Great podcast for anyone who worships 80s + 90s rock. There are times when I wish he’d venture outside that era and cover “newer” bands like rival sons, dirty honey and whoever else is keeping the metal torch lit.
I just wish this narcissist wouldn’t make it about himself. Trunk must remind you in every aspect of what he does that he knows everyone and everyone is his friend.
Please Edward, remind us for the umpteenth time that you saw KISS at Madison Square Garden on December16, 1977.
He does good interviews. I just wish he wouldn’t make it about him. Trunk talks about how he knows everyone and everyone is his friend.
Amazing podcast. Eddie always does an amazing job with his interviews. I drive around all day for work and his podcast always makes my day. Great content and interactions. Incredible guests. Eddie is legendary, just like his guests. Never stop rocking Eddie! Much love from Texas.
Well done Eddie, I too saw KISS in 1977 and was mesmerised by them through the seventies. Another great loss in my
musical journey icon. Be well sir.
