Phenomenal first day of taping all new That Metal Show last night in NYC. New set, studio, and being back in NYC was all great. Really loved doing one show as oppose to our old schedule doing two a day and all of them in one week. Shooting one a week now gets fresher stuff on the air and more often. 12 all new shows kick off this Saturday with what we shot yesterday featuring Zakk Wylde (we celebrated his birthday on set in grand style!), M Shadows (great to finally get a member of A7X who are red hot these days with back to back #1 albums) and Jason Hook (he shredded and gave away a guitar). Think you guys will love the new shows. Many of the usual features back in as well as some new ones. We will rotate stuff out from week to week. Don’t miss the premiere this Saturday 11/10C ONLY on VH1 Classic. Great to be back doing TMS!
Next show we tape will be next Tuesday and feature Vernon and Corey from Living Colour, Morgan from Sevendust, and Joel Hoekstra (Night Ranger, TSO, Rock Of Ages) playing guitar. All first time guests! Specific guest shows will be announced week to week and are subject to change. Many, but not all, TMS S13 guests have been mentioned in the press release on the site. More to come.
Zakk Wylde will be live in studio with me this Friday on my Q104.3 show 11P-2A ET. Listen outside the NYC area using the stream at www.q1043.com or free Iheartradio app.
This Saturday me, Don & Jim will be doing a live show at Mexicali in Teaneck NJ. We start at 8P sharp. I host and tell stories, Don & Jim do stand up. I will have books and merch for sale on site as well. Once we finish live bands will perform. PLEASE NOTE NO LIVE APPEARANCES ARE THAT METAL SHOW TAPINGS. THEY ARE LIVE STORYTELLER/STAND UP COMEDY SHOWS AND NOT FOR TV. Hope to see you this Saturday night in Teaneck, 2/8 in Houston at Concert Pub N (solo show for me), 2/15 Starland Ballroom Sayreville NJ (me, Don & Jim, no music at all). As always info on the home page.
1/30 & 31 hosting Winger at Northern Lights in Milwaukee. Books and merch available at this show. Band starts at 8P sharp, meet me in the lobby each night starting at 7.
Tons going on, follow on Twitter @EddieTrunk Thanks!

Looking forward to how fresh the episodes feel now that they’re being aired so soon after taping. Doing it this way is a great idea!
Have you ever thought about having Adam Bomb (heavy metal guitarist) on “That Metal Show”?
I know Adam, VH1 books the show, they want the biggest names possible at all times regardless of genre of rock
Great to have new TMS shows back! Now I will have something to do again on Saturday nights! 🙂
Thanks for the post, very cool to read these. So looking forward to the new season, one of my fave shows. Can’t wait to hear from Corey and Vernon, my old band had the pleasure of opening for them a few years back. Peace!
Hey Eddie, with A7F having 2 back to back #1 albums, are you still gonna try to push your narrative that the only bands that are successful today “are your hero’s from
30 years ago”? And are you still gonna say what happens to hard rock and heavy metal when bands like Iron Maiden retire? You do realize that Iron Maiden, Dio, Black Sabbath and Motley Crüe could fill a phone booth in the 1990’s?
Not exactly sure what your point or issue is Frank? Not sure what you are hearing, think I said, or referring to? When did I ever say those bands were popular in the 90’s? Strange conclusions people reach. Impossible to make everyone happy. Have new bands people go crazy they want classic bands. have classic bands people want new… wow
Frank, man you need to take breather. Go outside a get some fresh air. With all the Trunk has done to keep hard rock and heavy metal in the conversation, you lay in with this?
Don’t be a douchebag…
