Prophetic band since their beginning. Even more revelent in todays world. Fraudulent elections in the 🇺🇸. Demonic bullshit is called on it's ass. THE LORD SHALL PREVAIL. DEMOCRATS TREMBLE YOUR ASSES ARE FOR THE HELL OF 🔥
Rik is a jack of all trades - power riffs, massive solos, finger tapping - and of course classical and spanish style guitar - and maybe most importantly he is fun to listen to.....so yes should be high on the all time list of guitarists
How in the hell is it humanly possible to have that much control while playing guitar live in front of tens of thousands. Rik and Getty do it with no effort. Genius!!!!! A gift from God.
No one really. Myles Kennedy is good, Alter Bridge is probably the most melodic rock band around today. The 1970s and 80s had the best vocalists and musicians.
I agree with that. They still hold up though. I've turned alotta people that don't usually like old school rock onto triumph because it's fucking triumph. I think my son may have been conceived in 2017 to just a game 😂
steve jackson I completely agree Triumph are one of my all time favorite bands. Did you know Rik Emmett recently released another solo album. Hes in his 60s now but still produces great music.
43 year old Triumph fan here . Started listening when i was kid and listen to them all the time . Glad i found this band as their music also helped me through life in many aspects .That's what real bands do !! Triumph fan Forever !! :)
About 40 year old huge Triumph fan replying here. I only discovered them because of the TV show Supernatural. It was love from the first note, i just had to find out more, who they were and so forth. Same thing happened with another super duper highly underrated band; Kansas.
Listening to this song in quarantine, feeling nostalgic and thinking that this is one of the most amazing, underrated bands on earth.... who plays and sings like this? POWERFUL. It has been decades since this band was front and center... yet this is THE song that I play in my head when I want to just crush it! AMAZING. PERIOD. Drop the mic....
Oh my goodness, does this ever bring me back! The band's optimistic lyrics, terrific rhythms and killer riffs got me through adolescence better than anything else. Anytime there was frustration or disappointment I could turn to Triumph, or Rush or Ozzy or Iron Maiden or Judas Priest. The music is always there for us.
Always loved the guitar solo in this song. The "tapping" progression, the end picking & whammy bar dives, the keys. Really a well, thought out solo, but what else do you expect, it's Rik!
I'm glad everyone thinks this album is great. Triumph is my step dads favorite band, I just bought him a Rik Emmet autograph original print vinyl of this album and didn't know if it was good or not....I couldn't find Allied Forces which is the only one I'm familiar with(love that album)
Rik Emmett has a powerful beautiful voice that touches everyone's heart around the world one of the greatest guitar player in hard rock music and a great song writer. a great underrated song of the 80s Triumph kick as_😎🤘🤘🎸🎸🎸🎸🌹🌹❤️❤️🏋️🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🎸🌹
True artistry in Rik Emmit's vocals and guitar prowess. This was my high school senior favorite in 1986. Got to see them in concert at the SanDiego sports arena. The show where they stopped the show because an idiot up front threw a beer on Rik while holding his electric guitar. Then they continued with Fight the Good Fight.
There are always those songs that bring back "The good old days". Remind you of "The best of Times". Or, rekindle those "Fond Memories of Yester Year". However, few songs follow you through the ups, stay with you over the apex of good times, and remain loyal when no one else will on the terrifying downhill slopes in life. -just remember "They done even know their own hearts, what can they know of mine?"
This album is a big part of my life during this era. I apppreciate your comment and wanted you to know I share the same appreciation for this album. God Bless ! PEACE OUT ! KP
Fantastic. Triumph always had a positive message, and still ROCKED. I actually think they helped make me the person I am today. Sounds corny, but I don't care.
Love and miss this trio. This song is awesome and sadly depressing. Drains my tear ducts as much as the song Killing Time off the same album. OMG, but listen to it over & over.
