Synopsis: Heavy metal music aficionado Jim Powell takes filmmaker Jeff Krulik, of Heavy Metal Parking Lot fame, on a tour of his basement museum in suburban Maryland. Jim displays his extensive collection of heavy metal memorabilia and in a sit-down interview, offers an exhaustive discussion on the discography of the seminal heavy metal band Judas Priest. From the E1 Entertainment DVD release.

I ordered a TENSION CD from Jim Powell once. Great band and a wise purchase!

I noticed that he's got a WARDOG (which featured ex-Tension dude Tom Gattis) poster on the wall in his basement, too.

This was awesome!

Saw this last night on FB when FF posted it very cool, this little film was an extra on Heavy Metal Parking Lot DVD, which is a good thing since that original little film is only 15 minutes long

Yes that is him and I have no idea how you get hold of him try FB.

As much as I love Heavy Metal Parking Lot (growing up in Maryland at the time it plays like a straight serious documentary for me), I have to admit Heavy Metal Basement is my favorite thing on the dvd. That and them tracking down Zebraman.

Zebraman.He says all that punk smurf poo belongs up there on Mars and Madonna can go to hell.LOL

It cracks me up everytime the interviewer get's excited about a band or an albu mentioned, and Jim just sort of ignores him! He can't be bothered with what someone else thinks or likes!
