[Heeplist] Trouble

[Damian Leyland]

I agree that there is no need for the swearing, in fact I thought that Ken was against this and why he was not happy with that element of his work with W.A.S.P so was surprised to hear it on Trouble. The lyrics in places are simplistic which is true of many of his songs over the years and which again is surprising when he wrote so many good songs in the 70's.I still like Trouble but agree with the comments on vocals. If he had a top notch singer in the band it would make so much (better!) difference!
