The Mags mixing it up with the metal world


John Joseph with Scott Ian of Anthrax

While scouring the internet I came across these two stellar non-live shots that for whatever reason, I just thought were incredible. Maybe it's because you know that when both of these photos were taken, the Cro-Mags were clearly at the top of their game, as were Anthrax and Metallica. Both JJ and Harley look like they are about as happy as they've ever been. On top of all of that, I'm a sucker for good shirts and JJ's busting what could be considered the best Bad Brains shirt ever, while Harley's arguably busting the greatest Cro-Mags shirt ever. All hail the Mags. -Tim DCXX



Harley Flanagan with James Hetfield of Metallica

  2. There can never be enough Mags. I remember seeing pics of Cro Mags in the studio and you could see Harleys Swastika. Those pics were sweet.

  3. 24/7 Cro-Mags is 25% too little.

  5. that gbh shirt is better than all the other shirts together (i'm only saying that because i already have that mags shirt). that being said: there can never be enough cro-mags!
