3/2: TMS RECAP, MICK MARS, NEW KISS HOF INFO.
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.
I seen Kiss for the first time in September of 2009 at Detroit’s Cobo Arena it was far and away the best concert ive ever seen.I personally like the current version of Kiss
I personally think u have to acknowledge all the members of kiss either everyone goes in the hall of fame or none of them should but just one man’s opinion. Enjoyed eddie’s show tonight on Sirius/Xm like to listen on occasion while trucking.Trump Nation is a good show brings back rock and roll memories when I was a kid in the 80’s
Im glad remembers Kiss is about standing up for what you believe in, HOF ignoring 2/3’s of the bands history. What a joke! Like they tried to forces reunion on kiss, something’s never change
I think I may have guessed it: Alice
I hate that the HOF made the determination that only the original 4 could get in. All of the Eagles from all years got in. Ron Wood was included with the Stones even though he didn’t join until 1976. Hell Robert Trujillo was inducted with Metallica and he had been in the band for about 5 friggin minutes at the time of the band’s induction. Bottom Line, Eric Carr was in the band longer than Peter, and he should be included. I’m fine with Marc, Bruce, Vinnie, Tommy and Eric not making it based on the longevity and the fact that they weren’t on the major 70’s releases, but Eric should have been inducted, bottom line!!!
