Hello Metalheads,
On this episode, we are joined by Rik Emmett, the legendary vocalist and guitar player of Canadian power trio TRIUMPH.
Rik joined us to talk about his new memoir, titled “Lay It On The Line: A Backstage Pass To Rock Adventure, Conflict and Triumph”.
In our conversation, we learn all about the unique roles Rik, bassist Mike Levine and drummer / vocalist Gil Moore all played, outside of the musicianship itself, in Triumph and he tells the full story about the rise to success, the peak of their career, his eventual exit and just why that happened.
He also shares the emotional story about how his dying brother became the catalyst for reconciling with his band mates after many years of bad blood, which ultimately led them to several reunion concerts in 2008.
Rik takes us on some funny journeys through many of his more memorable concerts in the heyday (Buffalo, New Jersey and Long Island just to name a few) and the Spinal Tap-like experiences of Rocklahoma 2008.
Another example of a great, unique, conversation filled with in-depth anecdotes and disclosures found only here at Metal Mayhem ROC.
Thank you for the support and remember to always KEEP IT HEAVY!
