[@Sammo212]

[@coreyknight924]

I appreciate Eddie's knowledge on music, I don't like how he comes across. He's very arrogant and condescending.

[@WinterInTheForest]

He's accurate and to the point. I agree 100% the use of backing tracks is killing live music. It's too bad overly sensitive people struggle with fair criticism.

[@MarkRoss-er4yq]

The dude really has a my shit don’t stink persona about him in my opinion tbh.

[@American-Motors-Corporation]

@@WinterInTheForest most of the hate for him is mostly, the fact he doesn't shut the fuck up and let the rockstar talk, he also thinks everything is about him and how he did this or that! He's an ass!

[@MrFatsluttytone]

Knowledge of music? More like "Hair Metal Acumen."

[@braxtongreenwell5482]

I don't like how he kicks stall doors open on people in the bathroom

Eddie is the record store snobby employee who frowns on your selections when you bring them to the counter.

[@InkAndPoet]

"Worst. Record. Evur."

[@jwavada]

You can call him Record Store Guy.

[@JKimma8080]

Seriously you just took me back to the counter at my neighborhood record store via 1992 lol...there were 3 different balding 40 year old dudes who would do this and probably still live Iin their ma's basements now lol.

[@seanmurphy26]

He is way too milk-toast or softy to even have a hard take like that!

[@alex_flamer267]

Eddie would really have a fit if he ever found himself at an EDM show. Probably the only one in the crowd moaning and groaning as the epic drop hits.

[@RolandDeschain1]

Eddie Trunk's biggest problem is that he feels like he needs to be a part of everything, rather than just an enthusiastic observer. So everything is about how HE is involved in it somehow. He takes credit for so much, it's thoroughly obnoxious. It's the whole "He told meeee on myyyy show..."" thing

[@whoami7721]

Very true about how he seems to have a need to be a part of, or even take responsibility for, events in the last roughly fifteen of rock. In the Dio documentary, he says something that eluded to the notion that he got Dio, Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler, and Vinnie Appice back together for the Heaven And Hell thing. He claims this happened through one phone call with a suggestion to Ronnie. He has even claimed responsibility for the Guns N' Roses reunion with a phone call to Slash. This stuff just seems farfetched. Some caller on Eddie's satellite radio show asked him once if he did play an instrument. He said he's a "frustrated drummer" and can't play guitar to save his life. I get it. I taught myself to play drums well enough for three-chord punk, but I'm no Neil Peart. I think Eddie's like a lot of us: he wants to be in the band, in front of that audience, soaking up the attention, and putting out the energy we all love from rock. Unfortunately, we all don't have the talent to make it. Eddie does say things that I think are exactly from a fan's perspective regarding reunions and tours with bands with one or even no original members, and whatnot. He's sounded off regarding Ozzy Osbourne's condition in recent years, so that part I respect and love hearing from.

[@rc3694]

Eddie "I dont understand why Paul Stanley doesnt like me" Trunk

[@AarosConcerts]

I don’t get it either. Eddie is totally right about everything he’s said about KISS

[@jaynemanning4913]

He knows why Paul doesn’t like him and he’s ok with it.

[@ctfan1486]

He knows why Paul and Gene won't come on his show. Paul won't let Gene do it and Paul is hyper sensitive that Eddie has problems with other people wearing Peter and Ace makeup. He's also aware of why Rob Halford won't talk to him anymore, because he let KK come on his show and talk about his book.

[@PinkyJujubean]

He reminds of this friend in high school who was always talking about how metal he was. Sad to say he never grew up and still does that.

[@kevin2400]

I grew up listening to metal and I’m at 40 years old.. still listening to classic metal because rap music is utter $hit

[@PinkyJujubean]

@@kevin2400 yes but are you always going around acting like you're a bigger fan and "more metal" than anyone?

[@sermorel]

I think Eddie is absolutely right about the backing tracks issue. A band canceling a show because their laptop has stopped is inconceivable.

[@charlespancamo9771]

What if its VSTs they are using that they need or any other number of things? I'd think you'd have to be an idiot to jump right to backing tracks as the reason.

[@Madkalibyr]

Agreed, backing tracks? For real? Fans deserve a refund lol

[@evacody1249]

🙄🤦‍♂️ every band is using laptops these days, not just for backing tracks. But those that do it because they don't have that other member to fill in. No, it's not easy to just bring someone a long either.

[@sermorel]

@@evacody1249 I totally agree with using laptops in this regard.But if your show depends so much on it, you'd better have multiple backups. Canceling a show because of that seems like something for a teenage band. make a backup on your iphone whatever

[@rexbrumbelow1550]

Haha... good point

[@bb-gc2tx]

whos dave meltzer?

[@schmidington]

Regardless of how one might feel about Trunk, I do agree with his ideas on how a 'live' show should be presented. It's great seeing your favorite band, but the reason they are a band is because they join together to play music. If I wanted to just here some great tracks and hang out then I'd call my friends over. No one should be duped into spending money to watch some band they like basically give a 'phone it in' performance. Let's get the actual performance part of it right. It's disrespectful to fans imo for a band to half-ass a gig and act like they don't care.

