I got the pool of question finalized, just wiating for the label to set confirm it...
here's the questions, as you can see it's a collection of ones you guys helped me out with along with a couple that I threw in...
Rick Wartell of Trouble
How long has the band been together, your first album was released in 1984?
What inspired you particularly to play doom metal?
Why do some people consider Trouble a "Pro-Christian" or "Spiritual" band? Does it have to do to with some the lyrical content?
Which Trouble album is your favorite?
You’re currently doing press for the re-issue of some of the back catalog. Can you fill us in on what Escapi Music is re-releasing and if there will be any bonus material included on these new versions?
Why the cover of Cream on the debut album, there must be some significance?
Why reunite now? It’s been something like 10 years, right? Who called who first?
What’s the status of the side project Wet Animal? Who is or was in that band?
The last album was issued in '95, there also was talk of an album in 2003 that didn’t surface. Why?
When can we expect a new Trouble album? Early Trouble albums were more Doom inspired, while later records were more Stoner Rock. What will the new material sound like?
Is there any talk of a tour? If so, when do you think that will happen? Will it be a world tour?
Trouble is a big name in the "true metal scene,” amongst bands like Manilla Road, Witchfinder General, Brocas Helm, etc. Are you aware that Trouble is a big name in the scene?
Do you follow the current Doom-Metal scene? What are some of your current favorites?
What are some favorite memories of being on tour? Could you share a couple with the readers?
How does the songwriting work in Trouble? Does someone bring in a riff? Or did you begin with lyrics? I know each band has their own process when writing. Could you give us some insight into how Trouble works?
What was it like being signed to Def American Records and how was it having Rick Rubin calling the shots? Do you have any contact with him these days?
What do you think of the metal scene these days? How is it different from when you guys came out? And who are you listening currently, either new finds or oldies from your collection?
In closing is there anything that you’d like the readers of Pivotal Rage, who is a broad group of people from the old school to the new school and everyone in between?
