I'm not sure if this has already been shared (if it has, my apologies).

 

Rik Emmett, the former guitarist and singer of Triumph, has a new album coming out that features Alex Lifeson on a couple of tracks, and a few tracks with James LaBrie. Also, there is one track that is a new Triumph song.

 

Sounds interesting - check it out: http://www.rikemmett.com/

Ok. I have no idea who Rik Emmet is. But its cool that Alex is recording again, even tho its on someone else album.

Never heard of Triumph?

 

Here's Rik playing and singing Red Barchetta:

I mean he's a good singer and all but whoever thinks this sounds better than ol school Geddy is really wrong!

Also, did he record the vocals while he was taking a dump? :D

Could this become a supergroup and tour? Add a kickass drummer and you have it. Call it TriRush or Rushumph.

Rik's been playing with guitarist Dave Dunlop for a while now. He's the one in the video saying nice things about Rik when Rik starts joking about how talented he is. I'd imagine Emmett playing with the other Triumph guys before trying to form a superband...however, he's tried that before but the other two guys have always been reluctant. Former Triumph drummer Gil Moore is busy with Metalworks Studios anyway. They did play some festival nearly a decade ago though. Another thing I can easily imagine is a gig here and there with the three Triumph members + Dave Dunlop...also with a few appearances from anyone involved with this new album. Including Alex. These are only my guesses but I'm a pretty smart guy so you should listen to me. ;)

No it's not better than the original, not in any area. I don't think he's trying to beat it though, he's just paying homage.
