1/3: RADIO SHOW UPDATE FOR TONIGHT & MONDAY, TMS, MOR CRUISE, MORE

LIVE show tonight as my regular format of hard rock, metal, news and talk continues for the 31st year! Hope you can join me live on Q104.3 NYC 11P-2A ET. Plenty of giveaways as well. And it’s a new year, so I’ll bring back some old favorite features of the show like the Underground Classic and maybe even Metal News in certain shows depending on schedule that week. Remember you can hear this show streaming live for free two ways; simply log on to www.q1043.com or use the free Iheartradio app and dial up Q104.3 / NYC / Classic Rock. Any past streaming issues should also now be resolved going forward. Hope you all enjoyed the last 3 weeks of holiday specials, now back to our usual mix tonight LIVE from a 0 degrees NYC!

 

Just a note for new audiences. My show on FM radio that happens live on Q104.3 Friday nights is the same show that is syndicated to several affiliates and online outlets the following weekend at the days and times listed on this site under Live & On The Air. So this weekend all of those stations air my Year In Review show. All affiliates just air a weekend behind. This show can also be heard On Demand if you are a member of this site. This show has nothing to do with my live SiriusXM show and is a weekly syndicated 3 hour show that is now 31 years old in its history. MANY ways to hear it each week totally free through streams and various affiliates. We are always looking for new stations to air the show and grow the network. They just have to say they want it! So let them know if your local station doesn’t carry it. Thanks!

 

LIVE SiriusXM show is back this Monday 6-10P ET on channel 39.

 

Lot’s of response to my recent appearance on Chriz Jericho’s podcast. It was number one in several countries so congrats to Chris. Many have asked if I might consider doing my own podcast. Doing two radio shows a week have kind of been filling that void for me, but it is something I may consider at some point for the new year. I’ll let you know. Just a question of time and being able to do it right.

 

New episodes of TMS start airing 1/18 on VH1C. I’ll have the guests for the debut show to announce very soon. Glad to have the TV show coming back from NYC with a fresh new show every Saturday night! More soon.

 

The Stryper show scheduled for Stage 48 in NYC has been postponed due to weather. New date TBA soon. All tix will be honored for the new date.

 

Monsters Of Rock Cruise now SOLD OUT! So more important than ever to enter now to win the free cabin for two on this site. It’s the only way in and winner announced 2/1. Deadline is 1/31 to enter. See you on board!

1/2: TMS IS NEAR, GUESTS, APPEARANCES AND MORE.

Happy 2014 to all! Holidays seemed to just blow by for me. Now right back into it with a busy start to the new year. We start taping new TMS 1/14. This is an entirely new schedule, location and studio for us. As a result I have very little information as to how things will roll into we get up and going in our new NYC spot. The shows will tape Tuesday nights and you will see them that Saturday at 11P ET on VH1 Classic. We will do new shows through the end of March. 12 new in a row as of now. Many asking me about audience tickets. Again, I do not control them, but the info and links have been posted many times on my various online outlets. Hope to see you there if you get in. I am also asked about who the guests are. Some shows are booked, some are not. Because for the first time ever we are doing a show a week for 12 weeks we likely will not release a complete season list. I will let you know soon who the first couple shows will be. As usual guests are booked based on who’s available, who wants to do the show, who VH1C approves to be on. The new season will as always feature first time and returning guests in rock and metal. More when I can share. Excited to FINALLY have new shows on!

 

One more thing as far as guests; OF COURSE we ask any major rock and metal artist to be on the show EVERY season! If they choose to make the time and be on the show or not it’s 100% up to them. If you want to see Eddie Van Halen as an example, guess what, SO DO WE! All we can do is ask! But if you want to help tell the artist you want to see on TMS through social media, etc, I encourage it! Maybe if they hear from the fans it will push them. We HAVE had tons of major acts on the show over the more than 100 episode history, but for the few hold outs our door is open as always. Maybe if they hear it from you and other fans it will help. Thanks!

Don’t miss me, Don & Jim in a live stand up show 1/18 at Mexicali Live in Teaneck NJ. Also I’ll be doing a solo live show 2/8 at Concert Pub North in Houston. More live appearances TBA.

The 2014 Monsters Of Rock cruise is near! Been an honor to host this event since the beginning and I will again this year. The contest to win a balcony cabin for 2 ends at the end of this month so be sure to enter now and see you on board!