[@kamikazekrush3758]

The problem with your argument is being in a "band" isn't the same as the 70's or 80's, I'm old, progressive rock is my favorite genre, so clearly I like great playing, but things change, these young guys now are performers, entertainers, not just musicians, and I'm not talking about Santa Cruz, they should be playing live, but for artist like Ronnie Radke (Falling in Reverse) his thing isnt to show you how great his guitarist is or how incredible the drummer is, it's a entertainment show, it's like being in a club with a DJ, it's not my thing personally, but I totally understand bands using technology, he brings a lot of excitement to his shows as compared to many of the old bands I grew up with that now just stand in one spot on stage with singers struggling to hit any note correctly, so yeah a old style "band" should be playing, but things change, imagine Bach or Beethoven watching Rush or Dream Theater use keyboards for strings or choir's, would they slam them for "faking it" or would they say "this is incredible, I no longer need to hire a 100 singers and violinist to bring my music to life" ?

[@themasonkindershow6841]

I play music and tbh it’s sad to see backing tracks. We don’t use them. When you miss a note or even hit the wrong note. That’s the beauty of live performance the rawness .

[@metpach]

@@themasonkindershow6841 but you also know that laptops control more than just tracks. A lot of these bigger shows will use laptops to control the lights, guitar effects, all kinds of things. The particular laptop that was stolen from Ronnie Radke, had all the synthesizer, and electronic tracks. It's like doing a show missing your bass player.

[@LT-TV90]

​@@metpach then they should get one or two keyboarders, problem solved. canceling a concert because you don't have a laptop is really pathetic.

[@hotlanta35]

It’s sad that it is acceptable in todays age to have laptops and backing tracks to prop up a live band. That’s why most music today simply does not rock.

[@mojorisen74]

To be fair, Wolfie was talking about the passive aggressive argument's that were going on between the band members, Alex and Dave especially. Dave was holding up the whole thing because he doesn't want to be involved if Sammy is there and Alex won't return any correspondence from Sammy and Mike about the tribute. Wolfie just gave up dealing with it and caring about it.

[@philfrank5601]

Trunk is bunk. He cuts people off, he gives the impression that he is on some kind of level of the oeople he interviews. He is not.. Unfortunately, he's also one of the last people who gives a rat's ass anymore about this music, with any history in the genre. Let the musicians speak...that's all he has to do. But he just can't bring himself to do it.

So funny to watch that band Santa Cruz just straight up give up seconds into a song. I almost expected the “singer” to tell everyone to get there money back at the door.😂

[@RolandDeschain1]

The thing is, that guy had a fairly reasonable explanation for what happened, but he was such an angry, defensive dickhead in the video you can't feel any sympathy for him.

[@RolandDeschain1]

@UC4dfkfzO_ND1ee5-7c2UqPg From what I recall it was something about the backing tracks were only harmonies, not the main lead vocal. But because they were out of sync it just looked like he was miming, until you go back and watch it again and see what he was talking about. But he didn't endear himself to anyone by being all: "Yeah, and you can all f**k off!"

@@Bls-of1ld if you're talking about one of his anniversary shows, then what's the problem with that? If you had an artist that wanted to play a concert for you and your behalf I'm sure like anybody else you would want to talk about that for years to come as well that's probably a memory that would last with you for the rest of your life. With all due respect sounds like you may have some unwanted hate for Eddie trunk just like this guy does for whatever reason

[@billywiththebulgingbaloonb5105]

02:25 Eddie has frequently called out Kiss for lipsyncing. It's one of the reasons Paul doesn't want to talk to him.

[@ESUSAMEX]

I do not agree with Trunk on a lot of topics, but he is correct with the fake live shows. I do not understand why anyone would procure expensive tickets to see a band who plays to tracks. I would rather save my money and invite 15 friends over and rock out to a CD on 10 with some beer and pizza

[@dimebagdave77]

Nobody speaks more highly of Eddie Trunk than Eddie Trunk

[@Jason_Maier]

I'll give Eddie Trunk credit for his knowledge. What I don't like is how condescending he is to any hard rock post 80's, how he's a major bootlicker for Gene Simmons and Ted Nugent.

This Eddie Trunk guy sounds like he's rock's version of Howard Sterns, the famous radio shock jock.

[@allanvanuga9196]

Great video.

