Brunzopolis Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 It was a decent show, I thought. Though I'd only really watch when I cared about the guests.Trunk said somewhere about how they always had trouble with VH1 and never really had much freedom. Maybe they'll get on somewhere else and have freedom. I bet the show would be much better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RussTCB Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 A buddy of mine told me about this yesterday. I'm not the worlds biggest Eddie Trunk fan, but I did like the show and think it served a purpose. Hopefully it continues in some fashion, maybe a web series or something. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyDeeds Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 I really, really liked the show but never had any idea when it was on. When I stumbled across it I always watched, though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

classicrawker Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 (edited) Loved that show. No matter what you thought of Trunk if you liked Metal it was a great show to see your favorite musicians. Also loved how he had a guest guitarist in the crowd to shred going into the commercials..........and stump the Trunk was funny to watch, especially when he wasn't able to answer the questions the audience member asked, as it really pissed him off. Give the man credit where credit is due but he did know his shit of useless heavy metal band trivia......

dalsh327 Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 It'll probably be picked up by AXS, Spike TV, Fuse, or IFC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasted Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 I only watched the Axl interview. I was surprised Jimbo wasn't more vocal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rovim Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 I only watched the Axl interview. I was surprised Jimbo wasn't more vocal.I think he was probably just tired as fuck. Axl really made those fellas work hard for that interview. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iron MikeyJ Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 They care shopping it around. VH1 gave them permission to go to another network, so I think it'll be back. I wonder why VH1 gave them trouble? It was the best show on that network. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Axl really made those fellas work hard for that interview.I've forgotten why they were trying so hard?It's Axl so I suppose they wanted to interview him badly cause the fact he doesn't talk much makes it more desirable and interesting imo. On top of that he was never boring to me and actually funny. I think the 2006 Trunk radio interview gave Eddie the chance to realize it is worth the hassle and it kinda comes with the territory and with Axl and also simply cause anything can happen in an Axl interview and that's what you want. With approval of the twitter questions beforehand of course. Brutally spontaneous. Edited January 25, 2016 by Rovim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dalsh327 Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 If it doesn't come back, they'll probably be doing more live appearances together, be on the radio more and do his podcast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
