I love talking to Gil Moore from Triumph. As a kid who grew up in Buffalo, N.Y. I was inundated with Triumph music from an early age through local radio. All these years later, it's always a thrill to talk to anyone in the band.

As you know, the band reformed with the help of Phil X, Brent Fitz, and Todd Kerns to bring the music to the people. How did it go? "The response was so powerful from the audience" is just one comment of positivity from Gil. "The band is having a blast. The crowd is having a blast. It's a lovefest."

"A piece of cake" is how Gil felt about his vocals and drumming and getting back on tour after decades off. "Just getting on there and doing it." He said everyone got their sleep, no drinking, just laughs and fun times on the road. "It's like a family vacation. It couldn't be more fun."

As far as stage production goes, he said they're bringing out lasers on the next tour. "We were always a go big or go home kind of more." He also alluded to bringing out more pyro. Yes!!

He also talked about the lack of Mike Levine on tour. He said his health hasn't allowed him to hit the road, but he's there in spirit and on the screens in the arenas.

That's for starters, talking with Gil....

As I mentioned, it's always great to chat with Gil. I cannot wait to see him and the band this fall.
