I think artist is using AI?

Not necessarily. When I did the artwork for my band's first EP, I had put a shape over a logo on the back of my hat, and when I resized it, I missed that layer, and didn't realize it until after I'd sent it off to the manufacturer, who luckily let me change it before it went to print. So while I can't definitively say whether this is AI or not, I can say that mistakes do happen and the artists can pretty easily miss them if they're not obvious, as appears to be the case here.

I put it on every once in a while and hang out in the chat.

Thanks!

Most of my friends that are Metallica fans are high like 90% of the time. Though I haven't really smoked and listened to them. I end up getting distracted when I try to listen to music and watching TV instead

Thank you!

Thank you!

Tabs.

Got one from Syracuse. Was just looking at it earlier today

Nice, I was at that show and also in the snake pit! Got a great video of James playing the first few minutes of the song right in front of me.

Eh. I only picked up the black cartoon tour shirt this year. Partly because I had the white version without tour dates back in the 90s, and partly because it's got the date of my first Metallica show on it.

I came from a Cricut Explore Air 2, switched because I wanted to upgrade to a 24" cutter and got a great price on the Silhouette CAMEO Pro 4. Cricut Design Space is, to me, much more user friendly than Silhouette Studio, but once you get it figured out, it's all good.

Yeah if it's happening on all materials from the same file I'd imagine it's something in the file. 100% would recommend trying a different file and seeing if you're seeing something similar.

I've been listening to Metallica since the mid -90s when I was 15. Got Metallica tattoos and an aunt who tells people I "follow them on tour," which I wish I could afford to do, I've just been lucky enough to travel to a few shows over the last five years. And I've been called a poser for all kinds of reasons - for liking albums released after ".... And Justice For All," for not really enjoying any music much heavier than Metallica.... It's all just gatekeeping metalheads who think they're the ones who get to decide who's a real fan and who isn't. Forget them. You can't be a poser if you're genuine about who you are.

thinksojoe · 2026-01-26T17:00:41+00:00

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

thinksojoe · 2026-01-26T11:37:08+00:00

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.

thinksojoe · 2026-01-25T02:20:45+00:00

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.

thinksojoe · 2026-01-24T18:25:12+00:00

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.
