Metal Mayhem ROC:Rik Emmett: New Memoir, Why TRIUMPH Broke, US Festival in '83

Hello Metalheads! On this episode, we’re joined by Rik Emmett, the legendary vocalist & guitar player of Canadian power trio Triumph. He joined us to talk about his new memoir, titled “Lay It On The Line: A Backstage Pass To Rock Adventure, Conflict & Triumph”.  In our conversation, we learn all about the unique roles he, Mike & Gil all played, outside of the musicianship itself, in Triumph & he tells the full story about the rise to success, the peak of their career, his eventual exit & just why that happened. Also, he shares the emotional story about how his dying Brother became the catalyst for reconciling with his bandmates 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 & Long Island just to name a few) & the Spinal Tap-like experiences of Rocklahoma, OK in 2008 .  METAL MAYHEM ROC SOCIALS: https://metalmayhemroc.com/ https://metaldevastationradio.com/ http://pantheonpodcasts.com/ https://twitter.com/MetalmayhemR https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1Y8gRcKQODNMWwyLBfIHOA https://www.instagram.com/metalmayhemroc/ https://www.facebook.com/groups/metalmayhemroc Rik Emmett SOCIALS: https://www.rikemmett.com/ https://www.facebook.com/rikemmettnetwork/ https://www.instagram.com/rikemmett/ HOW TO BUY THE BOOK: https://ecwpress.com/ Learn more about your ad choices.
