After a long hiatus, Georgia is BACK and she is joined by her son, Hunter as they discuss, Heavy Metal Parking Lot.
Heavy Metal Parking Lot is a 1986 documentary short produced by Jeff Kulik and John Heyn. The film features interviews with several small groups of young heavy metal fans gathered for a tailgate in the parking lot outside the Capital Centre in Landover, Maryland on May 31, 1986, as they prepare for a Judas Priest/Dokken concert being held there later that evening.
By the early 1990s, Heavy Metal Parking Lot had become an underground cult-classic, usually traded on bootleg VHS videotapes. It was reportedly a favorite on the Nirvana tour bus, among many other bands. Due to growing popularity of the film, music copyright issues arose between the producers and Judas Priest, though they were eventually resolved. The film has been referred to as the "Citizen Kane" of Wasted Teenage Metal.
