BRIAN POSEHN - Sometimes we like to bring on a non-music guest (as long as they love metal, of course!) and Brian is a true metal maniac. Besides being a great comic, Brian had lots of cool stories about hanging with his metal idols and his memories of going to metal shows when he was growing up. Of course, my favorite part of the show was Kirk Windstein (Down, Crowbar, Kingdom Of Sorrow) paying the ultimate tribute to That Metal Show by getting our logo tattooed on his chest. But he didn't just get a tiny little thing, he was tattooed by legendary artist, Paul Booth who created a giant monster that took up all of Kirk's chest and popped the logo in it's gaping mouth. Kirk is a great musician, a great guy and has become a great friend. Had a great Throwdown at the end of the show over which of the Big Four of Thrash is the best!

KIP WINGER / REB BEACH OF WINGER - I'll be honest, when I heard these guys were booked, I was a little iffy on it. But I must say, this is one of my favorite shows that we've done so far. Kip and Reb talked Beavis & Butthead, their 80's image and videos and told hysterically funny tour stories. I also love this show because my Mom does a Stump The Trunk and Eddie tries to hit on her not knowing it was my Mom. Also in the show, the three of us surprised a super fan of the show and while he was at work, set up a mini version of our show in his living room. When he got home from work, there we were doing TMS just for him! Special thanks to Frank Bello for driving up to be our guest. We also did a Throwdown over who was the Best Rocker turned Reality Star...Bret Michaels vs. Ozzy!

JOE SATRIANI - We opened the show talking about super groups and what we think of them and then brought out guitar wizard, Joe Satriani. Besides his solo instrumental stuff, Joe is sort of in a super group himself, Chickenfoot. One of the most amazing things we discussed on the show was the fact that Joe gave guitar lessons to two other incredible guitarists...Kirk Hammett and Steve Vail! We did a Throwdown over who is the best thrash guitarist...Mustaine vs. Hammett!

SCRAP METAL - Our final episode is a collection of great stuff that didn't make the final cut from all the shows in Season Four. It's not like those crappy bonus tracks that some bands just tack on to re-releases so that they can soak their fans for more money. Oh no. Winger talks snake shit, Joe Lynn Turner tells a creepy story about Richie Blackmore and you get to see the final insult to Eddie Trunk as Kirk Windstein not only gets our logo tattooed on his chest, he gets the UFO tattoo that Eddie chickened out of!

Thanks everyone for the support. Can't wait for you to see Season Five beginning on May 8. As Pantera would say, It is NEW LEVEL!
