T Shirt Comments

[Olllie]

When i'm wearing my Opeth tshirt it always seems to provoke public comments. For example I was at college and some random guy was like "dude, you like Opeth? They are great!" and today in a random phone shop the woman working there said "Hey I see you like Opeth. I think they are really cool!" Does anyone else experience this phenomenon when wearing your Opeth shirts? It has never happened with any other band.

Dont think people seeing me know my shirt. Never happened..

I'm sure more and more people are gonna be commenting on them now that they have ever-increasing exposure! Maybe less people will come up to us with those "HEY, I LOVE OPRAH TOO! ISN'T SHE GREAT?!" comments

 

[Master_Debater]

I got a lot of that

 

[Servo]

That would be nice to have happen at somewhere other than an Opeth or Porcupine Tree show, heh

 

[the_drip]

I usually always got the comment, "Oprth? what's Operth stand for? .....ohhh, that's an E? I thought it was an R....duhh, I'm a fuckin dipshit."

Unfortunately Opeth doesn't sell a shirt that fits me (XXL). I plan to start a serious exercise/diet program as soon as I'm over my current illness in the hopes that I can fit an XL. Wish me luck .

I've had that a few times. Never had anyone who knows of 'em outside of a metal bar or gig mention anything about my Opeth shirts though

Used to get loads of comments when I'd wear a Maiden shirt though.

I have, but even though their ever growing exposure may have something to do with it, i reckon its because Opeth is such a personal band to people who like them.

I get it a lot sometimes, it's cool to talk to other fans and such as well. Then there's always the people that think it says "oprah"

In a college town like Santa Cruz I get at least one comment a day if I am wearing an Opeth shirt by someone else who is into the band. I ussually see one other person per week wearing an Opeth shirt too. However, if I go back to my hometown I get the ol' "thats a funny way of writing oprah, why do you like her so much?" comments. The adventures never end.

Are you serious?

How illiterate would you have to be to make that mistake?

i'm very serious, it fucking pisses me off, as if the gothic style writing isn't enough to send the message "no.... this isn't oprah"

 

[Chasing Time]

"What's that say?"

That's about all I get.

 

[Master_Debater]

Hell, I got a comment for my Bloodbath shirt.

 

[Spawnof84]

I never got any comments about my metal shirts but i do get looks of disgust when i wear my Bloodbath shirt.

 

[amaranth]

I don't have an Opeth shirt, they are all too big, well, the only ones I have seen since I haven't seen many.

I think it's nice when you get a comment about any band shirt that you might be wearing. I have a perfect circle shirt that has got a few comments, it's a nice way to start a conversation with strangers.......

I study computer engineering at a religious jewish university(i'm not religious and it's a good univresity). from the 400 people stdying engineering I know about 4 guys and one girl who like Metal and only one of them heard about opeth.Generally when I don't
talk about studies I talk about music and it's pretty hard to talk with people about music when you don't listen to similar stuff.
so one day I'm on my way home and I see a guy with an opeth shirt and I said to him "Nice shirt" one thing lead to another and we became friends. that was about 2 years ago.

Hell, I got a comment for my Bloodbath shirt.

Never met anyone who has the slightest clue about 'em.

Spawnof84: is it the RTC, or Suck My Guts shirt?

 

[Squeak]

I get that a LOT with most all the shirts I wear. And I am one of those people who will walk up to someone on the street or at the store (where metalheads normally aren't out in droves) and talk to them about the shirt/band, etc. I've met a lot of friends that way.

@Zortz - Opeth DOES make shirts your size. Go to Hot Topic at Oakridge Mall or Valleyfair and they have BWP shirts in XXL... I had to buy three of them for friends. They also make the Still Life one in XXL, but you have to go to LA to get it.
