The bouncing pentatonic triplet run at the end of the solo sounds very similar to a run in the solo for "Jump in the Fire" by Metallica. If I didn't know better, I'd say Mr. Hammett ripped off Mr. Emmett but since it's just such a shred cliche', can anyone really claim ownership to it?
One time Steve Perry was backstage with Emmitt and Steve praised him for the vocal high note in Magic Power and said "how do you get that high note, anyway?". Rik's eyes bugged out and said, "You're asking ME about hitting high notes?" Great stuff. Rik is still considered to be one of the greatest guitarists and performers to ever live.
They killed it at the US Festival live 1983 over bands like Van Halen shocked the crap out us and their fellow performers,so underrated its ridiculous.
@@gridlock1a To you maybe. But who said 'blind?' Successful people often focus on the positive because it is excellent motivation and it's just as factual as a negative views of things. That does not mean that people are incapable of recognizing the negative. It simply isn't helpful or constructive to spend much time on it. Better to just accept the negative and look for whatever positive keeps us enthusiastic. Life is sometimes very hard. Positivity is like a life-raft for the tough times. For Emmett, I believe the value of positivity was instilled by an aunt battling with cancer.
Definitely my favorite. Awesome in Concert! The first time I saw them they hit us with the weirdest lighting I have ever seen. It was green and it flowed over the crowd like paint, it slowly engulfed the entire venue. When it finally covered our section all I could see was the color green, I couldn't see my hand in front of my face. When it was over, all the way out to the car, everything had a green tint to it. 😆
Never Surrender was a good album, but my go to is still Thunder Seven. For such a late album in the band's trajectory, there are plenty of gems on that one.
Its like they are 3 soloists. Basic hard riff and structure and one guy is always background soloing over the top. Bass is doing more than he should, then drummer. Stacked kind of effect.
Rick Emmitt (Vocals and lead guitar) is so underrated it’s not funny. I love Rush but these guys are my favorite Canadian Band. Have you guys done “ Fight the Good Fight” yet?
@@koolkitties8552 It's on the "Surveillance" album. You need to hear the cool "Prologue" right before "Never Say Never" -- has such an amazing build to it then kills it with that intro riff. Brilliant hard rock.
Spell Bound and Time Goes By are great tunes from their Thunder Seven album. Time Goes By showing how good Rik is picking and finger fretting the same notes in the solo
Love Triumph… I think the best song is one most Triumph fans won’t call out. However, “Stranger In A Strange Land” from the Thunder Seven album, in my opinion, is the best total composition of instrumentation, lyrics, and musicianship. It is brilliant, in its subject matter, and groove. And Rik Emmitt’s guitar playing is next level…
When I was a kid, some of my friends/class mates thought Triumph was a pop version of Rush and I almost got into fist fights over it. lol No, no they're not. They're Triumph and they rock. No disrespect to Rush who I also love, but no, this band was their own thing and they were awesome.
Different styles, different stage shows, Triumph did have more Pop songs then Rush, but they could also Rock the hell, while Rush was more Proggy. Slightly different fan bases, but also a group of us in the middle who appreciated both. You hardly ever saw a Jock or Cheerleader type at a RUSH concert, and neery a misfit or outcast showed up at a Triumph concert. Triumph loved blowing things up on stage, RUSH not so much. Both had Incredible Lead Guitarists, and both Geddy and Rik could reach incredible high notes. The only sad thing was that they never ever did a concert together, perhaps they were at festivals the same year, but just once I would of loved to have them sell out Skydome and let 80,000 of us Rock the Evening away., Hell they could of made it a 3 Man Canadian Rock Group day and night by bringing along FM , Klaatu, The Stampeders and Frank Marino and Mahogany Rush as well.
