I see you finally were able to get Ted Nugent for TMS. Nice catch Eddie. Overall looks like a solid lineup.
It will be great to hear from Ace and Peter and their thoughts on the RnR Hall of Fame ! Mick Mars should be interesting along with Ted Nugent. And of course being from Buffalo…it will be great to see Billy Sheehan again. The best talk show on TV….keep up the good work guys….rock on.

Al Joergensen and Mick Mars? Nice!!!!!
2014 is REALLY looking up now!!! Always a great show with you guys! We love you all, thanks for helping this genre stay in the public eye and for giving us an inside look into the lives and careers of our heroes!
Eddie Trunk for Governor… Governor of METAL!!! ..and NJ with the current affairs at hand \m/
This season’s lineup looks stellar. It’s going to be interesting to see if Eddie, Don & Jim can keep Ted Nugent talking about music & not about how he thinks eliminating social safety net programs “benefits mankind” or some such blather. Looking forward to the episodes!
