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.

Eddie,
Why can’t Ace and Peter do a couple of songs together like they did at the Hard Rock Cafe with an all star band and then Kiss play a couple of songs with the current lineup? Will the RRHOF not allow this? This way at least the fans will get to see them all perform even if its not together.
Sad that KISS can’t reunite for one night for the FANS! And no tribute either??? Why bother??? This is all about EGO’s. It is certainly not about the FANS. Don’t even bother with a speech! KISS has become nothing but a brand and a money machine for those who continue to buy the brand.
Eddie I hate how people come at you with bullcrap.Dude I just want you to know,and ill probally be crushed on here saying im kissin your ass.With out that Metal show we the fans would not have anyoutlet on tv to keep up with many artist we havent heard from in a long time.Kiss made a bad call,I know its about selling kiss with no orginal members down the road which I think its the worst idea.Ill go see a tribute band here in a little bar before ill ever go see kiss without gene or Paul.Anyway Thanks for your real opinions even tho it might come with repercussions by fans.
Leslie West kicks ass. Just ask legends such as Allman Brothers, Peter Frampton and Joe Walsh.
This is just disgusting. The hall should revoke the award! Way to go Gene and Paul! I’m sure the fans will not forget this.
The original four should accept and play. In costume, in makeup, out of costume, out of makeup, in tuxedos, in street clothes, naked, live from the bathroom! Something. Anything. Get it together people!
