He’s been referred to as the man keeping rock alive or the man who saved rock n’ roll - and that is a direct quote from Eddie Trunk about himself. I’m only joking. I do like listening to Eddie Trunk whenever I come across his show or hear clips on youtube, but not everyone counts themselves a fan of the radio host. In today’s video let’s take a look at Eddie I Know Everybody in that band trunk’s rockstars he’d feuded with.
Just for some background on Trunk it was in the mid 80’s he started working for Megaforce records who had both metallica and anthrax on their roster. It was at the age of 25 he was the vice president of the company and he even got executive producer credits on a fe wband’s records including Anthrax, Raven, Overkill and Ace Frehley. It was throughout the 80’s and the 90’s he got into radio broadcasting and you might remember him from VH1 with that metal show as well. He’s still broadcasting today being heard on Sirius XM. Let’s get to the feuds.
LIzzy Borden
Lizzy borden would speak with Mark Morton at Heavy metal examiner and he would take a shot at Eddie Trunk. When asked why he never appeared on that metal show he would reveal “he’s actually one of those folks who doesn’t like us (referring to Trunk). He doesn’t get it, doesn’t understand it and just doesn’t want to know.” He’d go on to reveal playing rocklohoma and and how they were supposed to do an interview with Trunk, but he never showed up. Trunk was also supposed to see the band’s show with him adding “he only saw the last 20 seconds of it and then he went on his radio show and slammed us. And he slammed us on his tv show too.”” Borden would add that Trunk only covers stuff he’s interested in adding ‘he’s probably getting caught up in his own fame too.”
Trunk would end up responding to the interview claiming he’s never met Lizzy borden and how he’s supported bands he was not personally into of and how he’s into countless bands he doesn’t play, because his audience doesn’t care. As for rocklahoma, Trunk would claim he doesn’t interview bands so low on the bill and his contract only calls for him to interview the closing three bands each day. He’d also add he’s in fact played lizzy borden on his radio show adding a parting shot “Considering the lack of interest in the guys career after decades, i’ m not surprised he’s bitter.” ouch.
Static X -
Tony Campos and Edsel Dope would speak to the Battleline podcast and the topic of bands using pre-recorded tapes. Campos would tell the podcast “I don’t understand why anyone listens to that guy. He’s not a musician. He has no experience performing live, why listen to his opinion. Dope meanwhile would cite efficiency claiming bands from the 70’s who used to bring on lots of backup singers and musicians to round out their live shows - don’t need to do that anymore because of technological improvements. Also, it comes down to economics too - they can’t house and feed 26 people on tour.
Steel Panther - Eddie Trunk - Radio host Eddie “I know everybody and hung out with them’ trunk has long expressed his distaste for the band Steel Panther. It was during his show he was asked to name one band he never thought would make it and he singled out steel panther saying “It amazes me - the amount of shows and attention… They’ve gotten huge in England, but in America, they’re still basically a House of Blues-level band, but it always amazed me how popular Steel Panther got from what they started out as, which was a band called Metal School.
“They’re still a parody, a spoof, on ’80s rock. I think there’s a segment of their fanbase that isn’t even in on the joke, that is younger.
It was a year earlier he was a little more critical saying “I have nothing personal against anybody in the band. They are good people, they are good players and all that. But it’s a spoof. It’s an act. It’s mocking 80’s hard rock….“My time and energy are going to be invested into the bands from that era, that are still trying to make new, c

Who here listens to Eddie Trunk?
I do. Stop being envious of him! Your (subtle) disparagement of him makes you look petty. Just stick to the facts, guy!
I listen to his show daily and even doubly so on Mondays when he takes over Hair Nation on SiriusXM 🤘🏼💙
@@JHamzig I have to agree 💯 brother!
🤘🏼💙
I have unfortunately. Not because I like him but on the subject matter usually. His takes almost always suck. He's an embarrassment to heavy metal.
Honestly never heard of him till this video.
Point about so-called live bands not playing real live music is spot on.
