I got to see my favorite radio DJ in the world, Eddie Trunk, at a speaking engagement at a club called Tuck N Reds in Yellow Springs, Ohio on Saturday, May 7th, of 2026.<\/p>

Several local bands opened the show, and they were all good, but I was there to see Eddie.<\/p>

I’ve been a fan of his since 1999.<\/p>

I don’t always agree with him and he sometimes annoys me, but I also think he is cool, knows a lot, and I consider him to be the luckiest music fan in the world.<\/p>

He has interviewed and\/or knows many of my musical heroes.<\/p>

At this event, Eddie talked about his history (43 years in radio, executive at Megaforce Records, worked at VH1 Classic as a VJ and co-host of That Metal Show, emcees many events, and an author) and told many different stories, including about my favorite guitarist Ace Frehley (Rest in Peace).\u00a0<\/p>

He told a story of how he and Ace went bowling and when Eddie went to get bowling shoes, Ace, who had never bowled, was throwing bowling balls like you would a soccer ball or most balls.<\/p>

He was also drunk.\u00a0 Cops were going to be called, but when Eddie told the guy that that was Ace, the guy said if Ace signed a bowling pin, he would not call the cops.<\/p>

Eddie said he was thinking about writing a book of just his Ace stories.\u00a0 For those that don’t know, Eddie was not only a fan of Ace’s, but he also helped get Ace signed to his first solo record deal.\u00a0 And they remained friends until Ace’s passing in 2025.<\/p>

Eddie has written two books about some of his favorite bands and is working on what I believe is his autobiography now, as well as a documentary about his life and career.<\/p>

Eddie also took questions from the audience, and I asked him about one of our mutual favorites Overkill.\u00a0 You can check out his answer in one of the videos below.<\/p>

I even got to “Stump The Trunk” (if you know his former TV Show That Metal Show, you know what I’m talking about).\u00a0 As a prize, he signed my books, took a picture with me, and gave me a bottle of water.<\/p>

He actually met everyone that wanted to meet him for free once the show was over.<\/p>

He was super cool with everyone and it was just a fun time.<\/p>

I’m glad I was able to properly meet him.<\/p>

Thank you Eddie for everything you do.\u00a0 You rock!!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
