12/23: MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL, LATEST UPDATE ON ALL KINDS OF STUFF!
Hope everyone is doing good and ready for Christmas! Everything full steam ahead here at the Trunk house. We host family for Christmas Eve, then to my Mom’s Christmas day. Great time of year even though it was 65 degrees last couple days here in NJ. But temps dropping now so feeling “normal” again! Hope you all have a happy, healthy safe Christmas for those that celebrate with your loved ones this week. A few quick things:
*Don’t forget the TMS Christmas party with me, Don & Jim that was postponed due to snow will happen this Saturday 12/28 at Dingbatz in Clifton NJ! Free tickets to Schenker at Starland while supplies last.
*I am coming to Houston! Just announced date 2/8 at Concert Pub NORTH. I’ll be doing a one man show telling stories, taking questions, live trivia with prizes and a book signing at the end. Plus live music. More dates TBA.
*Still tons of reaction and discussion on Kiss and the HOF on my comments section. One thing seems many are confused by. You can play with a band but that does not mean you were inducted. Who is actually inducted vs who joins and plays with the band are two different things. TONS of people jam at the HOF that are not included in actual induction.
*My KISSmas special that aired last weekend on Q104.3 with Ace Frehley airs on all my affiliates this weekend at the dates and times listed. This is the case with EVERY FM show I do on Q104.3. It will also be available on this site for members On Demand. Station list and streams here: https://eddietrunk.com/live-and-on-the-air/eddie-trunk-rocks/
*This Friday on Q104.3 NYC is my final special year end show spotlighting all music from 2013. SiriusXM show returns live 1/6/14.
*Thanks to all who ordered signed personalized copies of my books. Don’t forget the new book is now available as well straight from me signed. Hit book tab on the site for order info. Both books available now anywhere books are sold physical and digital. Also the sale in my merch store ends 1/1, so be sure to grab something now before the discount expires!
*TMS is back with ALL NEW shows starting 1/18 on VH1C from NYC. Guests TBA soon. Many cool and first time guests coming. Ticket info for the audience was released by VH1 and is online.
*Got a text from Rob Halford today saying to wish all my audience Happy Holidays and new Priest coming in 2014. Thanks Rob! Message delivered.
*MANY news shows added to my Presents list. Take a look and listen to my shows to win to get in as well.
Merry Christmas to all and thanks for your support as always! More soon. Off to play with my kids and the trains under the tree!
Have a Merry “Metal” Xmas, Eddie!! I really can’t wait to watch the new season of “That Metal Show.” 🙂
You’re absolutely right Eddie. It’s usually the original and or most popular line-up that gets inducted first. For instance when Sabbath was inducted, I’m pretty sure Ronnie James Dio and Vinny Appice were not inducted! Despite the fact Purple was passed over yet again I’m happy KISS finally got it. Long time coming for both bands. It gives me some optimism for the future. A day when Deep Purple, Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Motorhead, Motley Crue, Uriah Heep, and the late great Ronnie James Dio finally get their recognition from those guys. If they don’t, I won’t sweat it. We (metal heads) are doing just fine without them.
And by the way, just got Vol. 2 of ‘Eddie Trunk’s Essential Hard Rock and Heavy Metal.’ Stay heavy!
How about getting Eddie Van Halen, or DLR for a guest appearance on That Metal Show !
Love to! You have a way to make it happen? We only ask EVERY season! As an FYI they turned down Letterman, Leno and Rolling Stone last album. Sadly doubt they are running to TMS.
Seems that you are also confused. The Hall usually inducts the Original most famous version of a band. Then the band will ask the RARHOF to include other members.
Right! And they can be included at times but does NOT mean they were inducted. Heart played with original and then current band. Only original went in!
Now that your coming to Houston, (ON my birthday, just so you know!) Let us know what kind of beer you want. Looking forward to seeing you there!
