METALLICA Metal Up Your Ass Tee

Before the black album, before the haircuts, before Lars discovered Napster, there was a cassette called No Life 'Til Leather being dubbed in Californian bedrooms and mailed to strangers. Metal Up Your Ass was the original title of Kill 'Em All, rejected by their label for obvious reasons, kept alive by fans for equally obvious ones.

Wearing this is a specific kind of allegiance. Not to the stadium, not to the documentary, but to the version of Metallica that was angry and fast and genuinely threatening to people who probably deserved it. A cornerstone of any honest heavy metal or alternative fashion collection, and a piece of punk history that doesn't need any further justification.
