11/17: JOE LYNN TURNER, CARMINE APPICE, NUNO TONIGHT, YEAR END POLL
Hope everyone had a great weekend. Back live tonight 6-10P ET/3-7 Pacific on SiriusXM channel 39 TRUNKNation (Hair Nation) with music and talk that rocks. Joining me in studio in the 9P hour will be Carmine Appice and Joe Lynn Turner to talk about their new band Rated X. Calling in live at 8P will be Extreme guitarist Nuno Bettencourt. Nuno is one of my favorite players and Extreme announced today a 12 date US tour playing Pornograffiti. We will discuss that and more.
Please check out the poll added to this sites home page. If you have listened to my FM show for a long time you know I end the year with theme shows. This year YOU pick 3 bands among the biggest on my show every week to have an entire 3 hour program dedicated to their music! I’ll keep the poll up until the end of Nov then announce the 3 bands 12/1 and the dates their shows will air. So let your voice and favorite band be heard and cast your vote now!
Just added an appearance in New Bedford MA 12/20 hosting the charity event Rock 4 Xmas. More details soon.
If in NJ area please come to Dingbatz in Clifton Thanksgiving Eve for a charity event for my friend guitarist Karl Cochran. Joe Lynn Turner, Pat Travers, Steve Brown of Trixter (and recently Def Leppard) and many more will be rocking to help Karl. Hope to see you there.
Since I get asked daily (and thanks for caring!) I will end every blog with this: New TMS Feb 2015.

I haven’t heard Rated X yet, but I am sure it will be good. I really wish Bruce Kulick would have been able to do the project. GFR doesn’t tour that much, I don’t think. Would have loved to hear him play heavy metal music again! He needs it. I am sure he enjoys playing GFR, but there is no new music. I imagine for a guitarist of Bruce’s stature that must get boring. He has often said he misses being in KISS. I think a project like Rated X would have been very satisfying for him. Plus it would have been awesome to hear him interpret Blackmore’s riffs and solos, especially since Bruce grew up on Page and Zeppelin. Another aspect of heavy rock music than what he is used to playing.
Alas.
Eddie keep up the great work that you do. I’ve been a fan of yours for a long time. You are truly amazing at what you do. I like to say I like all the choices you have selected and any one of them can fill your show just fine. I saw Rush on there Clock Work Angels tour and they are still Amaaazzzing!!!!!!! New stuff old stuff they are as tight as ever. Eddie your the best. Thanks for all that you have done for the World of Heavy Metal!!!!!!!
