I was 12 years old when my friends parents took us to Monterey and I stumbled into a record store and saw the original Creeping Death EP on the wall. When I asked the guy behind the counter about it, he told me he had been apart of Metallica’s early years and was shocked to find I was a huge 80’s thrash fan (I mean it was the era of numetal and boy bands after all). So he told me to come back in a few hours. We came back to a copy he made for me of “No Life ‘Til Leather”, the Metallica demo tape and a spare copy of the ‘94 tape release of #MetalMassacre by @metalbladerecords. Thankfully my friends parents were huge into the glam rock scene in the 80’s so we got to listen to both tapes on the way back home to Redwood City. To be honest I thought these tapes were lost until my mom moved recently, and low and behold, they had just been deep in storage since 2007. #theyoungmetalattack #hitthelights #metallica #bayareathrash #metalbladerecords #nolifetilleather #metclub #metfamily #reunitedanditfeelssogood #cassettetapes #tapetrading #thrashmetal
