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

Response by poster: 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.

Best answer: 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.

Response by poster: 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.
