1. Trouble was formed in Chicago, Illinois, the USA in 1979 by vocalist Eric Wagner, guitarists Bruce Franklin and Rick Wartell, bassist Sean McAllister, and drummer Jeff Oly Olson. Drawing deeply from Black Sabbath for inspiration (with occasional nods to the psychedelic sounds of the late '60s thrown in for good measure), the band forged an uncompromising brand of classic metal all their own, made more unique by their gloomy down-tuned riffs and spiritual, often religious lyrics, which quickly earned them the dubious "white metal" tag. The album and song title Run to the Light was thought to be a religious title while it actually came from Eric Wagner watching Poltergeist and writing it down.
The band toured throughout the Midwest during the early '80s before signing with Metal Blade Records and releasing their amazingly mature eponymous debut (later referred to as Psalm 9) in 1984. The equally impressive (and even more depressing) The Skull followed in 1985 and reflected singer Wagner's struggles with substance abuse as well as the growing turmoil within the group. This led to the replacement of bassist McAllister with Ron Holzner and the departure of drummer Olson, who, as legend has it, had decided to become a preacher. Dennis Lesh was drafted as his replacement for 1987's Run to the Light.
A three-year hiatus followed. Luckily, just when it seemed that Trouble's fortunes had run out, the band was snapped up by Rick Rubin's visionary Def American Records for whom they recorded another self-titled album (Trouble) in 1990 with Rubin in the producer's chair. More experimental than previous efforts, the album (featuring new drummer Barry Stern) expanded upon the group's tentative psychedelic notions of the past while abandoning none of their thunderous power chords.
Encouraged by a euphoric response from the media, the revitalized group embarked on a year-long tour, expanded their fan base considerably, and returned to the studio with every intention of making their next album the one that would push them over the edge. Sure enough, 1992's stunning Manic Frustration realized all their creative ambitions, delving even deeper into Beatlesque psychedelia and featuring some of Trouble's most aggressive, energetic performances ever. But when the album still failed to connect with a wider audience (due perhaps to the grunge revolution that made metal a bad word in 1992), it seemed that Trouble had apparently missed their last window of opportunity.
Ultimately dropped by their record company (that by now was experiencing financial problems of their own), the band issued 1995's Plastic Green Head through the Music for Nations label. But despite offering consistently strong songwriting that harkened back to their doom roots, and the return of founding drummer Olson, the album's impact was noticeably dulled by a badly concealed weariness. Vocalist Eric Wagner would quit the band soon after (going on to form Lid). So the band fell apart in 1996.
Though Trouble had been on hiatus ever since, rumours of an eventual re-formation persisted. On January 26th of 2002 the event that all Trouble fans worldwide had waited for finally happened. The band took the stage in Chicago to once again pound the planet with their particular brand of doom. Eric, Bruce, Rick, Ron and original drummer, Jeff Olson took to the stage to perform a short blistering set that announced to the world that they were back. Since then the band has been out and about in the greater Chicagoland area playing local one-off gigs and headlining various metal festivals while working on their upcoming album.
In February 2004, Dave Grohl of Nirvana and Foo Fighters fame put together a tribute to his metal roots by assembling a who's who of metal with his Probot project. The disc featured various vocalists from Dave's favourite metal bands singing on tunes that he recorded the music for. Eric sang on the track "My Tortured Soul". 2005 bass player Ron left the band and was replaced by Chuck Robinson. In 2006, tragedy befell the Trouble camp when former drummer Barry Stern passed away.
A Live DVD called "Trouble - Live in Stockholm", recorded live in Stockholm 2005, was released in 2006. The new album Simple Mind Condition was set to be released in USA and Europe in late February 2007 and part of their back-catalogue were re-released with extra material (live videos, pictures from the period). The new album has begun showing up in online shops and has leaked onto the internet. The rumoured unplugged CD is being released later in 2007 while Trouble have a busy touring schedule in both USA and Europe this year (2007).
In May 2008, it was announced that Eric Wagner has left the band and had been replaced by Kory Clarke of Warrior Soul. Olson also announced his departure from the band two months later to continue with his own band, Retro Grave. Olson's last show was at "The End Club" in Nashville, TN on July 19, 2008. He was replaced by Wet Animal's Mark Lira for the band's upcoming U.S. East Coast tour.
In a September 2008 interview with Rock N Roll Experience, guitarist Rick Wartell mentioned that Trouble has written "eight or nine songs" for their next album, and would begin recording it after touring. When asked which direction is the new music going in, Wartell replied, "I know people have said this a million times and I know you've heard this a million times, but it's pretty fucking heavy, let's put it that way! The music end of it that Bruce and I are writing is getting heavier and heavierā¦it's getting heavier and then we want Kory to incorporate his style to what we are doing, that's basically all that we really want out of this."
On November 18, 2008, Trouble announced, via their website, that they were in the process of writing songs for an album that would likely be released in the summer of 2009. A live bootleg recording featuring the new line-up was released via the band's website in December 2008.

2. Earning his nickname from a hard-living lifestyle, Atlanta rapper Trouble signed a record contract just before landing in jail in the late 2000s. Transforming that turmoil into creative inspiration, he issued his debut mixtape, December 17th, in 2011. He released a fresh batch of trap every year until 2018, when he teamed with producer Mike WiLL Made-It for his official studio debut, Edgewood.
