A Decade of Dominance: 20 Essential ’80s Metal Anthems with Don Jamieson of That Metal Show
Description
This week, I’m joined by comedian Don Jamieson — co-host of VH1 Classic’s That Metal Show — as we curate a 20-song playlist packed with our favorite ’80s metal anthems. From towering riffs to unapologetic excess, these are the songs that defined a decade when metal ruled loud, proud, and larger than life.
Along the way, we also talk about Don’s brand-new comedy album No Sleep ’Til McSorleys, its nod to Motörhead’s No Sleep ’Til Hammersmith, and how performing comedy changes when you’re touring with bands like Anvil or Hookers & Blow versus sharing the bill with another comedian like Andrew Dice Clay. And yes — there’s plenty more metal, laughs, and stories in between.
