00:11:22,048           By this time, 291 00:11:22,081 --> 00:11:24,350         I'd been in bands                 that had played 292 00:11:24,383 --> 00:11:27,053     straight mainstream-ish              kinds of music, 293 00:11:27,086 --> 00:11:29,889      so I was disenchanted. 294 00:11:29,922 --> 00:11:32,591         Plus, I-I really                   wanted to be 295 00:11:32,625 --> 00:11:35,761       in something that was          playing progressive rock. 296 00:11:35,795 --> 00:11:41,901        (rock guitar music) 297 00:11:41,934 --> 00:11:43,736

   I knew that this was going         to be a happening band 307 00:12:02,621 --> 00:12:04,890          and they were                building a reputation 308 00:12:04,924 --> 00:12:06,726           quite quickly                   because of Rik, 309 00:12:06,759 --> 00:12:08,761            so there was                  some notoriety. 310 00:12:08,794 --> 00:12:10,763         If you're looking              for a guitar player, 311 00:12:10,796 --> 00:12:13,899      there's only a handful           of great guitar players 312 00:12:13,933 --> 00:12:15,234

      and he was wearing one           of those hats of his. 328 00:12:51,170 --> 00:12:52,972          He knew we were                  looking at him 329 00:12:53,005 --> 00:12:55,508

00:13:23,169 --> 00:13:24,170           Rik Emmett:                  At a certain point, 345 00:13:24,203 --> 00:13:27,006        Mike Levine slid an              Attic Records cheque 346 00:13:27,039

         there's a record                 company cheque. 349 00:13:32,678 --> 00:13:34,480       So if I join this band 350 00:13:34,513 --> 00:13:38,484    the ability to make records         is not that far off, 351 00:13:38,517 --> 00:13:40,853    it's a strong possibility 352 00:13:40,886 --> 00:13:43,222        'cause they know how              to make it happen. 353 00:13:43,255 --> 00:13:45,224        And Triumph said,             whether we work or not, 354 00:13:45,257 --> 00:13:47,359        we'll guarantee you               175 bucks a week. 355 00:13:47,393 --> 00:13:50,029       And so, that, with my            girlfriend's earnings, 356 00:13:50,062 --> 00:13:52,198         we could rent a                 crappy little house. 357 00:13:52,231 --> 00:13:54,700        Act III would not              have made that possible, 358 00:13:54,733 --> 00:13:58,370          there wasn't a               consistent 175 a week. 359 00:13:58,404 --> 00:14:00,206         So, meeting them,                     I went, 360 00:14:00,239 --> 00:14:02,641         maybe there's a                stronger marriage here 361 00:14:02,675 --> 00:14:04,810

01:10:27,756 --> 01:10:28,891         I can't remember                    which ones, 1755 01:10:28,924 --> 01:10:32,094    but those guys went to the       Triumph show in New Mexico, 1756 01:10:32,127 --> 01:10:34,430         saw the show and                  went holy shit! 1757 01:10:34,463 --> 01:10:37,099      And then they hired              Triumph's lighting guys. 1758 01:10:37,132 --> 01:10:39,101      What better way to have          the biggest show in pop 1759 01:10:39,134 --> 01:10:41,437      then just to steal the            biggest show in rock? 1760 01:10:41,470 --> 01:10:43,272           (rock music) 1761 01:10:43,305 --> 01:10:46,308            ♪ Yes I know 1762 01:10:47,309 --> 01:10:49,111            ♪ You've got

