Do people actually follow Trunk's twatter? I can't imagine a bunch of people waiting to hear him comment on, well, whatever he comments on.

Oh well, ya can't live forever and Lemmy sure did live like a rock star. I never was really into metal but all the footage I've seen of the guy looks like he was a cool dude.

First saw motorhead in 2005 while supporting the crue (should have been the other way around) and they sounded so sonically powerful for a 3 piece. Loved the setlist for the hour they played, which made me look into their back catalogue. Lemmy should be proud he did it his way and always stayed true to himself and the band.Fuck Trunk for posting it so he can get more hits on is twitter site.

I saw Motorhead open for Ozzy Osbournes Blizzard Of Oz at the old Checkerdome on Fri - 5 - 22 - 1981 . A bunch of friends and I having a good last hurrah at the end of our senior year . Motorhead kicked ass and brought the house down . I thought they were the loudest , heaviest band that I had ever seen or heard up to that point . They left quite an impression and I bought Motorhead Live No Sleep til Hammersmith shortly thereafter .

Lemmy The Lemon was a known collector of Nazi (i.e., FORD) memorabilia and praised Third Reich paraphernalia in general. Couldn't sing, couldn't play his instrument. Lemmy stood there was a mortified version of John Entwhislte and grunted shit. The man was a god damn walking car wreck. Cock chuggler never gave once shit about his health. An alcoholic, a heroin addict and a chain smoker. Surprised he made it past 60. Maybe he's jerking off that tool sack from INXS right now.

Of course the three of them really only worked together for a brief time. I think that Young Ones episode was about it....

I saw Motorhead at the Paleo Festival in Nyon, Switzerland, in July 2010. I'd been there to see Iggy Pop and the Stooges with J. Williamson on guitar (a disappointment), in the afternoon and Motorhead played in the evening. I'm not really a fan, but man how Lemmy and his band crushed the whole fest!
I have a thing for "No class", and I waited for the whole gig for them to play it, in vain.
I liked his interviews a lot, he was always spot on.

What a unique character he will remain anyway.

Fat cunt is using the death like he does everything else as a way to publicise himself.

I'll say that Trunk has a fair amount of memorized info he can conjure up at will about statistics regarding rock bands.

He just strikes me as a slightly cooler grown-up version of that character Stuart on Beavis and Butthead. Like, you just know back in his teens that he never got high, or drunk...or laid...and the first girl that laid him he ended up marrying...and the reason he never got around to doing those things back then was because he was too busy jacking off over the latest UFO release.

Sometimes he has some interesting things to say on his radio show when he's just giving a stream-of-consciousness soliloquy, which I suppose he eventually would over the course of talking for several hours at a shot, but you have to wade through so many hours of pandering softball interviews with fading rock stars to get to anything interesting he has to say (and the few interesting things he DOES have to say aren't all THAT insightful) it's not even worth the bother. Plus, he chokes in interviews when it comes to asking tough questions or pursuing lines of inquiry about things fans might actually want to hear about that might make his guests uncomfortable. It's smart in a business sense, because he is guest-friendly to the point where anyone being interviewed by him knows it will be a cakewalk, thus he'll always have a steady stream of guests.

I mean, Trunk has managed to make a name for himself chronicling the past accomplishments of others, but the talent in the metal field are past their primes and dying off. Thus, he's basically presiding over the leftovers. Wasting interview opportunities with useless "this band vs. that band" "this album vs, that album" "top 5" lists and name-dropping all the talent he has met.

Plus, he has a smug chubby face that deserves a punch in the chompers.

Anyway, shame about Lemmy. But that's the way he liked it, baby, he didn't want to live forever.

Trunk reminds me of this guy at my office, we'll call him Dipshit. The difference is Dipshit is a walking encyclopedia of sports stats. And that's all he talks about. Ever. Sports this, sports that, motherfucker apparently watches every game, memorizes every damn play, knows what every player did every second of every damn game, and he goes on and on and on about it. One day he's going on and on about some Panthers game and he's like "Oh man, did you see the game???" And I says nope, I was doing something with my kid, which I had been. And he's shocked that anybody might have any interest in life OTHER than sitting on a fucking couch jerkin off over other men's accomplishments. He tried to make some sort of snarky comment and I says if you're such a goddamn sports genius how come you ain't playing? Or coaching? Or working in a front office? Or maybe washing jock straps for the Panthers? He doesn't talk to me about sports anymore.

