I found trixter about 5 years ago when I was on a hair metal binge and I have to say this band really stood out the most to me. I try to share them with as many people as I can. Really solid band , you can hear all the heart in their work. Truly amazing band . This background video just makes them even better to me
For anyone who has only listened to recordings, I would recommend seeing these guys live - cause that's where u can grow an appreciation for them. I know a lot of people talk smack about Trixter, but I'm telling u that they're NO JOKE. Steve Brown plays that guitar like very few, he even subs in with Def Leppard. Nowadays it's a pain in the ass to go see gigs, but these guys I would go
I wish pete was part of the video, overall awesome video! I love listening to your music on my walks or when I work out on the treadmill..you guys have some awesome guitar solos! Even though pete wasn't there..y'all are awesome..may y'all be blessed 🌹🌹🌹🌹
Loved you guys since you were a few years older than my friends/band. We got to open for Trixter, and that was an incredible experience, you guys are not only pros, but great peeps. PJ and Steve, life is WAY TO SHORT to carry grudges, for Pete's sake (pun intended) work stuff out with Pete and Gus....even if it's only on a part-time basis. And of course, looking forward to another Tokyo Motor Fist disc. Stay safe & healthy, and wish you two the best of continued success. Tony (Veilside)
17:25 Oh wow man. I'm so glad you saved that big banner from the parking lot. That's a real piece of R&R history you've got there. Some fans actually put a lot of work and love into that thing. It would be so damn cool if you could find who made it and interview them.
Growing up as Borga’s little sister I never realized back then the level of fame you guys achieved. Y’all were just my brothers friends. I only ever saw two Trixter concerts, the first at Paramus HS but knew every word to every song. I’m proud of all you guys and the continued hustled to make great music. xoxo
Man music was so awesome back then, the thrash metal and the heavy metal, loved it, miss those times. I probably went through 3 Trixter tapes. The casstette tape would rip from listening to it so many times. I mowed so many lawns listening to that first trixter album in my walkman at 16 years old!! I discovered the band from that give it to me good video on mtv!!
From one Steve to another, congrats and thanks. I had similar dreams at a similar time and we never made it out of the warehouse my drummer and gutarist lived in which was also our noise factory - but I don't regret trying. I was listening to the Hear album at about that time, wishing that was us on the record :) Hearing this story in such heartfelt detail is actually really nice, a little window into the lives of you guys, a great story of what hard work and big dreams can come to. Thanks for sharing :)
Fun video! Really missing Trixter these days and hoping there can be more shows and new music sometime in the future as you guys are just too good! Videos like this are a nice way to still get a Trixter fix though so thanks for putting it together!
Saw this tour w Scorpions April 1991, drove three hours to see the band (and Scorpions at their absolute peak on Crazy World), Trixter absolutely CRUSHED it. Remember being 19 and I told my buddy $5 says they open with Bad Girl. He was pissed when those notes kicked in! Good share Steve! What a memory rewind
I was there! From Dumont. Fantastic show with the Scorpions. I also met you guys at the Paramus diner- my friend at the time Danielle introduced me to you guys.
You Guys were great at that show Steve I sure do miss Jimmy tho wish he was still with us all......Me you and Jimmy D had some great times at my studio too 440. Keep playing brother !!!!
Awesome memory. Happy to say I was there to catch the last few songs. Back then once the booze started flowing it was hard to break away from the tailgate party. As a matter a fact, me and my buds made the "Wild in the Streets video" doing just that. We are hanging out around the fire during the solo. So sad to see that building empty now. Open it back up!
Thanks for making the video! It’s probably lost on a ton of people outside of NJ, but you guys saw a dream many of us from Jersey had. To be in a band and play the Meadowlands. I don’t think there are many NJ bands on that list. Congratulations!!!
You have incredible songwriting talent Steve, and you truly hold your own singing the Trixter songs. It's good to see the band is still going. Will you be doing any shows in California?
So happy you guys had a chance to experience being rock gods, albeit for just a flash. I know Hear wasn't a big success, but it's one I constantly spin and I'm so happy it exists. Even if most of the world moved on to grunge back then, some of us didn't and absolutely love that album. I'm from NJ (Chatham) and spent tons of time in and around Paramus. I also saw Van Halen at the Meadowlands in middle school (10/25/91). It's funny because I discovered you guys on MTV and had no clue you were local. And then when I went to buy the album I couldn't believe you had the Continuity comics art on it (I still have every Continuity issue ever made). Anyway, it was fun watching this and reminiscing.
I was 15 when Trixter first Album dropped in the late summer of 1990. I was Hooked immediately and the videos were simply amazing. Thank you Trixterr!!
Technically my first ever concert (aside from my mom playing guitar and singing in a local church event) was Trixter in Corpus Christi TX opening for Warrant and Firehouse. Awesome memories man. Just bad ass that ya'll are still around as well.
Really wish you would have had Pete on this interview. I got to see him in concert opening up for Dokken 20 years ago. I ended up talking to him and his girl a couple of times; super nice people. Last I heard he was playing in a band called Georgia Chrome.
Such a Great Documentary.... I love this band when I was in Grade 7 way back in 1991.... Trixter is very famous during those days in my Country... Philippines... These guys are amazing and talented... I'm sad.. Why they are not anymore active with Mark... Pj.. Pete Loran and Steve.. Pls come back and play again on stage... Cheers from DUBAI UAE 🤘🇦🇪🤘
I hope you washed that DLR banner. Found in the parking lot of an 80s rock show? Who knows the stories that thing could tell lmao! Great mini doc Steve, I saw you guys a few days later in Hartford and Albany. Have some great memories of my own from then :) Rock on!
Saw you open up for Stryper on the Against the Law tour in Buffalo, NY and been hooked ever since! 1st album still one of my go to listens! Not to mention you are a phenomenal guitar player!!
I remember seeing you guys open for Scorpions at The Summit in Houston, Texas. It was my first concert, I was 11.. Pete had a brace or cast on his leg and couldn't move around much. Ive wondered what the story behind that cast was for 30 years..
Was one of the guys in the band Greek Orthodox? I can remember going to the Greek church in Tenafly and the one in Fairview, and there was all this commotion about some rock star who showed up for the Easter services. At the time, I never heard of Trixter, but I do remember some dude saying "it's one of the guys from Trixter"! Maybe they got some bands mixed up?
If I had one wish it would be that the guys of Trixter could sort things out and get back on the road or at least release a new album. The last two albums with Frontiers records has been amazing. Tokyo Motor Fist and PJ Farley's two solo albums are great but miss Trixter.
Tom from Slayer was at the afterparty? That's hilarious. Trixter and Slayer represent two worlds within the rock scene of that era that you'd never expect to cross paths. Did Slayer have a show nearby or something?
Unfortunately, they started to make it big just as grunge was about to take over. If they had just started 5 years earlier, they would have had a different trajectory. I remember seeing them before PJ was the bassist in Washington Township. What was the name of that place? 🤔
I miss those times… I seen Firehouse, Trixter and Warrant. Blood, Sweat, and Beers Tour, summer of 1991. Asheville NC civic center. 💯✌🏼🎊🎉

