8/20: LATEST UPDATE FROM A WEEKEND WITH RATT AND MORE!

Had a great weekend in IL and MI hosting a couple shows headlined by Ratt and also featuring Sebastian Bach, Dokken, Lita Ford, and in IL Warrant & Kip Winger. Also hosted a pre party in IL with LA Guns. Was a blast seeing everyone and thanks to all the amazing fans I met. Always blown away by the support I have from fans of the radio shows, books and of course TMS. Sincerely appreciated! Was most impressed by Ratt who sounded really powerful and Lita Ford, who has a great band with Mitch Perry, Marty O’Brien and Bobby Rock. She sounded great and the set list even had some Runaways. She is really on her game right now. Don Dokken had good and bad moments and admitted to me he has been struggling and is recovering from cancer. Said he will be fine and only has a few treatments left and it was found in his stomach early. Considering what he is dealing with I think Don and his band did a solid job. Bas was his usual energetic insane self! Was a great weekend and thank you Wauconda and Kalamazoo! Also thanks to Chuck Brennan for the lift on his private jet and Ratt and their management for the hook up. Hope to be back to both cities soon and will be in Chicago soon at HOB for my book tour. Info on the home page!

 

This Friday I’ll be live on Q104.3 NYC and announce the party for my radio shows FREE 30th Anniversary party 10/23 at Hard Rock Cafe. You will also be able to win tix on this site with details TBA. Of course you need to be in NYC or able to get here for it. Much more soon.

 

Spent the day talking to the Brazilian press to promote Monster Of Rock Festival and my 1st appearance there. Really excited to come to Sao Paulo and it seems like the fans are ready as well. This should be amazing and so glad to finally make it happen!

 

Thanks to Pat Travers and Bobby Blotzer who were my guests last night on SiriusXM. Joe Satriani joins me this Monday.

 

Just got another great set of reissue CDs from Rock Candy Records. Check out their amazing stuff at www.rockcandyrecords.com

 

Hope to have more book tour dates announced soon!

Info on next season of TMS coming soon.

Headed to an indoor water park for my sons 6th birthday Thursday. Happy birthday Raymond! Good stuff!!

8/15: IL & MI THIS WEEKEND, ALLEN LANIER, 30TH PARTY, MORE.

Just confirmed the plans for my 30th anniversary party of my FM radio show. I can tell you the date will be 10/23 and it will once again be at The Hard Rock in Times Sq NYC, the site of so many great events I have done over the years and also the site of my book launch and first signing on 9/24. Like the 25th, this will be a free event and the only way in is by listening to my show and also I’ll make tickets available on this site also. I’ll announce all details about the event and start on air ticket giveaways live on my Q104 show starting 8/23 between 11P-2A ET. This is going to be a fun night and most important FREE to YOU guys as a small way of saying thanks for supporting this show all these years. To be still standing doing a metal radio show for 3 decades is a testament to all of us spreading the word and keeping it alive! Much more TBA soon.

 

Off to Chicago tomorrow. My first of MANY trips in what is about to be the most hectic schedule of my life the next few months. I’ll be in Wauconda IL tomorrow at Lindys for the LA Guns Rockin The Farm pre party, and then the event itself Saturday which I will host. Then Sunday I’ll be in Kalamazoo MI at Wings Stadium for another show I’m hosting also headlined by Ratt. Details on both events in the banners above on home page. Look forward to seeing you if in this part of the country. Then I fly back on Monday and will be live on SiriusXM as usual at 6P ET for TRUNKnation on channel 39. Pat Travers will be a guest.

 

RIP Allen Lanier of BOC. Met Allen once at a signing show and was a super nice guy. Sad news to hear of his passing. BOC was such a pioneering band for the genre of music we love.

 

Have a great weekend all and follow on Twitter for up to the second photos and news @EddieTrunk

So great to have Breaking Bad back on, even though it’s the last 8 shows. Such an amazing show. Also you must watch Ray Donovan on Showtime, great TV! I think I’ve finally given up on True Blood. Man did they ruin this show the last couple seasons… Can’t wait for new SOA episodes.
