This band got me through a tough period of my life in my preteens and teens and into adulthood. Even now I go back on occasion and feel like I can still relate to songs like retina and the war is over. Their music really hasn't aged one bit. I hope they put out something soon. They've been such a great band.
I got into this band because as a kid I downloaded a rare deftones song called “Hover”… Then eventually found out it wasn’t deftones but actually trust company I went a out and bought the lonely position of neutral on cd and I loved it. It was a great time, skateboarding, baggy jeans, spiked gelled hair. Good memories.
"The Lonely Position of Neutral" is one of my top albums of all time. It's one of the few albums I can listen front to back with no skips. This band was so good, sucks they stopped.
Downfall might be TrustCompany's most well-known song, but they've got a swarm of excellent songs. Falling Apart, Stronger, The War Is Over, Silently, Crossing The Line, Erased, Finally, Deeper Into You, The Fear, Running From Me and Someone Like You are amazing as well!
Bama native here. Kevin visited a restaurant I was working at at the time and got a pic with him. Super chill dude and that was like 10 years ago. I remember “Downfall” being on that Disney Skating game.
@@_-_-_-Prof.BoskoBiathi-_-_-_ I had a 5 speed little blue ford escort back in the day and I loved to blast Figure 8 and act like my car was fast revving it up back in the day
Y’all will all be happy to know that the band got back together and is touring again! 😁 I saw them last night and they truly blew my mind. They sounded phenomenal! If anyone is interested, The next date so far is welcome to Rockville in Jacksonville, May 9-12!
Painfully underrated. Theyre debut album was huge in my formative years and still listen to this day. No skips. Played it once at work and a girl working next to me liked it and inquired and told her about it and said "came out the year you were born haha" and her eyes got all big lol. Hopefully a new wave of exposure is in the cards for them and they get the recognition they've deserved.
They released an album in 2011 called 'Dreaming in Black and White' that's significantly better than anything they did before it, I would highly recommend everyone give it a listen
@@ericmarvel909 I love their first album too but it’s definitely a product of it’s time, I feel like dreaming in black & white has a more timeless sound
I love being reminded of bands I forgot about. I had the CD. No idea what happened to it. Thank God for Spotify. Any band. Anywhere. Any time. I'm gonna listen to them tonight.
Still a fan of TRUSTcompany as they are one of the few bands from their era that aged well. They also produced good albums instead of just wrapping 40 minutes around the three singles you wrote. One of the few bands from the early 2000s that I can say never disappointed me. Hope the best for all members and hope the reuniting goes well.
I still listen to their 3 albums regularly, have all 3 of them sitting right here. SO underrated, Stronger, Downfall, Running From me are just masterpieces of skate punk metal mixies. Their last album Dreaming in black and white is just a masterpiece from start to finish. Each album was even stronger (no pun intended) than the last. it's so sad they disappeared. I'm listening to a least a few of their songs once a week at least. True Parallels, Lonely Position of Neutral and Dreaming in Black and White are all 3 masterpieces to my skate punk metal heart..lol
The Lonely Position of Neutral was a great album. I remember getting that cd in '02 and listening to it so many times. The singer had an interesting voice, and the band had a good sound.
Ok I think this is the first time this has happened to me in the history of my life. This is the first RNR video that I’ve seen that you show your face and you look EXACTLY the way I always imagined. Amazing.
I bought their 1st album when I was 11 and would get home from school shortly before my parents and jam out to this while doing homework on my dads stereo! Good memories.
The LPON stayed in my old car single CD player back in 2002 for months on end. I could listen to it straight through over and over and never got bored. man I miss those days.
Saw these guys in late 2008 and was fortunate enough to meet them all. SUPER nice guys. Very friendly and polite. James actually walked up to ME and initiated a conversation (due to my Trust Co shirt). Literally the nicest band I've ever met. and I've met a good amount.
Saw these guys open for Korn and Disturbed in 2002. Shortly after that they just poof, disappeared from any spotlight. Always wondered what happened to them. Thank you!
I love when one of these videos pops up and gives me one of those, oh yeah, that band! Then I go back and listen, and there's a flood of memories. This band had some great tracks, and they hold up.
Trust Company such an amazing band. They don’t get enough love. Downfall was my walk out song for wrestling my senior year. One of my favorite bands The lonely position of neutral is amazing
I discovered this band when they opened up for Korn back in 2002. I love them right away! Favorites are "Running from Me" "Someone Like You" "The Reflection" and "The War is Over." I still listen to them to this day.
The song was the theme song for one of the WWE pay-per-views, I can't remember which one. But that's how I became a fan. I got introduced to a lot of hard rock music because of WWE. Drowning Pool, Rob Zombie, Limp Bizkit, Trust Co, all had ppv theme songs.
Only knowing Downfall, when my buddy raved about this band I shrugged them off. I gave in and listened to the first album and I’ve been a fan ever since! Great vocal work on so many of these tunes!
The biggest promotion they got was arguably by WWE of all places. Having not one, not two, but three songs used as themes for PPVs watched by millions and sampled every week on national TV got their name out there more than anything else.
