7/9: BENATAR/GIRALDO PODCAST, DENVER AREA APPEARANCE & RUSH THIS WEEKEND, TMS MARATHON, MORE
One of the reasons I decided to start a podcast exactly a year ago was to have a platform for artists I like and respect that are a bit outside the world of music I usually deal with on my radio and TV shows. Prior to That Metal Show I was a host on VH1 Classic for years and interviewed every genre of artist. Although hard rock and metal is my personal favorite, I also like some other stuff, and even if I am not a huge fan love the conversation and variety at times. My new podcast for the week that posted today with Pat Benatar and Neil Giraldo is a perfect example of this. I do like Pat and Neil’s music, especially the harder stuff. I saw them live a few years ago and it was amazing how well she could still sing the stuff. She is an icon of female rock and another MASSIVE snub by the R&R HOF. Hope you guys enjoy this conversation with two talented musicians who have somehow managed to keep a marriage and working relationship going over 30 years. It is up now free as always on www.Podcastone.com or on Itunes. Just search The Eddie Trunk Podcast. And thanks for a great first year and supporting it each week!
Just found out VH1 Classic will air a That Metal Show marathon this Saturday night 7P-1A ET. Not sure what episodes will run but set those DVRs now and enjoy. Info on new shows when I get it.
Headed to Denver tonight. I’ll be signing and selling my books and merch tomorrow night (Friday) 9-11P at Buffalo Rose in Golden. Babylon AD and more play live. Then Saturday I am seeing Rush in Denver. Finally catching this tour and can’t wait! The Rush camp was nice enough to invite me to the soundcheck and I may even get a few minutes interview with one of the guys for radio and podcast. Follow on Twitter @EddieTrunk for info as it happens this weekend! And hope to hang with you if in the area tomorrow night at Buffalo Rose! I KNOW I’ll be seeing many Saturday at the Pepsi Center!
Live SiriusXM show this Monday 6-10P ET channel 39 TRUNKNation. Randy Blythe in studio, Jeff LaBar of Cinderella and Cormac Neeson of The Answer call in.
Although not considered Metal, Neil Giraldo is definitely a worthy guitarist.
Huge respect for Pat and Neil!
Eddie, you nailed it, “Precious Time,” one of the greatest guitar solo’s ever! Even 34 years later, whenever I listen to it, to this day it still gives me goose bumps! “Out -A- Touch,” another great solo from Neil. How do you choose? So many great songs/solos from Pat & Neil, do what I do, don’t choose, just enjoy them all! Hey, you can’t bang your head 24/7! Neil made me LMAO when he said the only way he’d ever get into the R&RHOF is if he paid $18 for parking, too funny! But it does suck of course that 2 of the greats like Pat Benatar & Neil Giraldo aren’t in there, oh well, again, it’s their (HOF) loss! Only complaint, the audio kind of sucked, I know it was a phone interview, hopefully maybe down the road you can get them in the studio? Great interview Ed, keep up the great work.
I 100% agree with you about his solo on “precious time”. It’s just an unbelievably perfect solo for that song. One of his best, in my opinion.
Pat Benatar and spyder great music friend gave me a listen to their first album in the heat of the night heatbreaker killer song I bought all her albums up to the late 80s really enjoyed that podcast ( loved asked about fast times at rigs not reference) she paved the way for female front women
Have a great time at the Rush concert Eddie!
