The Classic Metal Show just ripped the mask off Eddie Trunk’s massive ego trip and it is glorious. In this savage highlight, the guys tear apart Trunk’s delusional meltdown after mega-manager Doc McGhee canceled on him at the last second. Trunk actually convinced himself it’s because he’s “so scary talented” and “dangerous” that even Paul Stanley is making top-level managers run for cover. Yeah, right. CMS turns the audio into a full roast session, exposing how one radio host thinks he invented the entire metal industry and that his “voice” has the power to make KISS tremble.

This is pure, uncut Classic Metal Show attitude—laughing at the self-proclaimed king of metal radio while reminding everyone that real talk happens here, not in the corporate echo chamber.
