That Metal Show season 13 is wrapped! We filmed two shows yesterday in NYC. The first will premiere this Saturday night and feature all three members of The Winery Dogs, Vinnie Paul, and Michael from Volbeat from Denmark via Skype. The season finale that premieres a week from Saturday will feature Joe Satriami and then some laughs with Artie Lange and Jim Breuer. This was a fun show and a hell of a way to wrap our 13th season and longest with 12 total new shows. Yngwie SHREDS on both shows as our guest player. What an honor to have him play for us, still a total beast as you will see. Yngwie is a huge TMS fan and we were grateful he flew up from FL to blow away the crowd. It was great doing our latest season back home in the NYC area. Loved doing a show a week format (only did two this week because I am away next week) and we had a huge variety of guests from Nugent, to Mick Mars, to Peter Criss, to Lamb Of God, to Mick Jones. SO many great artists in a wide variety of rock and metal, many appearing for the first time on TMS. No small feat when you consider we have now done over 110 shows! Want to thank all the guests and all the fans for the support and hope you enjoy these last two weeks of new episodes. Where and when we do more new ones 100% up to VH1 Classic. Hearing likely in the Fall. More news when I know. But enjoy these final two new ones coming of Season 13!
Never thought I’d see the day Kiss would be on the cover of RS. Cool classic photo too! Haven’t read the story yet but have heard all about the quotes from various members. I have said my part about how I feel countless times. No need to keep rehashing here. Enjoying seeing all of your comments posted on this site.The complete story is now online and linked in the news section here on this site. ALL are welcome as long as it is respectfully done. In a matter of a couple weeks this event will be over and likely quickly forgotten. Kiss will go on with what they are doing, Ace and Peter will do what they do. Us as fans will decide what we do and don’t want to support and what we do and don’t like. This has been a crazy process for sure, and it sucks we won’t get one last original performance for a song or two, but at least as fans we will know that one of the HOF’s MANY injustices will be corrected and Kiss will be in the Hall after 15 years of snubs!
Speaking of the HOF, I was interviewed by the NY Post yesterday about it. Apparently there are about 4000 tickets still available for sale. Apparently there are larger issues to deal with than just no Kiss performance. Remember this event is NOT just about Kiss. Several bands are being honored. I suspect since Kiss isn’t playing they may just do their induction early on, but not sure yet on the schedule. I do plan on being there as a guest of Ace and Peter so will let you know more when I do.
Headed to Tampa FL tomorrow. Will be in Largo Friday night hosting the Jake E Lee show, then hosting the MOR Cruise Saturday thru Wednesday next week. Look forward to seeing everyone and please keep an eye on my twitter and the appearances page on this sites home page for info and updates. More dates and cities to come in what will be a busy Spring / Summer on the road!

Let’s fast forward and pray.
Gene Simmons made comments about retirement in a couple years.
Ace made comments about “getting his identity back” from Kiss in a couple years.
Paul said Kiss members are like 007 or Batman where it doesn’t matter who wears the suit over the years cause the characters live on.
I’d like to see this fiction play out. Would all of this, if true, present a potential Kiss trainwreck?
Hey Eddie thanks for another great season. The thing I like about the show is even though you may have some guests that I dont listen to you always make it an interesting show anyway. Anyway I have a ? for you. I heard that Ace and Peter sold the rights to their costumes is this true? If so when did they do this and do you know how much they got? Personally if they did I dont think they have the right to wear those costumes either. Thats like selling off a family heirloom in my opinion. Kind of reminds me of Jake. He`s one of my all-time favorite guitarists but I had to roll my eyes a bit when he complained on the show how he wants writing credits for bark at the moon. Dude you sold those rights away ! You cant sell the rights to something and expect to get them back. Buisness is buisness as we all know. Sure we all feel sorry for you guys for making bad or desperate buisness decisions but cmon.
Speaking of being called out for BS…
“Yes, that’s quite hypocritical. For all these years, the HOF has been a “joke” and a “sham”. Then why are you going, Trunk? Way to take a stand for what you believe in.”
“Trunk is a disingenuous hack who should be called out on his BS. Let’s be clear, he’s a fan of only certain line-ups of Kiss, and the current line up isnt one of them.”
So, Eddie is a hack, as you say, yet while he’s sharing company with music icons, as the personal guest of Peter Criss, where will you be?
Please, God, make it stop!
I tell you life is just way to short to be so vindictive and petty as are Jean and Paul. Yes, it will soon be over. Too bad for their decision. That night could have been magical and something to be remembered long into the future.. Really too bad.
