Second in a collection of Music Life Journal interviews with 2025 Inductees into the Canadian Songwriters Corridor of Fame. The Legends Induction Ceremony takes place Friday, Oct. 17, on the Lyric Theatre within the Meridian Arts Centre in downtown Toronto.
By Jim Barber
Within the newest of a collection of well-deserved accolades, the members of Triumph – Rik Emmet, Gil Moore and Mike Levine – are being inducted into the Canadian Songwriters Corridor of Fame as a part of a ceremony that additionally consists of fellow inductees Ian Thomas, Andy Kim, Jane Siberry and Gino Vannelli.
This newest honour follows within the footsteps of the band’s elevation into the Canadian Music Corridor of Fame, the Juno Corridor of Fame, Canada’s Stroll of Fame and extra! The band, which grew to become legendary for his or her highly effective and bombastic dwell exhibits, together with performances at a number of the greatest festivals in North America (The US Competition, Texas World Music Competition, The World Sequence of Rock) in addition to for his or her superlative musicianship and effervescently uplifting, empowering and energizing compositions, helped solidify Canada as a rock music powerhouse, and although the band has solely performed two full exhibits and made a few brief dwell appearances lately, their music continues to be a mainstay on most rock radio platforms, and is even getting used to pump up sports activities followers earlier than vital televised video games in 2025.
It’s a legacy that isn’t simply in regards to the previous, but in addition in regards to the current, in addition to an intriguing future – however extra about that later.
The concept of what would grow to be iconic Canadian rock music energy trio Triumph sprung forth within the fertile thoughts of drummer/vocalist/songwriter Gil Moore and bassist/keyboardist Mike Levine. Though nonetheless fairly younger, each had been veterans of the Toronto music scene of the early Seventies, with not solely years of dwell present expertise, but in addition a great deal of expertise working the ins and outs of the enterprise facet of the music enterprise in addition to growing an acumen for the technical facet of recording studios and dwell manufacturing.
“They had been attempting to place a band collectively and so they noticed me play in a bar band known as Act Three on the Hollywood Tavern in Etobicoke, Ontario in the summertime of 1975. And, based on legend. Levine leaned over to Gil and mentioned, ‘that is the man.’ They’d been on the lookout for a frontman, guitar participant, singer type of man that would write songs and stuff. And so they had a report cope with Attic Data. Mike had connections to Tommy Williams and Al Mair of Attic, in order that’s the way it began. We had a type of trial in Gil’s basement the place we obtained to play with one another, after which we sat round and talked and yeah, I gave Act Three my discover and began with Triumph in September of 1975,” Emmett mentioned.
“And it’s not like every little thing clicked instantly. It’s a course of. You click on in small methods and that’s the way you see a future collectively. No person had a pot to piss in on the time, so that you’re all keen to make compromises and collaborate in an effort to try to get issues off the bottom. And it’s all an journey – there’s pleasure and vitality and ambition. All of these issues had been shared, so there was a whole lot of clicking. I assumed they had been so sensible and so educated and so good, as a result of I used to be only a bar band musician, and a jobbing musician. These guys had a imaginative and prescient that was far more bold than that, and so they had been extra skilled. I imply, Gil Moore knew about financial institution loans and knew about the way to wire a P.A. collectively. I bear in mind considering, okay, there’s so much I can study right here. So I used to be clicking from the get-go. Artistically and creatively there was a factor the place I type of needed to, proper from the start, get them to focus extra on the music and their devices. They’d chops, it was only a query of dedicating extra time and vitality to them. That was an uphill struggle, however I believe by the Only a Recreation album, which got here out in 1979, that was when, three years in, the place I used to be asserting myself and saying, ‘right here’s some songs that I’ve written that I believe we should always report. And right here’s the way in which I wish to report them.’ So I used to be taking a number of the reins away from Mike as producer and arranger, as a result of I felt like I used to be actually beginning to study issues as an artist and that’s, I believe, when the band actually began to determine it out.
“And the method unfolds over time and it modifications over time. Whenever you begin out, everyone’s form of keen to collaborate and compromise in an effort to make all of it occur. After which after you’ve been at it for some time, like in Triumph’s case, after a decade there’s heaps and plenty of cash and there’s enterprise and there’s partnership issues and there’s a studio [Metalworks] and there’s all of these things now, there’s manufacturing corporations and there’s warehouses which have lease each month and truck drivers you already know. By then it’s now not about children within the basement with a dream of being in a rock band.”