Love the metal show there was nothing like it
eddie is still right tho
My friend Holly used to work for Eddie Trunk’s radio show. She used to answer phones for him. He used her constantly for information on air because he didn’t know answers to things people asked. She was the “answers in his ear” nobody saw. He doesn’t know the genre as much as he pretends to.
Precisely. He's got a producer, "Ed", at some point that does most of the research recently. "Eddie" however is fuggin' clueless.
Eddie "I like to hear myself talk" Trunk
Trunk is right. No tracks at live shows. I feel I have to research a show before buying tickets so I don't get a karaoke show. If I want a track I'll buy the record.
Most of em do at this point. King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard is the best thing going now and they don't use clicks/backing tracks/overdubs live.
Satchel’s prank call to Eddie is hilarious. I guess still is on RUclips.
Eddie trunk not only taught Eddie Van Halen how to play guitar, but also got ACE into Kiss... he's also known for writing the eagles Hotel California
Eddie Trunk synonymous with passive aggressive. It’s never his fault.
Kinda like traitor 45 ..
@@jinoziniosti5633 amen
I think more people should call out bands playing tracks … what’s the point of seeing a band live if they are not playing live
They should, but unfortunately they won't. It's become so commonplace and it's only gonna get worse. I hear people complain about Foo Fighters not needing 3 guitar players and a keyboard player, or Green Day not playing as a trio live, but that's because they're not playing with backing tracks. For some weird reason I hear people complain more about the number of people in a band more than the use of backing tracks.
Yeah neither Steel Panther nor Static X had a valid defense for that.
I dont think you know how Backtracks work
Backing tracks aren't just used for shitty singers and lazy instrumentalists. They're also used for the electronic elements a lot of bands use in their music these days like synth sequences, drum loops, and samples.
@@rev949Exactly. I just saw Electric Callboy back in May, and they use backing tracks for all the synthesizer and dance beat parts while the guitarists, bass player and drummer are all actually playing their instruments.
You also have to look at all the symphonic metal bands. They use backing tracks for the sounds you can only get from a full live orchestra.
His sick obsession with kiss - in paticular Paul Stanley is nauseating.
Eddie acts like a gatekeeper for the industry as well.
Can you blame him???
@@bobthebear1246yes! He’s doing a pisspoor job!
I like how unhinged Steel Panther makes him.
@@bobthebear1246
no
He is. In his mind.
Eddie does play an instrument. He plays the skin flute sucking up to his favorite aging musicians.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
He's a "Pickle Whistler!!" 😆😆
I wouldn't go that far- But he was probably the kid that dropped his pants and underwear all the way to the ground when he peed at a urinal in third grade
@lennypalmer 😂😂😂😂😂😂 holy shit dude
@@Scottocaster6668😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Doesn't help that he looks like everyone's dad I knew growing up
Or mom
I agree with him when it comes to bands playing live.
Even a broken clock is right two times a day.
I also agree with him about Kiss. And Sharon tbh
@@robwood1987 What did he say about KISS and Sharon?
I attended 4 tapings of That Metal Show and met Eddie, even being selected to appear on the segment "Stump The Trunk" one of those times. I took a pic with Eddie after the show. I have to say that he is very annoying and smarmy. He has the charisma of a worm. I've wondered how this Doughboy even got to the most coveted position of hanging out with major rockstars for a living. He comes off like a major sycophant fanboy and yet he is so welcomed into that fold. I just dont get it. 😳
What was your stump question
@@danielcantu859 That Metal Show Season 9 episode 6 Tracii Guns/Michael Monroe. You can find it on Vh1 still I think. It aired on 12/31/11. Can't believe it's been a million years already. 😳
@@kattilathehunfreedomfighter that’s real cool
Very well said
Man, I remember years back around the Chinese Democracy era when Axl showed up on Trunk’s show and the way they treated him…You would’ve thought Jesus himself walked into that room.
Gnr sucks lol
Oh, man, Guns N' Roses were so washed up by then. I never really liked anything after "You Could Be Mine", which was released right before the "Use Your Illusion" albums were in September 1991. Axl just seemed high on his own success when those came out, and I thought the music was very pretentious. Some of the songs went on forever, and I was perfectly happy to abandon them for grunge and punk.
