[@falquest]

Nobody sounded like this in 1982... NOBODY! Legendary and killer!

[@robertoricci3393]

Another criminally underrated band from the underground scene. These guys were so original in the 80's and still are.

[@MantiaRyche]

In CCM they are appreciated, but maybe not by general doom fans.,

[@MetalMarcJK]

The hell they're not! Not respected in the metal scene? Maybe not YOUR little scene.

[@Invading-Specious]

I've met Trouble for the first time in prison "91

[@carldinunno5910]

"Criminally underrated" now that's something I've never heard (or read) before and as it pertains to this particular band-I agree.

[@Brian-te1ry]

wuh whabbout jutn bieb was in if he was in a mettleband?

[@derpellenzer6366]

R.I.P. Eric Wagner! Legend!

Trouble: one of the greatest heavy bands, the power of the riff lies within.

[@PissAnalSpineFreak]

ONE RIFF TO RULE THEM ALL

[@Mike-aka747]

RIP Eric. Watching this again reminds me how powerful his vocals were. This band was a powerhouse and I’ve said before say again. Their 1990 album is one of the greatest if not greatest metal albums ever. The album just keeps coming at you no clunkers all killer. And I’m in full awareness the previous 3 albums were perfect as well !\m/!

RIP Eric. You will be missed

[@timbuk1126]

RIP Eric. They always had a crushing sound. Very unique band.

[@petedefay5490]

I am sooo! Proud to be from Chicago knowing that this band is one of the heaviest around drawing there power from the LORD!!! Long live Trouble forever!!!!!!!!!

[@joescambait]

I came here because of a recommendation from YT and was so happy to see this video because im 54 and loved this band back in the day . now only to find out Eric just died .. Gonna have to burn a few and crank up some Trouble and shed a few tears .. RIP

[@nivasantos7653]

The best doom metal band of the universe!!

[@leandrodellarocha3204]

I was born in 1982! It's unbelievable to imagine that they were doing things like this at that time! I love Doon Metal...Damn sound

[@darksunblade]

Great memories of the Chicago rehearsal spots and watching them practice and write songs. All of it great...yet Troubles self-titled 1990 release is one of the best all-time metal/doom masterpieces. Ricky & Bruce such an underrated guitar duo...with a distinct, unique sound. R.I.P. Barry Stern and Eric Wagner...such cool brothers. Ricky & Bruce are still shredding to this day. Hails and Cheers mates!! 🔥🤘🔥

[@supercommando440]

I bought Psalm 9 when it was released and still playing it LOUD

[@stephennicholson3814]

Saw Trouble around Chicago countless times. From the Aragon to Interactions Lounge. Such a true heavy band. Miss those days. Good times.

Eric Wagner is the answer to "what if Robert Plant did Doom?"

[@jeffk3929]

Great upload! Fantastic musicians from waaaay back when the music mattered. They were larger than life back then and in their prime. Incredible talent and such a solid unit. Eric Wagner's vocals are legendary and really defined the band. I grew up on the west side of Aurora, IL and saw them at Malo's alot as well as other venues around the Chicagoland area...always a great show.

[@wizaxed]

Me too. I'm still here. I remember Eric coming to my buddy's basement playing pool. He was kind of a big deal at the time. Mid-80's ish. Great Band...Psalm 9 is a killer record!!! Brings back memories.

[@Bullheadrecords]

The fact that they were so underrated yet when they get in stage they rocked like they were on the bug screen.

[@carlsimons6616]

I remember quite a few trips from Malos to their Labyrinth rehearsal space on the south side!! That was a great little bar, and Trouble were good friends for years!! Years later, my band ended up playing there with MadDag(formerly The Playge) and another band I can't remember the name of, but had a demo called "Disgruntled Postal Worker". We ended up at the same Labyrinth rehearsal hall on the south side, and partied with MadDog, Trouble, and had a blast!! Good times.

[@jeffk3929]

@@carlsimons6616 That is so cool. I wish we knew each other back then so we could go to shows. I used to frequent the Thirsty Whale in River Grove as well... legendary 👍

[@sharpvonl201]

a lot of people misunderstand trouble. their christianity isnt a traditional one. its born out of the depths of hopelessness. It's all he has left in this world, i'm not christian but i think troubles lyrics are very human and altruistic.

[@Annihilation_0f_The_Wicked9066]

They are well-known in the Doom scene. If you are new to the style and not familiar with them then I get it. But they're not underrated, let alone "extremely".

[@Disambiguation144]

Well said and you are correct. Cheers from Ohio.. Im cranking this now ha, reading the comments. TROUBLE always. Peace

[@vasilivasilopoulos1776]

Rest in Peace Eric Wagner

Came across this by accident and I'm glad I did. Massive double bass drum kit, Marshall stacks.... all the elements of a true metal band. The gritty basics from the beginning. Awesome!!

head banged to them many time in NYC back in the mid-late 80's, one my favorite all time bands, wish they were played on Sirius radio more...

[@petercactus3460]

I can't believe this is 1982.

[@JohnC1919]

Excellent piece,one of the best bands of all time.

[@Laburnus]

Discovered these guys two days ago. They are just brilliant. I love they are doom, but not black Sabbath - master of reality - doom. It refreshing to hear a doom metal band that isn't sounding like British doom bands , and at the same time is not trying to emulate Black Sabbath. Too bad Eric Wagner had to pass away, so that I could hear about him and his band on the radio.

[@mojopin2000]

Holy shit how have I been deprived of these guys for so long? I love everything about this video. I love their sincerity in the interview, I love the local news channel beat reporter doing her best to get them talking.... And I LOVE THE MUSIC!!

Very fine to see the band doing its music in this early time and even though it was not the best scenario for the band....(interview, interviewer, etc.) it was overall, great. Good tunes. Brought back a lot of really good memories from a simpler, more pleasant day and time. \m/ \m/

[@newcreation2633]

Psalm 9 and The Skull are often cited as the cornerstones of doom metal as well influencing other bands of the uprising metal movement during the mid-1980s. A famous story states that James Hetfield and Kirk Hammett from Metallica entered Trouble's stage after a concert, trying to figure out how their amplifiers were set to produce their unique sound.

[@JHBSmit]

Bruce Franklin is during the second interview talking about his favourite song 'The Skull': "A new song that isn't on our album". Since their debut album was released in March 1984 (and 'The Skull' was released in March 1985), this can't be a show recorded in 1982, but it's more likely somewhere from 1984. Nevertheless an awesome upload, so many thanx! And rest in peace, Eric.

[@JHBSmit]

I see now that another guy already mentioned this a couple of years ago, so nevermind.

[@ventorctm]

This video was taken from the bonus dvd included in the 2006 CD reissue of Psalm 9 by Escapi Music, and there it says that is from 82, maybe it was a label info mistake, who knows, i just posted the video with the same info included in the CD. REST IN POWER ERIC WAGNER (1959-2022)
