What Band Tees Do You Own?

Twilightning

I don't think there's ever been a topic related to these before so I'll take a stab at it. How many band shirts do you own, and what ones are they? Do you like some over others? Ashamed you have a particular one? :P

I have a fair few, and they seem to be all I wear as far as shirts are concerned. :P Although I've noticed a few guys on the forum here mention they never wear anything that could distinctly tie them to metal of any kind!

3 Sonata Arctica ones
2 Stratovarius ones
2 Blind Guardian ones
1 Anthrax one
1 Nightwish one

There's more than I'm forgetting, I'll get them up there later!

Is there a femme metal store? Epica & LC t-shirts were bought at their respective gigs.

Not quite a grand. However I have spent close to 2 grand on Nightwish merch. I'm such a sucker.

My bf has loads of Slayer t-shirts, but one of them was printed arseways so it would only look decent on someone with one arm. They have aged pretty well though!

Otis Driftwood

1 - Slayer.
1 - Metallica.
1 - Nile hoody.

I havnt bought a band t-shirt in frickin years though and as Bollocko said,the Slayer one is still in great condition after approx 10 years ownership.

A number of years ago (13+) I had some awesome Cannibal Corpse and Cradle Of Filth long sleeves and tees from Blue Grape.

I had 3 CC ones,all with cover art from Eaten Back to Life,The Bleeding and Butchered at Birth.Man I wore them to death.

Arf Arf.

Malice

Have all of you people listing numbers of t-shirts actually gone through your wardrobe, grouping them according to band/artist? Far too much effort for me!

I have a couple of drawers with a lot of band t-shirts stuffed into them. The top layer is stuff I wear most often with the layer at the bottom being shirts that are either too small, too battered or not worth wearing for some other reason e.g. if the print has come off or faded too much to be legible.

Risteard

Pantera (Don't mess with me t-shirt)
Slayer (Giant Eagle type)
Metallica (Master of Puppets)
Evile (ETG shirt)

Ones I don't wear anymore:

Trivium x2 (Ascendacy and Blue Angel)
Bullet For My Valentine (Hand of Blood)
Deicide (Scars of the Crucifix)

Didn't actually realise I had that many altogether.

I had tour shirts from the 90's, but I brought them to Milton Keynes in 1998 for Ozzfest, and they were promptly stolen from my tent. In fact the tent was stolen too, AND a whole chicken I was looking forward to eating for my tea that day.
