HEAVY METAL PARKING LOT is considered one of the greatest rock & roll movies of all time, although it’s actually a hilarious documentary tribute to rock & roll’s GREATEST FANS. Filmed in 1986 at a Maryland concert arena parking lot before a heavy metal show, HMPL is an unvarnished anthropological study of American metalheads in their mid-’80s glory. It is the quintessential ’80s magnum opus, made complete with a vast display of muscle cars, spandex, bleach-blonde frizzy perms, bare-chested dudes, Mullets From Hell, faded denim metal chicks, and the largest collection of late ’70s Camaros ever seen in one location. Virtually unknown to mainstream audiences for two decades, HMPL was a VHS bootleg favorite among musicians, movie stars and cult-video fanatics worldwide. This limited-edition DVD features a pristine digital-video transfer of the original uncut 16-minute documentary, plus over two hours of exclusive content! Extra content includes sequels, parking lot alumni interviews, karaoke subtitles, Dub-O-Vision and more. Viewer discretion: explicit language, drug references and loud music.
Extras include: Outtakes, Director Commentary, Cast Interviews, Music Videos, Scene Selections, Interactive Menus
Directed by Jeff Krulik

Whats the song of …
Whats the song of this priest song?
I’m just saying …
I’m just saying that in today’s very complicated music industry, there are still bands as prolific. In my opinion, Priest is a far better band than 90 percent of current metal bands. I’m just playing devil’s advocate. I’ll never be one of those “They don’t make em like that anymore” people.
Slipknot probably …
Slipknot probably has not sold nearly as many albums as Priest. And Metallica hails from that era. Kill ‘Em All was released in ’83 and they opened up for Ozzy in ’85 on the Ride the Lightning tour. That era was mammoth when it came to metal. The metal of today is pretty much part of the theater or larger festival circuit where it takes 100 bands to draw 20,000, not just one.
They had cooler …
They had cooler cars then what we got for daily drivers today!
Slipknot. Not that …
Slipknot. Not that I like them, but they’ve outsold most of the bands of the 80s. Metallica has a bigger following than that currently as well. Just giving examples.
what modern metal …
what modern metal band has a parking lot that big? the answer is zero. proof that everyone enjoyed some form of rock back then. not a wigger in sight.

“Where do I park?” “Anywhere you want.” Those were the days. Get about 20 cars full of your friends, beer, and music and see who has the loudest stereo.

NICE! Cap Center in Landover, MD…vintage 80′s/mullet culture. David Lee Roth, Steve Vai in 87 was awsome. Get this DVD, you might see one of your friends if you grew up in the area. I recognize the meat heads at 1:21…rock on Ryan and Micky!! is that Corey on the hood?

My mullet years gone bye, 80′s will forever be in my mind as I move forward to the unknown.
