Hope everyone had a great weekend.

I’ll be LIVE 6-10P ET / 3-7 Pacific on SiriusXM 39 TRUNK Nation tonight. Sammy Hagar and Taime Downe will be guests. I’ll be in Florida with Sammy this Thursday hosting the latest stop on his 40 years of rock tour at the Seminole Hard Rock in Hollywood FL. Sammy plays the arena this Thursday and you can meet me starting 6P right in the venue lobby selling and signing both of my books. Hope to see you if in S Florida this Thursday night!

 

TMS is back with all new shows this Jan. Thanks to all for the patience waiting for the new episodes. Have some cool stuff to announce soon. I’m taping some promo segments with Don & Jim in NJ this Wednesday. Will be fun to reconnect with the TMS crew!

 

Tons of reaction to my interviews with Ace & Peter this Friday. Remember you can hear these interviews on all my affiliates this weekend listed on my site and here On Demand for AA Members. Peter mainly celebrated how much fun he had playing my party, while Ace had some very direct words for Gene and Paul. There are no plans for them to work together. They simply jammed and had fun reconnecting for my event. I’m sure you’ve already read transcripts and heard audio posted all over the net. By the way, I would love to offer the other side of the equation the chance to respond, however as you well know by now they avoid my shows. But my door is always open..

 

Just watched an amazing film about Lamb Of God and the ordeal Randy Blythe went through with his court case in the Czech Republic. Powerful stuff. More on this soon.

 

Many requests for book signings in many cities which I appreciate. Please note I go to cities where there are opportunities offered and where my schedule permits. I simply can not get everywhere but will add new dates when I can. Please see the new dates in TX, OK, FL and PA just added. They are all on the home page. More when I can and my schedule allows. Thanks! In the meantime VOL 2 out now everywhere!

10/29: MY TAKE ON KISS, THE HALL, ACE & PETER, AND MORE.

I’ve seen SO many comments about Ace & Peter reuniting at my party, Kiss (as usual), the R&R Hall and Gene’s comments about Ace & Peter not playing, and more. Last night on the radio show had MANY calls on the topic with many opinions. I welcome all opinions as usual if based in some level of reality and not just blind worshipers one way or the other that drink the Kool Aid they are served. The biggest question I have heard from many is why would Gene & Paul (Gene most recently) continue to talk about what fuck ups these guys are (he hasn’t played with them in over ten years), talk about them being drunk or on drugs (both have been sober for many years now), and say they can’t play at a Hall induction when Kiss has not even been inducted yet (no matter how you feel, that is just INSANE!). The answer is simple. Gene is the ultimate salesman. He prides himself on this, that is no secret. His job is to sell THIS Kiss. Just like it was to sell all the other lineups when that was happening. Explains why he will tell you THIS Kiss is bigger than anything, when in reality they CO HEADLINE tours with Motley Crue instead of HEADLINING arenas in the US. Explains why he takes subtle shots about Ace & Peter doing signing shows, when he and Paul sell signed played guitars to fans after shows. Not a huge difference from what I see? But it’s about selling whatever he is doing and Kiss is doing now, which will soon be a sanctioned Kiss tribute with no original members. And who knows, that might be a pretty good band. Many will say the same old “Eddie is just backing up his friends, only cares about the original band”. Yes Ace & Peter are friends and did an amazing thing playing together for me recently. But I’m more just trying to offer some balance and objectivity as a lifelong Kiss fan myself, who HAS supported and loved all the replacement members and lineups. I simply chose not to support what they have been doing lately because the impersonation rubs me (and MANY others who won’t say it) the wrong way. That’s my huge sin to some I guess, so be it.

