The Eddie Trunk Podcast

Chris Jericho and P.J. Farley hang with Eddie for an extended conversation covering Iron Maiden's reluctant Hall of Fame induction and what should happen at the ceremony. They dive into their Kiss tribute band Kuarantine, which celebrates the non-makeup eighties era with upcoming New York shows and a new single release. The guys also discuss Fozzy's new video for 'I Know Evil,' their approach to releasing singles instead of full albums, and Chris drops hints about unreleased Van Halen archive material he's involved with. Plus, stories about Helloween at the Acropolis, Krokus in arenas, and the ridiculousness of eighties Kiss lyrics. After that, Billy Morrison stops by to chat about his fourth solo album Hollow. Billy talks about why he loves collaborating with rock legends like Marilyn Manson, Sully Erna, Nuno Bettencourt, and Duff McKagan, and how working with these artists keeps him sharp as a player. He discusses the new single 'Take Me As I Am,' which is purely his own work—written, played, and sung entirely by him. Billy also gets emotional remembering his close friend Ozzy Osbourne, nearly a year after his passing, and shares what it's like standing on stage every night with guitar virtuoso Steve Stevens in Billy Idol's band.

Tony Iommi joins the podcast to discuss his first solo album in over two decades, 'From the Dark.'

The members of Mastodon sit down for an incredibly honest conversation about their new album Marrow Deep. Bill, Troy, and Brann share the painful journey of making this record following the departure and subsequent death of guitarist Brent Hinds, as well as the loss of Brann's mother. They talk candidly about the documentary 'Mastodon in the Room' they created to address Brent's exit from the band, the challenges of maintaining a 25-year brotherhood, and how channeling grief into their music has become therapeutic. Following that, Eddie opens up about spending an afternoon with the country icon, Dolly Parton, when she made her rock covers album. He recounts how she declined her Rock Hall induction to make room for deserving rock artists, then created 'Rockstar' with 39 tracks featuring everyone from Steven Tyler to Sting. Eddie shares behind-the-scenes stories from their interview session in Nashville, including Slash's frantic texts and her genuine knowledge of every rock artist on the record. Kevin Cronin also chimes in to discuss duetting with Dolly on 'Keep On Loving You.' Closing the podcast, blues rock guitarist Jared James Nichols discusses his latest album Louder Than Fate. The conversation covers everything from workout routines on tour and advice from George Lynch about getting too bulked up, to collaborating with Keith Nelson, Tyler Bryant, and Tuk Smith on new material. Jared also opens up about his relationship with Gibson Guitars, including his signature Les Paul models and brand ambassador role.

Billy Bob Thornton returns to share fascinating tales from his six-year residency at LA's iconic Sunset Marquis Hotel, featured in the new documentary 'If These Walls Could Rock.' He recounts wild encounters with neighbors like Keith Richards, Jimmy Page, and Richard Harris, plus some pretty outrageous moments on the property. Billy Bob also discusses The Boxmasters' 21st album and their incredible experience opening for The Who, where they earned standing ovations. After that, Soul Asylum frontman Dave Pirner sits down for a wide-ranging conversation about the band's upcoming double album MPLS Unplugged. Dave opens up about being a self-described technophobe who just recently got an iPhone, the story behind Prince covering 'Stand Up and Be Strong,' and how the new acoustic record differs from their MTV Unplugged performance 30 years ago. They dive into Dave's songwriting process, which songs work acoustically versus electrically, and the incredible impact of 'Runaway Train' on both missing children and mental health awareness. Rounding out the podcast, Mikkey Dee joins for an in-depth conversation covering his terrifying health scare with sepsis that led to three surgeries and five weeks in the hospital. The Scorpions and former Motorhead drummer explains how the aggressive infection nearly took his right leg and his life. He discusses the formation of Lex Legion, reuniting four-fifths of a classic King Diamond lineup to create old-school metal with a modern twist. Mikkey also talks about Scorpions' continued vitality (despite the band members approaching 80), their upcoming Vegas residency, and why he's now the last man standing to carry Motorhead's torch forward.
