Triumph - Q107 Hall Of Fame - Rock and Roll Machine

[taxford]

Phil X is fucking nuts on guitar but it is big shoes to fill when you are talking about Rik!! AND Phil hasnt accepted my friend request on facebook!!!! WTF!! Phil I am a fan! hehehe!

[charger25p]

where the fk is Rick ?Triumph Rick?..k thumbsin down..not even close on lead guitar..

[VinnyLLL]

I like the ad for The Bay!

[headstones]

Is that Rick Santers on one of the guitars?

[daddy1124]

@headstones Yes It Is

[11pokertime]

Ric Emmett is the "Rock & Roll Machine", no one can replace him on Triumph.

[Pistoljonny1]

Gil Moore was the incredible genius behind Triumph, but it never would have worked without Rik 'The Rocket' Emmett as you can see here!

[sachmo912]

NEVER, Ever do this song again without Rik, plus who let Bach out on drunkin Karaoke night

[normyy2001]

hey thats not RIK

[n2112bytor2112p]

When did they get another guitarist? I remember in the 90s when rush was thinkong about adding a member

[toefur69]

Not Triumph without RIK "the Rock n Roll Machine" EMMETT!!!!!!!!!!

[Butterface06]

If you want to hear it done right, youtube has a video from the US Festival, watch Rik Emmet at his best.

[scorpionkings]

lol this isn't Triumph

[GCCBytor]

Very Cool! 

[laybackbarrel]

yea sebastard blew his nut on the first verse. What a amateur move. From then on he is out slightly off key and sometimes way off time (usually early) kook.

[stoneguy66]

what an insult...bach didn't have a f'n clue what he was singing...a complete loser...gil made bach sound like shit.

[davehutchinson67]

God I miss Jeff Healey...what a talent...he will be missed.

[Acekicken]

Sebastian Bach is absolutely one of the best front men in the world.



[67StratSlayer]

@Acekicken Great frontman....AND it only took him about 40 seconds to blow out his voice..... ;)

[Acekicken]

@67StratSlayer Check out his new CD Angel Down or 2005's Absence opf empathy

His Voice is better then evea,Look up American Metalhead,Stuck Inside,Blade or By your side Bach is as alway's #1

[iatemine]

WHy did they have Sabastian Bach sing? They didn't need him and the drummer sings better anyways! What a waste of a good song

[geridg]

@iatemine : It's just a way of saying here's a successful guy in music(at the time lol) that loves Triumph as well as all the rest of us. Know what I mean? They do this kind of thing at these award shows all the time. Your right though; Sebastian Bach was and will always be an bunghole! Phil X is the coolest dude on that stage.

[assemblyguy]

Sebastian Bach really is nowhere near as good as he thinks he is. lousy vocals, personality and attitude. He had potential but that little school kid whiny voice really worked only for seriously off-key tunes. It just goes to show, you don't have to be a good singer to succeed.

[assemblyguy]

Without Rik's vocals, the music is missing a vital part. Phil X, whoever he is, may be a performer, but he certainly cannot fit the role for triumph, but I still have my cds, so I good with that. BTW. where is PX now?

[iatemine]

@assemblyguy Rick was a truely vital and defining part of Triumph with a classicly trained flair for sure. But Phil X is a major talent who is running two successful Bands in Los Angeles now . This Video is pretty old anyways. Where is Triumph and Rick Emmet now anyways?

[holyswordsmanoffaith]

@assemblyguy Look him up.

[GeauxSaints121]

I am a huge Rik Emmett fan but don't knock Phil X for joining up with Triumph (I know I certainly would have and all the bashers on here would have too) besides Phil makes the best videos on youtube.

[JokerFan1138]

I guess when you are as great as rik emmit it takes three to replace you. And by the way even with three replacing him I did not hear the great guitar solo that made rock n roll machine one of the best live hard rock songs of all time. Long live rik emmit!!!!!!!!

[jacksedit]

that solo blew more than bach

[kamaboko1]

@jacksedit

Nothing about it blew. He played it note for note. If you think it blew, blame Rik Emmett...he wrote it.

[jacksedit]

no he didn't... he just doesn't have rik emmets style... or amplifier for that matter

[kamaboko1]

Please point out the glaring differences with specific times.

[jacksedit]

i wrote a really longass response but it froze at "comment posting" and im not gonna re-write it so basicly this solo is only the 1st 50 seconds of the original 3 minute + solo and he was too repeptitive when he shredded i.e

the original format:

1213121516183939551231

this idiots:

1212121212131313131414

he did a simple version which left out most of the key points and when he missed notes you could hear him mute (by mistake) as opposed to rik's purposeful fret noises that make it so original

[Jephryej]

Sebastian Bach is an embarrassment to rock and roll. To think that Phil X could be upstaged... lets see the same guys that made the Star Wars Kid famous find a way to edit Bach out of this vid. And

tmaras64 you are RIGHT on the money about Phil. Go look up some recent vids that were shot in Kitchener back in August... friggin magic

[joant1221]

Gotta get three guys to try to make up Rik's part of the band. Not even close.