@@whoami7721 I think Chinese Democracy is his magnum opus tbh 🤷🏿♂️
@@whoami7721I stopped after I heard "you could be mine" I can't stand that song, NEVER liked it. I cringe. I said "GnR will never top Appetite for Destruction, and I was right. "Patience" is pretty good tho.
@@Scottocaster6668 oooo shut up geek go drink water and cut grass troll
@4:15 I like how he worded that as if he just made up the phrase "don't judge a book by its cover" by himself in that moment.
The guy is the definition of a Nostalgia Enthusiast. I've never heard him once mention a band besides Steel Panther (hmm wonder why) that formed after 1989.
As I stated in my own comment, I listen to his show daily and he mentions newer upcoming bands and artists quite often. Of course he's gonna talk mainly about the bands and artists from the era he & the majority of his listeners came from. 💙👊🏼
@@jangles1839 His disapproval of sub genres of Metal is sickening. Chuck Shuldiner was a god. Trunk scoffs at him
@@Nickatlrke1014 he scoffs at one of the greatest musicians ever, but cant see the humor in poking fun at arguably the goofiest genre of metal with steel panther. him brushing off chuck is the cherry on top of many reasons I cant stand him
@@Nickatlrke1014 got news for you, 9/10 of this country hates death metal as much as Trunk does.
Aside from a fluke with Symbolic, Chuck sucked after Leprosy.
@@MetalPersonJ Spiritual Healing is a solid album, Human is a solid album, Individual Thought Patterns is a solid album
I loved when Eddie portrayed "Stewart" on Beavis & Butt-head.
His Winger shirt is the UFO shirt!🤣😂😂
@@impalaman9707 Except UFO were the real deal and a hugely influential band on a lot of later well-known rockers (the list of Michael Schenker and Pete Way devotees is long). Winger was, well . . .
Damn :) I didnt see that coming :) hahahahaha :):)
@@MarkMay-cr6bv Winger was good dude. How many people can play Reb's stuff???? Not many. So let's stop while we're ahead.
@@brandonarnett3860 Why do rock fans have to focus on how good the guitarist can play ? The lyrics were still dreadful boyband bubblegum pop. Reb was good, Kip not so much.
He's smarmy and annoying.
Eddie Trunk eats corn the long way.
That "falling in reverse" shit is HILARIOUS. Dude can't play live without a FUCKING LAPTOP. Same guy can't seem to keep himself out of prison.
Who’s this?
You are a joke.
"I blew everyone in that band"
😂
LMFAOO 😂
Eddie "I know every Rockstar and they are my friends" Trunk
Eddie I know everybody in that band trunk hahahahaha that's just too goddamn accurate! That dude's like a leech stuck on a rockstar's ass.
Eddie Trunk is the Dave Meltzer of rock journalism......... thats not a compliment.
So accurate is hurts
Dave Meltzer used to matter. Now he has lost his mind and loves all the awful things coke head tony does in AEW.
Great comparison! 👍
Haha ah come on, why do people hate Dave so much.
hahah well done
I met Eddie at a concert in 2015. Up to that point I thought he was okay, but I did hate the name dropping all the time. I love the "I know everybody in that band" that you added to his name, I hope that sticks. Anyway, I started to talk to him and as I do, a cute girl comes up and starts to talk to him too so he immediately turns from me, focus' on her for a minute or two and once she was done talking to him, he walks off. What a complete douche bag. He was also handing out photos of himself and bumper stickers that said "Eddie Trunk Rocks". Talk about an ego! I could never do sh*t like that. His ego is bigger than this universe and he loves to hear himself talk. It amazes me how he is put in such high regard by so many people and made a main host at almost anything that the features hard rock and metal bands or musicians...
I was the only guy backstage at an REO concert. I asked Kevin Cronin a question. He paused, looked me in the eye. and turned back around to talk to the ladies. Lol. I guess I don't blame him. 😂
Handing out pictures and bumper stickers of himself 😂😂😂😂😂😂
I watched That Metal Show strictly for Jim Floretine and Don Jamison and the guest musician each episode. Trunk was a douche I simply tolerated
Those two were funny
@@danielcantu859 I wish I had as deep a voice as Florentine!