From a lyrical point of view there is none better than Triumph. Not sure who writes their lyrics but they are good. Fight The Good Fight, Ordinary Man, Just A Game, Hold On, Never Surrender, All The Way, Battle Cry...I could keep going. Hands down they are the greatest band to ever take the stage. I am American but all my favorites are Canadian. Molson Ice, Triumph, April Wine, and of course the greatest sport hockey.
voivod, neil merryweather, loverboy, razor, neil young, sacrifice, max wbster, aldo nova, anvil, coney hatch, kick axe, SNFU, DOA, rush, exciter, april wine, cauldron, black mountain, dead brain cells, MAHOGANY RUSH, quest for fire, saga, sheavy, nomeansno, a foot in cold water... triumph, of course.... i mean, BJ Snowden was totally right, wasn't she????!!!!!!!!!
For me, KANSAS and TRIUMPH are both #1, thou Triumph's stage performances were slightly better (mainly because of Rik Emmett). Thou...one Freddy Mercury once said, he had never heard a better live band what KANSAS, better band all together, (from Brian May's mouth). He also said (according to May), Freddy always was nervous to go on the stage after KANSAS.
This album was played over & over, endlessly, when it came out. The TIME trilogy is etched in my mind/heart-- poignant, mesmerizing, cut-to-the-core truth.
I saw Rikk Emmet in concert in 1984. Amazing. He is probably the most underrated musician of all time. Rikk Emmet simply ROCKS! The guitar, the vocals, al of it.
He's definitely one of my all time favorite musicians. Great Guitarist of several genres, great vocalist and an Amazing songwriter. Just think he was writing stuff like Hold On, Just A Game, Suitcase Blues, Magic Power, Ordinary Man and Fight The Good Fight before he was even 30 years old. That's amazing! I heard he was 30 at the time of Thunder Seven an artist with a talent well ahead of his years i think.
Plenty of great bands making great music right now, you just won't find them on radio stations or top charts... Magic Circle for example released an album last year or in 2016 and it's excellent
Can't you see the fire burnin' in a young girl's eyes Does she think that she moves ahead if she cuts me down to size Everybody's got two cents to try to buy some time But they don't even know their own hearts What can they know of mine?
WHAT A GREAT ROCKER!! BACK THEN.. AND BEFORE, TRIUMPH WAS JUST TEARIN' SHIT UP!! THIS TOUR WAS ONE OF THE FINEST IVE EVER SEEN, BAND WAS EXTREMELY TIGHT, GREAT SOUND, LAZERS & LIGHTS...CHICKS EVERYWHERE!.. MAY SOUND TYPICAL OF 80's ARENA ROCK.. BUT THIS SHOW WAS QUITE OVER THE TOP AND MEMORABLE FOR THAT TIME TO ME. RIK'S A GREAT GUITARIST YET I FEEL HE NEVER GOT HIS DUE, GOT LOOKED OVER BECAUSE OF ALL THE "MILLION MILES AN HOUR" SHREDDERS OF THE TIME.. AND NOTHING AGAINST THEM OF COURSE, IT WAS THE THING.. YET NONETHELESS, TRIUMPH FLAT OUT ROCKED.. AND WITHOUT THE PROPS & IMAGERY THAT WAS BIG BACK THEN AS WELL. SEEMS IT WAS QUITE THE TASK FOR THEM TO "LEVEL THE TOP" SO TO SPEAK BECAUSE THEY DIDNT USE ALL THE AFOREMENTIONED EXTRAS.. THE BOTTOM LINE IS THAT MUSIC STOOD UP! THEY JUST STEPPED OUT ONTO THE STAGE AND TORE SHIT UP, YET SO UNDERRATED.. R & R HOF'ers?? THEY'D CERTAINLY GET MY VOTE!!
What the hell is in the melted snow water up North? Rush,Triumph,Helix,Killer Dwarfs etc Even Loverboy. All the vocals hitting the stratosphere! On a severe Canadian metal bender right now. I think Coney Hatch is next.
wow how time goes by... here i am 43 years old , feels like yesterday i was heartbroken by some high school skank.ha ha makes me laugh, what a great time i had in those years. still rocking out where you at gabby!
God these guys were good, so underrated.....probably Rush's fault as the world couldn't handle the two best bands, both trios, being from Toronto Canada. Rush is and will always be my fav but Triumph was awesome and this song brings me back. Time for them to get their due!
