2/10: HOUSTON APPEARANCE, TED NUGENT TMS, ALTER BRIDGE, MORE.
Just back from my first visit to Houston this past Saturday night and really my first ever ticketed live speaking engagement. It went down at Concert Pub North and I had no idea what to expect going in. So needless to say I was BLOWN AWAY that nearly 500 people came out to hang with me, hear me tell some stories and do some Q&A. It was a GREAT audience and a true honor for sure. Still amazed to be honest and grateful for the support. After I did about 90 minutes on stage I sat and signed and took photos with everyone in the place for at least another 2 hours. Can not thank you all enough for the incredible support for what I do. Also thanks to John and JD at Concert Pub and the local bands who also played that night, including a killer UFO tribute called Lights Out. It was a great night and I hope to book more Eddie Trunk Live dates soon! Keep an eye on the home page. This Saturday I am at Starland in NJ with my TMS partners Don & Jim for a night of comedy and more. The show is almost sold out so get your tix now if you want to come out. Please note. NO live club gigs by any of us are filmed or used for TMS. They are either speaking dates or comedy shows only. TMS is only done on the set in NYC with VH1C. Thanks.
Speaking of TMS, HUGE response to the Ted Nugent show this week! I’d say 80% very positive and people loved we kept it all about music. There are some of course that are anti Ted and I respect your positions but don’t agree. From a TV/interview perspective I love people that let it fly. We are in a day and age that everyone is SO PC, so afraid to say anything the least bit different than the norm. Everyone is just ready to pounce at anything anyone says that is different from their view. So it is refreshing as heck to have a guy like Ted who just says what he thinks. Do I agree with everything he has done and said? No. But I respect his right to say it. I have said this many times; I watch Bill OReilly and Bill Maher, and love both equally. I sure don’t agree with all they both say, but I love they have the balls to say it, especially in this hyper sensitive world of social media we are in today. I also grew up loving Howard Stern, having strong opinions sure as hell didn’t hurt him. But TMS is a music show, and Ted talked and played all music, and most loved it! It also got many talking about TMS and debating his appearance and that sure doesn’t suck either. I thought it was a great show about music, which as I say in my second book in the chapter on Ted, he is often sadly overlooked for at times. This episode repeats all week on VH1C.
Back live on SiriusXM 39 TRUNKNation tonight 6-10P ET. Myles Kennedy & Mark Tremonti of Alter Bridge in studio. They will also be this weeks TMS guests that we tape tomorrow night in NYC.
Both of my books available signed from me on this site as well as all new Merch including hats and shirts. Please see the respective tabs for info. Books under Media tab for order info. Thanks.
I was nervous about the Nuge bring on the show, but I thought he killed it! What a fun show! I dragged out all my Nugent jams and I am cranking them at work! Thanks TMS!!
BTW…finished Volume 2 this weekend! Great job!
Thanks!
I heard Matt Nathanson will be on this week’s episode of “That Metal Show.” Not to sound like a b*tch, but he’s not a “metal” musician.
I know he isn’t, but he is a fan of the show and VH1 wanted to have him on. He wore a TMS shirt on Leno.
I wish Ted only talked about music, but he kept going on and on about his joy in killing animals.
Too bad he doesn’t have the same respect for other opinions that you seem to think we should have for his.
Ted loves hunting and respects the animals he hunts in the same way people have for thousands of years. It is a joy. Man can both love the living animal and take that joy in the hunt. The nature we all love is not ever so kind.
Ahhhh yes. He respects those animals right before he puts a bullet through their heart. Beth, you’re about as smart as my shoe.
It was great to have you at The Concert Pub North this wekend !!! I don’t think i have ever had so many people thank me for a show as we had at the end of the night that you were here, you are a class act and you are always welcome down in Houston with us !!! Safe and happy travels, jd.
THANK YOU for having me!
Dear Eddie, you were brilliant and we all agreed you could have kept on talking for hours more! You were so sweet and kind to all of your fans, just as I pictured you would be. The Zak story was a hoot, and my husband just says he’ll never look at Don and Jim the same after their audition tape story!!!!
