I remember Eddie Trunk said Richie played him about 8 tracks from RSO on a CD in his car and they were all excellent heavier rock tracks but none made the album.

Did he say this at the time or in hindsight? I listen to him semi-regularly, but I only remember him complementing those songs while interviewing Richie at the time.
Eddie is as much of a relationship manager as he is a critic. He prides himself in telling it "like it is", but he's not going to insult his interviewees to their faces. I don't blame him - that's part of his job and he probably learned from burning a few bridges earlier in his career (e.g. Paul Stanley, Ozzy Osbourne, Rob Halford etc.). Nowadays, whenever he interviews someone who just put a new song out, he almost always says how "it sounds great", etc.