I always thought they were just more hard rock than Rush. I don't think they really ever delved into what I would consider true 'pop' music. For that you've got to look Wham or Air Supply or Phil Collins solo or Steve Perry solo or whatnot. But I have a different definition of pop, so maybe it's just me. And they even had a few proggy songs, with Blinding Light Show being the most notable.
@@RaymondBCrisp I would call those bands you mentioned as Saccharine Ballad bands. So guess it is all in the degree. Power pop maybe, is how I would categorize Triumph, but indeed Triumph had some Hard Rock, Like Rock and Roll Machine, and perhaps their hardest "When The Lights Go Down."
@@toddstevens13 Fight the Good Fight, Blinding Light Show, and Hold On are pretty rockin'. I won't deny they were definitely in the 'mainstream' rock category, meaning they got a lot of air play, but Magic Power is the only poppy (poppish?) rock song by them that I can think of.
@@RaymondBCrisp We just have different ideas about what Pop Rock is. Hold On to me is complete pop rock, as are Never Surrender, Magic Power for sure, Somebody's Out There. Sure there is some guitar on them, but they are to me like all the other hair band era pop rock. We shall agree to disagree, but we both enjoyed them, as part of the incredible Canadian Music of those times.
You guys are so much fun. Probably my favorite reactors on youtube. You guys compliment each other perfectly. Great song that came out in 1979 when I was 9 years old. Great time for music!!
Triumph! "They b preachin" on this one!! ...such feeling!! Also try the song: 'Fight the Good Fight' for a lyrically fueled positive motivation!! (Hold On, Just A Game, Magic Power) All...... good songs.....
@@hmpz36911 Hard telling, depends on live stream theme. Really wanted Styx Blue Collar Man played, well, eventually. Have may songs, but they may never get played.
You guys need to do an ALL Canadian stream in support of our Truckers!! So many great bands: Triumph Chilliwack April Wine Rush BTO The Guess Who Trooper Steppenwolf Harlequin Red Rider ETC!!
And then there is modern Canadian bands.. Sam Roberts, Nickelback, Theory of a Deadman, Arcade Fire, Billy Talent, Default, Our Lady Peace, Sum 41, Finger Eleven, Alexisonfire
I have come to the conclusion that Brad and Lex need to put you on the payroll and just play the songs you suggest. I enjoy your input on this channel.🙂
Triumph has often been referred to as "Rush's better looking cousins," since they were both power trios out of Canada. They had 2 lead singers. The guitarist, Rik Emmett, sings lead here. The drummer, Gil Moore, sings lead on many other songs, and Mike Levine (bass, keyboards) sings backing vocals. I saw them live in Jacksonville in 1985 when Molly Hatchet opened! One of many GA concerts and I ended up Center stage, right there in the action! Awesome band and awesome concert!! 🤘🎸🥁🎸✌
Yes, Lex!! Great great song. I have loved them since 1979. Saw them live on the tour for this amazing album Just A Game. Not one bad song on the whole record. And Rik Emmett is just a KILLER guitar player. Also a terrific writer, singer, and a freakin' handsome dude.
Triumph and Rush both from Canada and in the same era. And like Rush, Triumph also is a 3 man band. Triumph though has 2 lead singers. The drummer also can sing. Follow Your Heart, Spellbound, Allied Forces and Tears In The Rain are a few. Love to hear more Triumph!
Kick ass band! Alot a great songs. Magic power, A world of fantasy, Hold on, Fight the good fight, I live for the weekend, follow your heart, Somebody's out there, Never surrender, Spellbound, are some of their killer jams!
Man, I feel so old when you react to songs I played in cover bands. Don't get me wrong, I love hearing it and your reaction; it's a surreal thing recognizing the amount of time that has past.

