More Heavy Metal Painted Jean Jacket





Because I have been getting a lot of great feedback on the other day's Heavy Metal Painted Jean Jacket blog, I thought I'd provide you with additional viewpoints since a picture of a picture speaks 1,000 words to the 1,000th power. And look, chicks dig them too!

The Classic: Painted Jean Jacket

Do you long for the days of yore when many a metal head sported the infamous painted jean jacket? Well, you may be in luck. The young lads above and I had a half-drunken brainstorm that we would bring that kind of sexyback to the masses -- utilizing the unbelievable skill and talent of Nelson DeCastro, the artist of this, the Metallica "Ride the Lightning" jean jacket painted in 1985. Twenty-two+ years later and the paint is still glowing strong!

A renewed trend the kids don't even yet know that they need...or one that should remain in the decade of Reagan? You make the call...I'm taking orders (soon).