Personally, I would have rather had Wayne and Garth hosting that show
I think we're all in agreement there. What an egotistical, know it all, douche
Ditto! He's such a whiner. (And give me Jim's Metal Midgets show over Trunk Nation anytime).
I’ve heard from a few people closer to the situation and he’s a huge jock sniffer
Trunk is the kid from Bevis and Butthead in the Winger shirt in cosplay
YES!!! Exactly lol
Stewart. 😂
Winger's a pretty good band in their defense, they had melodic and prog vibes into hair metal. It was just 1988 music was considered lame in 1994-95
@@xennial80sxberner I actually saw them play a free show at a carnival in Flagstaff 7 years ago and was kinda blown away by the musicianship. Not really attacking the bands just that Eddie is a fucking turd.
GOLD!
I actually agree with him about the backing tracks. 🤷♀
My favorite thing he'd do on That Metal Show, which always made me laugh, was when he'd have hair metal guys on and would get serious and quiet and talk about the "unfair prejudice" they experienced by being labled "hair metal." He'd almost be in tears, "it was never about the hair, it was always about the music!" 😂
It should be Eddie “I know everybody and I’m great friends with them” Trunk.
Lizzie Bordens lead singer looks like Jim Carey in drag.
Lizzy is the lead singer.
ok, He looks like Jim Carey in Drag
Eddie trunk is to rock ‘n’ roll what Dave Meltzer is to pro wrestling
Just came here to say Santa Cruz’s first album is awesome start to finish. They lost their way immediately, but that was lightning in a bottle.
When Sebastian Bach smashed the birthday cake in his face on stage and he went down hard was hysterical
His signature move is, when he argues the merits of an album, he names off all the well known tracks in a whiny voice.
He's a fan of saying he doesn't know someone when they're critical of him, huh
Ed "Parasite" Trunk.
I noticed 2 themes here. "I know everyone and everything" but somehow "i dont know them and i have no idea" kept coming up as well 😂🤣
With all the things coming out about how live music is being done today makes what happened with milli vanilli not look so bad, maybe they were just so far ahead of the times they didn’t even recognize it
Theres a GREAT interview that Patrick Bett David did with Fab from Milli Vanilli, those guys got screwed over SOOOO hard right from the start.
HIGHLY recommended, you'll have a great appreciation for them after you hear "thei" side of the story
@@bmcshane80Their episode of "Behind The Music" on VH1 back in the '90s was good and quite sad. Rob Pilatus died not too long after it was recorded.
I used to like some of Eddies Takes on that metal show but he definitely has always had an attitude. His attitude seems to continually get worse over the years
I remember seeing Trunk on VH1 and wondered what made him important
He's right about backing tracks and Steel Panther being a spoof.
I used to think Riki Rachtman was the most fake and obnoxious, until i encountered Eddie Trunk.
I like what Trunk has done to boost the genre. He just comes across as a 'My shit don't stink' jack ass.
Eddie Trunk is the epitome of washed-up Dad Rock guy. His music taste starts and ends with 70s and 80s Corporate Rock & he has very little knowledge about the underground metal scene. I remember one guy asked him a question about Sodom and he replied "never heard of that band" 😃😃😄 a real life Stewart Stevenson
His music tastes never evolved. His tastes were formed when he was a teenager and never changed. I personally was discovering and getting into all types of new and different styles of rock and metal well into my 20s.
That's the thing: he'll have the lead singer of Trixter on his show, and chat him up about their latest tour, acting like it's Taylor Swift selling out arenas. Trixter's a band that had about two hits right at the end of the glam metal era. Literally, late summer, maybe early fall of 1991, right as Nirvana broke! I think there are just a few people that actually care. Great for the band that they're actually still selling tickets, but I'm just not interested, and it's kind of sad.
@@whoami7721 Totally agreed. I remember his "That Metal Show" from the early 2010s. While metal scene was talking about Sabaton/Amon Amarth/Amorphis/Epica, he was talking about Trixter and Faster Pussycat as if those bands had any relevance in 2010. He was (and still is) totally removed from the actual metal scene.