Triumph is an amazing band. 3 guys. Incredible voice on the mic, Rik Emmett. His range is phenomenal. The guitar, bass and drums are immaculate. I'm so glad y'all liked it.
Saw Triumph in 1983 or so at Meadowlands Arena in NJ. It was the Thunder 7 tour I believe. It was so loud I think it damaged my ears. They've been ringing ever since. They were amazing.
I used to put this on my plastic record player and dance around with this in my hands!! Singing the lyrics at the top of my lungs!! I was between 10-12 years old! But it never ever gets old!! Music has always been my rock, pun intended!! Lex🥰 Love that you feel this song like many of us do 😍 Gosh, I must have played this 100 times after the first time hearing it!! Great reaction guys!! ❤
These guys are from my hometown and have a music studio 10 minutes or so from my house called 'Metal Works ' near Tornto, Ontario for music students and recording artists. The drummer shows up to local Blues festivals in town and shows his face periodically then takes off.
You both get it, but Lex really gets it deep, that is in understanding why this music is appreciated by so many. I'm lovin this channel more and more. Wow!
I discovered Triumph searching through a record store for a cassette back when cassettes were the thing. Anyway checked out this cassettes called allied forces it was the cover of this cassettes that I thought was cool. Took a chance and bought it. Friends and I back then went out every Friday night we all had cassette players In our cars. That night I drove I had a 1982 Ford Escort, before you make any remarks. It had 4 speakers 200 watts with an amplifier. I slipped in the triumph cassette... we all became huge fans of triumph that night and still are to this day.
I was 15 !!! I sang this song to a girl I was in love 🥰 😍 she never talk to me again !!! Lmfao !!! I guess the ultimatum was too much . Or, she just thought I was crazy !!! Jury still out on that one !!! Hahaha Stay safe 😷🙏
One of my favorite bands. Growing up in Upstate NY only a few hours from Toronto. They were especially huge around this area. Check out World of Fantasy Magic Power Fight the Good Fight Never Surrender ( personal favorite) These were all radio hits with many more. They got a lot of good deep cuts songs also. They are ONE of those bands.
Rick Emmett is one of the most underrated guitarists in Rock n Roll
And vocalists!! I agree 💯
The bouncing pentatonic triplet run at the end of the solo sounds very similar to a run in the solo for "Jump in the Fire" by Metallica. If I didn't know better, I'd say Mr. Hammett ripped off Mr. Emmett but since it's just such a shred cliche', can anyone really claim ownership to it?
Good lord yes!
Rik Emmitt's vocals and guitar are absolutely stunning! I was fortunate to see them several times and he sings just as good if not better live.
One time Steve Perry was backstage with Emmitt and Steve praised him for the vocal high note in Magic Power and said "how do you get that high note, anyway?". Rik's eyes bugged out and said, "You're asking ME about hitting high notes?" Great stuff. Rik is still considered to be one of the greatest guitarists and performers to ever live.
Absolutely!
The best light show on Earth!
I saw them in SA Tx with Molly Hatchet they both killed it
@Kevin Croucher you lucky dog!
They killed it at the US Festival live 1983 over bands like Van Halen shocked the crap out us and their fellow performers,so underrated its ridiculous.
Yes!! I was there, and Triumph blew me away, Rik Emmet is an incredible musician
I was there, and completely agree.
Have the DVD of the show
It was the Zenith of their Career, no doubt.
I was 8 in '83, and I was not there.
Super talented musicians dedicated to positive songs. Hard to go wrong.
Great summation
Good song but I can't support a blind dedication to positivity....that's just stupid