However alongside the way in which, by means of 9 studio albums, beginning with their self-titled debut in 1976, adopted by Rock and Roll Machine, then the aforementioned Simply A Recreation, Eighties Progressions of Energy, the band’s breakout Allied Forces album in 1981, By no means Give up in 1982, Thunder Seven two years later, adopted by Sport of Kings and the band’s final album with Emmett, Surveillance in 1987, Triumph carved out a repute for the highly effective, uplifting nature of their songs, their sensible musicianship and for arguably having probably the most incendiary, intense and big stage present outdoors of Queen, anyplace on this planet.
Songs corresponding to ‘Maintain On,’ ‘Lay It on the Line,’ ‘Magic Energy,’ ‘Combat The Good Combat,’ ‘By no means Give up,’ ‘Comply with Your Coronary heart,’ ‘Any individual’s Out There,’ and ‘Rock and Roll Machine,’ proceed to be staples on traditional rock radio, and are additionally being uncovered to a brand new era of followers with them getting used as opening teasers for each NHL hockey and The Toronto Blue Jays. Due to this fact it is sensible, in an article about songwriting being honoured, to speak slightly about how a few of these traditional Triumph compositions got here to life.
“The best way it was imagined that it might be structured was that Gil was going to be bringing half the songs and I used to be going to be bringing half the songs. And that’s form of the way in which it performed out. After which the band would sit in pre-production rehearsals and organize issues with Mike form of being the overseeing producer type of man that may be making solutions about trimming this half down, let’s get to the refrain faster, that type of stuff. As time performed out, Gil and Mike ended up spending increasingly more time advertising the band and selling the band and managing the band and manufacturing and all of the tens of millions of issues that must be achieved. So I might be coming all the way down to rehearsal and I might have 10 songs and Gil would have a few concepts on his Dictaphone that had been 1 / 4 of a track, half a track, and we’d work them up. It reached some extent once we obtained to the Thunder Seven album and the considering was, okay let’s attempt to collaborate a bit extra. Let’s sit collectively like within the outdated days and attempt to write songs collectively. In order that album had slightly bit extra of that forwards and backwards between Gil and I and Mike coming in once more form of on the finish to assist put preparations collectively and get them able to report.”
Triumph’s music was all the time set other than a lot of what was taking place in laborious and heavy rock all through the late Seventies and Eighties in that it wasn’t about outright hedonism, nor was it darkish and gloomy. It was intentionally empowering and highly effective and was an energizing musical presence on radio which translated into inescapably fantastic live performance experiences.
“That’s what I used to be saying round 1978, once I was writing ‘Lay It on the Line’ and ‘Maintain On’ That was me saying, ‘the band is known as Triumph. Nicely, why aren’t we about that. Why isn’t that what we’re form of hanging our hats on.’ And the place did that come from? I used to be a child who sang in choirs; once I was seven and eight years outdated, I sang in church and college choirs. So I used to be round the entire thought of the anthem and the way all of them deliver individuals collectively. And likewise choruses ought to have one thing the place there’s a chorus that makes everyone wish to sing. One of many first albums I ever purchased was a Bob Dylan report, and Bob Dylan had these people songs that had the identical sorts of qualities the place it has to reach at a chorus, like ‘the reply, my good friend, is blowing within the wind,’ and by the point you’re doing the third refrain you don’t even must sing it anymore as a result of the entire viewers within the espresso home goes to be singing it again to you. That concept is as outdated as songs, when troubadours had been singing and telling tales of what was happening at courtroom for the frequent individuals within the market,” Emmett mentioned.
“In Triumph, I believe that was me saying to the blokes, come on, let’s do that. So then it grew to become the place I used to be just about all the time attempting to write down songs that may operate alongside that line. And naturally by the point we obtained to ‘Magic Energy’ I type of discovered how to have the ability to do it in a approach that was, you already know, very efficient. And it wasn’t like I used to be doing it as a result of it wasn’t a pure, natural type of songwriting course of for me. That is what I wished to have the ability to say. Like, when you’ve been up on stage in entrance of 10,000, 12,000 individuals and so they’re all banging their heads and so they’re all thrusting their Bic lighters into the air, you begin considering, okay, how a lot do I would like this to be like Communion and the way a lot of this do I wish to be like a Nuremburg Rally. I believe I wish to lean extra in the direction of Communion you already know, in order that’s a aware factor, that’s a premeditated sort o factor. However on the identical time, it was fairly natural coming proper out of my genetic construction.”
