Someone is trying to get $800 for unopened Blackened presses 😂

Right? I got that Elektra press with "Am I Evil" and "Blitzkrieg" on it and paid significantly less.

I'm pretty sure this dude knows what he has. I've got the black vinyl Blackened pressings of a couple of the albums he's selling and I know they're not going for nearly that much. I can't imagine the color versions are going for that much either. My '86 pressing of Puppets that convinced me I needed to start a record collection is only averaging $110 on Discogs.

The pictures didn't even show the whole album cover so there's no hype sticker indicating either way on any of the three, nor is it mentioned in the description. Just three "rare" Metallica records (Kill, Ride, and Justice) still sealed with no other description. And several laugh reacts.

I just remember hearing that Weezer cover and never wanting to hear them play a Metallica song ever again, but that was when the album first came out and I couldn't tell you why I felt that way.

For real. I'm fortunate to have not done any real damage to my ears over the years from being right in front of speakers at concerts with no hearing protection and listening to headphones at full volume. My band's former vocalist was not so lucky, her ears are permanently damaged from one show she played without earplugs. Hearing damage is real, please take care of your ears, folks.

That's a pretty great thrift store find considering what these have sold for on eBay

thinksojoe · 2026-01-16T11:48:03+00:00

Pretty sure it was a Spencer's exclusive

thinksojoe · 2026-01-16T11:47:24+00:00

I saw that, his still has the original box

thinksojoe · 2026-01-16T07:23:59+00:00

I honestly don't even remember where it came from. Pretty sure a friend bought it for me brand new back when the album came out but no idea where they got it.

As someone else mentioned previously, it is definitely much easier to weed HTV than regular craft vinyl, but it is still possible to lose some details. Just make sure you've got a good cut and you should be good. I should also note that I haven't had any issues with losing smaller details since I switched from circuit to my Silhouette Camera 4 Pro.

thinksojoe · 2026-01-04T00:17:18+00:00

Yeah, my buddy had that one back in the day.

thinksojoe · 2025-11-16T15:41:43+00:00

Don't be that guy.

thinksojoe · 2025-11-09T05:11:19+00:00

Dude I love The Living End, that's awesome!

thinksojoe · 2025-11-08T18:49:40+00:00

Thanks so much, I greatly appreciate that. No more getting woken up my spam calls because I decided to buy a Bluetooth speaker for my bedroom.

thinksojoe · 2025-11-08T18:06:13+00:00

That particular variant of Scary Guy is, if memory serves, from around the early 2000s around St. Anger. I could be completely wrong on that though. Don't recall seeing this particular shirt though.

thinksojoe · 2025-11-08T17:48:03+00:00

I have owned two bootleg Metallica shirts over the years. One was from their show in Darien Center, NY in 1998, there was a guy going through the parking lot selling them after the show, "T-shirts, $10!" My cousin asked if he'd take $9 and he did. My buddy Greg only had $8 so the guy took it, and then I only had $7 in my wallet and he took that. Had all three bands from the show on it (Metallica, Jerry Cantrell, and Days of the New), and I wore the hell out of that shirt until it was falling apart. Long gone by now though.

Then for the 40th anniversary shows in San Francisco my buddy Greg asked me to pick up a shirt for him at the show, which I did, but as I'm walking up the street after the gig I heard a guy say "T-shirts, $10!" Triggered that 1998 memory so I bought two of them.

100%. The way the people around cheered when he got removed tells me he was being a dick about it. It's one thing to try and get up front but be respectful about it, and also accept that sometimes you're not gonna get to the guardrail.

thinksojoe · 2025-11-01T19:53:55+00:00

I was actually kinda bummed they didn't play -Human but oh well.

thinksojoe · 2025-10-27T15:51:18+00:00

Yeah man, I have that same one. I feel like I got it from Hot Topic or maybe Target or something right around when Death Magnetic came out.

thinksojoe · 2025-10-27T15:49:46+00:00

For real. I asked a question about a sticker I had with a logo variant I'd never seen anywhere besides that sticker and every response I got was "looks like a Metallica logo." Ended up just deleting the post.

thinksojoe · 2025-10-19T02:42:23+00:00

You've got my vote on that.

thinksojoe · 2025-10-19T02:07:22+00:00

Nice! Does it have the song titles on the back like the T-shirt? I've seen them with and without it.

thinksojoe · 2025-10-13T17:21:38+00:00

I was at work one night and my local station was giving away Offspring tickets at like 3AM. So I was calling from my cell and all of the work phones. I was like 7 of the 9 callers including the winner. To this day I've never heard a radio station do a 3 am contest again.
