Phil X crushing Triumph “Allied Forces”

and this is also the best vocal i’ve ever heard Dee sing



Paul’s tone was a bit meh overall but the outro solo makes up for it!
 
Fuck man, I love Triumph but I don’t love these covers. A lot of it is the production and sound of it but very much so the vocals. Not knocking Phil and Dee, as I like them very much but I wish they had chosen singers more in the range of Rik and Gil.

You mean someone like Corpsegrinder Fisher? I agree.
 
A lot of these covers just lose me with the sound. The drums overall are the typical modern, everything fat and warm vs. crackin’ snares and toms with top end where you can actually hear a drum. Everything just thuds.

Solo’s not my thing.

Whoever played that has impeccably clean technique but unfortunately no sense of melody and not enough musical sense to realize those modern style licks do not work in this song at all.
 
Phil X replaced Rik when he left the band in the late 80s.
This album, Diary and VHII were my faves in 1982

Never liked Triumph, and I like Phil X even less. Little opportunistic of Phil isn't it?
Triumph reforms for a few tunes, and there's Mr Phil X cutting in to their dance for "look at me" content. Punk-ass bitch. I have more respect for John Ou.

Opportunistic? He’s putting food on the table as the professional he is. If you don’t like him, that’s fine but it’s weird to say a professional guitar player wouldn’t take a paying gig offered to him if it’s in their wheelhouse. Of course any professional musician is looking for any “opportunity” to make some money.
It’s not like Rik died and he called the next day looking for the gig.😂

That was entirely drummer Gil Moose’s idea to invite PhilX back into the fold

Triumph became my favorite band when Just a Game came out. Lay it on the Line is still one of my all time favorite songs!

I told you that in strict confidence! That’s the last time I lay it on the line with you!
