Now THIS is a kick ass way to meld your love of music and illustration! So Cool!
 

Guilty as charged
But damn it, it ain’t right
There’s someone else controlling me

Death in the air
Strapped in the electric chair
This can’t be happening to me

Who made you god to say,
“I’ll take your life from you?”

Flash before my eyes
Now it’s time to die
Burning in my brain
I can feel the flame

Wait for the sign
To flick the switch of death
It’s the beginning of the end

Sweat, chilling cold
As I watch death unfold
Consciousness my only friend

My fingers grip with fear
What am I doing here?

Flash before my eyes
Now it’s time to die
Burning in my brain
I can feel the flame

Someone help me
Oh please, god help me
They’re trying to take it all away
I don’t want to die

Time moving slow
The minutes seem like hours
The final curtain call I see

How true is this?
Just get it over with
If this is true, just let it be

Wakened by horrid scream
Freed from this frightening dream

Flash before my eyes
Now it’s time to die
Burning in my brain
I can feel the flame

My life is Tidal Wave
Printing needs are great
My love turned to James
Trapped far beyond my rate
I give
Blue wave
This lightning I forsake
Been seen at Expo booth
You turned this lie to truth

Napster
Misery
You've got biography

The obviously only appropriate thing to say is: "Enter Sandman!" (Mariano forever!)

LOVE This man!!! Not only is it hyper detailed and visually exciting in Mico's unique style but the subject matter is just awesome. Hetfield and his guitar and that pose are just iconic. Metallica's music will always be appreciated and referenced and influential for generations to come and also had a huge affect on me personally at various points in my life. And definately in the Top 5 concerts/live performances I've ever witnessed and that's coming from someone who has been to thousands of shows over the last few decades for work and pleasure alike. Amazing addition, Rick - congrats!

YES!  Hetfield rules!  It's like he's He-Man standing in front of Castle Grayskull but with a METAL bent!  Love the contrast Suayan renders between the figure and the background, too.  Congrats!
