That Metal District
with Jim Florentine
and Don Jamieson

That Metal Show’s Jim Florentine and Don Jamieson begin a three night stand TONIGHT (9/29) at DC’s shiny new Riot Act Comedy Theater and as such we’re spending this week at TVD getting Don and Jim on the record—on METAL records. 

We’ve got their Top Five Favorite Metal LPs on VINYL in a countdown that’s not too different from a That Metal Show Top Five List. 

And we’re not leaving you guys out of the loop either. We want to hear your Top Five Metal LPs on VINYL in the comments to all of Don and Jim’s posts this week and the one commenter who makes a solid case for his or her Top Five list will win a FREE PAIR OF TICKETS to see Don and Jim on a night of their choosing this week. 

It’s Day #4 which means we’ve got the guys’ #2 on their Top 5 List. (Which sounds sorta…distasteful.)

DON JAMIESON’S #2: Iron Maiden – “Killers”
The first Maiden album I ever bought. I didn’t even know who they were at the time. I just saw their mascot Eddie on the front cover with his axe and I knew I had to have it. Still my fave Maiden album to this day.

JIM FLORENTINE’S #2: AC/DC – “Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap”
My 2 older brothers turned me on to AC/DC when I was a teenager and of course I gravitated to songs like “Big Balls,” “Love At First Feel,” and “Problem Child.” I loved Bon Scott’s tongue-in-cheek lyrics and the hard rock sound coming from the rest of the band.

I would stare at the album cover for hours and wonder who would stay at a sleazy hotel like that. I guess I have come full circle because as I am writing this, I’m staying in a sleazier one right now!