[rubadee]

agree tmaras64 - Phil X is the Rock N Roll Machine. Phil could play this solo when he was a little boy.

[bigdzzplace]

Sebastion is lame just like when he played with Billy The Kid..wish i could find pics from those days...ya Sebastion was a hairspray boy!

[Acekicken]

Bach Rules, Kid Wikkid pics are not hard to find the guy has been a star for over 20 years & hee's still KICKING ASS!

[tmaras64]

Lets get real people...the only reason Philx didnt play the entire solo is because it was live and not the venue for a 5 minute guitar solo...if any of you think Philx couldnt play the solo you are badly mistaken...plays it better than Rick....Philx IS the Rock N Roll Machine...

[kevmarkpat]

Wow I love Triumph and honestly this really blew. Not even close without Emmett.

[Cabaret43]

Sebastian Bach and not Rik Emmitt??wtf were they thinking?...Emmitt is Triumph....if he was dead hed be rolling in his grave

[boulderfrog]

If I recall correctly, Rik was still on the outs with Mike and Gil at the time, and his solo career was going pretty well, while Triumph was doing nothing really.

[progyrocky]

The guitar player, Phil X, is actually an incredible player ! Rick Emmitt would tell you himself.....Tommy Lee went on record to say Phil is his favorite guitar player in the world.

[VeldigdeiligfraNorge]

god jul

[VeldigdeiligfraNorge]

god jul

[pistolgrip69]

Rik you look different, 2 of you?

Not one of you would attempt the solo?

Can't cut it?

This is not Triumph it is the Rock and Roll machine trying to stay alive without Rik.

[deldine70]

I'm sorry Sabastian cock-rock-I mean Bach should start a band with lare ulrich of Metallica, Imagine being at the rehearsals!! throw in mogg and Schenker from ufo for good measure, they wouldn't make it past the first song!!

[GordonYYZ]

Whoa, Triumph playing with Sabastian Bach? And with Jeff Healy and Weird Al Yankovic introducing them? WOW, THATS AWESOME!!!!!!

[Papillon78]

This is great. Sebastian Bach Rocks!!

[dogrockit]

now lets all go home and have abeer eh?lol

[brywool]

You gotta be kiddin' me, without Emmett, they suck. Embarrassing.

[ninjajo11]

I am a HUGE Triumph fan, but actually like Bach up front. This rocks hard.

[Acekicken]

They Sound "AWESOME" with Sebastian...

[scorpsman]

its like u2 w/o bono....journey w/o steve p. gnr w/o slash.....not the same,not even close

[WoFat69]

agreed EXCEPT that ANYTHING w/o "slash" is always better; what an over-rated hack slash is!!!!!!!!!! He should take some lessons from Rik Emmett...

[25x100]

That version was fuckin cool.

[poisonpinto7]

Does anyone Remember Sebastian when He was in

Kid Wickid And used to play this song At the

Gasworks???

I can;t belive He;s from this shit Hole City of Peterborough......

This Vid Rocks!! Ya Rik Emmett Is a Big part of this song..:(

[honk2x4]

This video is a discrace

[seroquel69]

sebastian butchers this song he a fuckin hasbeen

[honk2x4]

Thanks for the post. However, this episode of Triumph is a total disgrace to the nature and spirit of Triumph. Seb really made this a total train wreck.

[Joehvy65]

That is Sebastian Bach from Skid Row singing the guitar Blows Rik Emmett is and always will be TRIUMPH. You can't Replace him only copy and a Poor Version at that...

[z1chuckster]

I can`t believe they left the best part of the song out ! It`s like getting a piece of cake , but there is no icing on top ! I want my fu*king icing dammit !

[onelove51]

why did Rik leave Triumph anyways??

[mamasboyl]

Its not Triumph without Rik.

[900bug]

NO ROCKET, ITS NOT TRIUMPH!

[Bazerrk]

oh Baz's hair is fantastic!

[Acekicken]

Triumph & Sebastian Bach!

Now that was KICK ASS!!!!!!!!

[frank2727]

Sorry but that aint TRIUMPH very sad... Rick Emmett is the heart and sole of Triumph ....

[irishken2727]

this is crap, guys stop bein babies, get back together, grow up. The world is ready to see all 3 of u guys jammin. I know i would pay for a triumph reunion tour before i pay to see the police or genesis. Canada Rock

!!!

[madcrabber1113]

When was this?I really wish they would just get back together already!

[Mrwinker32]

lmao they didn't play the solo

[brianczaw]

they didn't play the whole solo probably 'cause he couldn't. I kinda liked bach's vocals though..

[talos41]

Wowser... I have never seen the 2nd incarnation of triumph... I thought this was a spoof when they first came out... Oh well... I am grateful to have seen the "right version" ... This sounds like a lot of grandstanding guitar noise...not music.. As with any group, it's hard to replace the first good set...

[musicasua]

Triumph without Rik....errrr...I think not! what a pile of crap, not even S.Bach could change that and Phil X??? Give me a break!!

