Headbanger's Ball Memories



A bit of metal history salvaged from the Metal Inquisition video vault, freshly transfered from Beta tape for your viewing pleasure. Please note the dopey fans at the beginning. I think this video marks the last time that Kerry King's hair was seen anywhere.


It's also the last time he was seen looking like a normal human being, and not a wrestler...though he did have the sweet lines shaved in his facial hair. Listen to him call Alice In Chains "Alice". Enjoy.

  3. Riki Rachtman's wardrobe. Priceless. Fucking bandana, studded leather vest over studded jean jacket, fucking longsleeve flannel tied around the waist... what "fashion trend" didn't they cram into that ensemble?

  4. even before he cut his hair, Riki would always throw in some weird gangsta'/punk rock style. he was on Suicidal Tendencies' nuts for sure. That leather jacket with all the punk rock logos was particularly awful. i love the baby blue sleeves.