I totally agree, Rik Emmet was one of the forgotten greats of the guitar, or well for most any stringed instrument. Gill Moore was another, though on the drums he wasnt anything spectacular, he could sing his ass off. Loved the bluesy tone he had.
nope, its neither corney nor or you alone either in that it helped me to be who i am to. you read some of the other comments on this song ? quite a few posts trying to get at the same thing you are. lol love it.
as time goes by we leave our fate to those who can't see the reality of their actions. the taking of our freedoms breaks every rule of nature and the great spirit of us all
+Buddy Lewis Triumph is so much better than Rush. Miles ahead as a matter of fact in my opinion. I know a lot of people have this deep respect for Rush and they are a good band but Rik Emmett is one of the best Guitarists and Vocalists ever. Drummer (Gil Moore) is amazing, Rush's drummer is amazing too but overall, i think its the lyrics and amazing performance live and in studio that Triumph beats Rush for me. Listen to the guitar solo, listen to lyrics. Hold On, Magic Power, and Fight the Good Fight are masterpieces. Those songs, this song, and many, many others, just shows they can play anything and make it sound good. Hell, they even made pop rock sound good, who the hell does that? xD These guys are only three people (I know, Rush is too) and two of them are amazing vocalists too. I know Rush has awesome talent too but these guys beat them overall for me in every category. Easily. I can agree to some extent that you can love Rush and say they're better, but they are in fact near their level, at least.
I'm with you Donaven!! There's just something about the way Rik emotes and the feelings their catalogue of music inspires.....and I happen to like Rush....I get it, if people are comparing longevity of the band and overall fame but damn it when I hear Rik's vocals soaring on the tracks I literally have an eargasm.....and who else has a drummer with killer pipes like Mr. Moore???..........Gil, Mike & Rik FOREVERRRRRR!!!!!!

I am 50 years old and this is still one of my favorite song's and band's. And yes underrated!
Was able to see them on the Thunder Seven tour on the old Rising Star concert series @ The Paramount Theater in Seattle.
Prophetic band since their beginning. Even more revelent in todays world. Fraudulent elections in the 🇺🇸. Demonic bullshit is called on it's ass. THE LORD SHALL PREVAIL. DEMOCRATS TREMBLE YOUR ASSES ARE FOR THE HELL OF 🔥
Triumph brings back so many memories. Old friends.
i love evh but rik can definitely give eddie a run for his money this solo is spectacular
Same here
Rik Emmett...The most underrated guitarist in Rock & Roll HISTORY!
BAD ASS MUSICIAN...BAS ASS VOCALS...BAD ASS PERIOD!!!
agreed
Rik is a jack of all trades - power riffs, massive solos, finger tapping - and of course classical and spanish style guitar - and maybe most importantly he is fun to listen to.....so yes should be high on the all time list of guitarists
I concur
How in the hell is it humanly possible to have that much control while playing guitar live in front of tens of thousands. Rik and Getty do it with no effort. Genius!!!!! A gift from God.
What a voice... I mean really? WHO SINGS LIKE THIS anymore? Wow....!!!
No one really. Myles Kennedy is good, Alter Bridge is probably the most melodic rock band around today. The 1970s and 80s had the best vocalists and musicians.
Pretending to be in the 80's. Best of times❤
Prophetic band. Way ahead of the time!!!!
I agree with that. They still hold up though. I've turned alotta people that don't usually like old school rock onto triumph because it's fucking triumph. I think my son may have been conceived in 2017 to just a game 😂
what a great song, the band was never given the respect they deserved
steve jackson I completely agree Triumph are one of my all time favorite bands. Did you know Rik Emmett recently released another solo album. Hes in his 60s now but still produces great music.
NOW...they are........the music lives on..
True that
Who sings like this anymore?! The REAL deal...
They were a popular arena headliner in their day, it just seems they have been forgotten since. I think they missed the Mtv thing by a few years...
Canadian rock stars hardly every get the fame they deserve. Triumph truly is one of Canada’s top bands.
This is such a fucking, kick ass, melodic, highly underrated tune! As good as anything they've written.
43 year old Triumph fan here . Started listening when i was kid and listen to them all the time . Glad i found this band as their music also helped me through life in many aspects .That's what real bands do !! Triumph fan Forever !! :)
About 40 year old huge Triumph fan replying here. I only discovered them because of the TV show Supernatural.
