Swamp Devil Posted April 10, 2011 Report Share Posted April 10, 2011 I went to Vintage Vinyl yesturday to get a signed copie of Trunks book. The store actually ran out of copies and Eddie had some in the trunk of his car(no pun intended). Book looks great, but I haven't really had the time to sit down and enjoy it, yet. There was a guy there that drove up from Maryland, thats probably 3 hours or so away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinsane Posted April 10, 2011 Report Share Posted April 10, 2011 Cool! Y&T shirt, nice! What cd is on the desk I wonder? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heaven&hell Posted April 11, 2011 Report Share Posted April 11, 2011 I need to pick up this book. I think they have it kind of cheap on Amazon. I've read it's pretty good but he tends to favor certain bands that he's more friendly with but I guess that's to be expected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LV KIX Posted April 11, 2011 Report Share Posted April 11, 2011 Does this book tend to lean more toward the more popular bands such as Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, Thin Lizzy, KISS,Motley Crue, and Guns N Roses... or does it include slightly more obscure bands like Kick Axe, Grim Reaper, Odin, and Dangerous Toys...?

Just the popular ones. And a little paragraph in the back for each band like KIX, White Snake, Riot(not Quit Riot) and others. The books $20 bucks a really good deal as far as books go.

Thanks for the info... I may pick it up once I can get it for under $10.00. I really don't wanna read about the popular bands who are over-hyped in many cases anyway.

Stefan Posted April 11, 2011 Report Share Posted April 11, 2011 Who the heck is Eddie Trunk? I'm too lazy to google... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fat Freddy Posted April 11, 2011 Report Share Posted April 11, 2011 Who the heck is Eddie Trunk? I'm too lazy to google... The Luckiest Metal Dork on the planet. He managed to parlay a relationship with Ace Frehley into various radio gigs and now television on VH1 Classic's irritating-but-inexplicably-popular "That Metal Show" ...obviously I'm not much of a fan.

Jeff Posted April 11, 2011 Report Share Posted April 11, 2011 I've never met Eddie Trunk but I used to catch his show now and then on XM radio and I thought he was a major kiss a$$ to the bands he figured he was "in" with and any other band that no longer existed he then felt it was safe to be critical of them or a certain release or whatever. Like Wes said, to be expected I suppose. The other thing about his show is he is long winded and repeats the same thing over and over...so if he is friends with a band I dont need to hear 20 times how great of guys they are, I get it.

cdjunky41 Posted April 11, 2011 Report Share Posted April 11, 2011 He's really a cool guy and makes time for people that want to talk to him.. Most people that don't like him, are mostly jealous (I know I am ). He started out working with Megaforce records, then became a D.J. (METALSHOP). He is a Metal Dork, but aren't we all?

Chris Posted April 12, 2011 Report Share Posted April 12, 2011 Someone actually drove 3 hours to meet Eddie Trunk? (Shakes head) I was thinking the same thing. I think when his show first came on, he had the world at his feet. Could have been one hell of a show but I think he fell short. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
