Lemmy Dead at 70

[DONNIEP]

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.

I guess he really pissed Nikki Sixx off. He thought they were "friends", but now Nikki supposedly wants nothing to do with him.

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?

Donnie, be sure to give my condolences to "Dipshit", because the Panthers season will end next week.

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 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.

Or

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?
