The promotional video for Therapy?'s Screamager, found on their home DVD, Scopophobia. Buy it from their website, therapyquestion..., or amazon.co.uk. It's in PAL, but isn't region-encoded so it plays fine on a PC.
Robbie McKeegan just saw them for the first time supporting the stranglers in the Olympia in Dublin. Had all their albums and even a collector's edition of vinyl singles or maybe they were eps, anyway they got nicked years ago at a house party. They rocked it! Me mate (he's a drummer), talking about your uncle, said he's never seen a happier bass player, he was fuckin loving it on stage! If you read this you might tell your uncle that therapy meant everything to me growing up, thanks for the music, they fuckin rock!
suffering form depression, hammered on whiskey alone in my room at 3am, not the best scenario, but with this blasting through my headphones, just makes everything seem okay
This reminds me of 1996, the year i met my wife.. we didnt stop listening to therapy.. 15 years later and we are still married.. randomly remembered this song and had to listen.. man.. everyone needs a little bit of THERAPY :0
Spot on mate. But I'm still surprized how little known this album is with modern rockers too. Shows how much image & marketing brainwash even the best of folk. Troublegum is right up there with Nirvana's best in capturing teenage angst IMO, and yet bizarely nowhere near as big.
Record label screwed them over. Told them to take a certain direction, and that was meant to be their "big breakthrough", when they should have done another Troublegum. Saw them last year in a small club, and Andy said that he's glad they didn't hit it big because he's happier doing small tours and playing smaller venues, now that he's older.
They were pretty big, in the UK at least. This was the album though, previous efforts were a tad unfocused and underproduced, with laxed sonwriting, and they werent the same after Fyfe the drummer left.
Not just the above this tune is funky as fuck in the true sense of the word.The drums are tight and the riff is monster.Not just for angry `white boy`...Just saying.
My town has a punk/metal station that's run by students at a local highschool, they play this weird Macbeth rap song that took this EXACT chorus word for word. I was kinda digging it but doesn't seem to exist on the internet so now I'm jamming to this instead
@CeeTeezVeeTeez Therapy? are an alternative metal band from Northern Ireland. The band was formed in 1989 by guitaristvocalist Andy Cairns from Ballyclare and drummer-vocalist Fyfe Ewing from Larne, Northern Ireland. The band initially recorded their first demo with Cairns filling in on bass guitar. To complete the lineup, the band recruited Larne bassist Michael McKeegan.
Only the 2nd song I ever heard by Therapy? (after Teethgrinder), and firmly cemented them as one of my all-time favourite bands. Seen them live dozens of times, in my 40s now and still loving them! New album is pretty decent.
+Nadav Drewe absolutely right, was one of my favourite bands and the sound of the nineties for me reminding of my teens an twenties, going to metal clubs an festivals
Classic, when i saw these guys in cardiff in 94 it was the first time i ever stage dived and i nearly broke my back, ahhh classic times of listening to this on a tape player in the park while drinking cheap cider and smoking nasty hash.
Man every now then something comes along that makes you forget how shite N.Ireland is and just has you dancing with your fists in the air. Troublegum is still on my playlist all these years later.
I just rediscovered this song. I must have been around 15 when the album came out, I loved it so much. Now its 25 years, a quarter century, later and this song blows me back right into my youth and makes me remember to so many situations when I listened to this song with headphones and my walkman... time is an enemy...
I saw a performance of them while they were dressed up as male nurses in a psychiatric hospital. They played very good and are really friendly to the audience. Amazing guys!
Most amazing band i have had the pleasure of meeting , was amazing to be called their tambourine player ;) . i will always love this band and meeting them will always be a happy memory i cherish :D xxx
these guys were in finland on satturday night this week..last night to be more exact...i enjoyd their gig..as of so many other bands such as kotiteollisuus, turmion kätilöt, doom unit and few others ..all hail WANAJA FESTIVAL
Fyfe used a vintage 6.5in, metal-based Slingerland snare, despite endorsing Sonor, which he (in his own words) "tuned until it was almost imploding". He topped it off with a Remo falam coated batter head.
best song released in 1993, maybe the best song Ever. been the main ringtone in cellphone for years and will be for the years to come! Therapy? and Andy Cairns forever...
i love the snares sound. pak pak pak pak...... i read in the studio fyfe went through 20 drum snare skins when recording troublegum because he hit the snare so hard..
I picked up their CD on recommendation from a clerk at a UK record store about 10 years ago,(I'm not from that continent). What an outrageous jam! (and album) I was trying to play guitar along with this song one time and knocked over most of my gear. AMAZING band. Therapy? definitely THERAPY!! (for me)
I always thought this band was brilliant and way ahead of their time, yet so under rated. If they were to have come out recently instead, I feel they would have had much more commercial sucess.
I just looked this up to show a friend who had never heard of Therapy?. He's Dutch, so we can forgive him. This just reminded me why I'm going to see them play Troublegum live later this year...
Got a copy on a tape in 94 when I was 16-17 and fell in love with the album this tune was on. Therapy is what I need now. And I do mean therapy. Emotionally. I've been handling the knocks pretty well but I'm still struggling a bit.
Damn i finally found this song and band again! 20 years trying to remeber this album. Loved this song! Bought it when it first came out, few years later i sold all my tapes and since then i have been trying to find all the old bands i liked. Now i can rest in peace
An amazing song by a brilliant band. Still sounds as fresh today as it ever did. A True timeless classic!
My uncle is the bass guitarist!! Go on Michael!!!!
Robbie McKeegan just saw them for the first time supporting the stranglers in the Olympia in Dublin. Had all their albums and even a collector's edition of vinyl singles or maybe they were eps, anyway they got nicked years ago at a house party. They rocked it!

