New York based DJ Eddie Trunk will be co-hosting a new show on VH1 Classic called That Metal Show which premiers November 15th. He just announced yesterday via his blog that 2 of featured guests this season will be Alex Lifeson and Geddy Lee:

... Shot two more episodes of my upcoming new VH1 Classic TV show "That Metal Show" yesterday. ... I am so happy with how things are going with this show and have my good friends Jim Florentine and Don Jamieson as co-hosts. The ball busting that goes on is awesome and many in the audience and crew at the tapings so far say they have never seen a show like this before. Even those not into metal seem to be loving it. I've been working on developing this for almost two years, and now that it's real and we are close to debuting the first show, it's really getting exciting! And if all that weren't enough I just scored two HUGE guests for the final two shows of season 1. I am so proud to say that we will be doing a show with my good friend Ace Frehley, and I am honored to say that Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson of Rush will be coming in from Canada just to do the show! I've had the privledge of working with the Rush guys several times, and I can not thank them enough for making the effort to do the show. Needless to say this will be a HUGE one. Sorry to say that the slots for the in studio audience are SOLD OUT, but you will see all the action when the shows air. The premiere/pilot episode of That Metal Show airs 11/15 at 11PM ET/PT and will repeat several times through the week on VH1 Classic. A new episode every week after on Saturday nights at 11PM. It's 30 minutes and been called "The View" for rockers. More details soon. ...

I few years back Eddie used to host an interview show on VH1 Classic called Hangin' With where he had interviewed both Alex and Geddy and also Neil on a separate occasion. You can watch the Hangin' With where Geddy and Alex where interviewed at this link. Thanks to Sean for the heads up.
