Anybody know much about Triumph?

[Wrathchild]

I'm not talking about the bikes or the brand of condoms, but the band. Their song "Troublemaker" is on the Hellraiser III soundtrack and I rather like it .

I know nothing about the band.

 

[Sydo]

I like the bikes. I like using condoms. I like the Hellraiser III soundtrack.

 

[spawn]

I like to triumph over my enemies, see them driven before me, and hear the lamentations of their women!

[Goreripper]

Get either "Allied Forces" or "Rock N Roll Machine".

I wanna know more about them too coz I always see their vinyls really cheap.

 

[Goreripper]

You wanna talk about under-rated guitar players? Check out Rik Emmett's work on anything Triumph did.

 

[TRrEiTxIxRiE DTrash]

Awesome

What style are they? I always imagined them to be AOR-ish metal...

 

[Goreripper]

They are more 70s hard rock with a bit of a prog edge. They were contemporaries of Rush and got compared to them a lot but they were a lot more straight rock than Rush.

 

[spawn]

I think that was the sound of Troops suddenly losing interest

 

[Goreripper]

You can get Triumph albums for about $1 these days. They're definitely worth checking out. They got the Rush tag because they were from Toronto, but they weren't really much like them. Their style is more like AC/DC or Thin Lizzy.

 

[TRrEiTxIxRiE DTrash]

Ah ok Hahaha Spawny!

 

[Wrathchild]

They're Canadian! That automatically makes them cool .