Really ????????? U sure
your uncle is not only badass..he´s BASSass!!!!, say hello to him ( a chilean fan)
he is a kind personality, and a very cool guy! (remember at The Sziget festival in Hungary, 1996!!). cheers :)
Then send him my gratitude for this band
Still stands up today brilliant Song and producer got it spot on
suffering form depression, hammered on whiskey alone in my room at 3am, not the best scenario, but with this blasting through my headphones, just makes everything seem okay
A great song to get you through bad times. Hope things got better for you in the last 9 months.
I feel you I have the same but I didn’t drank whiskey but beer
Cool story bro
floppycheese96 Dance like no1s watching 🙂
You doing alright now, man?
The drumsound is perfect in everyway ! Troublegum is one of the greatest Masterpieces Album in Music. 100% Killer and No Filler !
This reminds me of 1996, the year i met my wife.. we didnt stop listening to therapy.. 15 years later and we are still married.. randomly remembered this song and had to listen.. man.. everyone needs a little bit of THERAPY :0
How the fuck weren't these lads bigger? Troublegum is a stunning album.
+Dan Faulkner people want rap and hip hop fuckin stuff= crap

Sweet :) Glad he's still enjoying it. Here's to many more years of them churning out good stuff. Keep rocking hard pal! \m/
They were pretty big, in the UK at least. This was the album though, previous efforts were a tad unfocused and underproduced, with laxed sonwriting, and they werent the same after Fyfe the drummer left.
Still holds !!! Amazing song and album
I loved this so much back in the 90´s and now I found it again! Feels great...
great band,managed to catch rock grunge and metal audiences with the masterpiece TROUBLEGUM.
Not just the above this tune is funky as fuck in the true sense of the word.The drums are tight and the riff is monster.Not just for angry `white boy`...Just saying.
Year 2021 and I remembered this song with shy memories :)
The most powerful album for years! Saw them 1995 in Germany. Loved them.
Smash bandits... ностальгия по этой безумно крутой игре и ее прекрасном саундтреке очень сильна
How had I let these slip off my playlist?!?! Such a great band - and simply AWESOME live - so much power
DAMN! 20 years and this song/and album/ still stunning me!
Sláinte! Therapy?
23 years since I came across Troublegum, it's still my pick-me-up record of choice. :) Sláinte!
love the snare drum! love it!
One of the best most underrated bands on the planet!
Tend to agree.. I just did a full music revolution and am back here reminiscing my school days. Hate kill destroy was my song haha....
My town has a punk/metal station that's run by students at a local highschool, they play this weird Macbeth rap song that took this EXACT chorus word for word. I was kinda digging it but doesn't seem to exist on the internet so now I'm jamming to this instead
Heard this almost 20 years ago.a friend brought me a cassette(remember them?) that came in a cigarette pack.this song still rocks
Was it lime green? I still have that somewhere!
@@abigailaxton7461 the short sharp shock ep was on green vinyl.
@@abigailaxton7461 Yep, that's the one!
xCEL7IC ZOMBIEx
Everyone who owns this album remembers cassettes. It wasn’t that long ago. Remember cigarettes???
Haven't listened to this in years, still sounds great!!
Another underrated gem from 90s :/
they rule. saw em twice in dc in the 90s .
Saw Therapy at Donnington is 1996, they warmed up for Metallica.....what a weekend that was.......AWESOME.
+Jillian Dennis Bet Metallica were gutted! :-)
It was one wild weekend,one i will never forget.
Remember it well. Got drunk and fell asleep during slayer!
Ha ha , i was dancing in my bra....lol, happy times eh!
+Jillian Dennis
Metallica should warmed up for Therapy!
this piccolo snare is GOLD
drummer was awesome i love the snare drum "pak pak pak"
he's a lefty
One of the best drummers IMO
02:09 always stuns me

