Does he look significantly different than he did in Beyond the Lighted Stage?

I don’t recall his appearance in Beyond the Lighted Stage.

He's one of the many folks who discuss how influential Rush was.

We all get old and our appearances change over the years, some better than others.
Bach is no different to anyone from the 1980's who is still alive today.
I look nothing like my 80's persona , in fact I am more comfortable today with my 53 year old body than I was 30 years ago.

Triumph documentary premiering for folks in the U.S. on Friday, May 13 at 8:30 p.m. EDT.

$20 for unlimited viewing through the end of May.  Not sure what happens after that.

Unfortunately, I'm usually sitting on the freeway at 5:30 PDT, but maybe I'll leave work early that day.

Speaking of Triumph, anyone know what's up with that movie that the Beyond the Lighted Stage guy was making about Triumph?

Currently streaming exclusively through Crave and due for DVD release later this year.

I watched it a month or two ago. It was a great watch, and I had forgotten how successful Triumph were in the U.S. They still have a base of superfans.

When I started getting into this type of music, Triumph was (as far as I knew) on the same level as bands like Rush, Styx, Maiden, etc.  This was during the Never Surrender album cycle, so Thunder Seven was my first new album, and then things went downhill pretty fast.  I've still never heard anything from the one album they did without Rik.

I just finished watching the Triumph doc.  I'd say it was good but not great.  A lot of cool, older footage that I'd never seen before, but it also seemed fairly superficial.  They also had a very limited number of guys who had been influenced by the band...Sebastian Bach, some guy named John that I've never heard of...and not much more.  They also had that annoying guy with the super thick glasses who shows up in a lot of Rush stuff (I think he's from some Canadian TV show).  All in all a worthwhile watch.

The guy with the glasses is Bubbles from the Trailer Park Boys. Rush appeared on the show once. It’s a bit of a cult show here, but I personally don’t see the appeal, based on the few episodes I’ve seen.

There's definitely nothing about what I've seen that would make me want to watch.

You guys are in the minority. Most Canadians love that show that is a Canadian made show who both Rush and Triumph have talked about.

But Tim, you haven't seen TV in decades so you're not a good barometer.   Lol

The original video for Magic Power is worth the price of admission.

Just FYI, my comment was referring to Trailer Park Boys.

The Triumph documentary, while not great, was definitely worth the $20 (although I'd have liked to have seen it in a theater).  I'll try to give it another watch before I lose access at the end of the month.
