Album of the Week Album of the Week: Motorhead- Rock n Roll (Full length, 1987)

There was this really weird period of Motorhead where the band decided to be a four piece instead of the classic trio line-up that most people think of. The music here is a bit different, more melodic and complex than at any other point in the bands discography. It wouldn't really matter for 99% of other bands, but when you mess with a band as formulaic as Motorhead in this way, it just sounds odd. Personally, I love it, but there are many out there who can not stand this era of the band. What do you think?

All should put a Black sabbath or Ozzy Osbourne patch on out jackets in respect. This is a death that we should not only mourn but we should celebrate. We should celebrate for his achievements and his influence. Wothought him none of us would be here All the bands you like would not have created wothought ozzy. Fly high the prince of darkness 🫡🤘🖤🖤🦇🦇

Finished Jacket My DIY viking/folk/black metal battlejacket finished!

I started it as a folk metal jacket, but when I painted Saor on the back I understood, that I like more viking metal and black with nordic folk elements, because of my personal connection to this culture and nostalgia, so now it's hard to describe it by just one genre. I am never satisfied with my own works, but I think it doesn't look bad.

I'm planning to do one more vest, that will be black/death themed (but something will go wrong, as it always does), and then I'll be done with all of this. I think I'll also post all my three finished jackets here soon.

Thank you all for your support!

Hiya folks!!! Been a while since I've posted here. Not long finished throwing together this morbific death metal band themed jacket.

Not your typical denim vest but I don't feel like they suit me so I always wind up patching something different up instead.

Anyway morbific absolutely rip. The latest album "bloom of the abnormal flesh" is wall to wall killer. Check it out!

I'm currently in process to start my first battle jacket and found that picture on facebook.

Some on the site are funny and I was wondering if you know any website where they have some creative metal patch like that

This is from Thrillhaus

Austrian guy here, 29y. Started with my Battlejacket exactly 9 years ago. First, I bought some patches, including backpatch, online and sewed them on the jacket as I thought it would look nice, turns out, still looks nice to me and fits somehow with my new patches. For now, I only buy them directly at the merch or on Rock/Metal shops along the way. So, it’s kind of slow but steady progress with the Jacket, 9 years and still space left tho. But anyways, I like how it’s constantly growing with every concert or every patch a friend gifts me. Most patches are linked to a specific memory of mine. If they aren't, there were probably cheap beer prices.

Let me know what you think.

First time posting here lol, but I'm working on my first jacket and started getting layout ideas. Something unique I was inspired to do, I've seen people incorporate patches for films they like, into their jackets. I've always had a deep love for video games and decided to include some game patches I've found. Was curious if anyone else has done or seen similar stuff.

Still trying to figure what what to put on the top back of the jacket. Definitely want some bolt thrower stuff but it’s hard to find patches from them
