1/15: FIRST TMS TAPING DONE, LIVE APPEARANCES COMING UP, MORE

Phenomenal first day of taping all new That Metal Show last night in NYC. New set, studio, and being back in NYC was all great. Really loved doing one show as oppose to our old schedule doing two a day and all of them in one week. Shooting one a week now gets fresher stuff on the air and more often. 12 all new shows kick off this Saturday with what we shot yesterday featuring Zakk Wylde (we celebrated his birthday on set in grand style!), M Shadows (great to finally get a member of A7X who are red hot these days with back to back #1 albums) and Jason Hook (he shredded and gave away a guitar). Think you guys will love the new shows. Many of the usual features back in as well as some new ones. We will rotate stuff out from week to week. Don’t miss the premiere this Saturday 11/10C ONLY on VH1 Classic. Great to be back doing TMS!

 

Next show we tape will be next Tuesday and feature Vernon and Corey from Living Colour, Morgan from Sevendust, and Joel Hoekstra (Night Ranger, TSO, Rock Of Ages) playing guitar. All first time guests! Specific guest shows will be announced week to week and are subject to change. Many, but not all, TMS S13 guests have been mentioned in the press release on the site. More to come.

 

Zakk Wylde will be live in studio with me this Friday on my Q104.3 show 11P-2A ET. Listen outside the NYC area using the stream at www.q1043.com or free Iheartradio app.

 

This Saturday me, Don & Jim will be doing a live show at Mexicali in Teaneck NJ. We start at 8P sharp. I host and tell stories, Don & Jim do stand up. I will have books and merch for sale on site as well. Once we finish live bands will perform. PLEASE NOTE NO LIVE APPEARANCES ARE THAT METAL SHOW TAPINGS. THEY ARE LIVE STORYTELLER/STAND UP COMEDY SHOWS AND NOT FOR TV. Hope to see you this Saturday night in Teaneck, 2/8 in Houston at Concert Pub N (solo show for me), 2/15 Starland Ballroom Sayreville NJ (me, Don & Jim, no music at all). As always info on the home page.

 

1/30 & 31 hosting Winger at Northern Lights in Milwaukee. Books and merch available at this show. Band starts at 8P sharp, meet me in the lobby each night starting at 7.

 

Tons going on, follow on Twitter @EddieTrunk Thanks!

1/12: TMS S13 IS HERE, RADIO UPDATE, LIVE SHOWS, PALLADIA, ZAKK, MORE.

Hope everyone had a great weekend. Spent most of it watching football and celebrating my daughter’s 10th birthday (Happy Birthday Elizabeth!). What a Championship Sunday we have next week. Can’t ask for more than the 2 top teams in each conference. Can’t wait! Weird to think the Super Bowl is taking place about 20 miles from where I live. This area soon to become pretty nuts I suspect.

 

My schedule is also about to become really nuts in a good way as That Metal Show season 13 is here! Have a full day of run throughs tomorrow in NYC and will see the latest set for the first time. It has been four years since we did TMS in NYC so it should be different for sure. Honestly I don’t care where we do it as long as we do it! All 12 new shows we will shoot over the course of the next 12 weeks are almost fully booked in advance. Pretty amazing and thanks to all the artists who have shown so much interest in wanting to be a part of our show. Incredible how it has grown in the US and around the world and thanks to YOU for that! The complete list of guests confirmed will be released Tuesday by VH1 and of course here in the space as well. Many first time guests and some returning favorites, plus a very diverse roster from rock, hard rock, metal, new and classic. First episode tapes this Tuesday, you will see it this Saturday 11P ET on VH1 Classic. Please note despite Palladia running some TMS in HD this weekend, the show and the new episodes will only be on VH1C. This is a network decision. TMS has become the flagship show for VH1C and they want the audience coming to that channel to see the new shows. It blows it’s not yet an HD channel. Nothing I can do about that. We will see what the future holds. But VH1C is the home for the new shows and all replays during the week. I’ll let you know when Palladia does another special with us again. Zakk Wylde, M Shadows, Jason Hook our guests in show 1 debuting this Saturday!

 

Keep an eye on the home page for listings of the many shows always being added. In the “Live Appearances & Signings” section, those are shows I will be at for sure and all also include book signing/selling for both books. PLEASE NOTE, live shows with me, Don and Jim, or the solo show I am doing in Houston 2/8, are NOT TMS tapings! If they are advertised as such it is wrong. They are live stand up shows only. Some will also feature live bands after we do our thing. If these are being misrepresented it is not by us. So please know that if coming out. Hope to see you and it is a great time, but they are not TV tapings.

 

Zakk Wylde in studio live with me tomorrow at 6P ET for a live TRUNKNation show. See you 6-10P ET on SiriusXM channel 39 for music and talk that rocks. Follow on Twitter for many more updates from the set @EddieTrunk

1/9: TMS LATEST, RADIO UPDATE, WINGER IN MILWAUKEE, TMS IN HD, MORE!

As I write this I’m listening to Black Sabbath Live at Hammersmith Odeon on Mob Rules tour. Damn I miss RJD. Just stunning stuff!

