Rik Emmett has a one of a kind, fantastic tone to his voice. Love Triumph.

Yeah, it's not at all similar to Geddy Lee's or anything.

They're similar, but Emmett's voice is much smoother and enjoyable than Lee's. I like Rush, but sometimes Geddy's voice is very shrieky.

I don't think Geddy Lee and Rik Emmett sound the least bit similar.

Neither do I. Always liked Rik's.....have never liked Geddy's. :?

Gil had a pretty good voice too. I put this in another thread, although I prefer EM's vocals on it, here is one that was written by Eric Martin and Neal Schon. Just One Night http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AVtsKuj22vQ

Loved Triumph's concerts back in the day, will definitely go to another if/when they reunite.

Incredibly underated band. I've seen them countless times over the years - I live in Baton Rouge - and they always deliver...

I've seen them a few times. Randy Jackson is so underrated as a singer and a guitarist.

Remember this song? I didn't know there was a video for it til just now.

Definitely - 3.V is actually my favorite release of theirs. Love every song on it...

Randy plays about as many acoustic shows as he does with Zebra. His voice hasn't lost a bit of range or power...

I love every Zebra album. Do you have the live DVD? Incredible. Randy Jackson (different one, Prog - why isn't youtube working for you?) is one of the most talented musicians I have ever seen. And an amazing songwriter.
