thing is they are still selling these shirts, they're everywhere, they are certainly not tour shirts
idunnolol Let me check the year on it.
Crap, its faded.
The one like it now has the Kill Em All on the front and the dude on the electric chair on the back.
This one is the opposite. Its not truly a misprint, but its weird to have something Ride The Lightning related on a Kill Em All shirt.

if it's this one then it's bootleg and not from 83 for sure, even if it's a misprint. this shirt was never around until far past 83, like 85-89 maybe. earliest I can find is 1999
beyond that slashfan's story can't be true because album art for albums are always done after the album itself is finished, not WAY before. RTL was recorded in winter 84 and not even released until the summer of said year. it's just not possible.

THIS is the kill em all tour tshirt
Also remember that the guy in the electric chair isn't even the real cover of RTL

side note I bought a souls of black testament shirt with the 2008 tour dates for $12
No, RTL's on the front, KEA is on the back. As fake as what I said sounds, it's not. I've seen the sh*t he owns.