[@LouisWritingSomethingCrazy]

Lol, that band might as well have called themselves Millie Vanillie

[@psutter5]

I'm with Trunk. Live is live! Period! True musicians don't need lip syncing, laptops or backing tracks. Albums CDs downloads are obviously perfect they are done in a studio. Live always sounds different, raw, powerful. There are more bands that DO NOT USE laptops than do. THOUSANDS. DAILY. In the beginning all bands start by being musicians. Listen to the 60s 70s 80s and 90s before computers and all these bands sounded awesome. Bands nowadays aren't as talented as a whole. Wolfgang saying he doesn't talk negative, yes he does and has. As a Van Halen fan yes you are his son but you we're not around and took no part in VAN Halen becoming great. Truth factual. Very talented! YES! AMAZINGLY TALENTED. Eddie was the last true greatest worshiped guitarist. It was and STILL IS criminal something wasn't done to honor him. NOT you or anyone else in that band. Eddie deserved that world recognition that world thank you the closing of the book send-off moment. The final last sentence in the book. Thank you Eddie Van Halen. Not David Lee not Sammy NOT Wolfgang. EDDIE! Like it or not Wolfgang you were born into greatness. Dad made you a spot by getting rid of Michael. Michael would of never quite period. Michael would have played every show every year. Yes again you are talented enough to play and it was your dad's band And your dad loved playing with you I get it. Gary Chrone was a bigger part of Van Halen.

[@PiTjlang]

"Douche chills [Lev. 10] 10" Every time Trunk utters the word "WOLFIE" ....Trunk NEEDS you to know he is an insider Same reason he [PURPOSLY] selects obscure 'deep tracks" as his favorite work from popular artists

[@ronwilliams1094]

Tracks have become so common that local cover bands are now using prerecorded parts to bolster their sound and honestly, it makes for a better listening experience.

[@chethammer]

If I want to listen to a favorite bands CD I'll stay home and play it myself, I don't need to pay them to give me a listening party.

[@Crankerny58]

I always loved watching "That Metal Show"

[@paulboisvert3215]

I like how Eddie is calling out bands for using tracks. Unfortunately, he doesn't understand how triggers and effects work. Rush and Toto were some of the first to start using sequences back in the 80's. That Finnish band really wasn't very good, though. I'm kinda with Eddie on that.

[@Bls-of1ld]

No he isn't...he's talking about ppl miming their singing and instruments

[@colonelhstinkmeaner8547]

I remember seeing him and Jim Florentine on the VH1

[@ThomasJackMoore]

I agree with Eddie on most of this. It is ki da sad that the best tribute that EVH got was the TH Tribute. Additionally, I mostly agree with him on the backing tracks. Now, that brings aid, if tracks are used to enhance a performance, strings, etc, I'm OK with it. However, I hate seeing Rock vocalists clearly lipsynch a track. That's not what I paid to see.

[@davetheimpaler204]

Yeah, I don't think Trunk was throwing shade at Wolfgang Van Halen but he probably took it that way because he's frustrated, and understandably so. Pre-recorded tracks are fine for things like sound effects and intros; things a band can do without if need be. If they have to cancel a show because they lost their pre-recorded tracks, they shouldn't be playing live in the first place.

[@paulvalentine1483]

Trunk is correct.

[@RowdyGrunt]

Eddie Trunk is that kid from high school who knew ALL the sports stats, and hung out with the jocks because he could rattle off their stats in exchange for hanging out with the cool kids. Except he does it for rock musicians. He's got no talent other than being insufferable in what he THINKS he's become, because he only talks about the accomplishments and skills of others. Somehow, in his little head, that makes him as skilled and talented as the people he has the opportunity to interview. He seems to have forgotten that he's NOT A ROCK STAR, AND NEVER WILL BE. If he'd stuck to being the humble correspondent, maybe he'd be worthy of respect. Eddie needs to get over himself, he's not the Rock and Roll Jedi he seems to think that he is.

[@thomasminarchickjr.7355]

Who ever consider Trunk the authority on hard rock and metal? Most of his tastes suck

[@johndough6623]

[@myshow667]

i dont listen to much of his interviews, hes a bit more hair metal oriented and like circus magazine like commentary. but his knows his history, cause he was there so i give it to him. How can i not when it was his DHA show that 1st introduced us to a new record by metallica called ride the lightning. I also got to meet him when i my editor did an interview with him and i tagged along to take some photos. Eddie let me play 3 songs on WNEW live on air. My Dad grew up listening to WNEW, as did I(altho PLJ was my fave). And then at Ozzfest backsatge one year he introduces me to Mike Piazza, Ive been a Mets fan since i watched the 73 WS against the A's. I fear my opinion may be a tad biased...

[@dogcowrph]

I agree with Eddie that there are scores of bands that can’t cut it live without technology. It’s reassuring to see bands like the E street Band or The Who who play almost every note is live. The Who have used synths on tape for songs like Baba O’Riley.

Eddie's correct about Eddie Van Halen should have had a tribute show by now. I am a musician and that Santa Cruz clip was sad.

There's nothing wrong with using additional tracks to enrich the sound. Countless singers have sung with a second lead singer off stage to add layers to the vocals. However the main music and vocal tracks should be them live.

[@davetheimpaler204]

Then have a live backup singer. Playing a backing track for your vocals feels cheap. And if you have to cancel a show because you don't have your backing tracks, you shouldn't even be playing live at all. The only thing backing tracks should be used for is sound effects, which you can do without if need be.

[@rticle15]

@@davetheimpaler204 ive said that for years. The dozens of bands who use backing singers should bring them on stage and give them a little spotlight.
