Hey guys welcome back again to Ken Tamplin Vocal Academy where the proof is
in the singing. Before we get started guys if you'd please
like my video that would be great. Please also subscribe to my channel that would
be awesome and don't forget to ring that Bell so that I can keep more videos
coming your way. With that said I'm gonna do reaction to the band Triumph and the
song is called "Lay It On The Line". A little background about Triumph,
incredible band. For the most part a power trio from Canada not unlike other
power trios that we know from Canada like Rush and just a fantastic band.
Everybody in the band was great. Rik Emmet is the lead vocalist lead/
guitarist and Gil Moore actually the drummer is also an a fantastic singer as
well. So we're gonna hear a power trio. Now sometimes they do add another guitar
player in there. I don't know if they did in this video because I haven't seen it
yet but just an amazingly talented group and let's get started here we go.
Nice and in pitch. Sounds good.
Nice tone.
Nice high vocals. I love that.
Kinda like Geddy Lee right from Canada. Some high vocal stuff.
Now what's so good about these bands. I think this is from Halifax in 1987 it
looks like and you know most all, not all but most all of these bands they didn't
run tracks, there was no auto-tune. They were just great players, great performers
and Triumph is certainly way up there in the in the amazing department and not
only did they all sing great but they all played great, they worked well together.
Imagine producing this much sound as a power trio just three guys. Now it looks
like they do have another guitar player in this specific show but um when I saw
them I actually saw them touring with my cousin Sammy Hagar and he took them on
tour and kind of made them popular I think in the US but man I gotta tell
you I don't know. Was it Sammy that was good or was Triumph good or were they
both like really good. The were both great in their own right so it's really cool to
see them and any way I want to continue but I just had to make that little
side note. I know there were some bands that did run tracks in the 80s like Def
Leppard you know and others but bands like this man it was just just letting
you have it. So that was great. Let's continue here we go.
Listen to those vocals man.
Did you hear Gil Moore on top.
The drummer.
Killing it.
You know back in the 80s there was a lot of bands you know whether it was TNT or
whether it was Boston you know whether it was... there were so many bands like
Triumph, you know Rush we mentioned already, where
they had these incredible high vocals and you just don't hear that kind of
consummate professionalism anymore see...you know great high range singing and I miss
that man because you know gosh I've done some vocal demonstrations from that and
Millie Matijevic you know he's another one that has also got some great high
range stuff but we've just kind of lost out on that over the you know the last
I don't know from the 90s on and through now and I miss it. Love to have..hear more people
just kicking butt like that in high range.
Great drumming.
Wouldn't it be cool like you're in this band right and you've got like basically
two really strong, high-range lead vocalists like that. Well you know kinda
reminds me of Trans-Siberian Orchestra right. You know there are a lot of guys
like that when someone gets a cold or whatever there's so many great guys
and they have two bands and I think they're working on a third now where I
mean anyone could step into your spot and fill your shoes if you get sick or
cold or you know just whatever but or harmonize and whatever and so that's
what I love about bands like this is just there was so much talent. Styx I
mean bands like that. So much talent in the band everyone could fill in for
everybody else or embellish and just make the whole overall sound sound
better, killer.
Not a missed note.
I was expecting Gil Moore to step in maybe do something else there.
Awesome.
Alright guys so with that said don't forget to stick around because we've got
a lot more coming your way. I've got another video that you're gonna
absolutely love. So be sure to stick around for that it's coming up now and
until next time gang, that's awesome. Here we go.