We need more of this music today.
@@s.mcpherson6354 to put it simply positive does not equal better. IMO
Great Canadian trio! Magic power and Follow your heart are another couple of my favorites...❤ from 🇨🇦
These guys were great live. BLINDING LIGHT SHOW was a good one. They could really rock.
Definitely my favorite. Awesome in Concert! The first time I saw them they hit us with the weirdest lighting I have ever seen. It was green and it flowed over the crowd like paint, it slowly engulfed the entire venue.

Triumph "Never Surrender" is another good one.
Yes, Yes, Yes!
Never Surrender was a good album, but my go to is still Thunder Seven. For such a late album in the band's trajectory, there are plenty of gems on that one.
Another great 3-piece Canadian band- happy you've discovered them.
Never understood how these power trios get so much into their sound. Genius! This is a great song, thanks for the recommendation 🙂✌️
Its like they are 3 soloists. Basic hard riff and structure and one guy is always background soloing over the top. Bass is doing more than he should, then drummer. Stacked kind of effect.
Another great Canadian trio rock band.
Saw these guys in '83 at the Cincinnati Gardens with Molly Hatchet. Great band, great song.
Excellent band! Their songs are positive and have meaning, unlike most songs you hear anymore!
Thank you for checking out another Canadian Masterpiece. Rik Emmet's voice is INSANELY good - as is his guitar playing.
They were great in concert. Another great band from Canada. Thank you, Canada.
You two might be the most authentic reactioners out there. Just so decent and honest. And I love how respectful you are to each other.
Awe - my 1st Rock Concert. The Paramount in Seattle 1978
Rick Emmitt (Vocals and lead guitar) is so underrated it’s not funny. I love Rush but these guys are my favorite Canadian Band. Have you guys done “ Fight the Good Fight” yet?
They should do Magic Power also Jeff Cocko, that one will rock your balls off to
Criminally underrated
@@miketheheartbreakkidvitale1783 great song but Rock n Roll Machine rocks even harder IMHO
@@larzakalazerath6655 Oh they have a lot of songs that rock harder than Lay it on the line. Tear the roof off and Allied forces to name a couple.
Love "Fight the Good Fight"
...I requested it too
It's just so legit. Will always be a song I love. Their going to be pissed at the old folks home when I crank this one up.
This is my all time favorite song! This group was awesome in concert!!
Probably the quickest I've clicked on a reaction video yet. Glad you're digging into some Triumph. One of the greatest live bands ever!
One of my favorite Triumph songs is "Never Say Never". Has some of the sharpest, distorted riffs in all of hard rock.
what album is that on?
@@koolkitties8552 It's on the "Surveillance" album. You need to hear the cool "Prologue" right before "Never Say Never" -- has such an amazing build to it then kills it with that intro riff. Brilliant hard rock.
One of my favorite lines of all time..
"I don't ask for much...the truth will do just fine."
I've used that line a couple times myself lol.
Fantastic lyric.
Triumph is INCREDIBLY under appreciated. Rik Emmett (Singer and guitarist) is one of the best from the 70-80's
I saw Fight the Good Fight. Magic Power is also pretty good for the mainstream
Spell Bound and Time Goes By are great tunes from their Thunder Seven album. Time Goes By showing how good Rik is picking and finger fretting the same notes in the solo
That whole album is fantastic. I love the two instrumentals too. Stranger in a Strange Land is one of my faves.
@@bigbrainboy2013 stranger in a strange land should have been a hit
Midsummer's Daydream! A beautiful acoustic piece!
Another fantastic 3 man Canadian band! I love this song. Triumph is one of the best bands I've ever seen play live. Amazing!
It's strange that they were so huge but mainstream eventually left them.
I never understood that either
Magic Power, Lay It on the Line, and Fight the Good Fight…..are my top three songs by Triumph
Triumph is so underrated, highly recommend Magic Power, Fight the good fight, Hold On, Somebodys Out there, World of Fantasy
So many great songs from this era that we couldn't wait to hear when we listened to the radio ONLY one after another...... Dam Good Times
Love Triumph… I think the best song is one most Triumph fans won’t call out.

Triumph was essentially a harder than hell Rush. Canadian Power Trios they were!
I don't ask for much... the truth will do just fine. Great line!

Best concert I ever attended back in the 80’s
Triumph! "They b preachin" on this one!!
...such feeling!!
Also try the song: 'Fight the Good Fight'
for a lyrically fueled positive motivation!!
(Hold On, Just A Game, Magic Power)
All...... good songs.....
Awesome song by Triumph. Thanks chat for picking this one, you came through.
What's the next one we should try for?
@@hmpz36911 Hard telling, depends on live stream theme. Really wanted Styx Blue Collar Man played, well, eventually. Have may songs, but they may never get played.
Ok now you must play Rock n roll machine and Tearing the roof off. Awesome rocking songs.
Triumph Rocks this was my first concert with friends in 1983! Truly awesome. One of the few bands who sound as good live as the album!
One of the best live bands I saw ever. (early 80s)
Saw them on their first US tour. Had never heard of them but we went. They were great
You guys need to do an ALL Canadian stream in support of our Truckers!! So many great bands:
Triumph
Chilliwack
April Wine
Rush
BTO
The Guess Who
Trooper
Steppenwolf
Harlequin
Red Rider
ETC!!
Stampeders, Tragically Hip, Kim Mitchell, The Band, Tom Cochrane, Rush!
And then there is modern Canadian bands.. Sam Roberts, Nickelback, Theory of a Deadman, Arcade Fire, Billy Talent, Default, Our Lady Peace, Sum 41, Finger Eleven, Alexisonfire
I know Steppenwolf began as ' Sparrow ' which was from Canada but ' Steppenwolf ' also had Americans in the band.
@@bLANchy8 AprilWine, Loverboy, Bryan Adams, Colin James, etc.
@@bLANchy8 Also Crown Lands
Agreed, one of my all time favs!!
I've requested this one a few times on your live stream nights, love that you finally got to it!!! Banger!!
We've been gunning for this for about 2 months in there. I'm glad Brad liked Triumph this time around.
this was a rock trio that made the noise of 6 people....super talented dudes...they produced alot of other guys too
Rock n roll machine is a must. These guys are in a word......BRILLIANT....
So happy you have discovered Triumph! Another great Canadian rock band from my youth.
One of my dad's favorite tunes. I know this note for note 🤣 love to see you guys doin all the tunes I grew up on.
I know, right? This song speaks to Generation X like nothing else. I just love singing this song in the shower. (In a lower key, of course.)
You guys should react to…
Triumph - Magic Power
🎸🤘
I have come to the conclusion that Brad and Lex need to put you on the payroll and just play the songs you suggest. I enjoy your input on this channel.🙂

