Another Doug post for Wednesday. I have talked about my cluelessness with Trouble here before. I mostly disregarded them when they released their first album. I mean, I bought it and it was very good, but they had this “White Metal” promotional campaign when all of the great bands were going the other direction. So I wrongly dismissed them for the most part. It wasn’t until years later, when I revisited Psalm 9 that I realized that I was an idiot and this was one of the best metal albums of all time.
When Eric and Ron got the band “The Skull” together in the 2012/2013 time frame to celebrate the early Trouble albums, I could not miss the show. They played Los Angeles in 2013 and I drove down from Sacramento for the show. When I told Eric about driving to the show, his first reply was “why didn’t you fly?”. Eric’s acerbic nature usually come out, but he was pretty cool.
All of the above doesn’t have much to do with this post- I wish I had my act together and was able to see a Psalm 9 era set from this band. Thankfully, Doug was there for it and it sounds pretty nice.
