Having laptops in 1992 shows how much money they had.

[@sudeth]

Wow I never thought of that

[@voxterh.6166]

Good catch

[@339blackdiamond]

it's a macintosh, used to go for around 1299 in 1993,which would be around 2600$ nowadays. Not that crazy for the biggest band of the world at the time. Touring their rigg around with all of those trucks must've cost 10x more EVERY NIGHT considering they also have to pay the truck drivers. a once 2600$ spending for a few years vs god knows how much in salary, gas, and renting shit for touring every. night.

[@jd0879]

@@339blackdiamond Disagree, the trucks and all the other expenses you named are a necessity and the norm in order to put on a good show but an expensive laptop is not. They could’ve cut costs by doing it on paper (Vast majority of business firms still used paper before converting to computers for 10-15 years after this). The Apple Macintosh PowerBook was $2,299 in 1991, converted to 2023 is $5,100. At 13:30 you can see they have 3 laptops so they’re clocking in over $15,000 minimum in just computers. $15,300 is an insane amount of money when they could’ve used paper instead for the fraction of the cost. Plus people weren’t as tech savvy then so there was potential costs of training people how to use it, etc. Having laptops is the indicator that Metallica was rich as it was optional, the trucks were a requirement.
