3/10: MICK MARS, DEE SNIDER, HHFEST, KISS, GEORGE LYNCH, MORE
Hope everyone had a great weekend. Thanks for all the awesome response to the Mick Mars TMS episode. Great to have guys you don’t hear from often on. Also great response to my in depth radio interview making the rounds. Appreciate that. Was fun to spend a couple days with Mick and get to know him better after all these years. Episode 9 of our current 12 episode season tapes tomorrow with Dee Snider as our guest and Chris Caffery playing guitar. Some other surprises possible as well. More from the set via Twitter tomorrow as we start to roll. As usual see it this Saturday premiere on VH1C. This weeks Mick Mars show replays all week, just check your grids for days and times.
MANY reports about this weekends Hell & Heaven Festival’s status in Mexico City. Latest I am hearing is it is on but at a new location outside Mexico City. Please understand I am a VERY small part of this event and I am only getting my info from the agent that booked me on it. If you are in Mexico you likely know more than me. Assuming it does happen I will be there as planned. I’ll keep you posted on what I hear but much I am learning from you and some of the bands playing I have friends in. Hope it all works out.
Many reports and rumors out there about Kiss and the R&R HOF. All I can tell you is at this time there are NO plans for any version of Kiss to play at it at all and no tribute act either. All four members will make a speech and there would likely be a video montage and that’s about it. Of course anything can change but that is where things are at now I am being told and it does not look likely to be different come 4/10.
LIVE tonight 6-10P ET on SiriusXM 39 TRUNKNation. George Lynch among the guests. Music and talk that rocks live tonight! Join me and get involved.
Hey Eddie, how is Mick’s health. He seems very feeble to me. He can’t weigh 100 lbs.
Hi Eddie
Enjoyed the George Lynch interview (saw Lynch Mob last month great show !). One thing George mentioned and something you have talked about occasionally is the “Business of Rock and Roll”
I do not think it is thought about much with the general music crowd. But if you get down to brass tacks as they say the Queensryche issue is about business, Dave Lombardo and Slayer is about business. Your favorite band not coming to your town is about business (no hall big enough or small enough to do the show). Maybe you could bring in a guest that is a buyer, promoter or the like to discuss the business aspect of music, i think it would make for an interesting segment. Love Trunk Nation and I DVR That Metal Show every week. Keep up the great work Eddie.
Gene and Paul are too busy with their football team…LA kiss…it has and always about them..regardless…
Eddie, I enjoyed your show last night on Trunk Nation. Having a very long commute to and from work every day, your show is a blessing….as is Hair Nation, etc. I love the great questions and the discussions….however, I don’t know how you can stand it when people go off the rails by asking “whatever happened to that band?” (Google people) or “what version of Van Halen do you like?” My new favorite statement that makes me want to pull over because I am laughing my ass off is “I don’t do….I am not very good with computers.” Great show Eddie.
Any word on who is inducting them?
