That's the one! Nice finding this post... the detail photos are great, showing what an improvement they made over the first version of it built for the movie "White Tiger"... but you can't fix everything

The story I remember was that they didn't get it done in time, and the T10M you see in the movie was a last minute stand-in.

FZ's take on things was not only unique & timely, but he walked the walk; he was the most effective speaker against the PMRC in Congress back when they were trying to censor music... I wish we could all hear what he'd have to say today!

IIRC yes he handled the PMRC but ya also can't forget Dee Snider for intelligent shock value they never expected.

Yes, Dee Snider really stepped up to the plate too & hit it out of the park

The result of all that hoopla - the "Parental Advisory: Explicit Lyrics" warning sticker - quickly became a badge of honor for artists to have on their albums!

His musical knowledge and "acrobatics" were nothing short of astounding, often using many different styles in the same song.

Thanks for posting those video clips, Chef... it's easy to let our rights & freedoms get trampled when the idiots in charge are trying to legislate morality!

Good Morning,
We as Individuals need to Group Together and use our Unified Voice and Actions to save ourselves from the Things (worse than any Movie Monster or Demonic Evil) that are currently awry with the World. America, Britain, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Poland, All of Us are under the Threat of A.I., Stupid Minded Politicians running Cults to become Dear Leader types, Oligarchs wanting to starve 90% of Humanity out of Existence, Global Warming, etc... I apologize to post such but current Events are worrisome beyond belief. I talk to you guys about Tanks and Armor because that is what this Group is for. It serves another purpose as well, letting us know that each other is out there and ready to Say Something when idiocy and banal evil try to trip us up in the Human Race. We may not be a Frank Zappa or Jeremy Clarkson but if enough voices are saying the same thing, we can be just as powerful in making a point.
regards,
Painless

Well said.

Let’s not let this get to political discussion or interpretation.
We all have points of view on this but let’s leave it for other places.
