Thoughtful Gift for 80's metallers?
Just had my wedding a couple of days ago and the band that played the reception really made the night for us (alond with the guests of course!)
They are two guys I work with and are in a mock 80's metal band (Snakes of Desire!)
They took no fee for playing and yet the other 3 members of the band travelled quite a distance to get here. I know they will refuse money so am trying to think of something they might really appreciate being part time musicians / fans of 80's cock rock.

Not exactly metal but.... a ZZtop Keychain?. It just looks 80's

Price range, I'd go up to $100 max per person. Action figures look cool, cheers.

How about a nice set of varied 80's heavy metal wigs? One black, one blond, one brown? Nothing sells a face-peeling guitar solo like an impressive, hairsprayed mane.

My Secret Quonsar got me the Heavy Metal Funtime Activity Book. I've since bought several copies for other people as gifts and it's universally loved.

A gift certificate to a local tattoo/piercing parlor? One could have some rather interesting body enhancements for 50-100 dollars.

Thanks for all the ideas, was out shopping today and saw some album cover frames, might get some classic vinyl and frame them... or try design a fake cover for them.
Love that heavy metal funtime book!

For ~50 bucks apiece, you can't go wrong with fully-articulated 12" Spinal Tap action figures.