One of the best songs of that time . Kids nowadays don't know what they have missed. Great Rock.i was lucky enough to see them live .
Rik Emmitt is a fucking god! Nobody blends voice and guitar playing better.
One of the best rock bands ever in my opinion.
this Canadian trio is unbelievably talented and definitely underrated.
Hands down their best song.
Oh, yeah!!! 2 great singers in this band. Seen them twice in the 70's. So good.
Best lazer show i ever saw in the 80s

Love you.Brad and Lexy is just too cool. This world needs more folks like the two of you!
I'm so glad there is an ad before this reaction. I'm so happy you guys reacted to this. Gonna be another great episode.
Brad nailed it - they your feelings on the line already! Triumph is an amazing band, it was love at first listen for me.

Always been a fan of Ordinary Man. Pretty prophetic all these years later. Timeless messages.
My wife loves the song "Ordinary Man". Out of every Triumph album, there were always 6-7 really STAND OUT songs. So much talent and joyful noise.
This guy right here tearing up the vocal and the guitar……yeah 🤘😎❤️🎼❤️🔥🔥🔥 3 guys from Canada, just like Rush. ✅
That particular Triumph song always got me, with those power chords. It's all good, but those simple power chords just kill me. Still do. A+.
I STILL want that double neck Ibenez lol
The most underrated Canadian band ever. We are so proud of out Toronto Power Trio - You need to watch the official video to see them at work
i swear i have never seen brad smileso much before im thinking hes ejoying triumph our little ole canadian rockers
Triumph is amazing! So sad I never got to see them in concert. Maybe one day, if they do a reunion.
One of my favorite guitar solo! Great song
Amazing live show. Seriously ...top 10 and I have seen the best
Was waiting for this one
Another great 3 men Band from Canada.
Yes, yes, yes Super concert back in the day!! ⚡️🎸🎸
Saw Triumph in 1983 or so at Meadowlands Arena in NJ. It was the Thunder 7 tour I believe. It was so loud I think it damaged my ears. They've been ringing ever since. They were amazing.
Triumph really is a triumph! Both musically and lyrically. From Canada and only three, like Rush.
Finally I been waiting for someone to react to Triumph. Love everything About them!
I used to put this on my plastic record player and dance around with this in my hands!! Singing the lyrics at the top of my lungs!! I was between 10-12 years old! But it never ever gets old!! Music has always been my rock, pun intended!! Lex🥰 Love that you feel this song like many of us do 😍 Gosh, I must have played this 100 times after the first time hearing it!! Great reaction guys!! ❤
Triumph were real popular for a few years up here. Saw them live New Years Eve, was 14. I forget the year 😉
Nice reaction.
Gil Moore is one of my favorite drummers. Absolutely underrated.
Great drum sound!
And vocals
Gil Moore has an unbelievable voice too! It is outstanding!

I can relate, 5th grade sang I want you to want me (Cheap Trick) to the girl I liked.... never heard from her afterward either.
Triumph is sorely overlooked when it comes to great R&R bands.Thanks for reacting to them.
🇨🇦 saw these guys in the 80’s I was 15. My 1st real rock show!! ✌🏼
One of my favorite bands. Growing up in Upstate NY only a few hours from Toronto. They were especially huge around this area.
Check out
World of Fantasy
Magic Power
Fight the Good Fight
Never Surrender ( personal favorite)
These were all radio hits with many more. They got a lot of good deep cuts songs also. They are ONE of those bands.
I'm from Rochester and loved Triumph
It’s a banger for sure ..very underrated band.
Great choice. Triumph has always been one of the most underappreciated bands in rock.
So glad to see you two sticking your toes in the Triump pool. They're a powerhouse
