The look of a disenchanted neapolitan violinist is the thread that connects the nodes of its existence. The magic of Budapest as a backdrop to the sinking of his illusions; yet it is precisely the ability to react to any defeat will make him a kind of skillful surfer; able to ride the waves most impressive. In this eternal resume lies; perhaps; the harmony that governs his life.

Great PerspectiveBy Crescent Design; IncI am an avid That Metal Show viewer so it only made sense for me to purchase this book.First; let me start by saying that the price of this book is a steal for what you get inside. With all of the color pictures and thickness of the pages; this book is worth more than I paid for it. Then to add the content of the book; along with the experiences of Eddys life with these bands; it makes this book priceless to me.If you are a die hard Hard Rock and Heavy Metal lover then this book is must have item. I do have to agree with some of the other reviews that with Eddys knowledge there could more in depth information in this but then again it is his first book; so maybe that means that he will write another one down the road; we has fans can only hope so.Thank you Eddy for all your hard work and your extreme knowledge of the Rock N Roll industry!\M/0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Being an Alice Cooper fanBy Raven ShaddockSince I reviewed Volume Two I figure I might as well go back review Volume One. Host of That Metal Show on VH1 Classic; NYC Radio and Sirus/XM Eddie Trunk is the Hard Rock and Heavy Metal savant. Being a fan of "That Metal Show" on VH1 Classic is how I got introduced to Eddie Trunk. Not all bands he likes are my favorites but life would be boring if everyone liked the same music. Eddie is a big UFO; KISS and RUSH fan. When he put this book out he tried to list as many bands as he could w/ limited pages. He gives my favorite Alice Cooper a good number of pages. He starts off admitting he didnt know much of Alices music but as the article goes on he comes to realize the work Alice Cooper put out from music to theatrics that influenced a number of Hard Rock and Heavy Metal bands.If you enjoy watching "That Metal Show" this book is just an extension of the TV series. A lot of the bands in this book are the ones that are talked about on VH1 Classic. Eddie discusses 35 bands in limited detail. This isnt an extensive background on these bands but it gives you some ground work and if you are interested maybe itll give you chance to listen to some of these bands. Eddie list 35 bands mostly the staple ones besides Alice Cooper like AC/DC; Aerosmith; Black Sabbath; Deep Purple; Kiss; Judas Priest; Motley Crue; Rush; Led Zeppelin; Van Halen to name a few. There is an ending chapter titled "More Essentials" which Eddie covers a few more bands in a paragraph or 2.Also good to point out the many rare photos taken from Eddies friend Ron Akiyama. Forward by Judas Priest Rob Halford.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Diamond in the roughBy Debbie Ramsey-HanksA tremendous wealth of information from an industry respected and fan respected trusted biographer. You can hear the music as you read each word . Trunk puts us on stage and backstage with the roadies. He writes about the riffs that led to the breakups without salaciousness. As a preteen I worked at a Community Center as a concession stand girl . Everything was free and the local bands did a great job covering what was underground and on FM radio.It was music you could feel . It transported you to the ecclesiastica andl to the guttural sounds of the underworld. Since he was a teenager he has not only gone to the concerts he knows them and has been instrumental in being a peacemaker if only for Cancer and 911 concerts.
