People mistaking the Opeth O for an S

[jaykeegan]

people often ask me whether is says "absinthe" on my shirt...

''absinthe''? what the fuck, some people must be rather stupid. I don't see how anyone can't make out what it sais, the ''O'' is round, you just have you use your common sense to sound it out.

I don't like being a walking, breathing advertisement for any band by wearing their logo shirts. It kinda makes me feel like a tool, no matter how good the band may be.

 

[Ermz]

^ Yeah I get the EXACT same feeling. Which is why I'm not too fond of the band shirts.

 

[estimate]

I think it's a great way to show your appreciation for the band, henceforth I have an Opeth t-shirt.

 

[ViCyniC]

I show my appreciation by buying their music.

 

[Biddinger]

I've had people think it said "Oprah".

*sigh*

 

[Demilich]

I say if a band i like has a shirt that looks good, I'll wear it. I'm not going to not do something cause it could be percieved as advertising for the band.

 

[jaykeegan]

I wear my Opeth shirts simply to just support the band, that & the fact that they just look damn cool.

Moonlapse: Don't you own a Still Life shirt?

People always come and ask me 'Hi, how do you do' and I try to ape that lame game and say 'Fucking die already'

Because self-image is a priority in your life eh? And you must find individualism at every corner? Buying an opeth or any other band's shirt gives the band money when purchased at their concerts. How is that being a tool? Showing appreciation to a band you truly enjoy by wearing their shirt is a very cool thing.

i doesn't look like an S.that's for sure.

 

[Shadows Skulk]

I've gotten Oprah twice.

I can't wait for the misinterpretations of my new old-school logo shirt.

"Ulcer??"

 

[ChrisEmerson]

lol

bunch of idiots some people are

as for wearing shirts: yes its an advert, but i want to advertise the band! i want everyone to see my shirt and think 'hmmm ill check that band out'

My iced earth shirt got misinterpreted once, someone asked 'whats "Ked Earth?"'

 

[asphyXy]

People have mistaken..

Iced Earth = Ked Earth, Red Earth, and Iced Death
ATG Slaughter of the Soul = Laughter of the Soul.
Slayer = Hayer
Darkthrone = Just some thunder clouds
Children of Bodom = Children of Sodomy

The skill of posting on old threads returns!!1

The people who have asked me about my Blackwater Park shirt haven't even attempted to try and comprehend what it says. They always just ask me "What does that say?" And then when i tell them they reply with "What?" as if i didn't say it properly the first time. Then when they ask me who or what Opeth is or are I tell them that they are a metal band, and they say "Oh..." or "Oh, ok..." which makes the whole conversation a waste of time anyway

 

[ScientistOfDarkness]

At the renaissance faire here, someone thought my Opeth shirt said "Bitch".

I like Radiohead, but most of their fans seem to be pseudo intellectual fanboys who think their music is superior to every other band...Then again that applies to most bands.

Sweet irony
