#just for everyone trying to make theories based on it

lil PSA post about Eddie’s ‘hanky code & cuffs’ theories but!

Eddies “hankerchief” is his black skull bandana. It’s probably not hanky code - and even if it was a regular bandana, metalheads have been tying them onto their belts or tucking them in their pockets to look cool for forever.
Jame’s Hetfield has one in his pocket a lot of the time! I see people at shows or events with them 24/7. They usually are just for sweat or looks : (

Same with the cuffs! They are right next to chainmail. If u look, a ton of metalheads also used to hook cuffs on their jackets or belts. It was both an FU thing to cops and just (mostly), Fashion. They looked cool. My coworkers from the 80′s said that I looked like the kids from their classes “with the handcuffs on their belts” (aka the metalheads from my area) from “back in the day” when I started working with them.
Nikki Sixx has some on in the Too Fast For Love cover! He def could pull them off to be kinky but. He prob has them only for dressing purposes.

BUT. If you want gay speculation (and this is a massive reach, b/c Rob had not come out yet) but. He has the massive Defender Of Faith poster from Judas Priest - who’s singer, Rob Halford, is gay. 
If you look through some old Judas songs, ones like Ram It Down (99% sure this was on his list), Jawbreaker, Grinder, and Raw Deal (later on) - Rob has said that they are about gay sex. So - Priest fan? Maybe he gets a few of those innuendos, and thats why that posters so big and right on his mirror.

BUT! Just remember when making gay speculations - 

This was considered straight & not gay (insert the crying emoji here). And this is literal BDSM wear.
I WISH YALL LUCK THO IM HERE WITH U. GAY EDDIE FOR THE WIN!
