"Rock and Roll Machine" is a 1977 song by hard rock band Triumph from their second album Rock and Roll Machine. The song was written by Gil Moore and had existed as part of Triumph's stage act as far back as 1975. Recorded live during the three week sessions for the album, the song discusses a band, described as a machine, who destroys the audience with its speed, fury and intensity.
Though the song was written and sung by drummer/vocalist Gil Moore, it is noted for it's lengthy guitar solo performed by Rik Emmett.