I do like it, but I don't think it's better than 'A Brief Crack of Light'.
I actually hadn't heard of it, but I just looked at it and one of my mates is a member!
+Nadav Drewe absolutely right, was one of my favourite bands and the sound of the nineties for me reminding of my teens an twenties, going to metal clubs an festivals
+Nadav Drewe I'd be up for that one Nadav....sounds like a plan.
+Jillian Dennis sometimes that is the only way forward, my friend.
I've always loved the production on this track! It all sounds so clear and crisp!
I'm 32 now, I think i first heard therapy when i was 12
Therapy.
When i was 12......many years but still my fave band
Troublegum, a classic album from start to finish me thinks
anyone who says methinks is a clarkson sledgehammer wit bore
anyone who worries about things like that needs to get out and have a few beers, sad! lol
+1.
Also it's their best album IMO.
I think it's their worst but I guess that's how opinions work
Gunnar Thiessen shut up its their best
"With a face like this I wont break any hearts and thinking like that I wont make any friends..."
How true is that!
I feel this daily.
Love Therapy? ! Troublegum is one of my favourite albums, will never tire of it!
Just introduced my 8 yr old daughter to her mom's favorite bands from the 90's. Lots of leaping n jumping x just subscribed love love love x
This is the song that got me into them. And I'm still a fan today! Please tour America guys!
Still gives me the chills after all these years,one hell of a song!!!!
Therapy kicks ass!!!!
I saw them at an HFSTIVAL WHFS years ago, really liked them God bless!
I remember " Troublegum" album , in1993 , i listened this album in cassette

I still have the cassette lol
My 12 years old lil' brother loves this song over all. Awesome song, awesome band.
saw them in the stables pub in UL in '97... andy playin guitar in the rafters... legend of a band!!!
Classic, when i saw these guys in cardiff in 94 it was the first time i ever stage dived and i nearly broke my back, ahhh classic times of listening to this on a tape player in the park while drinking cheap cider and smoking nasty hash.
And still going, saw them in 1994 at Rock City, and last year at The Rescue Rooms in Nottingham. 😁💓
They are still playing. new album coming out soon, and doing a gig in the academy, dublin on the 15th may...
I saw Therapy for my 21st Birthday, eleven years ago, loved em then and still do now! Even got a hug! Fantastic!
Zum heulen schön!!!
Das gesamte Album ein einziger Hörgenuss bis heute !!
[Great song] I remember they played this video all day on MTV in the early 90s. That's when I discovered this amazing band.
This is one seriously fucking rocking tune
Saw them last night @ Sub89 in Reading. Still awesome after all these years
Man every now then something comes along that makes you forget how shite N.Ireland is and just has you dancing with your fists in the air. Troublegum is still on my playlist all these years later.
Sunstroke, Dalymount Park August 1994. RHCP, Soundgarden, Helmet and these guys. What a fucking day out.
I as there ice cube played too,great fucking day.
Loved playing this song when i was in a band many yrs ago...! :)

brilliant band drummer, total understanding
I got dumped at a gig when I was young and one of the bands covered this. It made me smile so much.
I still love this album.
Still kickin balls going into 2011 love it still!!
I haven't heard this in years and woke up singing it this morning - couldn't even remember who sang it! It's still awesome
I just rediscovered this song. I must have been around 15 when the album came out, I loved it so much. Now its 25 years, a quarter century, later and this song blows me back right into my youth and makes me remember to so many situations when I listened to this song with headphones and my walkman... time is an enemy...