@@LuchaLibertariawhy he was on vh1 classic and not mtv2 where they were doing the 2nd headbangers ball attempt.
@@kbar3612 he has a show on youtube and he is *still* talking about the same bands ;) I think this is more about him being narrow minded about music
I’ll say this about Steel Panther… Those first 2 albums were seriously great. The second album I’ve listened on repeat on many, MANY occasions.
He’s the Roger Ebert of the heavy metal community
That is both a compliment and insult
Most definitely.
No, he’s not.
Roger Ebert wrote some good books on movies
@@jc1of2 LOL.
My brother does this great impression of him. Eddie: That (insert band name) got back together because of me! I placed the phone call to (old inactive band guitarist) and said, Why don't you talk to (band vocalist) anymore? Then, he reached out to (band vocalist) that day and the ball started rolling!
One thing I admire about Eddie is he speaks out for fans regarding high ticket prices and the use of backing tracks during concerts. In that respect, he is the voice of the fan.
But, yeah, the guy didn't even play drums in a cover band in high school. He's said he's a "frustrated drummer", and that's about it. Maybe he never had the time to get competent on the traps. He was doing radio and writing music articles when most musicians were starting their careers.
Endless supply of namedropping
He KILLED my friend's Stryper all through the 80's now kisses their ass
Aerosmith doesn't use tracks, they have backup musicians and when Steven gets on top of the piano, Buck Johnson takes over. You can clearly see it when you go to a live show. Aerosmith has always toured with at a keyboard player to fill in the sound. Before Buck Johnson, it was Russ Irwin, before Irwin were Mark Radice, Ray Colcord and Richie Supa among others.
To be fair, I bet most people can't stand Eddie Trunk because he spends 90% of his airtime crying about KISS, last I checked.
Kiss sucks lol
@@derekgregg9009KISS is SUCH an overrated gimmick band. Other than rock and roll all night, I can’t think of a SINGLE kiss song
@@The_Mimewar agreed man. They are just capitalists.
@@The_Mimewar And that means, that they are overrated? :))))
I listen to his show daily and he rarely brings up KISS unless they have something to do with the daily news he's covering or something someone calls in brings up about them
Well, it's not much of a secret Eddie Trunk is a bootlicker for Gene Simmons and Ted Nugent.
He's always talking about himself and how he knows everyone
I can’t take people like him seriously because he’s an 80’s “GET OFF MY LAWN” gatekeeper. You cant be an honest critic when you are bias. He reminds me of the bearded door guys at local venues that only listens to unknown 80’s metal bands, wears local band t-shirts he bought in the 80’s and lives in his mothers basement because his 30 year old death metal band is gonna make it this year.
I'm born in 84 and am a massive hair/80s hard rock fan (always fascinated by it since I was a young kid) so I don't hold that against him. He does kinda simp for Sammy and Gene Simmons though lol
You missed a few things: Trunk has been highly critical of the Sweetish band "Ghost" calling them "a gimmick act.' This is rich given how Trunk will bather on and on about the greatness of Alice Cooper, King Diamond and Kiss. Trunk even went on to say you can't look like Ghost does and release songs like "Dance Macabre." Trunk's interview with Tobias Forge was at least to say "interesting."
He also says he roots for younger rock bands, but totally ignores the existence of the band "Shinedown." A rock band that went to #1 with their last album "Planet Zero." Unless you a throwback 70s act playing clubs or a close personal friend like Lizzy Hale, Truck won't acknowledge your existence.
Trunk was bitter that he didnt discover Ghost and was late to them. If he was friends with Tobias Forge he would have praised them.
"Shinedown??" Metal?? 🤦🏼♂️
Eddie ignores Shinedown because he's not friends with them and doesnt know them personally. Thats all there is to it because I know he's aware of them. Typical Eddie.
