Favorate band growing up
LOL How jacked up were you in that video!
I found my old jacket now where is that ripped up flannel shirt at?
The back of my denim was hand painted (remember those from the 80s?), with a screaming skull on the left, a big Black Sabbath cross in the middle with a hand bursting out of it doing the devil's horns thing. Very cool. Once it got too dirty and smelly to wear any more, we had a little ceremony and burned it. Sad, kinda of. My brother still has his leather with Suicidal Tendencies painted on the back.

Good eye! Now, what pins are on the pocket of that jacket?
I always followed that rule about not wearing the band's shirt that you're going to see... So I'd wear Venom to see Metallica, Motorhead to see Venom, Metallica to see Motorhead, Manowar to see Megadeth, Megadeth to see Suicidal, Suicidal to see Bad Brains, etc, etc...
Man I wish I could have seen all those thrash shows back in the mid 80's...
There was a club here on LI where all the "big names" at the time played, I got to see pretty much everybody. The "huge names" would play that club under assumed names. I was there one night when there was like 15 people in the club and Metallica (playing as Creeping Death) hit the stage. Pretty damn awesome. Off the top of my head, I remember seeing in that club:
Judas Priest (Halford rode his bike out onto the stage)
Megadeth
DRI
Sick Of It All
Manowar (like 50 times)
Motorhead (5 or 6 times)
Crumbsuckers (more times that I can remember)
Biohazard
Metallica (as Creeping Death)
Winger (heard they were shooting a video and thought there'd be hot girls there)
Alice Cooper
SOD
MOD
Anthrax
Venom
Slayer
Testament
Helloween
King Diamond
Mercyful Fate
Suicidal Tendencies
Cyco Mico
Exodus
Nuclear Assault
Pro-Pain
Metal Church
Gothic Slam
Celtric Frost
Agnostic Front
Voi Void
Lita Ford (hot, hot, hot!)
Flotsam and Jetsam
Cro-Mags
Plus a whole load of lesser known bands that didn't last long.
