Hope you guys all enjoyed the all new That Metal Show last night. It’s been great to be able to feature such a wide variety of rock, hard rock and metal in the shows evolution. Guys like Mick Jones and Leslie West have so much history it’s hard to even scratch the surface on TV with the time we have. Was cool seeing Marty Friedman geek out over Mick Jones “Hot Blooded” solo! Huge thanks to Leslie West for the amazing guitar. Had no idea that was coming! One day I MUST learn to play! Was also cool to have Lita jam. She is a big part of our shows history as the first ever guest, and now the first ever woman to perform for us. I did talk with Leslie about the loss of his leg and I did talk with Mick about Lou Gramm and the recent performance at the songwriters HOF but it was cut for time. Some will likely end up as online extras. I’ll post links when I can or visit www.thatmetalshow.vh1.com for more. Show replays all week. Next taping is this Tuesday in NYC with Mick Mars! So cool to have the unsung hero of Motley on our show for the hour. Truly underrated player too! Mick will also be in studio with me tomorrow for a LIVE TRUNKNation 6-10P ET on SiriusXM channel 39. Don’t miss it! More soon.
Quick update on the Kiss R&R HOF drama. My sources telling me that as of now, unless Gene and Paul change their mind and decide to play with the original band, there will be no performance of any kind for the bands induction. Common thought was that perhaps an all star band would be assembled to tribute Kiss since there is no performance from them now with any version of the band. But there will be no tribute either. Likely just a video package on the screens. So where we stand now is no performance at all of any kind related to Kiss, or the original band does a song or two in or out of makeup. And we all no as of now that ain’t happening. Still time for things to change but very reliable sources telling me that’s the HOF position as of now. Also each of the four original members get 3 minutes each for their speeches during the induction and only those inducted are at the podium for those speeches.

Hey Eddie,
It seems to me that you are a Kiss hater. Always sucking up with Ace, and talking bad About Gene and Paul. If Acw and Peter would be the chiefs, Kiss wouldnt exist anymore since 1981 ! Thanx to Paul and Gene the band still exists ! Peter is a worthless artist, his solorecords are horribele. And Ace ? One solo album on 25 years. I played it two times, now it is dusting away. Last year i saw a great kiss show in Europese, for 30.000 people, two years ago a saw a horribele ace concert in Holland for 300 people ,after one hout hè stopped. I hot a Message for you Eddie: stop insulting gene , Paul , Eric and Tom, and all the real kiss fans. Get a LIFE!
Insulting? This is a perfect post from someone who has NO CLUE of what I really say and makes statements based on nothing. Sad you can’t handle objective discussion. I am the hater that has played Kiss for 30 years on the radio, does a yearly special, and plays ALL lineups. Continue your clueless baseless rant and enjoy the kool aid. Amazing..
wow….. this guy has not heard a thing that mr trunk has said over the years or is just mentally challenged.talks about hate …… his comment is full of hate. thank you ace and peter for the music my friends. ps …thanks eddie for keeping UFO alive in the rock world.now thats a band that should be in the hall of fame.
KISS will be booed off the stage at the RRHOF!!! MARK MY WORD FOLKS!!!!! YOU HEARD IT HERE FIRST!!!

Eddie,
I still say that you use your contacts to organize a separate show where Ace and Peter can play together with whoever else wants to pay tribute to the band and any former members that can be persuaded to turn up. Set the date for the day after, or at least within a week of the Hall Of Fame Induction. Film it and stream it via YouTube or even make a DVD of it and sell it with some of the money going to a worthy charity. It won’t be a full scale KISS reunion, but it’d be the 2 most talented members of the band with an all star line up, that would beat any performance involving Gene or Paul at this stage.
At some point maybe, but they are both doing their own things and I go to Mexico the day after the induction for an appearance
Cool. I’m really looking forward to Ace and Peter’s new solo records. I think Anomaly was some of Ace’s best work ever so I’m very excited to hear how he follows it up. Maybe the big concert could happen once both albums are out which would probably make more sense for both of them as it would also give them a chance to promote their new music.
Eddie, What do you think of Paul’s comments last week when he said he wasn’t ever friends nor liked Ace or Peter ? I think it’s bull sh*t !
