I woke up today to see the latest rock war of words with Paul Stanley firing back at Dee Snider over comments he made about the current Kiss on my podcast. What’s interesting about this is that Dee did this interview with me a few months ago, but I guess Paul just got around to hear about it and made sure to address it on Jericho’s podcast. Paul talks to Jericho, he does not speak with me, so I guess he felt that was the best way to fire back. The shelf life of podcasts is pretty amazing and this proves it. Since they are archived you never know when one will be heard and make news all over again. I agree with Dee’s comments and also don’t blame Paul for firing back. Both of these guys have been outspoken in their own way and I’ve always been a fan of people speaking their mind if I agree or not. Of course my name is in much of the news surrounding this in a few different ways even though I wasn’t the one that made the comments, but I’m used to that by now haha! I appreciate everyone listening to my podcasts. Truly amazing how popular they have become so quickly around the world. New every Thursday and tomorrows guest is Phil Collen of Def Leppard, next week Klaus Meine of Scorpions. Many more cool ones to come!
Headed to Vegas tomorrow. Have a couple meetings and then watching football and catching the Mayweather fight. Then from there I go to SF to do some interview for the upcoming Y&T documentary. I am on the road fairly non stop the next couple months so follow on Twitter @EddieTrunk for updates and I will post here when I can. My FM syndicated show this weekend features an all new exclusive interview from Germany with Klaus from Scorpions! This Monday’s SiriusXM show is recorded. Back live 9/21 with Geoff Tate among the guests.

Ed, Chris asked him about Dee’s comments and you weren’t mentioned by either one of them.
Paul seemed justified in shooting back but they both come across as old dudes shaking their fist at kids on the lawn. Sad to see a LOT of my heroes from my youth kinda reduced to these old, bitter, angry guys now in interviews or podcasts. You don’t get a tiny sense of that in your interviews with some of them? Paul & Gene & Dee back in the day used to give interviews that made you feel as a kid or teenager that you could run through a freakin’ wall and do or be anything you want to be. Now with these guys you feel like you’re listening to your Grandpa complain about things “these days” so much over Thanksgiving dinner that you abruptly change the subject just to shut them up and stop the rant.
Did Phil show up with his shirt on or off for the interview? 🙂
Thought I might give the Dee podcast another listen, but as of now iTunes and the Podcast App only has your most recent 9 episodes.
Phil Collen, Klaus Meine, Eddie’s podcast is rockin’! As will the Barclays be with the Scorpions on Saturday night!
“Loving You Sunday Morning,” that’s tomorrow,
“Big City Nights,” that’s tonight!
Barclays Center in Brooklyn…”We Built This House” for the Scorpions! Cheers!! 🙂
I thought the song is called “baked ziti nights”…another food reference
Elliot, if you’re trying to make me hungry again, it’s working! LOL! “Baked Ziti Nights,” good one Elliot! Love that Italian food. 😉