It was love from the first note, i just had to find out more, who they were and so forth.
Same thing happened with another super duper highly underrated band; Kansas.
Easily the most underrated rock band
Canada gave us two of the most gifted,talented,and intellectual bands ever. Rush and Triumph.
Triumph rocked the 80’s! Luv the changes in this tune. The trio brings all their signature elements together in this lost classic
Trio. What sound from Three Masters. This one does not tarnish.
Love this Triumph tune. Evene better with Midsummer's Daydream classical intro. Rik rules !
This is one of the most underrated bands ever. Triumph is awesome.
Listening to this song in quarantine, feeling nostalgic and thinking that this is one of the most amazing, underrated bands on earth.... who plays and sings like this? POWERFUL. It has been decades since this band was front and center... yet this is THE song that I play in my head when I want to just crush it! AMAZING. PERIOD. Drop the mic....
I’m 23 and love this music more than most new music out today.
Oh my goodness, does this ever bring me back! The band's optimistic lyrics, terrific rhythms and killer riffs got me through adolescence better than anything else. Anytime there was frustration or disappointment I could turn to Triumph, or Rush or Ozzy or Iron Maiden or Judas Priest. The music is always there for us.
AMEN! completely agree-- their music's been stuck to my heart & soul for 30+ years now, and it always will be!
Best concert ever in 1985!!! Loved them then and still!!!!
Always loved the guitar solo in this song. The "tapping" progression, the end picking & whammy bar dives, the keys. Really a well, thought out solo, but what else do you expect, it's Rik!
The "tapping" is all lagato with only his left hand. Rik is better with one hand than most players using both.
Not corny. Triumph music can touch the deepest part of a person's heart and soul and stick to it like crazy glue
I'm glad everyone thinks this album is great. Triumph is my step dads favorite band, I just bought him a Rik Emmet autograph original print vinyl of this album and didn't know if it was good or not....I couldn't find Allied Forces which is the only one I'm familiar with(love that album)
My favorite Triumph song, I think I'd give up breathing if I could hear them play this live one more time.
One of the best guitar jams ever.
Rik Emmett has a powerful beautiful voice that touches everyone's heart around the world one of the greatest guitar player in hard rock music and a great song writer. a great underrated song of the 80s Triumph kick as_😎🤘🤘🎸🎸🎸🎸🌹🌹❤️❤️🏋️🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🎸🌹
saw them in concert Nov. 86. My first concert ever. Emmett was on fire.
A phenomenal band that never got their deserved recognition.
Sharon Mahn i totally agree they're one of my all time favs.
God.... Listen to the soaring vocals and lofty harmonies!
One of my favorite bands, words music .
True artistry in Rik Emmit's vocals and guitar prowess. This was my high school senior favorite in 1986. Got to see them in concert at the SanDiego sports arena. The show where they stopped the show because an idiot up front threw a beer on Rik while holding his electric guitar. Then they continued with Fight the Good Fight.
One of the best albums of all time.
Absolutely John. Saw this tour 3 times...great stuff.
Me too and agree totally!
Without a doubt
Yes !!
Agreed.
the thing is they are so talented that they seem to have been over looked. this is the music I grew up with. I was 15 when I found this group.
I was too.. people called them a 'poor man's Rush'.. always hated that comparison because for a time they were the best band out of the North
My favorite Triumph song, maybe cause it breaks my heart every time I hear it- Time goes by, will it ever bring you back again...💔
There are always those songs that bring back "The good old days". Remind you of "The best of Times". Or, rekindle those "Fond Memories of Yester Year". However, few songs follow you through the ups, stay with you over the apex of good times, and remain loyal when no one else will on the terrifying downhill slopes in life. -just remember "They done even know their own hearts, what can they know of mine?"
This song (and the whole album) means more to me than I could ever express in words!!!!
This album is a big part of my life during this era. I apppreciate your comment and wanted you to know I share the same appreciation for this album. God Bless ! PEACE OUT ! KP
God bless ya!
100% agree. I have life memories tied to this album.
Triumph is the greatest rock group ever!
