 I nabbed the PBJ indigo houndstooth type 2 from the BiG sale. it's a nice contrast to my PBJ deep indigo type 2. don't know if i'd say it's dressier but it'll look good with darker denim. 160 ducats |

Over the past week and a half, I added 3 much needed pieces..... Thanks to the BiG sale, I got my first taste of Studio D'. As much as I'd like to don some of their denim, I'm loaded in that department. So, I grabbed a pair of chinos instead... >>>>>>> Scooter, what is the store BiG? |

Documenting the beginning of the end. Well, that was their last good album IMO. It was fun when it came out. I'd like a making of this, 2 years earlier (1984) and is still good. A timeless classic.  |

Master of Puppets is definitely their best, but I liked everything up to the Black album. after that they really started to go downhill.

Never cared for them and their dumb stance on Napster just finished them off for me.

Never cared for them and their dumb stance on Napster just finished them off for me. i'm on the fence about the Napster thing. I think when Lars came out against Napster it came off as a dick move, but he/they were trying to protect their intellectual property. they also came out and said that it served to protect those new/unknown bands just starting out who aren't making much money. it isn't fair to struggling bands to have their music illegally downloaded, and the same should hold true for big bands who earn millions of dollars. with that said, the music landscape has changed dramatically in the last 10 yrs or so. Bands like Radiohead and NIN were a few of those bands that either encouraged downloading or were proponents of the pay-what-you-want model. I think it was more about giving people access to music that otherwise couldn't afford to go out and drop a mint on new records every week. I see filesharing as a good marketing tool for new bands to get their names out there. I used to be an avid record collector until the '08 crash. Back then I easily spent $200-300/month on new music, but the flipside to that was I got saddled with a lot of crap. I'd read an article about a new band and the hype surrounding them and take a chance. but, I ended up being disappointed in a lot of albums that ended up being 1 good song and 9 crappy ones. so I then downloaded stuff and if I liked something enough i'd buy it. |

My ex BiL was in a band. They had a multi platinum album and were on a major label with a good relationship. They made something like $100k from that album. He said 99% of the money they made was from touring and merch sales and that album sales were effectively meaningless and only paid the label.
I think Lars was just being a corporate shill when he made an ass of himself over Napster. The little guys didn't give a poo either way.

I thought And Justice For All was great also. Celtic Frost is a band I need to explore more. I have one album. Not sure which one. |

Bands have to pay back all the expenses of recording and marketing an album before they see much or any money. Unfortunately the money gets thrown around too easily, big budget videos etc. It become difficult to pay back. I will stand by Lars as illegal downloading is just that illegal. It gave us the terrible mess the music biz is in financially and musically. Musicians are hurting more than ever. Yes there are exceptions but as a percentage more are worse off compared to 15 years ago. I talk to them every day. If your BIL's band didn't have that multi platinum album they probably wouldn't have been touring in front of as many people or at all and selling all that merch. |

Hehe, they were around for twenty years before that and produced most of their own albums and even videos. I can't recall if they were part of Columbia for the first Lollapalooza or not, but I think you could argue that they (BHS) weren't a product of their benevolent label. For me personally, I never used Napster, but the general movement of opening up singles and smaller formats to the masses sure introduced me to a lot more bands, many of whom I made an effort to see. I use Spotify now, but still have 40k legally obtained songs in iTunes and make an effort to see current bands when ever possible. |

Electric Larryland was one of my faves back in the 90's, and Jesus Built My Hotrod with Gibby Haynes |

It's a weak claim to fame, ex BiL. But yeah, got to be the annoying little brother at a lot of good shows. Even had the bizarre experience of seeing my grandmother hang out backstage with Eddie Vedder.

Hope it fits, not a bad looking jacket. Their stuff is hit and miss for me in terms of styling, but they offer some really interesting denim- not like anything else I've seen. They use traditional dyes and some pretty old school machinery for the construction. Worth checking out if it's your thing!  |
