BraveWords caught up with legendary Triumph drummer/singer Gil Moore recently to talk about the star-studded tribute album, Magic Power: All Star Tribute To Triumph, which will be released on June 6th on CD with a 12 page booklet and as a double LP gatefold edition. Pre-order here.
The 15-track album features an amazing collection of musical firepower, including Dee Snider, Sebastian Bach, Nancy Wilson, Joey Belladonna, Jeff Keith plus drummers Kenny Aronoff and Tommy Aldridge, and guitarists Bumblefoot, Paul Gilbert, Nita Strauss. The project was conceived by renowned producer Mike Clink – who has produced classic recordings for Guns N’ Roses, Mötley Crüe and Whitesnake.
“It really is touching and humbling, because obviously, like, we’re certainly not arrogant enough to think anybody should ever do a tribute to us,” Triumph’s Gil Moore tells BraveWords’ Streaming For Vengeance, which airs at 9AM EST tomorrow (May 29th). “One of those things you never consider. You start a band, and you’re just trying to play another job at a high school gym or a local bar, and somehow get a little bit ahead. And then the bands that are in that 0.01%, they get actually lucky and actually get to play concerts and then bigger concerts and then get a record contract and get a gold record and all these things that come along. You know, the Hall Of Fame stuff and all this, and it comes along and then suddenly there’s this tribute record. You just kind of pinch yourself and go, ‘What the heck?’ Like these musicians and singers are incredible in their own right, We’re fans of so many of them, already. Maybe we should have been doing the tribute records to them. So yeah, it’s a once in a lifetime experience. I don’t know how to explain it any better than that. It certainly is a really nice thing.”
The participants are extremely honored to salute Triumph, including Phil X, who went on to say, “It is so incredible to get back to my roots with my brothers, Gil, Mike and Rik. The Triumph fans will love this!”
Enthusiastically, Journey drummer Deen Castronovo commented, “Triumph was a huge influence, no Gil Moore, no Deen Castronovo singing behind a kit.”
Furthermore, Sebastian Bach said, “The music of Triumph will always hold a special place in my heart. I’m super proud to pay tribute to one of my favorite bands of all time…the Rock n’ Roll Machine known as TRIUMPH!”
Originally formed in 1975 and hailing from Mississauga, Ontario, Canada, the trio was always proud of their Great White North roots. And seemingly ever since their inception, Triumph was on the cutting edge of technology when it came to their live show – particularly lighting, sound, and effects.
Sophisticated lasers, pyrotechnics and moving lighting rigs, all computer-controlled – Triumph was one of the first arena rock bands to incorporate all of these elements into their shows. Triumph’s headlining tours were legendary, and the band was featured on many memorable stadium/outdoor shows – including the US Festival, the World Series of Rock, the American Rock Festival and Texxas Jam, Day on the Green, to name but a few.
And now, fans will be able to re-experience Triumph classics in a whole new way – via Magic Power: All-Star Tribute To Triumph.
