Hope you guys are all doing well. Been busy on several fronts. We tape the two final episodes of the current TMS season this Tuesday in NYC. The guests will include The Winery Dogs, Vinnie Paul, Joe Satriani, Artie Lange and Jim Breuer. Plus on guitar in both shows will be Yngwie Malmsteen! And of course don’t forget this Saturday at 11P ET the latest new episode premiers featuring an hour with Peter Criss and Richard Christy on drums.
Peter talks about the first 6 Kiss studio albums and gives us his Rank of them, does our Put It On The Table segment, and of course talks about the RRHOF. For those expecting some sort of slam fest from him you will be disappointed. Obviously he wishes he would have been allowed to play one song with the original band, but now that nobody is playing he seems real happy to go up and accept the award and just thank the fans.
I’ll be in Largo this Friday hosting the Jake E Lee show. Meet & Greet and signing in the lobby before the show and books for sale. Then to MOR Cruise the next day. Honored to host MOR every year, can’t wait to see you if going!
Thanks to M Shadows of Avenged Sevenfold for rocking a TMS shirt on stage at festivals in Brazil and Australia! Saw the photos and tweeted one. I have a brand new That Eddie Trunk / Stump This T Shirt just released! Check it out in the merch store on this site (please note I can not sell TMS shirts in my store, but check out the other designs).
Live on Q104.3 NYC tomorrow 11P-2A ET. Listen via free stream at www.q1043.com or use the free iheartradio app. Live also Monday 6-10P ET on SiriusXM 39 TRUNKNation. Vinnie Paul and Joe Satriani will be in studio!
There has been SO much debate and discussion on Kiss on this site, and as usual all respectful opinions are welcome. As it stands now the original 4 will go up, each say a few words, and that’s it. Doubtful anything will change as it is now too late likely with production of the show and so many other acts involved. I also heard from everyone that Paul Stanley called TMS Wayne’s World on his Twitter. I myself have called it that jokingly in interviews. That was a super popular movie, and TMS a very popular show, so all good by me. But what Paul doesn’t realize is he is only insulting his fans trying to take a shot at a show THEY watch and most of them love. Maybe more Kiss shirts in our audience on a regular basis than anything else! So if we are Wayne’s World, or whatever else he thinks is a knock at the show, we are certainly proud to be good enough for most Kiss fans, not to mention legendary acts like Sabbath, AC/DC, Rush, Axl Rose, Motley Crue, Judas Priest, Iron Maiden and many more who all appear and appreciate what we do. Paul can continue to be very comfortable going on channels like CNN where maybe 2% of the viewers care about rock and his band and he can get the usual cookie cutter liners from the anchor that just read the one sheet. Or maybe go on Howard Stern again, who just called Kiss the most irrelevant band ever on his radio show? We have plenty of artists that get and appreciate what we do, have a sense of humor, enjoy the debate, and acknowledge as fans we have opinions. Unfortunate that in Kiss land many times the decades of positives are never acknowledged and the few things you don’t like are blown up. But it’s all good by me. I thank all the amazing artists we have and will have on and most of all the fans around the world that support TMS and have made it VH1’s longest running show. Guess we are doing something right…Party on!

All you people guessing about Paul and Ed situation. It very simple. Paul is insecure and insecure people don’t like people like Ed who don’t bow down and kiss their asses and not be star struck by them. Paul thinking is you should be honored that I allow you in my presence and to ask me questions. And Eddie doesn’t kiss peoples asses
Just heard another story of Paul being super sensitive about something on my TV show that actually had nothing to do with me. If people only knew the half of it and how much I DON’T say… Thanks
Paul insecure? No way, not possible….here’s a very secure response from Paul to someone who dared to challenged him and didn’t want to kiss ass.
Someone’s tweet: Fans and money synonomous to you and Gene.
Paul: YOU’RE NOT ONLY A MORON BUT A LONELY ONE. BYE LOSER!
Let’s face it, Paul will never allow himself to be interviewed by Eddie. He knows he would have to answer some tuff, fair and honest questions about the Band. Looking forward to TMS with Peter tomorrow.
Hey eddie my daughter and myself had the pleasure of meeting you at the buckcherry show at the starland ballroom a few weeks back you were kind enough to pose for pics etc when I flashed my kiss shirt fan to you,you just shook your head in disgust which was confusing to me knowing what a big kiss fan you are,its only after I found out about paul and genes decision not to perform with ace and peter did I realize why you acted the way you did,anyway I notice upon reading letters sent to you by fans that some are derogatory towards you and the show,but you have the class to let people air their opinions even if don’t agree with your own,i bring this up because I sent a couple letters to kissonline.com to air my opinions abouth the hall of fame and the disrespect of peter and ace,i thought they would publish the letters but instead I received an return email stating that kissonline was a fan site and that it was not for fans who want to degrade the band,so I sent them another letter (that again they didn’t publish)saying how dare they implied that I wasn’t a fan I am 52 yrs old and have been there from the beginning I have the all the vinyl casettes cds box sets the busts every ticket stub from the 152 shows I have been to jhave a kiss tattoo,so I said to them that the fans who helped make them millionaires should have the right to be heard but again another return email saying my letter was unpublishable maybe gene and paul are starting to show signs of dementia cause my mother in law has that disease and she is starting to forget the past,just like gene and paul,anyway keep up the good work on tms and your radio program and thanks for a kickass website to keep up music fans updated
Thanks Richard for your support!
Eddie,
I love TMS! Love the fact that you have always been supportive of KISS over the years. I am a old school KISS fan like you. I don’t get Paul’s snobbish remarks about you or TMS. KISS fans are behind you, Ed. Their audiences in the US seem to be dwindling. Another co-headling tour?
Cannot wait for Pete to be on the show this Saturday! Did you guys talk about him recording new music? I believe that was a topic of discussion last time he was on the show a few years ago.
Keep up the great work, Eddie! YOU ROCK! Love Don and Jim too. “Eddie, I don’t know how this one got in here…” LOL
BTW, Waynes World? LOL Awesome! You should get Mike Myers on TMS or your radio show and ask him his opinion of the whole “Waynes World” comparison.
As an aside – anyone else want to see a Wayne’s World III? I for one wonder what Wayne’s up to now in later life, if Garth managed to do a David Coverdale and keep the hair, and if Cassandra can still wail…