I’m totally fine with people ignoring fucking Shinedown lol
Shinedown was a tail end post grunge shitty Nickelback style 2000s band. Ghost is awesome though and keeping the spirit of melodic hard rock alive
"He likes butter." Oh shit!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Trunk can't even get facts correct; case in point: Steel Panther. They were previously called "Danger Kitty" and also "Metal Shop" (for the same-named old once-a-week syndicated radio show that played interviews and metal songs in the mid and late 80's - off of actual records BTW - Yes, old DJ here!). Trunk is literally THE person used as the blueprint for "Stewart" from Beavis and Butt-Head. As correctly stated in the comments; 'A rockstar wannabe.'
Loved that show and The Butcher Charlie Kendall!
Now I want to see him with a Winger shirt
Metal Shop was awesome. I first heard some amazing bands back in the late 80s on that show.
@@johnchedsey1306 Vinnie Moore - Mind's Eye!!!!
I heard Danger Kitty was only used as the band name when they did a credit card commercial. Also there was atomic punks, Ralph was always in that one and satchel I think joined later.
I don't have an opinion on him, but just realized that he looks a lot like the comedian Jeff Ross.
😂👍 "Holy Shit,he does!"
Gosh this narrator is Goofy as heck! He used to be a regular Canadian boy, now he dresses like he lives in Seattle in 1991, he sticks out like a sore thumb it is quite hilarious..
Love him or hate him, you can't really argue his point about live music.
I agree with Eddie on 1 thing cut the tracking at live shows an just fkn rock ofc Archie would come up with the lamest excuse for him being caught using a backing track.
Eddie is eh
But he is right about live tracks. I'll give a band like A7X using string tracks for songs like Afterlife.
But so many bands use tracks for something that if they just either hired a extra guy or the other guys on stage learned to sing a bit they could do it without tracks. That's weak sauce.
My whole channel was made for my dislike of Eddie trunk when he talked 💩about death metal and said it'll never be on that metal show hence THAT GOAT METAL SHOW was born
Eddie is Stewart in the Winger t-shirt
I really liked That Metal Show.
Love the metal show
I loved the co hosts more than Eddie
Same it was my favorite show in high school
I loved "That Metal Show" too, but mostly for Jim Florentine and Don Jamieson, some cool guests and the live performances (like Michael Schenker and Kirk Hammett playing together).
@@MarkMay-cr6bv I loved when they went out of the box and had bassists and drummers play
say what ya will about Steel Panther, but the song 1987 rocks!!!
In 2007 Eddie Trunk kissed my sister after I told him not to. At the time she was only 34 years old. I still have mixed emotions about it.
"Whats your talent? Oh. Critiquing my talent." Eminem.
He's not really wrong about Steel Panther
Yeah but you know all that going in. You either like Steel Panther or you dont.
Well he doesnt like that they are making fun of the music he loves.
They didn’t even have a defense for his argument either.
Appreciate you crediting us guys! Thanks
The Metal Show was the worst show to represent Metal. I never understood how Trunk is even a figure in the Metal culture.
I agree 100% about the miming and lip syncing. Why would anyone want to spend their money to go see a bunch of dudes running around on stage while playing a recording. I would rather see a band play badly than see them lip sync or mime instruments
Eddie Trunk may seems like a pompous cynical jerk, but he does make some valid points.
How things change the more they stay the same ❤❤❤
You don't like steel panther? Eddie isn't human, that's the line.
I only listen to underground Death and Black Metal. We don't habe these problems
Real talk
Eddie wouldn’t give bands like mine (Severed Angel) the time of day because we didn’t start in the 1980s.
He’s a giant Fanboy. A rockstar wannabe.
That's what I always said about Disc Jockeys! They were "failed musicians"
Agreed
I dont think he would necessarily disagree with you. Also you basically described the majority of music Fanbases Everywhere😊
@@RowdyYates12no theyre a disc jockeys I have never heard a single disc jockey claim to be a musician you people are weird you have a negative inclination towards someone because of their job title of playing music on the radio it's sounds like some weird envy thing
@@adamt4214 Yeah that makes little sense to me. I can see that maybe some DJs are failed music critics or writers more often than just failed musicians. Myself I'm almost the opposite. I've had a lot more luck as a musician than as a music critic. Not on the John Bonham level. I'm convinced he wanted to write about music as his unsolicited reviews of other artists during the Led Zeppelin era point out. I could be wrong.