‘Maintain On’ as Emmett has said, epitomized that positivity, that collective sense that not solely are all of us on this world collectively, however that we are supposed to be blissful, meant to try, meant to persevere. And it led to the long-lasting songs of empowerment which have grow to be ingrained on the psyche of tens of millions of followers all over the world … in addition to serving to keep Triumph’s standing as Canadian rock and roll royalty.
“With ‘Maintain On’ it isn’t a lot a mishmash of concepts coming collectively because it was being like what the Seashore Boys did. I imply, who didn’t love the Seashore Boys, proper? When Brian Wilson was writing issues like ‘Good Vibrations’ he had a imaginative and prescient of constructing it like a symphony, however he was going to make it occur over two and a half or three minutes. There have been all of those nice musical issues that occurred in a really brief time period. ‘Wouldn’t It Be Good,’ was like that. There are such a lot of of his tunes that had a symphonic type of creativeness at work. That was one of many issues with ‘Maintain On’ the place I used to be considering, okay, I’ve obtained this poem that I wrote in highschool that was saying ‘music holds the key.’ So we’re speaking about music. The place will we go from right here? As a author sitting alone in my room, I got here up with the entire thought of the association. That is the way it’s going to develop. Sort of like how Jimmy Web page had achieved ‘Stairway to Heaven’ the place it went from being type of a folky little ballad after which picked up steam. And the guitar solo on the finish continues to be superb, and FM radio on the time was completely into this concept of songs beginning gentle and constructing it up – flip it right into a symphony. I even wrote a type of disco breakdown a part of it. The disco factor was like, I can’t bear in mind what number of bars it was however I mentioned to Gil simply play on this high-hat and I’ll play guitar over it. It was like, 32 bars or 64 bars or no matter. And by that point I used to be assured sufficient within the studio the place I might say if it’s too lengthy, nicely we are able to lower the tape. Like, I’d by no means lower tape earlier than, however I’d seen it achieved and now I knew, oh, okay you may even rearrange issues by reducing the two-inch grasp.”
Then we come to ‘Magic Energy,’ which, exposing bias right here, is the author of this text’s favorite track – ever!
“I wrote a folks track, sitting at dwelling. And I most likely was leaning an terrible lot on the truth that once I was a child in highschool, we might play The Who’s Who’s Subsequent album so much. So ‘Behind Blue Eyes’ and “Received’t Get Fooled Once more’ and ‘Baba O’Reilly’ and all that stuff. ‘Magic Energy’ was type of a track the place I used to be considering, okay, The Who was basically an influence trio with a singer up entrance. Let’s see if I can write one thing that’ll work the way in which Pete Townsend makes songs work. I believe once I initially wrote it, I added the half the place it says, ‘she climbs into mattress and pulls the covers over her head,’ however it wasn’t a she, it was me. It’s what I used to do once I was a child. I used to have a transistor radio and go to mattress and hearken to the radio, which I believe was one of many formative issues about making me assume that, yeah, grow to be a musician, that may be a very cool factor. You may get on the radio,” Emmett defined.
“After all when you write a track about being any person that has this magic energy of getting songs on the radio, radio itself goes to go, ‘isn’t that an ideal factor! That is what we do.’ And pay attention, I’m not going to fake that was an accident. And if you consider it, on the identical time, kind of, Rush had ‘Spirit of Radio’ and there was a whole lot of that happening the place everyone was attempting to determine how do you get on the radio once more? How do you make this occur?”
Whereas Triumph was recognized for, and this text is speaking so much about, sure songs that helped elevate them to a sure stage of acclaim, recognition and industrial success, at their core, Emmett, Levine and Moore created albums – full albums that had an inside construction, dynamism and emotional connective tissue that made them greater than only a sum of their elements.