As a teenager in Montgomery, my friends and I would go to their shows (41Down) and do a little bit of partying with them. Good times from what I can remember
Great video! I was fortunate enough to be close with these guys during their time in Florida. I first saw/met them as 41 Down when they were playing small clubs in Orlando. Watching and being a part of them getting bigger was exciting. The last time I was around them was when they were on tour with Korn around 02/03 (?). Great times!!
Trust company is insanely underrated. How whenever Top whatever " Rock one hit wonders of the 2000s" lists are compiled and "Downfall" isn't on the list or even mentioned is absurd. You know bc can't omit songs like " Headstrong" ( the most corny, lame overrated song of the past 25 years), the Franz Ferdinand cover of take me out called "Paralyzer" by Finger Eleven or " Wherever you will go" or whatever 1000 songs it ripped off or bands that ripped this off and don't forget the awful covers bc "Downfall" doesn't compete and wasn't 13 year old girls favorite song.
Any 2000's ALT/Nu metal list without "Downfall" or "Wasteland" by 10 years on it instantly loses any sort of credibility (imo), MX Unleashed and the song Downfall is forever burnt in my memories lol such good times.
I heard Downfall when WWE made it a theme for a PPV back then. I liked it so I bought the album soon after. I think I still have it or maybe not... Just another band from my years of youthful exuberance...
I'm so glad I got to see them live soon after Dreaming In Black and White came out. So glad to hear both their new stuff and their classic stuff in their set!
I have those first two albums and enjoy them a great deal. They had a nice sound, without all the screaming associated with much of their contemporaries. You don't need long hair or a marketable image to make good rock music, and these guys proved that.
The lonely position of neutral is the definition of nostalgia for me and is in my top 10 favorite albums ever. I’m usually very picky about rating albums but I give this album 10/10 along with toxicity, untouchables, hymn of a broken man, and dirt
I first learned about and saw Trust Company when they opened for Korn back in the early 2000's in Wichita KS. I was really impressed with them, although I and most people were there to see Korn. I did make note of them and bought their CD the following week and loved the whole CD. They have a unique style. I always wondered what happened to them. Thanks for the video explaining about them.
So long story short, it kind of went: Major label before the record: “Trust us, we know best.” Major label after the record: “You’re not good enough, thanks for playing!”
I was 11 when I discover this band. WWE had just released their PPV theme song for survivor series 2008 and it was Trust Company - Falling Apart. I fell in love with the song and continue to listen to their other music and became a huge fan. Still to this day I listen to all three of their albums on Apple Music
I remember getting their 1st album in 02. I was 14, I was just about start high school and I remember the album was so good. Of course I was sold with downfall, that’s why I got the album at my local target lol. But it’s a album I still listen to 21 years later today. The voice and Riffs drew me in. Couldn’t get into the other albums sadly. Just didn’t hit like the lonely position of neutral.
I fucking loved this band...1st album, incredible...2nd album, also incredible....3rd, also incredible.. ive spent alot of time listening to their music.
I saw them live at Rock on the Range in 2011. They put on a good show, but what I remember most is how so many people had signs for them to play downfall.
Here's the story I did about the career of Helmet ruclips.net/video/5OTdg3e1kXk/видео.html
Trust company is criminally underrated. In 3 albums they literally don’t have a bad song.
I totally agree
This band got me through a tough period of my life in my preteens and teens and into adulthood. Even now I go back on occasion and feel like I can still relate to songs like retina and the war is over. Their music really hasn't aged one bit. I hope they put out something soon. They've been such a great band.
this was the first band I first really got into as at 14 year old, spawning a great metal taste through the years
@SkaisntDead-kk2vj not my first. I was probably 12-13. But definitely a big one. My first was all the nu metal when I was 10-11.
I got into this band because as a kid I downloaded a rare deftones song called “Hover”… Then eventually found out it wasn’t deftones but actually trust company I went a out and bought the lonely position of neutral on cd and I loved it. It was a great time, skateboarding, baggy jeans, spiked gelled hair. Good memories.
Lol I remember seeing that mp3 floating around. The internet was a wild place for file sharing
I remember hearing Deftones version of Hover on my friends mp3 and thinking “hey that’s my band Trust Company”
Dude. What a nostalgia pull! I had that EXACT same download. 👏👏👏
Same here lol I still have a burned cd somewhere with the song listed as deftones and found out later it was trust company
Meee too😊😊😊
"The Lonely Position of Neutral" is one of my top albums of all time. It's one of the few albums I can listen front to back with no skips. This band was so good, sucks they stopped.
I totally agree!
Agreed, I can listen to that album in its entirety. One of my all time favorites
Their song “Surfacing” from their sophomore album (True Parallels) was awesome 🤘🏽
Same! It’s rare to find a no skip album for me. I’ve even rebought the cd multiple times
You know they're back right! They played at the blue ridge rock festival and delivered!!
Downfall might be TrustCompany's most well-known song, but they've got a swarm of excellent songs. Falling Apart, Stronger, The War Is Over, Silently, Crossing The Line, Erased, Finally, Deeper Into You, The Fear, Running From Me and Someone Like You are amazing as well!
And drop to zero
And Figure 8
And Stumbling.
breaking down
And Alone Again.

