Re: Reissues and YCE
For $1600+, we were getting into Custom Shop pricing, and one of the Custom Shop options is a custom serial number stamped on the fretboard. It has long been rumored that one of Robbin's V's had such a serial - the 454 (RR 0454?) - same number as the engine model.
Anyways, yes I was speaking strictly in terms of publicity/sales/mainstream media attention garnered by RATT over Anthrax/Megadeth. Back in the glory days you had pinups in teeny bopper magazines of various hair banders, but most of these magazines faded away or switched to covering grunge exclusively. Not to mention they had to get the artist's permission to use their photos, and knowing Mustaine's attitude, I'm sure he declined to be featured in such girlie books.
Ergo, he would have a lesser public image than the 80's Hair Bands.