“There have been all the time a couple of tracks on every album the place you already know they’re going to be the main target tracks. Particularly if you find yourself which one would be the one we make the video for, for MTV and later MuchMusic. However we all the time considered Triumph as an album band. And consequently there can be songs that there can be no level in enjoying them dwell as a result of a certain quantity of persons are shopping for the tickets as a result of they wish to hear the hit songs as a result of they’ve been following you for 5 or 10 years. They wish to hear these large songs. That’s why they got here to the present. And whenever you play the primary couple of bars of it and the viewers goes, ‘yeah, that’s what I paid my cash for. Nice!’ You’re going to try this track, and that’s a lovely little piece of vitality to get whenever you’re up on stage. However there are different songs that we didn’t play dwell, however I nonetheless assume are nice songs, or at the very least the expertise behind them was superb,” Emmett mentioned.
“And instance of that may be the final album that Triumph did once I was within the band [Surveillance]. It was not very commercially profitable and type of got here and went unnoticed. However on the time, I had Steve Morse [Dixie Dregs, Deep Purple, Kansas, Steve Morse Band] up and I’d written a track known as ‘Carry On the Flame’ which I assumed had some darkness in it. It has some actual sort hipness too in the way in which it was organized. It was type of prog and was all of these items that I’ve been speaking about, the symphonic type of factor. And naturally it went fully unnoticed. Nobody ever asks me about it or talks about it. However I used to be fairly pleased with it. And as I mentioned, Morse was on the town and we did a co-write. The track had an intro factor known as ‘All The King’s Horses’ which Morse and I wrote in a day sitting on the studio flooring at Metalworks. And it was one of many biggest moments of my profession. After I look again at it, I believe, what a spotlight that was to be writing with a man of that talent stage and that have. He performed in Kansas and he performed in Dixie Dregs and he performed with extremely nice musicians all around the world. And right here he was, sitting 5 toes from me and we’re enjoying acoustic guitars collectively, writing a track. And I bear in mind considering, ‘how nice is that this! That is all I ever wished out of my life and my profession,’ and but it went completely unnoticed by the remainder of the world.”
At a sure stage of success, and Triumph was at a spot by means of the primary half of the Eighties that few Canadian bands/artists outdoors of Rush and Bryan Adams had attained, outdoors stress turns into extra intense than the within stress to simply get higher as songwriters. It’s the age-old dilemma, the tug of warfare between artwork and commerce that plagues each creator from visible artists to novelists, to screenplay writers and musicians. Navigating it may be treacherous and is commonly the first motive why bands break up. The proverbial ‘inventive variations’ are sometimes as a consequence of that dichotomy of pursuits between making good music and making in style music, grow to be first a crack, then a rift, then a chasm.
“Round that point the enterprise was altering. You wanted to form of be on MTV and also you wanted to have songs that may cross over and be energy ballads on AM radio. So there was stress that didn’t simply come from the report firm, it got here from the world normally, what was being profitable on the market now and also you say to your self, ‘proper, we now have to compete.’ I imply it’s a First World drawback. There are, and have been, artists who do a reasonably good job of claiming, ‘I can do that.’ Like David Bowie, he might all the time make actually attention-grabbing music. For those who’re speaking to a comic, a comic would say, it simply boils all the way down to this: are you humorous? Simply be humorous. Simply do what’s humorous. And I believe for musicians and songwriters, it’s actually, simply be attention-grabbing. Simply be actually good. Simply determine the way you’re going to seize individuals’s creativeness. That’s what it’s important to do. Your work is to try this, and the opposite stuff is a part of it, I assume. David Lee Roth as soon as mentioned the music enterprise boils all the way down to haircuts and footwear, and it’s a reasonably good shortcut of a saying. After all fashion goes to play into it. Style goes to play into it. Cultural memes are going to play into it. There are all of these issues and then you definitely’re additionally considering, ‘what’s radio enjoying now?’” he mentioned.
