Original TROUBLE Bassist Interviewed On 'Heady Metal With Jeff Olson' (Audio)

January 3, 2013

Sean McAllister, original bass player for doom-metal legends TROUBLE, was interviewed on the latest edition of "Heady Metal With Jeff Olson", the podcast hosted by original TROUBLE drummer and current RETRO GRAVE mainman Jeff "Oly" Olson. The forty-seven minute interview — which is said to be the first audio chat with McAllister since 1987 — is a deep-yet-light-hearted conversation about TROUBLE's early days, Chicago's metal in the early '80s, and other international metal history. You can listen to the question-and-answer sesion using the audio player below.

McAllister played bass with TROUBLE on the 1983 Metal Blade Records compilation "Metal Massacre IV" (featuring the TROUBLE song "The Last Judgement"),TROUBLE's 1984 debut full-length, "Psalm 9", and 1985's "The Skull".
