spliff Posted April 14, 2016 Author Posted April 14, 2016 he's gonna get those questions regardless. he should just shut the fuck up and just act like he doesn't know shit.. instead he goes straight to twitter and says "If you guys only knew what we talked about the other night"

Europe anyone soon? gltta be a new record man, what did Axl say about that? so maybe he says what he can and then says "there's more I'm unable to discuss right now" to deflect all of that? Well apparently it's cooler to hate Eddie trunk. Personally if I got an interview with axl I'd be in here rubbing it in everybody's face loving every minute of the whiny nonsensical hate 2

Get over it. his attitude about is a tad smug at times, but he can't share stuff he's been told not to or his credibility is ruined and the band will never talk to him again. How many times now has he mentioned this "stuff" since Vegas happened? Can't wait to listen tomorrow morning to keep a mental tally of how many times he makes mention of it. Say it once, and move on.

He's just doing what he does, good for him. It doesn't affect me or my life any.
Popular Post yourcrazy Posted April 14, 2016 Popular Post Posted April 14, 2016 Actually met Eddie at the show. Very cool guy and gracious and friendly towards the fans. I asked him if he was going to hang out til 5 am again and interview Axl. He laughed and said maybe. I'm sure he does know stuff we don't and if he betrays Axl and leaks stuff he will never again have any access. I'm not sure why people hate on him. In the end, he's just a music fan and helping to keep things like this on the forefront instead of being forgotten about. 5

Why are people still shocked by this? He sounds annoying trying to be humble about not going to the second show. Really dude? Just accept the ticket and go. Reading how this guy comes across it kind of baffles me that Axl would want anything to do with him, let alone give this guy an interview. I guess something is better than nothing though. Appreciate you transcribing it so I didn't have to listen to him. He makes it sound like both going to the show and not bugging them isn't an option. Can't believe he didn't want to go to the 2nd show and enjoy it for what it was. 4
Tom2112 Posted April 14, 2016 Posted April 14, 2016 Totally get where he's coming from. If they tell him something and ask him to sit on it, what's he going to do? BUT he's in the entertainment business and it's good business for him to make it known that he is in the "inner circle" of confidants. Yep, as a fan of the band and someone who just wants to know the details the cryptic talk erks me a bit... but, I really didn't expect anything else. Nonetheless! the podcast was interesting, told some cool stories and has at least answered one question on the band, that the vibe in the group is overwhelmingly positive. Guessing the news he's referring to is more touring, but the outside hope is new material. I think if he was talking about Izzy or Adler he wouldn't have mentioned them separately to the rest of the chat. Could easily be a Euro tour, this tour does not need tickets released 6 months in advance, 2 months notice would be more than enough to sell out in most countries in Europe.
GNRfan2008 Posted April 14, 2016 Posted April 14, 2016 He didn't need to say anything about the secret information he knows. But on the bright side, it sounds like he expects it to be announced pretty soon. Would be awesome if it's new music. 1
starlight Posted April 14, 2016 Posted April 14, 2016 well maybe this is still axl's band but he needs slash in GnR if he wants to continue so he has to accept some compromise and listen to what slash and duff have to say 1

spliff Posted April 14, 2016 Author Posted April 14, 2016 (edited) to put it context he said this is still axl's band because of fortus/frank ferrari and they're still playing cd songs which trunk said he likes Edited April 14, 2016 by spliff
3rd Wheel Posted April 14, 2016 Posted April 14, 2016 "I know something but can't say" is a classic media marketing tool to entice listeners to return for future episodes. Good chance his "insider information" isn't that juicy or not anything beyond basic forum theories.
Shack Posted April 14, 2016 Posted April 14, 2016 I'm indifferent towards Trunk and if I were in his shoes I'd certainly be on here saying things like, "There are big things on the horizon! I can't really talk about it, but I'm excited and you should be too!" But to say, "I know why Pitman is gone and I will never be able to tell you about it." In that case you don't say anything. It doesn't stir up anything but negative speculation. It's bush league. You can make yourself out to be the insider without throwing that out there. 1

That's a good point...and really, no one actually cares about Pittman, so he could have easily left that completely in his back pocket.
3rd Wheel Posted April 14, 2016 Posted April 14, 2016 I also don't think much of his "It's still Axl's band" statement. Of course it is. Axl still has the legal rights. If he's talking about it from a "vibe" standpoint, meh. Don't buy it. Trunk has long been one of the biggest Axl defenders in the rock media industry. He might be playing a power struggle for Axl even if Axl doesn't want it. 1
Strange Broue Posted April 14, 2016 Posted April 14, 2016 trunk knows shit we don't but won't tell us until they're annouced I never get then WHY it's so important to mention that you know something but you won't tell feels like it's a fucking kindergarten That's why i think all these insiders are morons
TheDemocracyRose Posted April 14, 2016 Posted April 14, 2016 (edited) Relax people. We will know soon enough. Hopefully it's new music. Edited April 14, 2016 by TheDemocracyRose
DieselDaisy Posted April 14, 2016 Posted April 14, 2016 (edited) I've never come across t-shirts that have been $45 before, which would be about £30. I bought a t-shirt at a Neil Young show and it was around £20 ($28). £18-£20 is how much they cost at the shows I've been to. Edited April 14, 2016 by DieselDaisy

The baseball shirt with the cross that I wanted was freaking $65 though. Fuck that. I never by shirts at shows anymore because they are over priced and usually suck. I did but one in Vegas though because it was a special night and the shirt was show specific.
Guest Posted April 14, 2016 Posted April 14, 2016 Jesus fucking Christ, Trunk... If you can't say the super secret bullshit, don't even bother mentioning it for crying out loud... wanker

Billsfan Posted April 14, 2016 Posted April 14, 2016 I do like that he predicts Izzy and Adler to turn up at some point of the tour. It's interesting that he says that AFTER the Vegas shows, when right beforehand on his own show he didn't sound optimistic about either joining... Could be a slight hint at something he can't giveaway but that does give me hope.

I remember him choosing either choosing skidrow over gnr or sebastian bach over axl in one of those top 5 lists they did on the metal show Yeah he also chose Back in Black over AFD once. Nothing wrong with that, tho. To each their own.
