whitefang Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 So from what I gather, at least for ONE track, it's sort of a Triumph reunion. That IS interesting! I always kinda liked that band, and wondered whatever became of them. Whitefang I started out with NOTHING...and I still have most of it left!

Danzilla Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 I've loved Triumph and a bunch or Rik's solo albums. Somehow, I keep missing out on his solo tour dates when he comes to the area. Thanks for the heads-up on the new project.

02R96 Posted July 28, 2016 Author Share Posted July 28, 2016 He fronted one of the biggest Canadian powertrio's back in the 80's. The man can play; he's got some serious chops. You might want to check out some YouTube videos. Hold On was one of their biggest hits. Dan "I hate what I've become, trying to escape who I am..."

Dannyalcatraz Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 These are the Triumph songs I remember most fondly: [video:youtube]https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Pz26fcmq3S8 [video:youtube] [video:youtube]https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=BT1ircqQklo [video:youtube]https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ufiUD5sEPSs [video:youtube]https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=vpAde4GAgFI Sturgeon's 2nd Law, a.k.a.

splitting hare Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 He fronted one of the biggest Canadian powertrio's back in the 80's. The man can play; he's got some serious chops. You might want to check out some YouTube videos. Hold On was one of their biggest hits. Serious chops, indeed! Midsummer's Daydream - the obligatory classical guitar solo in the middle of practically every arena rock show (as Rik sort of describes it) is a great example of his versatility. I always used to enjoy the articles he wrote for GP every month as well. [video:youtube] Oh, and he has a helluva voice, too!

desertbluesman Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 Never liked hair metal (80's metal) (or any metal truthfully) (I did like Satriani and Van Halen, but I would not call them hard core metal, more like hard core hard rock). So that is why I never heard of them or him. Never said they could not play well, never said metals guys in general could not play well, I just do not like that style of music much for my listening pleasure. dbm If it sounds good, it is good !! http://www.soundclick.com/bands/default.cfm?bandID=143231&content=music Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larryz Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 +1 not really knowing the band or Rik, I didn't care all that much for their music even though they are very talented. After a lot of talking to get past, I think Rik does a really great job on Midsummer's Daydream! Take care, Larryz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