This band was AWESOME! “Downfall” was great, but “Running From Me” was my absolute favorite!!
Mine was "Falling Apart"
That song is still up there as one of my top 10. Very underrated band
I prefer figure 8

As the years have gone on Trust Company has become my favorite band. Those two albums are just absolutely perfect.
They released an album in 2011 called 'Dreaming in Black and White' that's significantly better than anything they did before it, I would highly recommend everyone give it a listen
Definitely an overlooked gem!!
I’ll go take a look. I remember I couldn’t quite get into the albums after the debut. But I’ll go run it across my ear drums a couple more times
Dreaming in Black and White is better than The Lonely Position of Neutral, and I absolutely love Neutral!
@@ericmarvel909 I love their first album too but it’s definitely a product of it’s time, I feel like dreaming in black & white has a more timeless sound
Significantly better???
I love being reminded of bands I forgot about. I had the CD. No idea what happened to it. Thank God for Spotify. Any band. Anywhere. Any time. I'm gonna listen to them tonight.
I saw them at the gravity games when I was a teenager. It was my first real concert, and made me see music differently.
Life changing moment!
❤
I've been getting into a Trust Company phase listening to the debut album. I'm so glad that this video came out at the right time.

underrated band - lead singer definitely had a unique voice
Also found out about them because of WWF. Downfall was the theme song for Vengeance 2002.
I always thought Trust Company's lead singer's vocal style was a mix of Chester Bennington (Linkin Park) and Mike Muir (Suicidal Tendencies).
I still listen to their 3 albums regularly, have all 3 of them sitting right here. SO underrated, Stronger, Downfall, Running From me are just masterpieces of skate punk metal mixies.

