He’s been referred to as the man keeping rock alive or the man who saved rock n’ roll - and that is a direct quote from Eddie Trunk about himself. I’m only joking. I do like listening to Eddie Trunk whenever I come across his show or hear clips on youtube, but not everyone counts themselves a fan of the radio host. In today’s video let’s take a look at Eddie I Know Everybody in that band trunk’s rockstars he’d feuded with.
Just for some background on Trunk it was in the mid 80’s he started working for Megaforce records who had both metallica and anthrax on their roster. It was at the age of 25 he was the vice president of the company and he even got executive producer credits on a fe wband’s records including Anthrax, Raven, Overkill and Ace Frehley. It was throughout the 80’s and the 90’s he got into radio broadcasting and you might remember him from VH1 with that metal show as well. He’s still broadcasting today being heard on Sirius XM. Let’s get to the feuds.
LIzzy Borden
Lizzy borden would speak with Mark Morton at Heavy metal examiner and he would take a shot at Eddie Trunk. When asked why he never appeared on that metal show he would reveal “he’s actually one of those folks who doesn’t like us (referring to Trunk). He doesn’t get it, doesn’t understand it and just doesn’t want to know.” He’d go on to reveal playing rocklohoma and and how they were supposed to do an interview with Trunk, but he never showed up. Trunk was also supposed to see the band’s show with him adding “he only saw the last 20 seconds of it and then he went on his radio show and slammed us. And he slammed us on his tv show too.”” Borden would add that Trunk only covers stuff he’s interested in adding ‘he’s probably getting caught up in his own fame too.”
Trunk would end up responding to the interview claiming he’s never met Lizzy borden and how he’s supported bands he was not personally into of and how he’s into countless bands he doesn’t play, because his audience doesn’t care. As for rocklahoma, Trunk would claim he doesn’t interview bands so low on the bill and his contract only calls for him to interview the closing three bands each day. He’d also add he’s in fact played lizzy borden on his radio show adding a parting shot “Considering the lack of interest in the guys career after decades, i’ m not surprised he’s bitter.” ouch.
Static X -
Tony Campos and Edsel Dope would speak to the Battleline podcast and the topic of bands using pre-recorded tapes. Campos would tell the podcast “I don’t understand why anyone listens to that guy. He’s not a musician. He has no experience performing live, why listen to his opinion. Dope meanwhile would cite efficiency claiming bands from the 70’s who used to bring on lots of backup singers and musicians to round out their live shows - don’t need to do that anymore because of technological improvements. Also, it comes down to economics too - they can’t house and feed 26 people on tour.
Steel Panther - Eddie Trunk - Radio host Eddie “I know everybody and hung out with them’ trunk has long expressed his distaste for the band Steel Panther. It was during his show he was asked to name one band he never thought would make it and he singled out steel panther saying “It amazes me - the amount of shows and attention… They’ve gotten huge in England, but in America, they’re still basically a House of Blues-level band, but it always amazed me how popular Steel Panther got from what they started out as, which was a band called Metal School.
“They’re still a parody, a spoof, on ’80s rock. I think there’s a segment of their fanbase that isn’t even in on the joke, that is younger.
It was a year earlier he was a little more critical saying “I have nothing personal against anybody in the band. They are good people, they are good players and all that. But it’s a spoof. It’s an act. It’s mocking 80’s hard rock….“My time and energy are going to be invested into the bands from that era, that are still trying to make new, c