“There are all the time these conversations and you may’t be 100 per cent shutting it out. You possibly can’t ignore the world. However you do have to have the ability to sit down together with your instrument and your mind and determine the way you’re going to seize the general public’s creativeness. What are you going to say and the way are you going to border it in order that it’s attention-grabbing? It’s no totally different than whenever you’re writing an article. You’re going to resolve what the lede is and what’s related and attention-grabbing for the reader. That is the way in which issues work. There’s going to be a certain quantity of formulation there as a result of human nature actually doesn’t change all that a lot. You wish to be hip. You wish to be cool. So that you’re going to must take a few of that into consideration. We had been speaking about greed and folks eager to mine the previous as a result of in reality, there are actually, actually high-quality issues that even new generations will discover attention-grabbing. You might have ‘Lay It on the Line’ performed through the hockey playoffs and then you definitely’ve obtained nine-year-old children utilizing Shazam wanting to search out that track. There’s gotta be one thing in that track that’s capable of communicate outdoors of it’s personal time. So there should be one thing attention-grabbing about that, no matter it’s that we did, that’s making that phenomena occur. There’s gotta be one thing in that track that’s capable of communicate outdoors of it’s personal time. There should be one thing attention-grabbing about that, no matter it’s that we did, that’s making that phenomena occur.”
Whereas the opposite 2025 Canadian Songwriters Corridor of Fame inductees are nonetheless writing, recording and performing to various levels, Triumph as an entity has not launched new materials since their Emmett-less 1993 album Fringe of Extra, which featured present Bon Jovi axe-slinger and Canadian guitar icon Phil X in his stead. However after a busy few years which noticed the band inducted into numerous halls of fame, releasing a well-regarded documentary (Triumph: Rock and Roll Machine, 2021) performing a brief set at a fan occasion in 2019) and performing a brief set earlier than a playoff hockey recreation within the spring of 2025 (minus Levine), and much more lately the discharge of a tribute album, not solely is there a resurgent curiosity within the band from followers and the music trade as an entire, however it additionally appears to have reenergized Gil Moore particularly.
Moore is the visionary of the band, the driving pressure who began Triumph greater than 50 years in the past and whose acumen for the enterprise, his tireless efforts to make the band into the epic dwell phenomena that they grew to become, and who continually pushed for larger and higher issues for the band. As talked about in a earlier interview with Moore in Music Reside Journal ( plans are underway for what has been dubbed, at the very least as a placeholder, Triumph 2.0 – a mixture of dwell efficiency, excessive tech avatars and extra.
“I do know that the most recent replace I can provide you is that there’s a man named Jason Murray from Vector Administration dealing with the band. Gil used to handle it, however he’s partnered with Vector, who deal with issues like Peter Frampton and Lynyrd Skynyrd and others. He’s a Canadian man however he’s form of worldwide and he additionally manages bands like The Superb Sons, Our Girl Peace, totally different acts like that. So, he’s very closely related into the world of Reside Nation. There’s a lot taking place today. I simply noticed a assume the opposite day in, I believe it was Forbes Journal, or some form of enterprise finance factor, score the truth that the music enterprise is forecasting large progress within the subsequent couple of years. And the projections should not based mostly on the gross sales of recordings or what we historically consider because the music enterprise, however the truth that the dwell factor is exploding. I imply, you’ve obtained Rush saying they’re going again out and so they’re going to tour with a brand new drummer. So that they’ve added youth and are re-energizing themselves. So, it doesn’t appear to be a lot of a stretch to me that Triumph would now experience these sorts of issues. Any individual’s going to return alongside and say, ‘okay, right here’s the deal,’” Emmett mentioned.
“Now, do I believe Mike Levine goes to have the ability to tour and strap on the bass and play stuff. I doubt it. So that is the place the entire animated, hologram, 3-D stuff enters into it. And Jason was telling me a narrative about going to The Sphere in Las Vegas and seeing John Mayer enjoying Grateful Useless stuff with some Grateful Useless individuals. And naturally individuals like Jerry Garcia have handed away, however he mentioned it’s actually nice the way in which they combine footage of Jerry enjoying. And I simply noticed a clip the opposite day on Instagram of Brian Might sitting and plunking away on a 12-string acoustic after which appears to be like as much as the large display screen and right here comes Freddie Mercury to sing ‘Love of My Life.’ So there’s a approach that you may now use know-how to combine from the previous to the current. So, you already know, that is the long run, and we’re residing in it.”
After all this despatched the interview off down the rabbit gap of inspecting the great and dangerous of know-how, particularly how AI could grow to be used not simply to reinforce musical artists – however maybe change them. Whereas Triumph as a band could or not me making new music, Emmett undoubtedly is … and has by no means stopped.
