triumph. That is why I only listen to classic 60's, 70's, 80's, and 90's rock.

  • No matter how old you are, it's never too late to listen to GOOD music.

  • Somewhere around 90 or 91 when everything became "My life sucks" and "I'm such a whiner"and flannel invaded stages around the world. In some ways, I think the 80s over powered listeners (didn't bother me...lol). The musicianship was so off the charts, that the average person didn't feel they could ever be that good (come on, listen to Rik's voice). Sadly today there is NO inspiration. Everyone sounds the same, acts the same, melts down the same. Very sad.Rock on fellow rockers. Peace.

  • But there is tons of great stuff out there... you just have to know where to look. Lots of great stuff came out last year... 2010 was good to me :)

  • @poprocks62 Please elaborate ? Good music last year /Lady gaga/ Justin beber /

    EVERYTHING CHANGED WHEN FLUORIDE WAS ADDED TO THE WATER

    IT CALCIFIES THE PINEAL GLAND, WHICH IS WHERE CREATIVE THOUGHT COMES FROM

    IT ALSO MAKES PEOPLE MORE PLACID, AND MORE WILLING TO DO WHAT THEIR LEADERS SAY

    EVEN IF THEY'RE CORRUPT.........

  • @Traveller1612 no... it creates an early onset of puberty. word up

  • you can't dislike good music :)

  • I grew up in the golden age of rock and roll and never knew it. Figured it would just keep getting better and better. Thanks to corporate America the kids now days have to listen to the no talent rappers redo's.

    Thank you Triumph for making the 80's memorable.

  • @viktims you said it! Corporations have taken over everything including music and the product sucks! I'm in my 40's now and remember the classics as if it were yesterday. Keep the candle burning bright for this era of sound.

  • Amazing song from the other Canadian band! one of my faves...band and song! Rik Emmett was so damn good! Moore was not only a good drummer but an great vocalist ttoo.I saw them in Philly- Nov 1986. Still one of the best lives show I've seen! A class act period! This is such a powerful, inspiring song!

  • Thank you for ROCKING me through the 80's!!!

    Great stage shows!! Loved every minute!!!

    Still a TRIUMPH fan in 2011..!! :-)

  • @djreneerocks

    Still living by the lessons laid down in some of the most rockin songs of ALL TIME!!! 2011 and I'm re-living the Texas Jam of days gone by.  Keep Rockin My Friends!!!

  • One of the most underrated guitarist on the planet. Rik Emmett is one of the reasons I play guitar and strive every day to become a better guitarist.

  • You just dont see this kind of depth out of a 3 person band anymore, Rick was hell on that guitar man!

  • Oh and guitaristgx, wasnt calling u a fuck. Was just poor gramar, i am an 80's rock n roll fool lol. Its is up to u! Go gettem! Im dead serious, i tried and failed but about to work with my old band mates to try again but my chance is sooo limited, u can make a difference! Make us proud! Im serious! I will give u all my guitar tricks! I used to charge but we need real players out there now not these posers!

  • @MegaCarldude you are a smart man.Someone who gets it!

  • some of the best

  • i hate being 18 in the year 2011, when all the music i hear around me is boring nowadays. this stuff is AMAZING. i had to grow up with backstreet boys and now justin beiber. why the hell couldn't i have grown up with everyone listening to amazing music like this??????

  • @GuitaristGX try some Jack Green, "I call, No Answer"

  • @GuitaristGX Hey dood, u have the key to changing this! Ur the youth of America, take the reigns and rock us back on track! Fuck nirvana and pearl jam, foo fighters BS, the killers of 80's rock. We r counting on you! Get some of ur bros together and rock it out, get in the clubs and get experieance and write songs from ur heart that rock w melody. Make sure to find a producer to ensure u dont make the garage band mistakes; u need melody and build ups w strong hooks! Now GO get it damn! Fuck!!

  • @GuitaristGX You could always be the one that brings on the next metal age. Cheers and best wishes fellow rocker...and just remember, it doesn't matter how old you are (I'm 50). Keep on rockin' brother and the music keeps rollin'. Peace.

  • @GuitaristGX It makes me smile when I hear young people appreciating great music !! I was 14 in 1982 and was lucky enough to see these guys 6 times and it was amazing. Even back then though Triumph was so underrated, but I empathize with you having to grow up with the shit they have now. Growing up in the 80's and 90's was amazing. All we can do now is to share great music like this with our children and hope and pray the next generation will bring it back !! Rock on \m/

  • @GuitaristGX

    Better late than never. Enjoy!

  • @GuitaristGX Does it really matter what everyone else listens to? I was born in 89, always listened to stuff like this, Rush, 80's R.E.M, UFO and the like. Truth be told, there's always going to be bad popular music. But no matter the status symbol, you gotta listen to what you listen to. The outcast aspect of it only makes it better in my opinion, almost like a secret society without the brainwashed fuckery.

  • @GuitaristGX i listen 2 icp but i like this music 2 n im a juggalo n ur right music now is gay mostly except 4 the wiked shit
