Triumph Honoured With Canadian Music Week's 'Legends of Live' Award

[@brianandrews9589]

Triumph needs to be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland Ohio if they're not they deserve to be there they were a hard rock and band great music Rik Emmett was phenomenal a master I'm 63 and I still listen to him they are a true great rock and roll band they are a legend Triumph Hold on to your dreams !! Hold on !!

[@mcbobly]

What's the point, the R&R HOF became a complete joke long ago. Not nearly as prestigious now as it once was.

[@ronditchen6664]

You're you're right Triumph deserves and needs to be in the Hall of Fame the Hall of Fame is a complete joke hell it took Rush 20 years to get in there after they were eligible bands like Bachman-Turner Overdrive The Guess Who and REO Speedwagon are not in the Hall of Fame yet either I believe they'll should change your name to the Rock and Roll Hall of shame cuz that's what they turned into some of these artists that they put in these rap artist don't deserve to be in the Hall of Fame before bands like Triumph an REO Speedwagon just to name a few again the Hall of shame is a f****** joke I wouldn't spend a dime to go to that place

[@carlheinz6699]

Brian, I'm 59 and catching up with you, fat grin. Greetings from Canada!

[@Deborahtunes]

I agree with@@mcbobly. The RRHOF is an absolute joke. Why bother, and who cares what Jann Wenner thinks anyway? We know Triumph is triple the musical talent that some of the fakers who's been inducted in there in the last 15 years...

[@jorgerodriguez85]

Every time I come across a R&R HOF discussion, I always hear about artists that are not there, & my reaction is always *REALLY ?* I guess the hall is the joke that most people say it is.

[@MayweatherjrWONandsoTrump]

I am from Puerto Rico (American) and grew up listening to Triumph..., I want to thank Canada for giving the world such great musicians like they are, well deserved. I am 50 years old and to this day, my 11 years old and I enjoy listening to their music toguether.

[@doublejake.4846]

Been a fan since 1982, Allied Forces changed my life, washed both my parents cars when I was in seventh grade and got five bucks, stole some change out of my brothers room and rode my bike to Kmart and bought that album, played it on my Sears and Roebuck record player all summer. My whole life and still today I turn people on to Triumph and I’m 50 years old. These men were real musicians, with great songs.

[@Deborahtunes]

*Allied Forces* is what brought me in as a fan also. *Fight The Good Fight* is my favorite Triumph song. My mother would sometimes buy us something for passing in school at the end of the year. In 1982, I asked her to buy me *Allied Forces* that year. Still have it today. I loved listening to their tracks, when I was feeling down, because those lyrics always lifted my spirits...

[@hubbell627]

I'm from San Bernardino, California, and some of my greatest memories are them coming to the Orange Pavilion here. It was also a special honor to have the US Festival in my hometown and to see my band Triumph there - its a connection with Triumph I will always treasure. Thanks for the memories guys.

[@MrSouthwillrise]

My dear friend and the bass player in my band Kevin Boyce (RIP) was Rik's guitar tech during the US Festival years.Our former sax player saw Rik in Cali and told him of Kevin's passing. Rik was very sad.He then took the Triumph banner (sponsored by Converse) from the wall, signed it and shipped it to us.He is a class act and we will never forget this kind gesture.Much love from Florida.Thanks Rik.

[@christiekraczek6522]

Hell yes!! I was only 4 in 1975, but i listened to Triumph my whole life. Triumph is one of the best bands in history in my opinion. This award is greatly deserved. Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame next!!!!!

[@ryanperry3854]

I’ve only seen 2 bands multiple times. Rush is one. Triumph is the other. Triumphs live show was unparalleled at that time. I distinctly remember a green face inside the laser light talking to the crowd as is shot over the arena. That was by far the coolest thing I had ever seen and will never forget it. Congrats you 3.

Every bit as good as RUSH, so glad I've seen them live! Alpine Valley, Wisconsin 🇺🇸

I was invited as a Super Fan to the triumph metalworks studio for the documentary being filmed for this great great band...they did SO much for their fans...and they played as a power trio for the first time in decades.....they were such gentleman and giving, even their families were great and humble..best band ever..Gil is a remarkably polite and contrite man....

[@unstablebobgable]

It must have been awesome to be there. I always thought they were at their greatest when they were a trio

[@st3v444]

Well deserved. I don't really care about the RRHOF people they are so sensitive and biased. Triumph will always be one of the most greatest bands ever!

yes they should be inducted in RRHOF, just like they did with RUSH. I agreed, the fuckin RRHOF is a joke.

[@Alsworld2]

I was one of the teenagers (way back then) who bought Triumphs's "Rock & Roll Machine" record when it came out. Me and all my friends had to have it and air jam to Rik's crazy guitar solo. Still remember blasting "Street Fighter Man" when the parents were gone. Saw them on tour live here in Austin, Texas for that tour and then later for the "Just a Game" Tour. The second time I saw them had the better light show I remember but the music and performance of both shows were fantastic! They came to my home town and rocked us! And, we bought their records and always supported them back. They need to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame for sure. Thank you Triumph for the great music you created and we still listen to! SiriusXM brings you into my ears allot thankfully. But, I also still have the live Triumph "Stages" CD in my stack of music. I'm getting older but your music never will. Cheers from Austin, Texas!

[@djclaudeus]

They were my 1st ever concert! They shot the video for "Follow Your Heart" that night. Absolutely well deserved!!

Congratulations a well deserved accomplishment. Triumph was the first concert I ever went to and I still listen to their music in the car to this day cranked to 11. Most under rated band of all time. So much talent there. Rik is so good, to watch him play, and the way he has mastered to guitar is just amazing, I am just is awe! My jaw drops every time I see him play he’s that good!

Thanks forever Rik, it's been an amazing journey.

[@robert.m4676]

I saw Triumph back in 85 at the Lakeland civic center. It was such a wonderful experience!! At the very end the lights came on and I dropped my lighter. I looked around for it and found a camera! I was 18 or 19 I’d have to look at my stub I still have to know which. But I kept the camera, today I would have looked to see who lost it. But I developed the film and still have some outstanding pics! Molly Hatchet opened for them and there were pics of them as well. There was one standout pic of Rick where he had the double neck guitar, he was smiling and had that glint in his eyes that made the pic such a classic! I live in Daytona Beach area still to this day but have had thoughts of moving to Canada because The U.S. is simply going to the wayside!

Gil Moore had a drum kit that was cut mirrored glass, and was one of the most beautiful drum kits that I've ever seen.

[@GuitarAnthony]

I always figured it was whereas Rush split the credit but all three had input to music & lyrics, Triumph was Rik doing all the writing but still having to split credit three ways. You'd have thought he'd get solo credit for all the acoustic guitar pieces at least.