Anyway lot’s of stuff happening. Been going full force on the new season of TMS. Visiting our new NYC studio this Monday for a bunch of run through, then we tape the first new show in almost 6 months Tuesday that you will see 1/18 on VH1 Classic 11P ET. All 12 new shows we are about to do are almost totally booked. Last night we secured a great guest from a major act that has never been on before and is not heard from much. We will likely be announcing guests week to week so more on this soon. I was worried being in NYC about bookings since so many artists live in LA, but thankfully TMS has become big enough that people are willing to come to us now. This is huge because doing the show at home saves money that allows more new shows. As an example our past seasons were 8, this one is 12. All good stuff and we have many first time guests, returning favorites, and as usual a diverse mix of new and classic rock and metal. Keep an eye on Twitter for reports from the studio and photos @EddieTrunk

 

Zakk Wydle and M Shadows are the guests in the first show of TMS. Zakk will also be in studio with me at SiriusXM live this Monday 6-10P ET for TRUNKNation.

 

This Friday on the Q104.3 show I will be live 11P-2A. Frank Bello will be in studio to discuss and play music from his new side band with David Ellefson. You can hear this show free streaming live at www.q1043.com or use the free iHeartradio app. The streaming issues have been resolved from the previous few weeks!

 

Many live appearances coming up. Be sure to watch the home page listings. Just confirmed I am hosting two dates with Winger Jan 30 & 31 at Northern Lights Theater in the Potawatomi Casino in Milwaukee. In addition to hosting I’ll also be selling and signing my books pre show in the casino lobby. Winger on at 8, I’ll be there around 6:30 before the show at a table outside the theater. I hosted Winger in Vegas not long ago and they were great! Amazing players and everything was played live and real, unlike so many bands out there today. Different sets each night too. Will be fun for sure.

 

Don’t forget live gigs coming for me, Jim and Don 1/18 Mexicali Live in Teaneck NJ and now Starland Ballroom 2/15 in Sayreville NJ. These are NOT tapings of TMS. They are live stand up comedy shows that I host and also do some stories at. Then we all have fun doing trivia and Q&A at the end. Mexicali will follow that with live music. I will be doing this solo 2/8 at Concert Pub North in Houston too. Books signed and sold at all events. Look forward to Houston where I hear from so many great fans! More to come!

 

Don’t forget TMS weekend on Palladia in HD starts Saturday 9AM ET. Schedule of TMS episodes airing in HD in last post. VH1 Classic is not an HD channel but the shows are shot that way. This is the only way to see episodes in HD so set those DVRs!

Hope everyone had a great weekend and enjoyed the football. Today really feels like the start of 2014 as everyone seems to be back in action. After a couple weeks pre recorded for the holidays I am back live tonight on SiriusXM channel 39 TRUNKNation (Hair Nation) for the first Eddie Trunk Live of 2014. As usual the show will air live 6-10P ET/3-7 Pacific. Tons of stuff to cover and discuss so this first show back will feature plenty of open phones. Call in during the hours I have toll free US and Canada at 866-315-2663. Look forward to catching up with you all tonight for live interactive nationwide radio, Music & Talk That Rocks!

 

Just added a new date for a live show with Don & Jim. 2/15 at Starland Ballroom in Sayreville NJ. This show will be similar to others we have done together and feature stand up comedy, Q&A and more all with a metal angle. We have a blast doing these live gigs and also have one in Teaneck NJ at Mexicali live 1/18. And don’t forget I have a solo show 2/8 in Houston Texas at Concert Pub North as well. All live shows will also include a book signing at the end. Dates on the home page. Hope to add more solo and with Don & Jim soon.

 

The first new episode of TMS shoots a week from tomorrow. Going full steam ahead now toward our new season! I will announce more guests as they are confirmed for each week. Many have asked about the promo VH1C was running that mentioned guests. Yes many of those will be in the season and many more as well. But as usual things can change as well. More when I can share but out kickoff will be great with M Shadows, Zakk and Jason Hook! Be sure to follow @EddieTrunk on Twitter for all up to the second info and more!

1/5: M SHADOWS, ZAKK WYLDE, JASON HOOK GUESTS IN NEW TMS DEBUT 1/18!

The 1st episode of the new season of That Metal Show premieres 1/18 11P ET on VH1 Classic. It will be shot 1/14 in NYC. Guests will be M Shadows of Avenged Sevenfold, Zakk Wylde and Jason Hook of 5FDP on guitar. We are taping a new show every week for 12 weeks. The entire 12 weeks are not booked. Will let you know week to week who the guests will be as things are confirmed and we get closer to each taping. As usual guests are booked based on who is available when we need them, who VH1C approves, and which artists want to do the show. Look forward to having Matt and Jason on for the 1st time and the always hysterical Zakk back with us. Should be a great kickoff from NYC and there will also be a new set once again. More details soon. Psyched be be back with TMS! Also next weekend VH1C and Palladia (in HD!) will air a TMS marathon to get warmed up for the new shows again starting 1/18!
