Definitely was a fun show. Eddie and the guys were always funny. Actually forgot all about Eddie until now. I'll have to check out his podcast sometime.

Not a fan.
I think of Trunk as the "Guy Fieri of music" or the "Bono of music personalities", he, by most accounts is a perfectly fine dude and everything, but there's just something about him that folks don't like.
Eddie feels the need to put himself into the narrative, but I've learned to live with that because I loved the band interviews, shred guitar performances, and all-around goofiness of the show. There is nothing out there like this anymore. And how am I supposed to know what the hell is going on with Don Dokken?
He's on Sirius XM all the time, at least was somewhat recently.

I downloaded and watched all the episodes back in the day. I don't like Trunk, but that didn't stop me from enjoying the show. Also it was a bit too stuck in the 80's sometimes and I wish they'd expanded into more modern metal at least a little bit, but like I said, I still enjoyed it.
I've thought about subscribing, but it seems pricey for how much I'd use it.
Yeah, I don't think I'd recommend it honestly. I had a free trial with my car and it wasn't anything special.
I didn't mind the show, but there was definitely something about him that is a little off putting. I can't put my finger on it.
I think Sirius is one of those products like cable TV... It's geared for old people. And I say that being in my late 30's lol

Could be a bit whiny and arrogant at times, plus the bands that were on the band seemed to focus only around his taste in hands.

IIRC when I listened to a few eps, the first 15 -20 min was a lot of nothing segment. Forgot what it covered but took a LONG time to get to the episode's topic.

I wish I could find the clip, but there was a great segment where Trunk got took to task on his Van Halen list and got roasted by Jay Mohr and Ron Bennington for being too cool for the room for not having Unchained on it. Being younger at the time I kinda resented the show for its missed opportunity to help up and comers, instead of being stuck reliving their high school years.

Show had too many old bands on it yeah I dug some of them but I would have much. Prefered if they had new bands on it.

I used to watch this shit all the time because I was living in the middle of the woods with shit internet, and the only thing to do when I wasn't outside or practicing guitar was watch satellite TV. I liked the show because let's be honest it was still better then 99% of crap on TV. But for anyone in the age demographic for TMS, how many times can you listen to Eddie say "so like.... Kiss Destroyer II changed my life man" 
Also I remember when Jake E Lee was the guest guitarist and played some of the worst shit I've ever heard in my life. I couldn't tell if his guitar was out of tune or what.

Always a show I could either take or leave. And yeah, Trunk is a fine dude, but I also can't put my finger on why I can't take him either.

I look at it like this: I'm younger than he is, by a bit - he's a guy that reminds of a "type" that if I was at some family function or outing etc. and someone said "hey! you two are both metal guys! you'd hit it off!" I'd end up wishing I got a root canal instead by the end of the conversation.
Not a bad dude by any means, I just am totally disinterested in a metal "aficionado" like him