01:10:54,650         Triumph loves you! 1766 01:10:56,151 --> 01:10:59,455            Reporter:                   This year's Triumph               tour is now over, 1767 01:10:59,488 --> 01:11:01,991       but next March after a           new record's released 1768 01:11:02,024 --> 01:11:04,593     the band will be back                on the road again. 1769 01:11:04,627 --> 01:11:07,630        Ninety more concerts            in ninety more cities. 1770 01:11:08,297 --> 01:11:11,000           Rik Emmett:                   There was so much              touring and so many gigs 1771 01:11:11,033 --> 01:11:14,003     but the whole landscape               was changing. 1772 01:11:14,036 --> 01:11:17,339       AOR radio did not mean          what it had meant before 1773 01:11:17,373 --> 01:11:20,676  and MCA said "Thunder Seven"       was too album-oriented. 1774 01:11:20,709 --> 01:11:23,679         It's the MTV era,                 we-we need hits, 1775 01:11:23,712 --> 01:11:25,114           we gotta get                   outside writers. 1776 01:11:25,147 --> 01:11:26,115           So we gotta                      get a producer 1777 01:11:26,148 --> 01:11:27,116      that had those kind                   of connections 1778 01:11:27,149 --> 01:11:28,517      and brought those songs. 1779 01:11:33,322 --> 01:11:36,392          Ron Nevison:                 A lot of people like the          engineering work I did 1780 01:11:36,425 --> 01:11:41,230 on Led Zeppelin, Bad Company,          The Who, Quadrophenia. 1781 01:11:41,263 --> 01:11:43,399      And as a                         producer, uh, 1782 01:11:43,432 --> 01:11:44,400            I was on the charts, 1783 01:11:44,433 --> 01:11:47,169                    I was, had a                     hot mid-80s. 1784 01:11:47,202 --> 01:11:48,904           Summer of '85, 1785 01:11:48,937 --> 01:11:52,007   my Heart single exploded,              "What About Love". 1786 01:11:52,041 --> 01:11:53,909           Rik Emmett:                   Ron was the guy that             got parachuted in 1787 01:11:53,942 --> 01:11:55,411          to save these                 things commercially 1788 01:11:55,444 --> 01:11:57,579    and now his reputation with       record company presidents 1789 01:11:57,613 --> 01:11:58,580         was he's the man, 1790 01:11:58,614 --> 01:11:59,581            he's the guy                  that can do it. 1791 01:11:59,615 --> 01:12:00,916           Ron Nevison:                     In those days, 1792 01:12:00,949 --> 01:12:05,454  the albums that had rock hits    that could cross over to pop, 1793 01:12:05,487 --> 01:12:06,522     that was the big success, 1794 01:12:06,555 --> 01:12:08,190           that was what                    we aimed for, 1795 01:12:08,223 --> 01:12:10,326       uh, hopefully without           compromising the band. 1796 01:12:11,860 --> 01:12:15,531    I had read that Triumph              was a faceless band, 1797 01:12:15,564 --> 01:12:20,703   so I pushed them a little       bit to have Rik sing mostly. 1798 01:12:20,736 --> 01:12:22,871         It had a lot to                     do with MTV, 1799 01:12:22,905 --> 01:12:24,707       lead guitar player,               singer, frontman. 1800 01:12:24,740 --> 01:12:26,842        I thought it would                be a better look. 1801 01:12:26,875 --> 01:12:28,877         Ron's job was to                   make records, 1802 01:12:28,911 --> 01:12:32,014         not to supply an                 image for a band. 1803 01:12:32,047 --> 01:12:34,750      Ron has a particular             way to work 1804 01:12:34,783 --> 01:12:37,519            and, uh, he can be a             little heavy-handed, 1805 01:12:37,553 --> 01:12:39,922    which is good with a band, 1806 01:12:39,955 --> 01:12:43,225      but Triumph was used to        doing records on their own, 1807 01:12:43,258 --> 01:12:45,427        so it was a little               backwards for them. 1808 01:12:45,461 --> 01:12:46,962          Mike Levine:               Traditionally in Triumph,                you know, 1809 01:12:46,995 --> 01:12:49,798   Gil would sing some songs and     Rik would sing some songs. 1810 01:12:49,832 --> 01:12:52,568          Now it became,               you know, almost a war. 1811 01:12:52,601 --> 01:12:55,404        Ron would play Gil                 off against Rik 1812 01:12:55,437 --> 01:12:56,972      or Rik off against Gil, 1813 01:12:57,005 --> 01:12:59,141       and, you know, about           who's going to sing what 1814 01:12:59,174 --> 01:13:01,944 and he'd tell them both they     were going to sing this one song 1815 01:13:01,977 --> 01:13:04,146           and they both                learned it and then, 1816 01:13:04,179 --> 01:13:05,914        no, Gil, you're not               going to sing it, 1817 01:13:05,948 --> 01:13:07,549        or Rik, you're not                going to sing it. 1818 01:13:07,583 --> 01:13:10,552       I'm thinking this is            not going to end well. 1819 01:13:11,387 --> 01:13:13,222           Rik Emmett:                       We'd cut all                    the beds in LA 1820 01:13:13,255 --> 01:13:15,257     and Ron pulled me aside 1821 01:13:15,290 --> 01:13:17,893    and said you've got to be      able to sing all these songs. 1822 01:13:17,926 --> 01:13:20,329         And I went, whoa,                whoa, whoa, whoa. 1823 01:13:23,665 --> 01:13:25,968          I know that it's                  Gil's band, 1824 01:13:26,001 --> 01:13:28,003         really in the end,                it's Gil's band, 1825 01:13:29,004 --> 01:13:31,006          and Ron doesn't                 understand that. 1826 01:13:33,108 --> 01:13:35,244         On the flight back                 I sat with Gil 1827 01:13:35,277 --> 01:13:37,446           and I broached                    the subject. 1828 01:13:38,280 --> 01:13:41,617       I kind of feel like we          should give this a shot. 1829 01:13:41,650 --> 01:13:44,153          And Gil was not                  happy with me, 1830 01:13:44,186 --> 01:13:45,487         I was a traitor. 1831 01:13:45,521 --> 01:13:49,491        And so it was like,               oh man, you know, 1832 01:13:49,525 --> 01:13:51,994        I think I even had              tears on that flight. 1833 01:13:53,829 --> 01:13:55,798           Gil Moore:                  It's enough of a problem           for us to figure out 1834 01:13:55,831 --> 01:13:58,467        how we're going to            write a really good song 1835 01:13:58,500 --> 01:14:00,202        and how we're going                to perform it, 1836 01:14:00,235 --> 01:14:01,670           we don't need                somebody else in here 1837 01:14:01,703 --> 01:14:04,740   mucking around with a formula     that we already know works. 1838 01:14:04,773 --> 01:14:06,575          Mike Levine:                   We're flying home                 and nobody's happy 1839 01:14:06,608 --> 01:14:09,311        and we're arguing                    about stuff. 1840 01:14:09,344 --> 01:14:11,113          You know, as we                 called ourselves, 1841 01:14:11,146 --> 01:14:12,815       the Three Musketeers, 1842 01:14:12,848 --> 01:14:13,916          all of a sudden                 we weren't really 1843 01:14:13,949 --> 01:14:15,751   the Three Musketeers anymore. 1844 01:14:15,784 --> 01:14:18,287        That was the very,                 very first time 1845 01:14:18,320 --> 01:14:21,490       that I felt isolated              from Mike and Rik, 1846 01:14:21,523 --> 01:14:23,125    I mean, just in every way, 1847 01:14:23,158 --> 01:14:24,793        we just felt like,                    you know, 1848 01:14:24,827 --> 01:14:28,530 all of a sudden the brotherhood  just seemed to feel fractured. 1849 01:14:28,564 --> 01:14:32,367         ♪ Hold on to love 1850 01:14:32,401 --> 01:14:36,638         ♪ Just one night 1851 01:14:36,672 --> 01:14:38,974          ♪ Don't try to                   fight about it 1852 01:14:39,007 -->