In 2008, Trouble (born Mariel Semonte Orr) had just signed a recording contract with Duct Tape Entertainment when he was caught in a home invasion that ended in kidnapping and armed robbery charges. He served his sentence and was released on December 17 , 2010, the date he would use as the title of his debut mixtape, which arrived in 2011. December 17th featured appearances by Waka Flocka Flame and Future and was quickly followed by Green Light. That set included collaborations with Future, Yo Gotti, Gucci Mane, and many more. Without slowing down, he continued with yearly releases, issuing 431 Days in 2012 and The Return of December 17th in 2013.
Continuing his prolific run, Trouble channeled his creative energy into a deluge of mixtapes including All on Me (2014), #ZayDidIt (2015), Skoob Fresh (2015), Skoobzilla (2016), and Year in 2016 (2017). On the side, his 2016 collaboration with fellow Atlanta rapper YFN Lucci, the single Key To The Streets (Feat. Migos & Trouble) reached number 70 on Billboard's Hot 100.
In 2018, Trouble signed with Mike Will's Eardruma label, issuing "Bring It Back" with Drake. That track was the first taste of his official studio debut, Edgewood. Exclusively produced by Mike Will, the high-profile set recruited additional guests the Weeknd, Quavo, Offset, Fetty Wap, and Boosie Badazz. Edgewood also became his first appearance on the Billboard 200. After a relatively quiet year void of a new album, Trouble returned in 2020 with Thug Luv . Home to the hit Quavo collaboration "Popped," the set also featured 2 Chainz, Boosie Badazz, Jeezy, City Girls, and more.
3. Trouble was a one-off blues/jazz band that recorded two songs ("Snake Eyes" and "Mother's Gone") for season 3, episode 5 of David Lynch's TV series "Twin Peaks". The band members were David Lynch's son Riley Lynch (guitar), Alex Zhang Hungtai (Dirty Beaches; saxophone) and Dean Hurley (drums).
4. Trouble was a short-lived rock band from Los Angeles that released one self-titled album in 1977 on United Artists Records. The band members were Rick Failla (vocals), Carey Raymond (guitar), Jim Morris (guitar, keyboards), John Higgerson (bass), and Brian Glascock (drums).

Trouble Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And the eye that sees us all
Light shines through my window
And I`m sure it will lead us - alright
I hear music all around me
Someone born in the next room
Count the dead and wait for morning
We`re all standing in a row - time to go
But it just rains on me
All his pleasures seem to grow
Till I smile no more
We can see the color of our dreams
If we all had been sleeping
I can see the blind man laughing
'Cuse me while I close my eyes
The song "Fear" by Trouble is a beautiful amalgamation of lyrical depth and vocal finesse. The singer starts by talking about the fear of living and how it's a universal fear that everyone experiences. The next line, "And the eye that sees us all," is a reference to the belief that there is always someone watching over us, and that there's a higher power that controls everything. The singer seems to be trying to find comfort in the thought that there's something out there that's looking out for us.
As the song progresses, the singer talks about how light shines through his window, and he's sure it will lead him to the right path. This line could be interpreted in different ways, but one of the possibilities is that he's using the metaphor of light and darkness to describe his mental state. He's been in the dark for so long, and he's finally seeing a glimmer of hope. The next line, "I hear music all around me," is another metaphorical line. The singer is trying to say that in the chaos of life, there's always something beautiful to be found, that one just needs to listen.
The singer then talks about counting the dead and waiting for morning, which is a reference to the gloomy reality of life. We're all here for a limited period, and death is inevitable, and it's something that we all have to face. He then says, "Keep on hopin` for sunny days, but it just rains on me," which is an expression of his frustration. He's hopeful that things will get better, but time and again, he's been disappointed.
Towards the end of the song, the singer talks about how he can see the color of his dreams if he closes his eyes. This line is a reference to the power of visualization and how we can manifest our dreams by imagining them. The last line, "Cuse me while I close my eyes," is an expression of surrender. The singer is done fighting, and he just wants to close his eyes and let whatever happens, happen.
Line by Line Meaning
There`s a fear called livin`
Living can be scary and present a lot of unknowns
And the eye that sees us all
There is a force greater than us that observes everything we do
Light shines through my window
The sun is coming up and a new day is beginning
And I`m sure it will lead us - alright
The coming day will bring good things and positivity
I hear music all around me
Music is present in everything we do and all around us
Someone born in the next room
New life is constantly entering the world
Count the dead and wait for morning
Death is inevitable and we have to wait for a new day to begin again
We`re all standing in a row - time to go
We are all on this journey together and eventually it will come to an end, time to move on
Keep on hopin` for sunny days
We should maintain hope despite the adversity we face
But it just rains on me
Sometimes things don't go as planned and there are setbacks
All his pleasures seem to grow
The things that used to bring joy are changing and not fulfilling anymore
Till I smile no more
The happiness and joy is fading away
We can see the color of our dreams
Our goals and aspirations can be realized if we put in the effort
If we all had been sleeping
Our dreams and goals can be achieved if we work together and support one another
I can see the blind man laughing
Even those who face great adversity and hardships can find joy in life
'Cuse me while I close my eyes
Taking a moment to reflect and step back from the world can be necessary sometimes
