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.

Eddie, be honest: are you inducting KISS? XD
I was thinking…did the Hall ask You to induct KISS ????
Uh, no… You really think G&P would be cool with that? Haha
Maybe that’s part of G&P’s reluctance!!…lol
Hi Ed, Really enjoyed TMS last week, great lineup, hope you do more classic rock shows.I don’t know if anybody mentioned him yet but my two cent guess for who might be inducting Kiss, and I still think it should be you , is Garth Brooks. I know he’s a huge Kiss fan and he would do a great job. In closing I sure hope Gene and Paul will put their personal feelings aside and play with Ace and Peter one last time. It’s time for them to do the right thing for “the bosses” play the damn show and leave no doubt that they damn well belong there.
Hey – thanks for the nostalgic bit last night for us Angel fans out there! Yes, I am one of the 70’s kids who was an Angel disciple. I was also part of the KISS generation, have seen KISS, Alice Cooper, and countless other metal acts over the years, and no one’s concert opening topped Angel’s. Think I’ll pick up a copy of the new book now, so I can check out the chapter you wrote about them. Thanks.
Hi Eddie
The KISS H.O.F Induction. Nobody is getting it right (As you said in the above post) as to who will induct them. There is one name that I haven’t heard, so I’m going to put it to you like this: “Is it a very well known Guitar player from the Netherlands?”
There is a little bit of history between the two parties, and I’m sure he would “Jump” at the chance to induct them.
Am I close?
