Who the hell Is Eddie Trunk?

[Thematt202]

And why am I being Twitter-Spammed with messages from him and about him?  I'm seriously thinking of unfollowing MP over this...

[BlobVanDam]

How on earth are you following MP on Twitter and honestly have no idea why Eddie Trunk is? MP has been on his show discussing DT more times than I would care to count.

[Knguro]

Caugh caugh*** fat bastard*** caugh caugh sniff sniff Ohhh yeah a radio guy.

I've heard of people complaining about MP's amount of tweeting (I don't use Twitter at all), but I just looked and holy hell, that is a lot

EDIT: Man, MP is the master of ambiguous wording. "Founding Drummer of Dream Theater as well as AMOB, A7X, TA, MMPLM, LTE, OSI, HAIL, YMC, HOTG, C&TSM, AJ" can be parsed in a very different way than he meant!

There is that 140 character limit. Perhaps he ran out of room for specifics.

Follow Zeltar on Twitter.  MP's tweet frequency will feel like once a week.

Maybe in his head he was the founder of Avenged Sevenfold.

Also, what are the last three on there?

Hammer of the Gods, Cygnus & The Sea Monsters, and Amazing Journey.

Portnoy and Trunk have been friends for quite a while.

Hammer of the Gods (Led Zep tribute), Cygnus & The Sea Monsters (Rush), Amazing Journey (The Who)

I unfollowed him a couple months ago. It was just too much.

That's... an interesting observation. I think we know what he meant, but that's not fantastic wording.

Don't really follow Trunk, but I lost a lot of respect when he leaked that MM was the new drummer. Said he didn't know it was a secret, which I call BS on.

As far as twitter goes, JLB actually responds to individual comments on occasion, which I give him huge props for. Nice to follow JR, who has lots of cool stuff on there.

Same... right after the first 700 tweets about "OMFG Adrenaline MOB is [insert random shit here]" from him I was like fuck this and unfollowed him.

[Zook]

Founding drummer? Oh dear.

Don't have much of a problem with him RTing those, but some of those comments were just completely out of nowhere. Girls in the 60s would not have tweeted that high of praise at the Beatles.

Same here.  Much like with Portnoy I respected all of his musical knowledge but it really turned into the *I* *I* *I* show.  When he leaked MM I had enough of him.

Me too. And ET for leaking that the new drummer was MM. Also got tired of hearing about his book. My twitter account has been a much more calm and pleasant place since.

[DarkLord_Lalinc]

for some reason I really really dislike Trunk.

[emindead]

for some reason I really really dislike Trunk.

That's because he didn't act like a real music journalist in the whole MP leaving DT affair.
