Lenny's just making up for lost time. It seems peculiar when some collectors who study military uniforms and insignia are then shocked or appalled when someone actually puts one on.I dont see any problem if people use them to wear and enjoy them as nice old things.
It's all in shock value. The "81" club started this in the late 50's, by becoming a 1% and the rest, the 99% would never figure it out. Now it is becoming like a worn out floor mat, the headbangers, rockers and vipers are all into it.
Makes me want to laugh.
It is the other 99% who are square and don't get it
On the original Motorhead cover I am sure there was a swazzie on the foerhead of the skull.
Any one remember this ?
Heya
perhaps you are thinking of the warpig on the back of the Iron Fist LP sleeve
in original and older pressings of the vinyl AND also some cds there is a small swastika engraved into the base of the first "spike" on the helmet on the warpig.
no
but I used to love that shop. I considered the warpig ring myself, it was always on show
my best friend just got his wedding ring custom made from there...
four grand's (UKsterling) worth of black diamonds on a skull!
can you post a pic of yours?
regards
jon
4 grand must be a hell of a ring
alas i no longer have my Warpig ring.
one cold winters day in Dunedin, NZ, back sometime between 1994 and 1998 (i was drinking alot back then its all a bit vague) I lost the ring
My finger must have shrunk as it was cold and the ring slipped off somewhere in town without me noticing
This is an original FJ jacket - was mint when I bought it. I wear it often because I love the cut and style of the jacket. It's without a doubt the best jacket I've ever owned. Even has an original factory sewn eagle!!!!!
This pic was taken at the Cord/Auburn/Duesenberg Museum in Auburn during an AMPS show in 08. When I got on the plane to leave, wearing the jacket, the flight attendant asked me if the huntin had been good.
Dave ,
Thats the one I was talking about , i knew I had seen it somewhere ......
Cammo ,
Thats the way to do it mate !!!!
Perfect use of a bit of old war stuff ......
owen
well we all have very different lives indeed and get to do some very fun things with the hobby .
Here is a image I did for the Call of Duty Black opps game coming out in November.
Its a image of a uniform in my collection , its a SOG outfit .
I helped style 70 different characters in the game as well as style this advert used to promote the game .
Whats this got to do with the SS ?
Well COD is a WW2 game , black opps takes place after WW2 .........you will have to guess the rest as I am sworn to keep me mouth shut .
So old Lemmy wearing war stuff can influence young minds who once played with that model STUKA bombing the crap out of the barbie next door !!!
101 ,
Thanks mate .
Kate Bush also Rocks !!!
Got to love her .
I think Lemmy is too busy doing rock things to hang on a forurm with stitch counters!!!!