       if we don't get away                from this guy, 1855 01:14:47,716 --> 01:14:48,984           we won't even                    get a record. 1856 01:14:49,017 --> 01:14:51,687         And aside from his               technical skills, 1857 01:14:51,720 --> 01:14:54,223           Mike Clink was               cheering us on saying, 1858 01:14:54,256 --> 01:14:56,024      you know, hey the world          hasn't come to an end, 1859 01:14:56,058 --> 01:14:57,359        we're going to make                a great record, 1860 01:14:57,392 --> 01:14:59,228     let's pull this together. 1861 01:14:59,261 --> 01:15:02,264       He was our Dr. Phil,                   you know, 1862 01:15:03,098 --> 01:15:06,869 that was pulling us back from    the brink of the abyss, really. 1863 01:15:06,902 --> 01:15:09,371           Mike Clink:                     We completed 90%                  of the record, 1864 01:15:09,404 --> 01:15:12,341        yet we were still                shy of that one song 1865 01:15:12,374 --> 01:15:14,843        and maybe possibly                that one single, 1866 01:15:14,877 --> 01:15:18,747        so it was up to the           band to write that song. 1867 01:15:20,015 --> 01:15:22,050          Irving Azoff:               It was a difficult time         for rock bands in the 80s 1868 01:15:22,084 --> 01:15:26,221    that weren't making three        and a half minute jingles, 1869 01:15:26,255 --> 01:15:28,657        but I never expected            pop hits from Triumph. 1870 01:15:28,690 --> 01:15:30,425        Now I can't tell you             that our, you know, 1871 01:15:30,459 --> 01:15:33,061        one of our promotion        heads didn't say to them, 1872 01:15:33,095 --> 01:15:35,697       give me something I             can put on the radio. 1873 01:15:35,731 --> 01:15:38,033          Mike Levine:                    Every promo guy                  wants hit singles, 1874 01:15:38,066 --> 01:15:41,537        so we had to deliver              and Ron's gone, 1875 01:15:41,570 --> 01:15:42,971            what are we

   let's make a great record. 2042 01:24:25,994 --> 01:24:28,563         And I think it was          eleven shows we played, 2043 01:24:28,596 --> 01:24:31,232           and obviously
