Also, I remember well a trip to Idaho to drop my sister off at ricks in 88' we were driving through yellowstone on the way back and I had And Justice For All in the walkman. my dad asked what I was listening to. I told him, he asked for the tape, stuck it into the Nissan minivan's tape deck. 3 seconds in Hetfield dropped an F-bomb and the pavement of yellowstone was the tapes new home. Funny, I kept the metal in me hidden for so long by washing my Iron Maiden/Motley Crew/Insert Devil band here shirts at a friends house and not putting them on until I was 3 blocks from home. No metal outfit was complete until you had your desert flap hat on with at least 20 pieces of flair on it.

Some distinct metal iconography from the 80s that I remember in jr high and HS: 1. Iron Mainden t shirts...anything with Eddie on it 2. One particular Accept t shirt...said "Balls to the Wall" and had a pic of a hand putting two round balls against a brick wall 3. Def Leppard sleeveless Union Jack t shirts 4. Hard core metal guys wore Ozzy t shirts...esp Diary of a Madman 5. metal chicks that would wear those Tonto leather moccasins that went about halfway up their calves. 6. metal chicks would also wear these skin tight jeans with this zipper that went all the way from front to back. hard to explain, impossible to forget 7. younger metal dudes (esp the skinny ones) would wear the parachute pants, always tight....lots of zippers. 8. sleeveless mesh shirts 9. A Krokus t shirt that said "If It's Too Loud" on one side, and "You're Too Old" on the other 10. Speaking of t shirts, a t shirt that said "Yngwie Who?" on one side, and "Yngwie F***ing Malmsteen" on the other....only the word was not edited. 11. Velcro wallets with band logos on them 12. denim jackets with patches, esp lined with faux lambs wool 13. brush in back pocket (not to be confused with the nerdy RUSH fans, who had the black plastic comb in back pocket, played Dungeons and Dragons at lunch, etc...) what else am I missing, children of the 80s?

I was never much of a t-shirt guy, but I did have a ton of pins on my cool Members Only jacket.
