satchmothesnowdog Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 This is fantastic. When I was in high school back in the 80s, Triumph and Rush were my favorite bands. Emmett and Alex were always two of my favorite guitarists, so this may be something special. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
satchmothesnowdog Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 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: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2uPs3Pk0mrg 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? :DNo 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. Ok... instrumental its kinda good (far away from Rush tho). But his voice.... I dont like it at all...you'd rather listen to Geddy sound like Peter Brady going through puberty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scooch Posted September 20, 2016 Author Share Posted September 20, 2016 Awesome. I noticed on his site he was doing a few acoustic night of triumph shows. That would be kinda cool to see I'm going to see him this Sat night in Plymouth, MA... which is how I stumbled across the fact he was doing the new album (saw it on his web site). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being a fan doesn't mean you have to be a drooling sycophant. I always liked his voive, but the past five or so years he sounds appalling. There's a certain segment of this forum who can see that and admit it, while there's another who thinks he still sounds as great as he did in 1982. THAT is delusional.

THAT is delusional.What if they actually like the way he sounds now? Some newer fans (and older ones) here certainly do. What if they sincerely think he sounds better now than before? I don't, but some here do. Back in '82 I loved Geddy's voice. I thought he sounded awesome but nearly everyone in my class didn't agree with that opinion. They thought I was a bit delusional.

Scooch Posted September 26, 2016 Author Share Posted September 26, 2016 I caught Rik Emmett's show this past Saturday night and it was great. His voice may be lower but it's still in great form. And he still plays a mean guitar. He did a ton of Triumph tunes - Hold On, Fight The Good Fight, Magic power, Somebody's Out There and my favorite of the night - Suitcase Blues. He joked around and offered a few entertaining stories throughout the night. The best part was he came out about 30 minutes after the show to meet those of us who stuck around. He seems a like a good dude - he posed for pictures and signed stuff for people. If you get the chance to check him out, I highly recommend it! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Verena Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 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/:goodone: Thanks for sharing the news, this will sound amazing! Rik Emmett releasing a new album is great on its own, but the fact that Alex is involved AND a new Triumph song makes it that much better .. Great news, looking forward to it Very well said, Lucas!I'm also looking forward their concerts, whenever possible. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
