    I agree with him on this....

    Mind you...you could have dropped Jump and played one and I would of been OK with that....but the place went nuts for Jump...so it would never happen.

      I don't know. He gave a ton of time to Dio when he was alive and continues to give a lot of attention to Halford, Judas Priest and Iron Maiden. You can't call them hair band posers. He generally tries to hype up anyone coming out with new music regardless if glam, metal or thrash. I think it is cool that he does what he does - pay attention to the genre of music that most people on this board are fond of. No one else out there gives a shit about it. I think Trunk is cool.

        His four hours on Sat radio is the best programmed by far.

        I dig Trunk....he waves the banner for the older bands that many won't.

        Besides...if not for Trunk I would not have gotten into Thin Lizzy or UFO...they just never got airplay in my market.

        His love for Sammy is tough to take but...he props the classic six pack as untouchable and Classis VH as one of his favorite bands...

          Yeah, i agree his love for Sam is over the top (no pun intended). I openly complained here about him starting off the show one night with a Montrose song, a Sam solo song and then a Van Hagar song all back to back. It really pissed me off. Like most talking heads, though, you don't agree on everything. The good he does outweighs the few things he does that irritate me.

                  Did he say anything about Pete Way or recording a new album? Rumor was their latest is their last...

                    I was following Trunk's comments on twitter that he was sending out from the opening night of UFO's current US Tour... said they opened with 'Wild, Willing & The Innocent'... pretty cool!

                      As much as I rag on Spamulus Flatulus, I would give my left nut to have lived a life like he has:

                      1967 - While tripping on acid got to see Hendrix burn his guitar at Monterey (does not get ANY better than that)

                      Early 1970s - Got a legup into Major Label-land singing for a band signed to a major label.
                      Mid-1970s to Mid-1980s - has fairly successful solo career
                      Mid-1980s to Mid 1990s - FRONTMAN FOR VAN HALEN
                      Mid-1990s to Mid 2000s - Cuntinuation of solo career....builds up Tequila business...
                      Late 2000s - Sells majority interest in tequila business for 80 million dollars

                      All the while has a club in Mexico, house on the beach, all the booze and great pot he wants, can get hot bitches to slob his knob with no trouble.....


                      NOW....all I said was I would give my left nut to have lived a life like that. I am not saying I would want to be in his fucking shoes, because even though he has done all of the above, he has done so by writing, recording and performing non-stop Gerber Baby Food Rock for kiddies, and RUINED the greatest rock band on the planet.

                      IF I had the chance to live a life like that in MY shoes, I would at least have written some timeless, classic rock that is worth something. Instead of the lame drivel that has been drooling out of the asshole in his face since the late 70s.

                        Oh, and Eddie Trunk.....at least we DO have a 'spokesman' for Heavy Metal. Despite his Gaygar-worship, and other minor deficiencies in his musical taste, etc. overall I am glad we have him around.

                          When you put it in that perspective I have to agree with you on that HR. As for the Van Gaygar nut nibbling the guy does?

                          But we all know it would only take one single appearance from Diamond Dave on his show to change all that.....

                            He would be begging Uncle Dave to let him lick crap off the soles of Uncle Dave's boots!
