Pictures of Geddy and Alex from "That Metal Show"

Recommended Posts

Hi everyone, I had the privilege of attending the taping of Eddie Trunk's "That Metal Show" where Geddy and Alex were the guests. The studio audience was about 60 people which included Bumblefoot from Guns N' Roses!

 

It was a lot of fun and very well organized. Thanks to Eddie Trunk and his staff for making things so loose and enjoyable.

 

ps- I would have posted under the existing thread(s) but they had gone a bit off topic and these pictures would have been missed. Also, the last picture is of Ace Frehley who was in the taping that took place after Rush.

Thank you so much rbichamp. You have no idea how much you just made my day. smile.gif

 

I hope you don't mind, but I'm going to post these two pictures over in the Alex thread for his, shall we say, admirers.

There's nothing wrong with a little Lerxst lust!!

 

I, however, have a LOT. That's another story though. *wink*

Just so everyone knows, the person who posted these pix, we work at the same place (completely different dept. though so we don't see each other a whole lot!) He's a good guy and when he emailed me to say he was posting this on here, I wrote back asking what he said. He's pretty busy so there might not be an answer for a while wink.gif

 

I'll let you know of anything he tells me (or if I'm allowed to say!)

Yes it is true, I get to see that license plate in the parking lot. smile.gif

 

Below is a quick overview of the show for those interested. I think the Rush show might be episode #5 (according to the sheet pictured in the thread). Episode #1 airs November 15 and they approximate one new show each week. So I would guess this means it may not air until December at the earliest.

 

We didn't have to sign a nondisclosure to attend, but I would think that spoiling the episode could change how good natured everything was inside the studio. It will definitely be worth your time to watch since there are a lot of jokes.

 

Show summary

 

Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame related thoughts

Rock Band 2 appearance and exposure of the band to a new audience

Documenting of live performances on CD/DVD and the stage props

General talk about the future

 

Early days/Kiss tours

Recent tour rituals

Men to woman ratio in attendance at shows

 

Stump The Trunk trivia segment

 

Classic Rock magazine talk

Including Europe on recent tours

 

Whatever happened to... White Lion related segment

"Catfight" video throwdown segment Tawny Kitaen vs. Bobbie Brown

Eddie mentions S&A Live at closing and how unaired outtakes of the show will appear on vh1classic.com after airing.

 

It was a little unclear exactly what will be included in the broadcast and what would be an outtake.

 

I hope this answers some of the questions and I apologize if I am unable to provide additional insight. It was truly an amazing experience and I wish Eddie Trunk and co. the best of luck with this new show.

I wonder if it's difficult to interview a band like Rush who has such a long history. They have a bunch of new fans (their popularity has really risen this past year, it seems to me) so do interviewers feel the need to address certain subjects/issues (e.g., reasons why Neil doesn't do interviews, reasons why Neil travels separately) for the new fans? It's irritating and annoying to read and re-read the same info time and time again for fans who have followed the band for 30+ years.

 

Did Eddie ask them anything about solo projects, are they in the studio right now, are they on a "break" or are they in constant talks about new developments, how come no one updates the official web site on a regular basis, why episode #4 of the Barbies hasn't been taped yet, what are they going to have on stage next, are they really going to do a B-sides tour... man, let me interview the guys!

see, you should have did the interview biggrin.gif . i think what gets me is that if you have ever listened to his radio show in n.y or on x-m he is always saying how people don't know how to interview artists and they ask the same questions. that is what he did . so, eh, where is the new d.v.d shot? they should have let the audience ask the questions. would have been a lot more informative

Men to woman ratio in attendance at shows

They didn't by chance happen to mention a certain female going a little nuts in the front row from one of their recent shows, say, Saratoga?

I am dying to know how the guys answered the guys:girls ratio.

 

I bet they're thrilled but probably thinking, "Now!? Now we get the women. At 55. Awesome?"
