The Rock n Roll Hall of Fame awards are out, and once again there is a distinct lack of metal on the list. This omission did not go unnoticed to Don Jamieson who calls it “The Hall Of Shame.” The host of VH1’s “That Metal Show” spoke with me about why he feels artists like Bon Jovi and Deep Purple never seem to make the Hall. He also spoke about AC/DC's new album, and the influence of John Lennon on metal music.

When Don’s not talking metal, he’s telling jokes. His albums “Live and Hilarious” debuted in the Billboard top ten and “Hell Bent For Laughter” is also climbing the charts.

You can see the Emmy award winning Don Jamieson live this weekend at Catch A Rising Star in the Princeton Hyatt.
