Don Jamieson’s second comedy release is scheduled to drop on March 18th via Metal Blade. Once again Don has delivered some solid metal comedy. If you don’t know metal you probably won’t get most of the jokes, but if you are a longtime metal fan all will make sense and you will enjoy the bulk of this release. Those who have seen Don on That Metal Show will have a good idea of what to expect but unlike on cable Don just lets it fly.
Don Jamieson comments: “I’m really pumped to unleash my second stand-up comedy CD, ‘Hell Bent For Laughter,’on the masses. In this day and age of “fake outrage,” Metal Blade never asked me to tone it down or soften anything up. So I didn’t.”
With track names like “Halford, Ozzy and Kiss” and “Bad Dates, Dead Cats & Terrorist Ants” I think you get a general idea of what you are in for. You have to admire the guy. Doing metal comedy does tend to limit your audience and there’s only a handful of guys out there with the balls to stick to their guns and Jamieson is one of them. Recorded in December of 2013 in the same venue as his previous release I think it’s a warts and all honest representation of Don’s stand up act.
My favorite moment? Probably when he talks about wishing Storage Wars was on back in the eighties and someone bidding on the locker that GNR was living in.
