    Thx for the heads up. I’ll be sure to miss that one.

    He still throws a great party live, but his politics are about as fun as herpes. He was so much cooler in the ’70’s.


  • John on

    I love Ted! He was the reason I got into hard rock back in the 70’s and grew into loving metal and thrash in the 80’s. Can’t wait to see “Sweaty Teddy” on TMS.


  • Marcus on

    Could you not book a better guest?


    • @ on

      Trunk will book any guest that agrees to be on the show.


    • Eddie on

      VH1 has final say. I have input but THEY approve all guests! No matter how many times and ways I explain it people just don’t get how the process works..

    Hi Eddie. Great job, every season seems to get better. So glad you got rid of that table and kept the Metal Modem bit. \M/ Looking forward to seeing Charlie & Richard on the drums. Would love to see more Testament members like Chuck Billy and Gene Hoglan in if, schedule should provide.

    Thanks for your efforts and cheers to you, Jim & Don. Thanks for carrying the Metal torch for those who breath & bleed Metal. Metal Up Your Ass!