The real reason these barbs in the press from them continue at Ace & Peter is because they know the avalanche that would happen if they ever played with them again from fans and the media. Example? I was at the 1996 MTV Unplugged taping. Then they were all about the non makeup lineup with Singer and Kulick. That’s what they were selling then. When Ace & Peter came out for a brief appearance on a couple songs the entire crowd went nuts. From the second they stepped on that stage the electricity was insane, and they knew they had no choice but to go back to that band no matter how hard they were selling the Singer/Kulick band and about to release a new album with them. I felt a very similar energy in the crowd when Ace & Peter walked out on stage together at my event last Wednesday, right down to the ear to ear smiles from every fan and musician in the building! So I see it as a big defense mechanism by Gene & Paul. They know another reunion, even for a song, would ignite a huge fire once again. For the record I do NOT think there should be another original Kiss reunion. For a couple songs at a long overdue Hall induction, for sure! But for a tour, no way. I don’t think ANY of the original members could deliver enough of a high energy show to do the legacy justice at this stage. As I have said MANY times the current Kiss can and should do whatever they want. The fact that it’s not for me doesn’t matter. If you are cool with it enjoy what’s left of it. But the idea of the original band FINALLY getting into the Hall (and I must stress they were nominated before and passed over once already, so NOT a done deal!) and Ace & Peter not being invited and welcome to at least play a song or two would be a travesty to even the most hardcore Kiss fan. I look forward to your comments.

10/27: MORE ON THE RADIO PARTY W/ ACE & PETER, LIVE ON RADIO MONDAY, MORE

Had a great trip to Boston to hang with WAAF listeners Friday night for their Halloween show at Tsongas Arena. Met so many great fans on the concourse of the arena. Sold many books also, thanks! My show airs in Boston on Sunday nights at 8 so spread the word and tune in. Hope to do more there soon. Huge thanks to Sammy Hagar who gave me a ride in and out of Boston on his private jet and headlined the event. I never flew private in my life up until a year ago and now have done it 3 times. I need to hit the lottery! What a way to go! Always enjoy hanging with Sammy. As a lifelong fan it was an amazing way to cap an amazing month that also included the trip to Brazil, the new book release and of course the huge party this past Wednesday for my radio show.

 

Speaking of the party it is amazing how many people thought it was for my birthday, regardless of the fact it was billed as a listener party for 30 years of my radio show. I wish I was just 30 haha! My birthday is in August, funny to get so many greeting of people that didn’t know what it was for, but thanks. There were SO many amazing musicians, an incredible set by The Winery Dogs, and MANY incredible guests who made such a great effort to be there and be party of this epic night. But of course all anyone is talking about is the reunion on stage after 13 years of Ace Frehley & Peter Criss, who buried the hatched for my event and I am so thankful! I intentionally did not announce the special guests in advance. I wanted people to come because they wanted to come, and these legendary surprises were that much more special because of it. I knew Ace & Peter were coming, I invited them. I did not know they would play or play together! That was a major surprise for me. This weekend at The Chiller signing show that’s all anyone was talking about. I also think though people are reading a bit too much into it. Yes Ace & Peter hung out and became friends again. Jamming and rehearsing for my event and catching up backstage and clearing any differences. They wanted to do this for me and made that clear, but I am also happy as a fan that it cleared the air between the two of them. Ace is making a new album. Peter told me he is reinvigorated to finish a rock album now. I think it’s highly unlikely this leads to anything more with them together and who knows, maybe it’s the last time they play together (I hope not!), but it was magic if you were there. There are many video clips all over YouTube. Audio was pro recorded so we will see what becomes of that.It was truly KISStory for those that were there and I am super honored they did it for me and my radio shows 30th year. But also want to be sure the AMAZING other artists and performances that night at not overlooked. Because truly everyone nailed it last Wednesday and I am grateful!

 

I’ll be back live tomorrow for the SiriusXM show. Needless to say a TON to discuss after a couple weeks away. 6-10P ET on channel 39 TRUNKnation. I will be taking many calls and covering it all.

 

I hope to announce new book signings very soon for Ft Lauderdale, Dallas, Tulsa, Allentown PA, and more. Keep a close eye on this space and the Book Tour list on the home page. Thanks to all who have or will purchase my new book! Also please check out the cool new Eddie Trunk / TRUNK Nation merch on the just opened online store. Great for holiday gifts as well!
