A Decade of Dominance: 20 Essential ’80s Metal Anthems with Don Jamieson of That Metal Show

A Decade of Dominance: 20 Essential ’80s Metal Anthems with Don Jamieson of That Metal Show My Weekly Mixtape

This week I’m joined by comedian Don Jamieson,—co-host of That Rocks! and VH1 Classic’s That Metal Show—as we crank up the volume with a headbanging mixtape of our favorite ‘80s metal tracks. From hair metal to thrash, we’re revisiting the riffs, solos, and anthems that defined the decade.

We also dive into Don’s comedy album No Sleep ‘Til McSorleys—a title that pays tribute to Motörhead’s legendary No Sleep ‘Til Hammersmith—and discuss what it’s like bringing comedy to music crowds while touring with bands like Anvil, Hookers & Blow, and Andrew Dice Clay. It’s loud, funny, and all metal!
