Eddie Trunk's Essential Hard Rock and Heavy Metal Book

[indeedido]

can someone tell me what qualifies Hagar as heavy metal singer?

He had a song called Heavy Metal from the movie, Heavy Metal.

LMAO!

It's these new meds I'm on....they blend well with weed.

Plus I'm stoked! It's "Cheap Trick Day" here in Rockford, and we're all gonna go out tonight and we're all GONNA RAISE HELL!

Here's my list of Montrose songs that are worth a damn. (in no particular order)

1. Rock Candy
2. Rock Candy
3. Rock Candy
4. Rock Candy
5. Rock Candy

I may have left out some more that I'll think of later, but that's pretty much it.

Agree. I'm not a Montrose fan. In fact not a fan of most of the 70's rock that was that style. The only Sammy Hagar stuff I kinda like is his solo stuff pre-VH. (NOT 55!)

Post-VH he is way too much like Jimmy Buffet.

That's funny cause it makes me remember the interview with Eddie & Alex where Ed says about Sammy

"bottom line, the guys work ethic sucked"

LOLOLOLOL

Well, yeah, Edtard's work ethic has always been pristine, so he's more than entitled to criticize other people...

Cheers! :bottle:

Post-VH he is way too much like Jimmy Buffet.

With the notable exceptions being that not only does Buffett write good songs and is an all around entertainer, but you don't feel like jabbing a pencil into your ear every time you hear him speak or sing. Besides that, David Lee Roth thought enough of the guy to cover "Tin Cup Chalice".

Really wish Dave had included that on the "Diamond Dave" (mostly covers) album. Would be great to have a better version than the tinny distorted version from his radio promo tour.

[indeedido]

I dig his version of Tin Cup Chalice too.

I think Eddie's name would carry more weight if it was Dick instead of Eddie.

[Va Beach VH Fan]

I'd love to hear that Opie and Anthony interview....

[twonabomber]

i'll never forget Trunk whining "why would they play those AWFUL songs?" in response to someone's question about the '96 VH tracks being played on the '07 tour.

[Terry]

He'sa lot like Hagar in that his work ethic has gotten him a long way, but he's still totally lame...

He is a bit lame. While he has memorized a considerable amount of raw data about bands (lineups, album credits, etc.), he pays far too much lip service / air time to second rate hair band posers for my tastes.

[hideyoursheep]

I'm sorry, you lost me at "Eddie Trunk".

[GreenBayLA]

Not $pending any cash on a book penned by Eddie Junk in the Trunk. Watching That Metal Show is as far as I go. But he got one thing right, big fan of UFO.

[Dave's Bitch]

I would love to stab Trunk in the eye with a fork or something.He seems to know his stuff about some things but the guy is just not likeable.He would look so much better with a fork in the eye

[GreenBayLA]

Here ya go Dave's Bitch
