"Big Trouble" was one of the tracks from the 25 song demo, which appears either on "Blueprint" or "That's All Folks". If memory serves me correctly, the song later was recorded for but did not appear on the "1984" album. Great tune, surprised it never appeared on any album.

Sorry, to answer your question, it was an original...

Very good, thank you kpl. I thought so, it definitely had the right sound. God it's goodhttp://www.vhlinks.com/vhlforum/smilies/cool.gif

I think they should title the new album this, and of course put it on therehttp://www.vhlinks.com/vhlforum/smilies/cool.gif

It´s a great tune! It was originally supposed to be also in VHII. Eddie commented it on Rolling Stone interview (promotion for VHII) saying, that "there was this tune Big Trouble, which had some really good singing. We were going to use it on this one, but maybe we save it for later".

I thought it was supposed to be on "Diver Down" and then "1984" as well?

One of the best songs on the WB demo. Mike is huge on this one.

Yeah,very cool song.

Brett, you're right about that. It was considered for "Diver Down" and "1984" but just never made the cut. Too bad, though.

Yepp, It was also a runner up for DD and 1984. But Markku is absolutely right, I´ve got the same interview for VHII. So I guess it´s of an old origin, but never got used. Too bad, it´s still a great tune.
