Bela Lugosi is dead.

 

[Dudeman1967]

Hard pass

 

[bsman]

I find the entire metal "aren't we dangerous" use of gothic/satanic/horror imagery tiresome . It hasn't been fresh since 1979 and seems so forced these days. Forked beards, devils-horns hand-signs, and the like make me sad.

 

[jelloman]

Is Hammett still playing?

...I had no idea...

I should know better than to open these threads. Yet, here I am.

 

[Modern Saint]

Good for Metallica Tributes and Hammett wannabees. Bad for 99% of the other players unless you want to repaint and customize.

 

[Tralfaz]

I'm waiting for the Bela Lugosi "Glen or Glenda" tribute guitar.

PULL THE STRINGS!

 

[Knox in Box]

Didn't find it all that terribly bad until I noticed the bat inlay. That was just one step too far.

I think everyone should do a GPOTD today.

Picked this out just for you.

Optimistically priced for quick sale

It's like watching a 60 year old doing the dab years after it ceased being cool for kids.

i only did one, because howie hasn't since the 15th.

 

[Tig]

You'll never keep it in tune.

 

[Aahzz]

It's a silly metal guitar. As those go, it's less offensive than many.

Depends on what offends you. The movie is named “White Zombie” because it’s about a white woman being turned into a zombie, a fate normally reserved for black men.

Actually, Hammett is a giant fan of classic horror movies as a completely separate hobby from being a metal guitarist.

Bela Lugosi is dead.

If he wasn't this would kill him.
