This will either make you laugh or piss you off, so you’ve been warned.

Yesterday (July 25) marked the 35th anniversary of the release of Metallica’s debut album Kill ‘Em All.  Dave Mustaine, of course, was famously kicked out of the band before the album’s release, but not before helping co-write four of the album’s ten tracks.

However, to honor the album’s anniversary, Mustaine's son, Justis, posted the following photo to his Instagram with the caption, “A fan had this at one of the shows a few years ago, we had to bring it back with us!”



Light-hearted joke?  Bold statement? Decide that for yourself.  Either way, it sounds like Justis convinced a fan to literally give him the shirt of their back.  Hope that fan was at least compensated!