I’ll be live on Q104.3 NYC tomorrow night 11P-2A ET as my usual format shows return for year 31 of the syndicated FM show. Listen online using the free iheartradio app. Don’t forget the rest of the network gets the 2013 Year In Review show this weekend.

 

Snow storm here in NJ now. Be safe everyone and happy new year to all!

12/30: HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL, 2013 RECAP & 2014 NEWS.

Thanks to all who came out to Dingbatz in NJ this past Saturday for our annual TMS party and to all the bands that played. The place was packed and it’s always a fun way to celebrate the holidays with our friends on our home turf in NJ at one of our favorite bars to hang. Next up me, Don & Jim will be doing a live show at Mexicali Live in Teaneck NJ 1/18. This is a live stand up show and also has some live Stump The Trunk. I host, Don & Jim do comedy and more. Tix on sale now. Also I will be doing a solo live show in Houston 2/8 at Concert Pub North. This show will be stories from my 30 plus years in music, live Stump The Trunk with prizes, Q&A and more. Many requests to come to Houston so hope to see you all at this event. All events I will also have my books for sale. More TBA soon on additional dates.

 

Hard to believe we have reached the end of 2013. Don’t know about you guys but it seems like time is flying by as we get older more than ever! This August I’m going to be 50! WTF!?! 2013 was truly an amazing year for me. The huge celebration for the 30 years of my radio show being a major highlight. All the great artists who played and of course the history that was made when Ace & Peter jammed together. Who knew it was a sign of things to come with the HOF announcement a few weeks after they mended their issues after 13 years? Another highlight for me was the chance to see the impact of TMS outside the USA and visit Brazil and Costa Rica for the first time. Was incredible to be in 2 countries that did not speak English as a main language and see the love for the show and metal and rock in general. Sao Paulo was massive and amazing to have hosted that festival and bring on one of my all time favorite bands Aerosmith in from of 30K plus! Hope to visit more cities in the US and more countries as opportunities come up.

 

2013 was also the year my 2nd book was released. Never thought I’d do a sequel but thanks to all who purchased the first a couple years ago that opportunity was presented to me and the response to this one has been great as well. Was great to do a 10 city book tour in September and meet so many of you out there on the road. Appreciate the support for my books and hope to do more down the line. VOL 1 & 2 available wherever books are sold and signed copies on my site. I will continue to do signings as my schedule permits at all appearances.

 

Extremely grateful that in 2013 TMS continued and we introduced a new set and a bunch of new features. Equally excited to start of 2014 with year 6 in the history of the show which finds us moving production back to NYC after 4 years in LA. We will have another new set and most importantly more new shows in a row. You will see the first new one 1/18 and every Saturday after for at least 12 weeks. And the shows will only be 4 days old after they debut each Saturday. This will give us fresher shows and more new ones. Our first taping is 1/14. I will announce guests when I can but many first time and returning guests already booked. As usual guests are based on who is available when we need them and who wants to do the show (and who VH1C wants on). TMS is going to kick in full throttle next week for the new season so be sure to keep an eye on my outlets and Twitter @EddieTrunk for updates and more. THANK YOU for watching and keeping this show alive, it has been an amazing ride that continues in 2014!

 

SO much I could discuss and reminisce about for 2013. It truly was a good one and I hope it was for you as well. Can’t wait to see what the new year holds on many fronts.

Hope you all are enjoying some holiday down time. Don’t forget my Year In Review radio special airs on all affiliate outlets this weekend and features nothing but hard rock and metal from 2013. List of stations on the site. Note to my audience in Madison WI area. The show is moving to a new station there. I’ll have all the details soon. Appreciate all the great support I have had there while on IBA and stand by for new station info very soon. Regular format shows resume for year 31 of my FM show on Q104.3 this Friday live at 11P ET. Live shows resume on SiriusXM channel 39 1/6 at 6P ET for more TRUNKNation.

 

Happy healthy New Year to all of you. Sincere thanks for watching, reading, listening and connecting with what I do. If you are someone that has been along with me since ’83, or brand new to my world, THANK YOU for your support and hope 2014 is great for you!

12/23: MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL, LATEST UPDATE ON ALL KINDS OF STUFF!

Hope everyone is doing good and ready for Christmas! Everything full steam ahead here at the Trunk house. We host family for Christmas Eve, then to my Mom’s Christmas day. Great time of year even though it was 65 degrees last couple days here in NJ. But temps dropping now so feeling “normal” again! Hope you all have a happy, healthy safe Christmas for those that celebrate with your loved ones this week. A few quick things:

 

*Don’t forget the TMS Christmas party with me, Don & Jim that was postponed due to snow will happen this Saturday 12/28 at Dingbatz in Clifton NJ! Free tickets to Schenker at Starland while supplies last.