Fantastic. Triumph always had a positive message, and still ROCKED. I actually think they helped make me the person I am today. Sounds corny, but I don't care.
Song for song this was the best Triumph album. Every song on T7 was awesome.
Great Album! This is Awesome, great memories with my late Uncle. Man is miss him.....
As melhores lembranças da minha juventude....1990...
Love and miss this trio. This song is awesome and sadly depressing. Drains my tear ducts as much as the song Killing Time off the same album. OMG, but listen to it over & over.
My favorite Triumph song.
not Magic Power?
me too
Fight The Good Fight
From a lyrical point of view there is none better than Triumph. Not sure who writes their lyrics but they are good. Fight The Good Fight, Ordinary Man, Just A Game, Hold On, Never Surrender, All The Way, Battle Cry...I could keep going. Hands down they are the greatest band to ever take the stage. I am American but all my favorites are Canadian. Molson Ice, Triumph, April Wine, and of course the greatest sport hockey.
Greatest band to ever take the stage? Really? lol
Open Thinker-Rik Emmett was the primary song writer
Open Thinker I agree
voivod, neil merryweather, loverboy, razor, neil young, sacrifice, max wbster, aldo nova, anvil, coney hatch, kick axe, SNFU, DOA, rush, exciter, april wine, cauldron, black mountain, dead brain cells, MAHOGANY RUSH, quest for fire, saga, sheavy, nomeansno, a foot in cold water... triumph, of course.... i mean, BJ Snowden was totally right, wasn't she????!!!!!!!!!

wow I forgot about this great song. One great band. Powerful rock trio of 80's. As time goes by.
How this wasn't a giant hit for this band I'll never know. Great anthem for me when I was 15 back in 85. And great guitar playing
Master Piece ...
I saw Rikk Emmet in concert in 1984. Amazing. He is probably the most underrated musician of all time. Rikk Emmet simply ROCKS! The guitar, the vocals, al of it.
He's definitely one of my all time favorite musicians. Great Guitarist of several genres, great vocalist and an Amazing songwriter.

I heard he was 30 at the time of Thunder Seven an artist with a talent well ahead of his years i think.
Seen Triumph in '83. Rik was just Simply Amazing. Never Surrender!
I saw Rikk Emmet in concert in 1986. so yeah the most underrated musician of all time
Still rocks at 66. Rik still has that honey sweet voice and mad guitar skills.....and that thick long hair, albeit its silver now.
Amen! Saw them in Kansas City in 85 unforgettable.
This is a rare gem TRUE treasure!! AWESOME taste, and many THANKS!!!!
amazing song amazing band, I will never forget Triumph, love it ❤
The man could write, sing and play like nobody's business. Seems to be a lost art these days.
Rikk is a true musician genius for sure
Plenty of great bands making great music right now, you just won't find them on radio stations or top charts... Magic Circle for example released an album last year or in 2016 and it's excellent
Can't you see the fire burnin' in a young girl's eyes
Does she think that she moves ahead if she cuts me down to size
Everybody's got two cents to try to buy some time
But they don't even know their own hearts
What can they know of mine?
Chris Newey Modern society.
Triumph, Rik, Gil, and Mike are the best musicians that I've ever heard over the last 30 years.
Rik was always very unsatisfied with the skills of the other bandmembers. Reason for him to quit Triumph.
This music is therapeutic for me. Awesome
I saw them in Ottawa ,Canada on the Thunder seven tour ,It was a great show!
Masterpiece!!!!
Rik Emmett has this magic and feel
Almost every song by this band is great.
Mark Jackson especially the songs guitarist Rik Emmett wrote and sang.
They always put on a excellent show live....
I listened (and STILL DO) to all the same stuff. I'm right there with ya!!
Best song ever! lyrics really stick.
