Jasonic, your argument is invalid because the show promotes itself as being about "hard rock and heavy metal". Having a member of Alterbridge certainly fits that description.
It is always funny when people here bitch about Eddie Trunk, when really we are not his audience. His audience are mostly those who grew up with 70s and 80s hard rock and heavy metal and never really moved beyond that. While he does occasionally talk about newer bands, that isn't the focus of the show. I mean, look what channel its on, VH1 Classic.
The funny thing was when I used to be a subscriber of XM, his show was probably one of the best things on that station, because there was a good chance he'd play some tracks that the station would never play. Fact is, Da Boneyard really struggled to play new/deep tracks, and eventually they gave up on it entirely.
Personally, I think the show has gotten better since they've gone to the hour format and they've gotten rid of most of the stupid comedy bits. I wish there was more actual music in the show, rather than having guitarist (and now drummers) showing off going into the break. For that reason, I still think his radio show is superior, for what it is.