Great video Steve I really enjoyed it I used to fix the cable TV at your parents house
Awesome brother im 52 and rocked your cd in my iroc-z for many great memories 😆😁

Such great history! I hope we can’t ONLY imagine a future. We need more TRIXTER, here, in the NOW!!
I’ve like this band since I first heard them, opening for Warrant. Saw them live open for KISS on the Revenge tour. That first album was kick ass.
That means alot Kevin. Thanks
Unforgettable moments!!! Priceless memories!! One in a million!!!

best band to ever come from Jersey. Hands down!!!

I remember seeing Trixter at the U.I.C Chicago, I think they opened for KISS. My friends went backstage and met Steve , he was so cool down to earth.
Got the first TRIXTER on 4 track tape when it came out , a fan ever since !!!! Such a great great band

Cool video! Love the studio setup too. Nice product placement. 😉
Very cool, man. Huge accomplishment.
Right On Dudes!!
Congrats!!!
I met them in salt lake they were awesome
Great mini-documentary! Still amazed that nothing is happening with the arena. I heard they may use it again, hope so.
It's being (or was before the pandemic) a rehearsal space for big tours...so the state was still making money on it
Very Awesome Steve!!!
You are a very good guitarists Steve Brown.
I hope you washed that DLR banner. Found in the parking lot of an 80s rock show? Who knows the stories that thing could tell lmao! Great mini doc Steve, I saw you guys a few days later in Hartford and Albany. Have some great memories of my own from then :) Rock on!
Congrats on 30 years of Jersey rockstar knighthood, the 201 is proud!

Saw you open up for Stryper on the Against the Law tour in Buffalo, NY and been hooked ever since! 1st album still one of my go to listens! Not to mention you are a phenomenal guitar player!!
Cheers Cliff...thanks for the kind words mate
Watch That Metal Show where Steve was the guest guitarist. Amazing guitarist
I remember seeing you guys open for Scorpions at The Summit in Houston, Texas. It was my first concert, I was 11.. Pete had a brace or cast on his leg and couldn't move around much. Ive wondered what the story behind that cast was for 30 years..
He broke his leg riding a dirt bike with Team Yamaha - Jeff Ward dirt bike …he played on
Warrant, Trixter and Firehouse show at Allentown Fair Grounds was the best show.
I absolutely wore that first album out in my Walkman back in the day.
Where does the time go?
Seen trixter open for kiss in Oakland ca 1992
I was there
I wonder ware you got that VH T-Shirt!!!!!!
Very cool.
I remember that show well.

Steve O'!
I'm surprised you didn't play "Surrender," as I assume in planning the album cycle it would've been discussed as one of the potential singles?

Great story!! Which amps did you use by that time?
is this concert available to watch anywhere maybe? =)
😍😍😍😍
Am I crazy or are the live moments weird because the drums are doubled or something
Nah not crazy. Just a terrible recording. Your hearing the echo.
Then warrant came out and left this band in the dust
Tom from Slayer was at the afterparty? That's hilarious. Trixter and Slayer represent two worlds within the rock scene of that era that you'd never expect to cross paths. Did Slayer have a show nearby or something?
😮
I know right lol. Sounds like a BS story... And also what were the bullet boys and Tesla doing there anyway too?!
Was the snare echoing like that at the show?
Is the full live show coming out with the re release of the debut?
Oh, and I was at this show
Henry here (Stevo's UA-cam Channel bro) - Looking into releasing bootleg audio of this show. Maybe soon. Is there any interest for this?
Unfortunately, they started to make it big just as grunge was about to take over. If they had just started 5 years earlier, they would have had a different trajectory. I remember seeing them before PJ was the bassist in Washington Township. What was the name of that place? 🤔
What’s the song at the beginning?
Henry here (Stevo's UA-cam Channel bro) - Bad Girl (live)... great riff... good enough to be used for commercials
@@stevebrownproject Thank you man! Killer riff
No interview with Gus, bummer.
Then Nirvana came along and buried everyone!
This is the shit
It’s all fun and games until grunge kills your career.
Bon Jovi, hard rock….? 😂
The drums sounds awful
