RUSHHEAD666 Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 I've been in a Triumph, Kansas mode this week. Both bands are awesome. Which band wrote the best version of the song entitled "Hold On?" It has to be TRIUMPH for me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

troutman Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 I love both bands but I cannot compare the two. They are totally different bands!! I do like Triumph more but would like to see them up against something heavier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gompers Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 I have to admit, I like the Triumph version much more. I like Kansas a lot, but their Hold On just doesn't have the oomph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dude...calling Triumph Prog is a stretch, don't ya think? And Yes's Hold On is a great tune. Hey dude! You could argue that for sure. Triumph started out as a hard rock band but I think they evolved into a prog lite rock band in the early Eighties. Then of course they turned into another commercial rock pop band after their "Stages" live record. Was "Thunder Seven" considered commercial rock? Perhaps. Overall I would consider Triumph progressive. This could make for a good debate. Maybe I am wrong but for some reason I always thought Triumph was progressive rock. I always thought they were trying to emulate RUSH at a lower level of musicianship since Rik and Co. were also a three piece out of Canada. "Always the bridesmaid never the bride." So who is a better guitar player? Alex or Rik??? Earl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
