They probably aren't millionaires after all.
And mine came from a hole in the wall metal and punk record store run by a middle-aged OG with long, possibly unwashed hair who wears old, grungy band shirts with the sleeves crappily cut off. That was the first place I ever saw Songs About ****ing too. If I'd known that it was a legit record I would have picked it the **** up at 16, but you live and learn. The point is that I couldn't be more legit.

But the issue is, with so many of the Hot Topic ones around, how do you know if they're legit into the band? If I saw someone in a Maiden shirt I wouldn't feel compelled to strike up a conversation with them because chances are they've heard 1 or 2 albums, but if they're wearing a Bathory shirt? You bet I am.