Can't wait to see these in Sheffield in November. First time I saw them was when this first came out.
Therapy? One of the best bands ever!!!!
Therapy is an awesome band. One of my favourites. This song is banging

I saw a performance of them while they were dressed up as male nurses in a psychiatric hospital. They played very good and are really friendly to the audience. Amazing guys!
Most amazing band i have had the pleasure of meeting , was amazing to be called their tambourine player ;) . i will always love this band and meeting them will always be a happy memory i cherish :D xxx
Damn those snare-drums are out of this world!
these guys were in finland on satturday night this week..last night to be more exact...i enjoyd their gig..as of so many other bands such as kotiteollisuus, turmion kätilöt, doom unit and few others ..all hail WANAJA FESTIVAL
saw these live.lucky enough to get their autographs. amazing band!
This brings me back to my teenage years just went on amazon and repurchased their CDs bloody brilliant band and great lyrics
Fyfe used a vintage 6.5in, metal-based Slingerland snare, despite endorsing Sonor, which he (in his own words) "tuned until it was almost imploding". He topped it off with a Remo falam coated batter head.
Ah the memories of probably one of the most underrated metal bands of the 90's
best song released in 1993, maybe the best song Ever. been the main ringtone in cellphone for years and will be for the years to come! Therapy? and Andy Cairns forever...
They were playing in the Ulster Hall on Monday night in Belfast
Underrated band, amazing jam !!!
Was at the barrier too, first row. What an amazing gig!
This is my youth. There will always be in my heart
This song kicks ass. There new album kickass and is well worth checking out. One of my all time fave bands.
Really? Everyone say he is a cheerful dude. I got to see them live only once, 18 years ago..
Wonderful and unforgettable experience.
Fyfe was the man!!!
Sure is
Love their early creations
Another great and underrated band.. Un'altro grande gruppo troppo sottovalutato
This takes me back to Viennas in Lincoln on a Thursday night...
i love the snares sound. pak pak pak pak......
i read in the studio fyfe went through 20 drum snare skins when recording troublegum because he hit the snare so hard..
I picked up their CD on recommendation from a clerk at a UK record store about 10 years ago,(I'm not from that continent). What an outrageous jam! (and album) I was trying to play guitar along with this song one time and knocked over most of my gear. AMAZING band. Therapy? definitely THERAPY!! (for me)
indeed its been long :D
saw them live one year in roskilde... was a mad concert. still love the song :)
fantastic lp must be in my all time top 10 i love the drum sound
I always thought this band was brilliant and way ahead of their time, yet so under rated. If they were to have come out recently instead, I feel they would have had much more commercial sucess.
Used to be my favorite album back in those days. Therapy? was my first concert... I was 16, I think. Great!
a hugely underappreciated band
great band
one of my favourite songs out of all my bands
this takes me back to my teens
Therapy!, my first and best ever concert the point Dublin-Ireland 95' with Mexican pets & Ash, I was 15 fookin amazing!!!!
how the fuck could you possibly hate this song? im a total death metal fan and all that, yet this is my favourite son
I just looked this up to show a friend who had never heard of Therapy?. He's Dutch, so we can forgive him. This just reminded me why I'm going to see them play Troublegum live later this year...
Saw them live at Preston uni 2kish, awesome!!!
Got a copy on a tape in 94 when I was 16-17 and fell in love with the album this tune was on. Therapy is what I need now. And I do mean therapy. Emotionally. I've been handling the knocks pretty well but I'm still struggling a bit.
loved these guys! didn't even know what they looked like
Hey Dante, aren't you even supposed to be here today?
I can confirm, in fact, he was supposed to be in the video
No time for love Dr Jones!
Best comment ever.
fishbeef3000 Nice to see I'm not the only one that thinks of Dante when watching this :P
Damn i finally found this song and band again! 20 years trying to remeber this album. Loved this song! Bought it when it first came out, few years later i sold all my tapes and since then i have been trying to find all the old bands i liked. Now i can rest in peace
Doing their 30th anniversary tour now