WHAT A GREAT ROCKER!! BACK THEN.. AND BEFORE, TRIUMPH WAS JUST TEARIN' SHIT UP!! THIS TOUR WAS ONE OF THE FINEST IVE EVER SEEN, BAND WAS EXTREMELY TIGHT, GREAT SOUND, LAZERS & LIGHTS...CHICKS EVERYWHERE!.. MAY SOUND TYPICAL OF 80's ARENA ROCK.. BUT THIS SHOW WAS QUITE OVER THE TOP AND MEMORABLE FOR THAT TIME TO ME. RIK'S A GREAT GUITARIST YET I FEEL HE NEVER GOT HIS DUE, GOT LOOKED OVER BECAUSE OF ALL THE "MILLION MILES AN HOUR" SHREDDERS OF THE TIME.. AND NOTHING AGAINST THEM OF COURSE, IT WAS THE THING..

A true gem from 1985
I agree, Thunder Seven, the best album ever! But it was 1984, that's the reason ...
by far the best triumph alum ever. they were at their peak songwriting wise
I saw them in Sydney. They all blew me away...especially the drummer!!!
Awesome song, great album, great concert when they came to San Antonio!
played this CD to death summer of 1985! best concert I've ever seen in the 50 or so I've seen.
What the hell is in the melted snow water up North? Rush,Triumph,Helix,Killer Dwarfs etc Even Loverboy. All the vocals hitting the stratosphere! On a severe Canadian metal bender right now. I think Coney Hatch is next.
wow how time goes by... here i am 43 years old , feels like yesterday i was heartbroken by some high school skank.ha ha makes me laugh, what a great time i had in those years. still rocking out where you at gabby!
Triumph should've gotten more attention
Excellent Song!
You are correct, true triumph even now.
True musicianship...breathing rare air here folks !
Best Triumph album...too bad no live video available. These guys are ROCK SOLID!
God these guys were good, so underrated.....probably Rush's fault as the world couldn't handle the two best bands, both trios, being from Toronto Canada. Rush is and will always be my fav but Triumph was awesome and this song brings me back. Time for them to get their due!
saw these guys in concert 2 times once on the never surrender tour and once on the thunder 7 tour they kicked ass both concerts
They were advanced for sure. That guitar solo is distinct.
They rock just as good as the best of them
Incredibly underrated band
Time can't change great!
I totally agree, Rik Emmet was one of the forgotten greats of the guitar, or well for most any stringed instrument.
Gill Moore was another, though on the drums he wasnt anything spectacular, he could sing his ass off. Loved the bluesy tone he had.
the duelling guitars! awesomeness
Great solo
Never surrender the best
Saw this tour, it was great!
nope, its neither corney nor or you alone either in that it helped me to be who i am to. you read some of the other comments on this song ? quite a few posts trying to get at the same thing you are. lol love it.
Blijft geweldige muziek (jaren 80 metal)
as time goes by we leave our fate to those who can't see the reality of their actions. the taking of our freedoms breaks every rule of nature and the great spirit of us all
I love triumph my dad made me listen to lay it on the line and I loved it do I did some research on Rik emmett omg he is great
Im sure im going to get alot of haters but i think this trio is better than the other trio from Canada
Buddy Lewis Oh, heavens! Not even close.
Buddy Lewis No Way !!
Not really, no. Triumph is still pretty good, but really nowhere near at Rush's level.
+Buddy Lewis Triumph is so much better than Rush. Miles ahead as a matter of fact in my opinion. I know a lot of people have this deep respect for Rush and they are a good band but Rik Emmett is one of the best Guitarists and Vocalists ever. Drummer (Gil Moore) is amazing, Rush's drummer is amazing too but overall, i think its the lyrics and amazing performance live and in studio that Triumph beats Rush for me.

There's just something about the way Rik emotes and the feelings their catalogue of music inspires.....and I happen to like Rush....I get it, if people are comparing longevity of the band and overall fame but damn it when I hear Rik's vocals soaring on the tracks I literally have an eargasm.....and who else has a drummer with killer pipes like Mr. Moore???..........Gil, Mike & Rik FOREVERRRRRR!!!!!!
Brings back memories :)
Solo de guitarra - espetacular.
Absolute mastery!
Phenomenal!!!
Sorry at 57 Ive lived and breathed Rock n Roll ! Just a Game is with out a doubt the best Triumph album by far !
Allied Forces is with out a doubt the best Triumph album in my opinion.
Awesome !!!
monster guitar, drum, and vocals
TRIUMPH---''TIME GOES BY''
