Amazing response again to last nights new That Metal Show with Ace Frehley, Mark Farner and Nita Strauss. Ace was hysterical as always and was cool seeing him Rank his Kiss albums. So many people loved Mark Farner as well. Really cool to see how the TMS audience has really embraced all the variety in this season. From new, to classic, to rock, hard rock and metal, we have featured it all and had more first time guests than ever and it’s been great. Two more shows to tape in our current season the next two Tuesday’s. This week it’s first time guests Mark Slaughter and from Black Veil Brides Andy Biersack, and from Faster Pussycat Taime Downe. On guitar for the first time Mike Orlando from Adrenaline Mob. That airs this Saturday. Then our season finale will feature Joe Elliott (unaired interview from when he joined us for our debut with Geddy Lee), Frankie Banali from Quiet Riot and Bobby Blitz from Overkill. Joining us on bass the return of the master Billy Sheehan! Also a good chance former Judas Priest guitarist KK Downing will Skype in on one of these final two shows! Two more weeks of new shows in what’s been a killer season. Thanks for watching. Replays all week on VH1C and see it online at www.thatmetalshow.vh1.com
Back live on SiriusXM tomorrow 6-10P ET on channel 39 TRUNKNation. In studio guests will include Faster Pussycat and Mark Slaughter.
I’ll be hosting M3 once again this coming weekend in MD. Tickets are still available. Congrats to all my winners here online in ET’s Box Office. I will be selling and signing books for an hour or so on Saturday. Follow my Twitter or listen for me to announce from the stage when I will be out on the grounds at the Chuck Levins Washington Music Center booth that will host me once again. Exact times TBA but it will be sometime Saturday later in the day likely. Both books will be available for purchase there as well and all merch stands will have my latest line of T Shirts available.

Nita Strauss was amazing. She has been playing for the last year or so with the great Alice Cooper, so I know she had the skills. She was also in an Iron Maiden cover band as well. She can flat out play.
I have really enjoyed all of the episodes this year. The variety has been great and I always learn something I didn’t know. My husband and I especially wanted to give honorable mention to Zakk and the duo of Kirk and Michael. I loved getting to see your Mom, Eddie. She is so cute. Thank you again Eddie for being you….
There’s a lot of Steel Panther history with Andy and Taime…hope they get brought into the conversation.
Mark Farner won’t remember this particluar concert, I don’t think, but I saw him at the top of the bill with Santana opening at Winterland in SF, circa 1971. The Bay Area is gonzo for Carlos, so when GFR came on there were some boos, as if the local crowd thought they were prima donnas. I, on the other hand, had seen Santana open for many shows, and watching GFR was like the first stop in a lifetime of watching longhair arena bands shred.
My impression of Farner on the show was that for all the craziness, he has lived well. “American Band” was the best answer to British dominance ever.
I wasn’t going to say it, but I will anyway: Am I the only one who misses the back view camera angle of Jennifer when she comes out to do The Top 5 segment? There’s been a couple of times that the angle wasn’t there, and my 13 year old son and I are very disappointed… : )
No, you’re not the only one. Plus, no Jennifer on Stump because the Ed-man got them all.
Totally! We need more of Jennifer, try to work her into the show more, that would be great.
