Happy National Metal Day!

Last year, Vh1 Classic declared November 11 as National Metal Day. While Macy's isn't running any special sales on towels to commemorate the event, we can have our own party and rock out to some great jams. Of course, you could always tune in to Vh1 Classic and see what they have cooked up for the day... after all, they did declare the holiday.

That Metal Show will reflect on 11 seasons with "That Metal Special." The special premieres at 8 p.m. - check your local listing. After That Metal Show you can watch Judas Priest at the US Festival in 1983. Then Vh1 Classic will re-air the documentary Iron Maiden: Flight 666 (in which you can see our own Christian right at the barrier in one of the shots).

Personally, I think I'll spend the day listening to a mix of my favorite old and new metal acts. The best part of National Metal Day? No gifts!
