![]() To me, it was just a vehicle to share the music I loved with more people. What spawned your interest in radio? When did you know it was something you wanted to do?Įddie: It wasn’t about being known as a broadcaster or anything. I’m from Long Island, and I remember listening to you on Q103.4. ![]() We don’t always agree but it’s fun to debate and dissect Rock and interview so many artists, many of who have become friends along the way.Īndrew: You’ve had a long career in radio. It’s been a hell of a ride that I still enjoy very much and I’ve built an amazing audience. I literally started out of high school and now, at 56, I’m still doing it more than ever. Because I’ve stayed true to my vision and control over what I say and play, and that’s very rare. I just started my 38 th year in radio and I’m very proud of that. And through working in radio right out of high school, working in a record store, working for a record company, then a management company, then TV, I’ve gained tons of experience and a following. I was consumed with Rock and sharing it with others and seeing it being treated with respect. Shortly after that, I discovered KISS, then Aerosmith, and it just went from there. What was your musical gateway, so to speak?Įddie: Hearing “Go All The Way” by The Raspberries on NYC AM radio in the backseat of my parent’s car when I was 10 was my first introduction to proper Rock. So I consider myself very fortunate in all this.Īndrew: Tell us about your backstory. I feel for the folks that live alone, in small apartments and have lost work. I’m lucky I have a decent size house and a small beach house I can get away to. I still generate 8 shows a week, 6 live for SiriusXM, so I am grateful I still have my primary job, and family for the most part has been safe and healthy. I’ve lost a ton of work like most people hosting shows and traveling, but I can’t complain since my main job in radio has held thankfully. This last year has been rough, right? How are you holding up during this seemingly ever-raging dumpster fire?Įddie: Doing fine all things considered. Cheers.Īndrew: Eddie, thank you for taking the time to speak with us. Lastly, don’t forget to check out Eddie’s show, Eddie Trunk Rocks via FM radio station Q104.3 (New York) as well as his other show, Trunk Nation via SirusXM radio – channel 106, and Eddie is also on the Hair Nation channel (channel 39) Monday’s only 5-8 PM ET. If you love Metal and Hard Rock, then this one is for you too. If you’re from NY or Long Island, you’ll enjoy this one. It’s not every day I get to discuss KISS and all things Hard Rock and Heavy Metal with a true dyed in the wool fan and member of the scene itself. Today I’ve got Eddie “with us” and I can say it was a true pleasure. I will always remember watching That Metal Show on VH1 Classic and taking notes as to which band I would research next. Without Eddie, my interest in Metal may not be as deep. Ever the historian, Eddie has both educated us on and championed the genre through his radio shows, television programs, and his interviews. Eddie has been a huge force within the Heavy Metal and Hard Rock scenes for over 35 years. I may not have gotten into bands like Led Zeppelin, The Who, Black Sabbath, and more without it.įor as long as I can remember, Eddie Trunk has been a part of Q104.3 as a host, mostly on Friday nights with his Eddie Trunk Rocks show. I’ve spent a lifetime with the station, and it really shaped my early musical fandom. ![]() I’ve been listening to Q104.3 for as long as I can remember.
