Talk all the crap you can about real posers like Metallica.
Did you download the new Katy Perry son?. They say its about her break up with Russell Brand. You can play it after SHES ONLY 17 and then the other classic song TALK DIRTY TO ME afterwards.
We’ll do our best Kirk, cause talking crap is what we do best here. I’ll guess we’ll see you on the next Kingdom Come post that Eddie has on the site. Stay real Bro and love yourself. Cause based on your comments clearly nobody else will love you.
So many trolls here.
Did you ever hear TROLL TOLL by Danny Devito from ITS ALWAYS SUNNY IN PHILADELPHIA? Great song. Back to Lita, she doesn’t look bad but that weirdo mentioned Taylor Swift. Imagine you re a guitarist and you have sex with a guitarist who had sex with Iommi?
At first the thought kind of creeped me out – but now I’m thinking that would be like being touched by the hand of God. Which way you leaning on this one Richman?
Which way am I leaning? Dude she is also connected to Blackmore. (The guy from WASP too but fuck him). That vagina is where metal begins and ends. Those guys are it man. She gave pleasure to those who have earned it. Let me see: MACHINE HEAD BURN RISING PARANOID MASTER SABOTAGE(my favorite ever) HEAVEN AND HELL 13(why not). Imagine making love with all those albums, songs and riffs. I ll take that over BUSHes daughters and Chelsea Clinton anytime my man.
Geez now that you brought up Chris Holmes of WASP I would probably never get Sabbath in my head and just think about those cod pieces with the sawblades. Eventually I would just see Blackie Lawless’s face while he’s singing Fuck Like a Beast. So I might have to actually pass on your thought provoking love connection to Sabbath classics. I wish I could go there, but I just got cock blocked by Blackie Lawless.
Jesus christ, I dont know if Winger got this much attention when they were together…
LOL probably not Chomp – like they say, there’s no such thing as bad publicity.
Lita is hot, still, met her in Burbank last year. All the Runaways have had f’d up personal lives…Joan’s is an enigma. She was secretly married to her guitarist in ’80, now? Winger was huge back in the day.
And of course who could forget Holmes s fucked up scene in THE DECLINE OF WESTERN. CIVILIZATION 2: THE METAL YEARS. The guy downing VODKA(I think) while floating in a pool with his mother present. His guitar playing was fine, but that scene is credited with speeding up the metal genra s eventual demise in favor of Kurt Cobain and Layne Staley who were worse than anyone. As I said, metal begins and ends up inside Lita s thing. Imagine fucking like a beast that which was fucked by a beast who played FUCK LIKE A BEAST.
Richman – you’re the king, Dude. I can’t compete with that. I remember watching that movie with his Mom poolside with that solemn look on her face. I kept thinking ‘this can’t be real – it must be for show’. But then I thought no way Penelope Spheeris would stage it cause she’s all about the credibility.
BTW, the first WASP full length LP was actually pretty amazing.
Agreed. Up until HEADLESS CHILDREN, everything was good. HELLDORADO the song from later on was good too. I tried getting into newer stuff but its not there for me. I WANNA BE SOMEBODY and the whole first album are metal classics. Hey Kirk. SUCK ME SUCK ME EAT ME RAW
….This is HARDER FASTER!!!
You’re right on WASP, everything was good till then. I even enjoyed Crimson Idol even though it’s basically a Lawless solo record.
I’m loving how an article on Winger turned into a conversation on sleeping with Lita Ford and then morphed into a conversation on WASP. Only on eddietrunk.com.
God Bless Eddie for keeping this thing going. This website is great and a must read for anyone who ever wore a black tee shirt and needed a haircut. Don and Jim are great comedians and the show has a nice dynamic. Jake E Lee s return to the scene and his honesty was a nice break from the usual HOWS IT GOING MAN? You could see some sincere pain there and the hosts kept it light but I thought that was TMSes best moment.
