However, my friend couldn't remember exactly where it was and it had been at least 7 or more years since he'd last thought about it. Since his memory said the mural was sort of on the way back to our cars we headed in that direction... and after walking down a side street we came across a crazy cool mural painted on the side of a building!
It had various scenes of Mission and San Francisco life and seemed to date from 1980's S.F. since there were details like Joe Montana in his full Niners glory depicted... and near the end of the mural were these two dudes:
Heaven & Hell
Show No Mercy
To quote Slayer: "Trapped in purgatory... A lifeless object alive.." Of course, The Interwebs was able to reveal the story of this awesome mural. It was done in 1985 so it does date from the time of the original Old Metal Days of San Francisco! Amazing!!