 

*I am coming to Houston! Just announced date 2/8 at Concert Pub NORTH. I’ll be doing a one man show telling stories, taking questions, live trivia with prizes and a book signing at the end. Plus live music. More dates TBA.

 

*Still tons of reaction and discussion on Kiss and the HOF on my comments section. One thing seems many are confused by. You can play with a band but that does not mean you were inducted. Who is actually inducted vs who joins and plays with the band are two different things. TONS of people jam at the HOF that are not included in actual induction.

 

*My KISSmas special that aired last weekend on Q104.3 with Ace Frehley airs on all my affiliates this weekend at the dates and times listed. This is the case with EVERY FM show I do on Q104.3. It will also be available on this site for members On Demand. Station list and streams here: https://eddietrunk.com/live-and-on-the-air/eddie-trunk-rocks/

 

*This Friday on Q104.3 NYC is my final special year end show spotlighting all music from 2013. SiriusXM show returns live 1/6/14.

 

*Thanks to all who ordered signed personalized copies of my books. Don’t forget the new book is now available as well straight from me signed. Hit book tab on the site for order info. Both books available now anywhere books are sold physical and digital. Also the sale in my merch store ends 1/1, so be sure to grab something now before the discount expires!

 

*TMS is back with ALL NEW shows starting 1/18 on VH1C from NYC. Guests TBA soon. Many cool and first time guests coming. Ticket info for the audience was released by VH1 and is online.

 

*Got a text from Rob Halford today saying to wish all my audience Happy Holidays and new Priest coming in 2014. Thanks Rob! Message delivered.

 

*MANY news shows added to my Presents list. Take a look and listen to my shows to win to get in as well.

 

Merry Christmas to all and thanks for your support as always! More soon. Off to play with my kids and the trains under the tree!

12/21: KISSMAS & ACE RECAP, YEAR IN REVIEW, MORE

Thank you all for the great response to last nights KISSmas show. it was a fun one with a bunch of music from the bands entire history and a really good call in from Ace Frehley. Ace was in great spirits and said it had been a crazy week with all the HOF stuff coming down. He did reveal he did speak with Paul and Gene and all the vibes are positive at this time. He didn’t get into the past issues and name calling, just said everything was positive and it was a nice call without getting into anything too detailed. He did reveal that the HOF does want the band performing in makeup and was open to it (said he needs to start losing some weight now to fit in the costume). He also said his assumption was the night would end with R&R All Night as the jam (just wondering, does Cat Stevens jam with Kiss?!). Ace said there was much to be figured out still and the discussions would resume after the holidays. He did express a concern that Gene and Paul might want to also play with Tommy and Eric, which Ace said wasn’t right to him. He stated many times this honor was for the four guys that started it and it should be about the original band. He also stated he would not share a stage with Tommy and Eric if they too were wearing the makeup. Said the only scenario he could make work is if they were included out of makeup in the end in the all star jam. The entire KISSmas show from last night airs on all my affiliates and online outlets next weekend at the dates and times on my site listed under “Eddie Trunk Rock-FM” under Live & On The Air tab. If you are a member of this site you can hear it On Demand starting next weekend as well. The playlist will be posted for the show in that section of the site after it airs on all stations.

 

As I have said all along there are still many things to be worked out with Kiss and the HOF. Ace thought the band would play 3-4 songs. He also said he would never say never to doing something more with the original band if it made sense, but his focus now is on his new solo album he is currently recording. Everyone hopes this thing goes down the right way no doubt, but it’s just way too early to tell and there are still many discussions to happen between now and then. One thing for sure, assuming the original band indeed plays, that entire event is going to be DOMINATED by Kiss and their fans. Feel bad for the other inductees but that’s just what the HOF gets for making Kiss wait 15 years. IF it goes down the right way that place is going to be nuts in Brooklyn!

 

Final year end special show debuts on Q104.3 this Friday and is the Year In Review special with all the new music I featured in 2013. There is much more in this show than what’s on my personal Top 10, so get ready for a ton of new music you may have missed in the last year.

 

Merry Christmas all! More on twitter @EddieTrunk and Facebook as well. Don’t forget the sale in my merch store with 15% off everything runs until the end of the year so jump on that now. And both of my books now available direct from me signed and personalized. See the Books tab on the site.
