I don't get it?? Are you sure these are Super Bands? (not the Saturn rings?) I have had these on my Metallica since I took it out of the box, and it has been to several shows and had tons of plays, and I just clean them and play some more have not seen any wear at all. That is over a year now with the same bands...I have them on every game I own, and have not had any issues with them? I'm not saying it isn't possible, but just haven't seen it on any of my games with Super Bands.