What he says about steel panther is exactly how I’ve always felt about kiss, I don’t know much about trunk but from what I do know he’s just an over blown opinionater
I loved That Metal Show & always liked Trunk. Especially when they test his knowledge. And I do love Static-X. And dig Wolfie
Agreed!
Just missing the Winger T-Shirt.
I can't stand him either. I don't watch some interviews because he is the interviewer.
I found his obsession with UFO a little annoying. I like UFO, too--but his love for that band is just plain weird. He does have one thing right---he finds Bruce Springsteen to be overrated and overblown and so do I
I never really got Springsteen's appeal, either. The guy's got a gutteral voice and his songs all kind of sound the same to me, about the same subjects. Someone likes him (I know my older brother does), he's been a big name for about fifty years.
But, have you ever been into a band that isn't too popular? I could say that about my love for the thrash metal band Anthrax. I've been into them since 1990, through their many ups and downs and lineup changes. It's the same with Eddie and UFO, so I kind of understand it.
@@whoami7721 I admit--I'm the biggest James Gang fan I know---I don't think that band gets enough love and respect for their body of work as others of their era. Once you listen to albums by certain bands---and not just the handful of hits on the radio, you get a better appreciation for that band, so yes-I do understand that. Having listened to UFO--personally, I'm partial to their early 70s "space rock" stuff, pre-Michael Schenker. Once they changed to a more polished sound later, they were still good (don't get me wrong) but they just sounded like any other 70s hard rock band--like Bad Company or Foreigner
Growing up to him I didn’t know many bands he plugs. One then being UFO. Because of Eddie I was introduced or reminded of bands I should check out. He’s the only one doing this stuff.
UFO sucks
@@JesseVenturaHatFag got
I actually agree with Eddie trunk on backing tracks I'm not talking sound effects or loops of background singers I'm talking straight up music dubbing if rush can do it with 3 guys then 4 or 5 should be enough
Eddie"RUSH LIMBAUGH" TRUNK
Steel panther Rocks!!!
I really like his interviews. The incessant worship of Kiss is eye rolling. 😂
This tried to make Trunk look bad, but there’s nothing here that does.
I used to be a big fan of Eddie Truck, when I was in middle school and getting into metal I would make sure to catch That Metal Show whenever I could to just learn more about metal from the past and also because I liked the hosts. But in recent years he's shown how out of touch with modern music he really is, plus his ego. I give him a lot of credit for his knowledge, but stick to talking about what you know if you don't want to evolve with music.
In the early-mid 70s Frank Zappa got crucified in the media for using orchestra backing tacks. He replied it was too expensive to take an orchestra on the road for a couple of songs. Today, there's been a switch. People apparently hate Trunk for calling out their idols and don't care that their false god is incapable of playing or singing.
I ran into trunk and scott ian at a show once . Ian was friendly and polite but trunk turned his nose up at me like i was a lowly peasant.
Scott Ian is usually the one people say doesn't talk to fans.
He’s a journalist and a dj. That’s his job. He’s passionate about what he does. Does his research, and has done some good in depth interviews. Seems like a decent guy to. Don’t get all the hate. Lot of ignorant overreactive assholes in the comments. smh….
I appreciate what Eddie does to keep music relevant. I just wish it was someone else.
He likes Fozzy. His opinion on music is automatically null and void.
Fozzy was great on The Muppet Show😂
Fozzy is awesome
Cuz hes friends with Jericho so he pretends to like it.

I listen to Eddie Trunk's show daily and I've always enjoyed & respected his vast knowledge of heavy rock music and the people he knows. His ability to retain the knowledge he has over the years is really amazing.
And I've actually called in and corrected & "educated" him about Falling In Reverse and how bands like them need the software in those laptops for certain elements of their shows and songs.... doesn't in any way take away from the talents of those guys & gals! 🤘🏼💙
Eddie can't go a day without cryin' about KISS.
Trunk doing his best Deadpool imitation " I'm metal jesus " Keep thinking that roundboy