“I’m fairly certain that everyone you’ve talked to whose going into the Songwriting Corridor of Fame can be leery of something that’s not form of organically honouring the historical past of the songwriting course of. I do assume know-how has created a world the place there’s much more of the, let’s use the phrase mash-up to explain the concept of taking concepts from totally different kinds and totally different genres and totally different applied sciences after which having the ability to create one thing new. I’m all for that. I believe that’s incredible. Once we talked in regards to the Ten Telecaster Tales album that I did [ the whole idea of recording straight off the floor, clean as a whistle, and then going into the box and saying, okay let’s see what we can do with all of the plug-ins that exist for universal audio etc. etc. There’s an infinite palate of technological colours that you can apply, and I am cool with that. I am not cool with AI generating the original content,” he said.
“Like, I’ve got 11 songs in the can right now, and they’re folk songs in that I can it down with a guitar and I can make those songs happen. And that may be the way that I eventually realize them as quote, unquote, product. You’ve got to turn it into something that people can listen to and access on their phones and click on in their computer. Ever since they invented the wax cylinders back at the turn of the 20th century technology is the way music gets delivered and distributed. That’s not going to change. And you have to be comfortable with that as a creator because that’s how you eventually sort of make money. But having said that, I’m not keen on having technology be the thing. There’s this whole thing, too, of art being something that has to have a kind of ethical morality at work in order for it to maintain its integrity. I think that’s crucial. I would hate to think that what the world would end up being is a place where we’re just going to keep re-synthesizing and using technology to do things with stuff that came before. I think that every succeeding generation has a responsibility to be chasing the music and trying to make art happen. So the idea of regenerating something for its own sake, that’s just because of the money. Somebody somewhere is greedy and that doesn’t interest me very much.”
Returning to something more organic, more real and more fun, Emmett said he loved the opportunity to play a few Triumph songs live with Moore, and an assemblage of all-star Canadian rockers in the outdoor concert before one of the Stanley Cup Final games in Edmonton earlier this year. It was also a cool experience for die-hard Triumph fans in that they got to see Emmett share the stage, and share licks, with Phil X, who replaced Emmett in the band for a short time, including recording the band’s final studio album, Edge of Excess.
“It was a fun adventure. It was amazing. It was great. And you know, Phil X is a crazy rock and roll dude. He’s about as California rock as you can kind of get, for a Toronto Greek guy. And I really enjoyed being around him and playing with him. It was great. And, you know, Gil was kind of struggling but we had another drummer there [Brent Fitz] so it didn’t matter. I advised him he didn’t must kick the bass drum tremendous laborious or no matter, the opposite man’s enjoying too, so simply have enjoyable. Level at me together with your drumsticks now and again. So he did, and we had been laughing and it was actually type of cool. It was an journey, you already know,” he mentioned.
“I obtained to fulfill Todd Kerns [Age of Electric, Slash, Toque] and Brent Fitz and I assumed these guys are superior. These guys are professionals, 100 per cent professionals and it was simply pure pleasure up there. It will need to have been the sensation you’d have when you’re sitting in with Benny Goodman’s band and any person will get Charlie Christian up on the bandstand and the opposite musicians are going, ‘wow, that is superior.’ I assumed, wouldn’t it have been good if my profession had had slightly bit extra of this taking place. So it was good. It was a very candy feeling. And that’s why I believe it’s nice that Alex and Geddy are going again on the street. I believe it’s 100 per cent incredible, unimaginable, fantastic. I like seeing them collectively. I do know Alex, however I don’t know Geddy in any respect. I’ve hung out round Alex and he’s a personality. He’s an actual artist and a little bit of a wild card type of man, but in addition very smarty, very proficient – actually good. And the drummer they’ve picked [Anika Niles] holy shit, she’s superb. So it’s going to be nice and it’s going to be a lot enjoyable.”
What must also be a whole lot of enjoyable is the chance for Emmett, his bandmates Levine and Moore, to not solely share the highlight, but in addition share the chance to swap tales, kibbitz, catch up and share a couple of laughs with their fellow inductees on the Canadian Songwriters Corridor of Fame Legends induction occasion, this Friday, Oct. 17 on the Lyric Theatre within the Meridian Arts Centre in downtown Toronto.
