Classic Rock Revisited recently caught up with TRIUMPH drummer/vocalist Gil Moore. The following is an excerpt from the interview:

CRR: You’ve spoken in the past of how your musical life has seemed in reality like two lifetimes, one as a young single musician touring the world with Triumph and then as a married man with a family running Metalworks and totally enjoying what you’re doing. That being said, now that you’re coming full circle in the sense of being Gil the musician once more, are you apprehensive at all of revisiting that world again?

Gil: "Not really. To me the difference is this is just something I’m doing for fun, it’s like a hobby now. I couldn’t be happier than I am now doing what I’m doing, and I’m not going to complain for a minute about what’s been going on. It’s been a great run with Metalworks and our new school is very exciting, but it’s been fun playing with Rik again. It’s like getting a hockey team back together, but we’re just taking it one gig at a time. It’s not really like diving right back into it in the sense of the band is back together and we’re going back on the road. Its more like this is an adventure, we’re going to play some shows and we’re going to go to some destinations and hopefully not only have some fun, but to also pay the fans back a little bit for being so patient. I really don’t know how it will go. It’s one of those things where we’ll do it and we’ll see how it works out."

CRR: All the fans are hoping it leads to a full scale world tour.

Gil: "Yeah it could or it could not. The real official Triumph plan, and you can print this, the official Triumph plan is there is no official Triumph plan. It’s totally an open thing right now and we just talk about it. The first show or two that we do will be like 'Do you want to go do this show?' We’ll just try it and see how it goes.

CRR: You haven’t touched your drums in quite awhile so I can imagine you’ve probably been doing some serious wood shedding.

Gil: "Absolutely, it’s been fun playing again and its great exercise. I had kind of forgotten how much fun it was to play drums to be honest with you."
