@85Funkadelic Hell yea my friend, Rik is kick ass. Lucky enough to see them in Shreveport, Louisiana in 83. You think the vid is kick ass???.you should hear them live!!!!...if you didnt I mean. But you are definitely right, he IS ripping. God speed my friend.
Great song. They don't make music like this anymore. In fact, they don't make any music anymore. Just a bunch of crap. We need bands like this. Music full of energy, meaning, and oh, awesome guitar solos :)
I saw "Triumph" around 1980. "Foreigner" opened, and they turned in a lackluster performance. "Triumph" on the other hand, had the place a rockin' within a couple of songs. Not comparing, just saying that on that night they turned an average show into a great concert.
@dulcimerz2drumstix Thats the way it goes a lot of times, I saw Aerosmith ,Foreigner, Frank Marino & MR,AC/DC,& Walter Egan (Magnet & Steel) in 1978, Guess what ,Foreigner with out the help of the studio was pretty bland,Half the place walked out on Aerosmith ( played at 78 speed & unintelligible)
FM&MH & AC/DC were the show, but not the top of the bill that day/night.
@mongo20166 not to mention while playing such awesome guitar leads at the same time. Many times I have heard people compare Rik Emmett to Eddie Van Halen and they are disappointed when I say that Rik is better. The reason? Did you ever heard Eddie sing while he shredded his strings? No, Never. And when the eighties came around, you didn't see Rik Emmett trade in his guitar for a synthesizer. No offense to Eddie, but Rik can teach him a lesson.
@bertmustin I was born & lived just outside of Buffalo 64 -77 Our family vaca's as kids were mainly spent in, yes,Canada. Traveled over the Grand Island & Peace bridge many a time,I loved Molson,Labatts,Genesee
although Gennies weren't Canadian.We had the French Connection,watched CBC, is the hatred for Americans any better these days ?
@RAV52 LOL that's funny I'm a Canadian but think Pam is much better looking without all that gunk on her face I liked her best when she was Labatt's Blue poster girl back in the day Cheers!
@RAV52 rofl thats the best you could come up with? Pam is hot and you know it... If you really wanna talk about disease infested ugly bitches, lets talk about the cast of jersey shore
Not trying to start another one of those silly back-and-forth arguments about new school music vs. old school music, so please, let's not even go there; however...I would pay TOP dollar, to see ANY of today's artists try to follow these guys on stage--just to get tenfold my money's worth from the assured comedic outcome.
@blackdiamond8 I guess I could see bands like Tool, Avenged sevenfold, Bullet for my valentine, holdin their own,not to start anything or anything & I'm only naming a few & leaving a lot off, I'm 47 & been there,there is some decent shit these days, there was a lot of shit in those days also, Triumph was an exception ,one of the Premium bands of that period.
@tjfreak Tool is hardly a band of 'today', my fellow 'youtuber' and I have seen them live as well as Triumph (both some moons ago); as for the other two bands you mentioned, I know very little about them, but for them to follow Rik Emmett and Triumph on stage, (which means live, of course)--they better have their balls wired tight for that performance, friend. Peace.

It's amazing how bands like Triumph relate to current events and our lives
For me I am so sick of the same old political bull crap