The only redeeming thing about Trunk's idiotic brain catalogue is that he's actually made a living off of it. I stopped watching TMS because I couldn't stand those two queers sidekicks he's got and honest to God I think the last episode I saw was Trunk talking to Sebastian about how big his cock is. I'm sure Trunk knows the length and girth of every cock in rock, limp and hard. And all that other crap he's memorized is just that - crap. Who really cares who sat in on bass on half a song by some band nobody but 7 complete losers has ever heard of?

And if I hear him brag about how White Lion used to live with him one more time...The guy can't even make a good story out of that! You know why? Because while they were crashing in his pad, he was busy sitting in his closet reading liner notes for records that nobody bought. You got a rock band living with you, you weasel your way into all the booze and blow and whores you can and then talk about it. Or just make some shit up!!

I should have gone on TMS and played Stump The Trunk. I would have said "Name five things that are fun to do with a chick that don't involve talking about shitty bands nobody knows." I would have won every prize they had.

Who really cares who sat in on bass on half a song by some band nobody but 7 complete losers has ever heard of?

And if I hear him brag about how White Lion used to live with him one more time...The guy can't even make a good story out of that! You know why? Because while they were crashing in his pad, he was busy sitting in his closet reading liner notes for records that nobody bought. You got a rock band living with you, you weasel your way into all the booze and blow and whores you can and then talk about it. Or just make some shit up!!

I should have gone on TMS and played Stump The Trunk. I would have said "Name five things that are fun to do with a chick that don't involve talking about shitty bands nobody knows." I would have won every prize they had.

I caught a bunch of episodes of TMS close to the beginning of the series, but after a time the show just became unwatchable to me. Trunk's two sidekicks are ostensibly stand-up comedians, but neither of them have anything funny to say. Then you get a special guest musician to play the band into commercial breaks, and that is relegated to ten seconds of instrumental wanking of the non-distinguishable type I can go into any Guitar Center anywhere and hear. When they did have guests on I was actually interested in seeing being interviewed, Trunk gave the guests 5 minutes of generalized questions then wasted the opportunity by having the interview subjects play Stump The Trunk. To the credit of the show, they DO have some pretty famous rock stars on it, but none of the interviews have produced anything of interest.

Trunk's radio show is much better in comparison. I'd agree it is commendable how Trunk has managed to parlay his knowledge of rock into some lucrative gigs for himself, in spite of his dud personality. Ultimately, his venues are just another promotional avenue for some bands to get their images out there. Like, a reformed G n R wouldn't need to go on Eddie Trunk's shows to sell tickets.

I love the take off on the idea of a " walking encyclopedia of sports stat". Trunk is truly, a fucking boneheaded, 13 year old halfwit. He mopes around the 7/11 hoping the cool guys will give him tips on sports or a musical clue...and staring enviously at the boobs of other guy's girlfriends. Them Snickers bars add up to a waistline, ya know?:yo:

I maybe overreacted calling him out on twitter but it just grated with me.

I was never a massive Motorhead fan but Trunk is clearly the antithesis of Lemmy and everything he stood for.

If he managed to restrain himself to not vomit/punch Trunk in the throat then that's just a degree of professionalism but watching Trunk spin that in some way to a friendship or whatever just rubbed me up the wrong way.

Of course I could be completely wrong having never met either of them - but I doubt it. :)

Motorhead back in the day stood for straight-up, balls-out heavy metal that didn't cave into corporate pressure to make their music more refined and smooth for mainstream audiences.

Trunk is emblematic of the remnants of metal as a contemporary fashion statement business pose. Whatever danger there was in the genre has been Disney-fied to make it more saleable to the aging audience.

Trunk's friendship to Lemmy is totally irrelevant to Motorhead's place in the rock genre.

My take was that Trunk's friendship with Lemmy could not have existed but again I admit I could be wrong not personally knowing either.

Something you wouldn't ever touch unless it was attached to a woman?
