Questions for 'Stump the Trunk' are fed?


The audience can't make up their own questions???

clearly, they read them off of a card.

WTF is that???

reply

I think people submit their own questions before the show, then someone (producers?) picks a few out of those and those people get to ask their own questions.

I believe they're re-reading their own questions. They pick their own questions but they are prescreened.

Well, I suppose that would be okay then lol.

You know what I hate? People who take certain films seriously.

I loved it when a few rockers came on to ask questions (Sammy Hagar, Chris, Jericho, Steven Adler, etc.)

This is what I always understood, too.

I was to 2 tapings few years back when they were done in NYC. I was able to ask a question. They have audience members write down a question before the taping and if your question is selected they call your name and hand you or Jim the card with your question. I memorized my question so I looked at Eddie the entire time.

However, during the Dio and Geezer taping, they only allowed Dio/Sabbath questions to be asked.

I thought the same thing, pretty retarded. I'm sure I could easily stump him.

I'm happiest...in the saddle.

It's easy to stump Eddie, considering he only really knows about his classic 70's hard rock bands and his 80's glam metal bands. He is clueless when it comes to actual REAL metal. I bet you he couldn't even name you all of Slayers albums, let alone tell you Death Angel's band members and forget about him knowing anything POST 1989. Notice how no one asks him METAL questions, as in what was the name of that death metal singer. He has admitted that he both doesn't know any modern heavy metal and is not a fan of the heavy stuff. The ONLY heavy metal bands he likes are Anthrax and Overkill, because he's friends with the guys in the band (they all grew up together).

reply

Yeah, what's with him having different tastes than YOU. YOU are clearly the biggest and best METALHEAD in the WORLD and anyone that doesn't like what YOU like is a worthless IDIOT. They should make YOU the host because YOU are clearly superior to Eddie in EVERY way.

Calm the *beep* DOWN. He's hosting a METAL SHOW, NOT ME!! He lets his biases show very clearly and all I was stating were facts, NOT whether I'm more knowledgeable than him or not, or whether I'm more of a metal fan or not. Anyway, you're WAY too sensitive and defensive based on your EMOTIONAL reaction.

reply

Yep

Eddie's a wannabe metal head if you ask me. The way so many people overrated this know-it-all is beyond pathetic.

It was hilarious when Eddie heard the question wrong, thinking it was about Rudy Sarzo rather than Randy Rhoads, and for the rest of the show they busted his chops, asking if Rudy Sarzo played on this and that. You could see Eddie fuming. He even wanted to have the tape played back, even though everyone but him heard the woman say "Randy Rhoads"!

Eddie does have a habit of throwing tantrums. He's 50 years old, and he has the mentality of most online haters. The dude's moaning about the Grammys and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is downright childish. Say what you want about the Rock Hall and the Grammys, but Trunk is a big fat baby.

But that's part of what makes the show entertaining. He gets mocked on the show plenty by the co-hosts about what he does, including his weird obsession with UFO.

I wouldn't be surprised if Don and Jim in reality can't stand Eddie. There's definitely been some tension between them as the show progresses.

Nah, they're best buds. You can sense the camaraderie.

Even if that's generally true, cohosts Don and Jim both openly appreciate the heavier stuff, so it all balances out.

Plus there have been several guests on the show who represent the heavier side of metal, aside from Overkill and Anthrax, including Dave Lombardo from Slayer; Max Cavalera, the former singer of Sepultura; Corey from Slipknot; Phil Anselmo, the former singer of Pantera; that guy from Amon Amarth; Peter Steele of Type O Negative; King Diamond; members of Metallica and Megadeth. None of these are exactly light metal.

The only reason they didn't have Cannibal Crap on is because (1) they're not that popular and (2) their lyrics -- term used loosely -- are so laughably juvenile it'd mar the reputation of the show.

Aaron Leigh, the bass player from the Frank Hannon Band, just asked Eddie Trunk what was the last song on KISS "ALIVE II". That was a softball for a KISS expert like Eddie.
