11/19: WOLFGANG VH INTERVIEW, MYLES KENNEDY & LAJON WITHERSPOON ON PODCAST, HAGAR & STONE GOSSARD ON RADIO NEXT WEEK

Sorry for the long time before posting here. Please be sure to follow me on Twitter @EddieTrunk as that is my primary place for news and info to share. Had a great hour on my SiriusXM show TrunkNation yesterday with Wolfgang Van Halen. I’ve known Wolf for a number of years, but this was the first interview and it really was a great chat. It’s hard not to root for him and his music given what he’s been through losing his Dad and what a well grounded person he is. Most important the music is really good. As much as it sucks EVH and VH are gone, I do think the future of the VH legacy is in really good hands. If you missed the interview it will replay this Sat & Sun 8P ET on SiriusXM 106 Volume. It’s also On Demand now SiriusXM app and will eventually be my podcast. Thanks also to Tracii Guns & Phil Lewis for joining me today. That replays this weekend 9P ET. Next week on TrunkNation Sammy Hagar joins me Monday, Stone Gossard of Pear Jam on Tues. Updates on Twitter. Also Mitch Perry on the Monday Hair Nation show 5-8P ET live in 39.

New podcast up today features Myles Kennedy and Lajon Witherspoon.

Sadly due to Covid concerns the Lita Ford show 12/12 in Tulsa and Kip Winger show in McKinney TX 12/13 have been cancelled.

10/6: RIP EDDIE VAN HALEN

Impossible to overstate the loss today of Eddie Van Halen. A day we hoped would never come. It was so hard to know what was really going on with EVH the last few years. So many conflicting messages. Sadly turns out he was as sick as was rumored. I learned of the news while live on air doing my SiriusXM show and stayed on an extra hour till 5P ET on 106. I will once again stay on an extra hour live tomorrow 2-5P ET on Volume. Many guests will no doubt join. Sebastian Bach and Mike McCready have already said they will call in. Many fan calls as well. It’s been a hell of a day to say the least. Incredibly tragic. I only interviewed Eddie once and met him once. But I will always know I grew up with VH and saw many shows, so I will cherish that for sure. Join me on the radio this week as we celebrate him with you the fans. Eddie Van Halen was needless to say a guitar icon, but also a brilliant songwriter, musician and innovator of music. I’m grateful to be able to say I saw his magic on stage many times and his music has been a part of every one of my radio shows since I started back in 1983. I got the first Van Halen album when it first came out and I’ll never forget the impact it had on me. RIP Eddie and condolences to his fans, friends and family.

PS: The VH Trunk Top 20 is replaying now till Mid on 106 Volume. More soon.
