T-Shirts I Have Known: Metal Up Your Ass

I like to use this photo to prove to people I was a Metallica fan before they became a monster band:

That's me at some random hotel in Waikiki on May 18, 1985, after my senior prom date ditched me. I outgrew this shirt in a year or two from when this was taken. Recently, an old classmate sent me this photo on Facebook, and I am guessing it was taken maybe a month later.

This was the first Metallica "Metal Up Your Ass" shirt before this one really took off:

I remember thinking the original was so scandalous. I would have been suspended if I had worn it to school. It seemed appropriate party gear after shedding the tuxedo.