This song was in Disney Skate Adventure which still to this day blows my mind
yup and they had a bunch of songs in some other games like Rock Band and NFL Blitz Pro
Oh man. I loved this band. Thanks for this upload
DUDE!!! This is the first time I have EVER seen what you look like. Now I can put a face to the narrator. LOVE your videos my friend!!!
Wow, thanks!
Also, the lead singer had a cool whisper-like voice that I really liked! It was kinda unique.
*You can thank the deftones for that.* 😆💯
@@mid-s_to_earlysViBEZ lol that’s true!!

Got to meet them as 41 down doing lights for a local show in Pasadena, TX. I was very impressed with the professionalism and music.

Still have their first two albums on CD. Good band. Solid songs.
My first concert was Korn, Disturbed, and Trust Co.
Thanks for the info on these guys. "Downfall" happens to be the only TRUSTcompany song I know.
Always loved the fact wwe vengeance 2002 had this as their theme. Best one ever
TRUST COMPANY is reuniting at the Blue Ridge Rock festival this September.
I have those first two albums and enjoy them a great deal. They had a nice sound, without all the screaming associated with much of their contemporaries. You don't need long hair or a marketable image to make good rock music, and these guys proved that.
I love them! Still listen to them to this day.
I love Trust Company it's too bad they only released 3 albums I hope they can reunite again
TLPoN is still one of the most underrated albums from this era.
The drummer was rock solid. I don’t think there are any skips on their records for me, and Take It All is one of my favorite songs of all time.
Their back again all original members!
So awesome. I’ve always wondered what happened. Thanks for the video.

am I crazy... is this the first time you have been on video?! haha, another great vid man.
I was wondering the exact same thing
I’ve been more on video recently if you watch my last several weeks of videos. You can thank RUclips’s stupid copyright rules
Still listen to the debut album minimum 1 time in a month,..i love figure 8
So long story short, it kind of went:
Major label before the record: “Trust us, we know best.”
Major label after the record: “You’re not good enough, thanks for playing!”
MISTRUSTcompany, more like. They did my Bama boys dirty. :(
These are my homies, solid dudes. My band played many shows with them back in the day. They defiantly got duped by labels. Stay strong fellas!🤘
Figure 8 is still one of there best songs
Album is still in my daily rotation. Its so good.
I stumbled on them on the 2nd stage at a wbcn river rave WAY back in the day . I was hooked from then on
Anyone ever heard of the motocross video game called MX UNLEASHED? Downfall was the opening song for the intro and as a soundtrack for the game
i remember getting their cd for my bday one year. i was so stoked
The Lonely Position OF Neutral was the greatest Nu Metal record of all time. I said what I said ..
*It’s definitely up there…* 💯
top ten for sure
Started listening to this band when I was 12. Saw Downfall on MTV.
I never stopped listening to them. I am now 34.
They are reuniting and performing at Blue Ridge Rock festival this year!!!
It’s always so sad great rock bands like these disappear
Love this band! Their melodies are so unique imo. They’re back now and I hope they do a tour and album, which I think is what they’re planning:)
They were at blue ridge last month for the reunion
They used to come through this club I worked in between 08-09, always killed it. Nice guys
Kevin became a Christian and gave up the spotlight. Love it. 🙌🏼
Downfall was on constant repeat from 6th grade to sophomore year of high school for me. A slice of killer alternative metal.
*TRUSTCompany* 💯
Would love a vinyl press of “Lonely Position…”
Miss this band
They would benefit from a reunion tour (again) big time
I was 11 when I discover this band. WWE had just released their PPV theme song for survivor series 2008 and it was Trust Company - Falling Apart. I fell in love with the song and continue to listen to their other music and became a huge fan. Still to this day I listen to all three of their albums on Apple Music
Love the videos pal.
Deftones and Helmet awesome influences.
*Don’t forget Pantera and Smashing Pumpkins.* 💯
I still listen to trust company. So glad I saw this video.