[804pillow]

when you are a SANTERS fan like me,out far away in the Netherlands;you are lucky to see any material,containing Rick Santers.Thanx so much for posting.

[sauceboy71]

Ric is great, but PLEASE!!!! Phil X is.........Well, if you choose to jump outta the 70's Phil is a whole other story. Phil can in any style, flatten Ric, Eddie, or who ever the heck else is out there.

[johnpstringer]

Ric is the guitar playing machine, Period!!

[aitraining]

Wow. Horrible! Doing this song without Rik is a total sin! Why do this tune? Speechless. I can't even watch the rest. Ughhh! Search for the US festival version 1983 here. Delete this $hit! It's like Van Halen without Eddie. Blasphomy

[budobg]

agree. they should have put their differences aside for this award and show. To hear rik play this live is extacy to the mind body and spirit. I know I saw them live and it was one of the best concerts I've seen. A rock trio of the 70's.

[balloonpopgirl]

This is CRAP!!!!! Why and How in the Hell did Mike and Gil do this??? Me being a True Triumph Fan (seeing EVERY 80's Tour), This is Blasphemous!!! OMG!!!

[fasxylo]

Its amazing what big shoes Rik left to fill (Phil). I agree that without him, its just a bunch of guys playing a Triumph song. That said Bach is an awesome singer and Phil X an incredible singer in thier own right. - But not Riks replacement. No way !!!

[beome]

on triumphs website talks about the band are on talking terms.and Gil is helping rik with his solo album.its a good start.who know where this may lead to.perhaps a new triumph album with rik?we can all dream.

[whoreratio]

oh please geezuz, I have no life and I pray to you oh holy god of rock music that Rik and the others will mend their wayz and give me my shallow life back !

I M nuthing without tRiUmph with riK eMmeTt

save mE !!!

[mwdayv]

ok that isnt triumph and if it was wouldnt it make sense to do a song gil sang on the record and have gil sing it so if u werent watching it might sound a little bit like the band that got the honor?

[giuseppemare]

Not to take away what Mike and Gill contributed to Triumph but Rik is the prime mover without a doubt. Why are these guys no longer friends. Music is the luck of friends!! Everybody who "knows" knows this.

[parrdr3]

No Rik, No Triumph!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[marspyramid]

Triumph without Rik is like COurtney Love without STD's. It just aint the same.

[kshavo]

No Rick - No take!!

[mikeyeahwhatever]

sabastian back is a fucking dick!

[djdave2010]

Complete and utter garbage...

[aklark]

The only reason to listen to this song is for the solo

section, where the hell was the solo section??

They could have played any other song from Triumph

for time sake, but you don't play Rock&Roll Machine

with-out the solo, for godsake guys what the hell were you thinking??? long live Rik!!

[hotelsinger]

Hey....who is that in the jean shorts? Is that..Phil X? Phil, that's awesome. You never told me. Nice shredding though. ;)

[theaccused2]

sorry rik if u had to see that

[hectorcelestino]

the original triumph was only made of of 3 members not 5 or 6. Sebastian sucks, he cant even play the guitar like Rik Emmett.

[livinfree123]

STINKS w/o RE.

[lizzies666]

Sad, I agree. It's more like umph without Rik.

[wongsol]

Pathetic...simply pathetic

[pinthisman]

On the Triumph cd Classics there is a live version of Rock and Roll machine, if you want to hear it done RIGHT!

[pmorosin]

I don't think that is a live version

[styx8]

@pinthisman nah that's not a live version

[Straydogger]

@styx8 Definetly live version.......

[styx8]

@Straydogger I feel i must have been being sarcastic since that is clearly live haha

[gemli1968]

Sebastian should have hit gil in the head while swingin the mic.Might have knocked some sense in him and kept Rik from leaving!!

[triumph1188]

pretty much impossible task for Gil to do, since his father died that year and he was a wreck, the record company was putting all kinds of pressure on them, and things were falling apart...not Gil's fault and things just happened the way they did, and Classics doesnt have the live version, the studio version has like a 4 minute solo on it, live its like 8, check out Stages if you want the live cut

[murphj4]

Lets face it! Without Rik ( Rick ) ... it's garbage!!!

What a waste of disk space!!!

[metalpalace]

Baz rules ass he is the best rock and roll front man ever.

[speedinjection]

Damn bach certainly gets around!!

Thanks sebastian for keeping the killer music alive!!!

[violettown]

Triumph? Yeah, right. This is pathetic.

[hystat]

Mr. Bierk should've learned all the lyrics. OK vid tho' thanks for posting!

[Novaheart1998]

Without Rick its not Triumph... its just umph....

[Kingsnake77]

This just plain sucks.

Without Rik it just isn't worth it...

[grgtys]

Why is Sebastian Bach playing with Gil & Mike? :(

[ihearsomethingcoming]

Where's rik?

[AAAmartin6fan]

Ah the memories of sittin back in the recliner watchin classic rock and smokin out of the good ol' bong....Those days are gone but NOT forgotten

[DJSmoothie]

Bach best front man in ROCK, period.

[Electrify85]

Just fucking cool!!!
