Huge thanks to Mick Mars for spending 2 straight hours on the radio with me last night talking Motley and so much more. I have never heard some of the stuff Mick and I discussed and it was cool to get so in depth with a highly underrated player and someone who is fairly private. WAY too many stories to recap here. Hope you can find the audio online (email or tweet me a link if you do). Or I will try and post when i get some time. Thanks for all the amazing response. That’s what I love most about radio. Digging in and getting the stories and history with these great artists, especially the ones not heard from often. After we wrapped on the air I continued the conversation with Mick back at his hotel lounge for a couple more hours. Great guy, amazing stories as you would imagine.
Today we tape TMS with Mick for the full hour. Can’t get as in depth as two commercial free hours on radio but it will still be great. Tom Keifer plays guitar in the show today. See it premiere this Saturday might 11P ET on VH1 Classic. Photos and news from the set on twitter @EddieTrunk
Loving all the speculation about who will induct Kiss in the HOF. Not one person has guessed right so far in my comments section. I think it will take fans by surprise when they hear and I’ll announce as soon as it’s cool to. I can also tell you there are still hopes behind the scenes that somehow Kiss will decide to perform with just the original band for at least a song. But no idea if all parties will agree on what are a variety of issues. However this is one instance it is not about money at all. As of now still no performance of any kind at all. But the HOF and many others hoping for a change of heart. It can’t really be last minute since rehearsal will be needed so would need to be sorted fairly quickly. We shall see. Real news when I get it and can share it.
Be sure to keep an eye on all the appearances I am booking for a variety of shows and events on the home page of my site. More always being added. Was just confirmed to once again host Rocklahoma, an honor I have had every year since it started in ’07. See you all soon! More to come.

OMG! Eddie, I was hanging on every word Mick Mars was saying! It was a fantastic interview with some really revealing info straight from his mouth. No Bullshit Mick Mars…fucking awesome stuff!
I’m hoping that the person who inducts Kiss into the HOF will be Lenny Kravitz – an artist in his own right who’s been around for 25 years, movie star, and Kiss fan. Anyone remember when he won the AMA that Paul & Gene presented to him (in full makeup) and Lenny in return thanked Kiss for making “great rock and roll music”. Plus, during a performance in NYC a few years ago, Lenny sang a portion of “I Was Made For Loving You” and went on to praise Kiss… then said “SOMEONE PLEASE LET THEM IN THE R&RHOF!!!” Anyway…. hoping it’s Lenny.
Eddie,
I was on the other TRUNK REPORT thread yesterday with you discussing who will induct KISS. My first thoughts were Joe Perry, Jimmy Page, Nikki Sixx, Sebastian Bach or Bret Michaels. Perry and Page seem to be fans of the band and would add some nice prestige to the induction, as they are already Hall of Famers, and the other three are all big fans, so that would work, too. But you said it’s neither of those five, so I’m guessing again:
1) Alice Cooper, who has always said he loves the band.
2) Dave Grohl, who is also a fan and will probably be there anyway for Nirvana’s induction. That would be cool, because he’s a great speaker, but I personally think Dave has been doing a lot of that kind of stuff lately at other events, including the recent Beatles thing on CBS, so while I mean him know disrepect at all, I kind of hope it’s not him. Would be nice to see someone a little less expected.
I know you can’t reveal anything. Just having fun with the discussion. 🙂

I don’t know where the guesses are. Corbin Bernsen?
Hey Eddie,
If I had to guess on who will induct KISS, I would pick Sebastion Bach.
