What Band Shirts Do You Own?

[Diabolik]

Now, a serious question...

A lot of these "rare" shirts, more often than not are way too beat to be worn. Like, they're so faded, ripped, holed, deodorant stained, etc... that they make people who wear them look like bums.

My rare shirts are rarely worn, because some of them are not in the best condition. Which is really annoying at the same time, because hell, I'd like to show it to people at concerts, etc.

Now my question... a lot of people pay a lot of money for certain rare shirts. Is it really worth it sometimes, depending on the condition?

I only have 1 shirt I wont wear...the Keep It True fest shirt. Want it as is. Every other shirt I have I will wear. Ashbury made 25 fest shirts at Ragnarokkr and sold out instantly pretty much.

I love Joey. He even bought my band's shirt at Ragnarokkr!!!

I have MANY old metal tour shirts at my parents house.
I need to get them. I have looked em up on ebay and WOWZERS!!!

DRI - Four of a Kind (white shirt, album on front, running man logo on back)

No joke. I chatted with him a bit at last year's Ragnarokkr fest. He definitely has a collection.

I saw that vhe was having a hard time carrying it to the hotel.

I think the only ones I still own are ...

Evergrey - steel blue logo on black that I got at PPII (which is now gray, not black, and full of holes because I've worn it so much and I really really want a new one)
Evergrey Clan logo
Queensryche - Empire tour shirt with the American flag and hypodermic needles
Europe - Start From the Dark tour shirt (which I bought primarily because I was about to get on a motorcycle home - 150 miles away when it was 35f)
...that might be it, honestly. There might be one or two others turn up if I emptied my clothing storage bins.

Actually, I read once that even the not-so-rare t-shirts were selling for big bucks in vintage clothing stores. Too bad it was after I'd thrown away a huge chunk of my collection (Queensryche, Judas Priest, Dokken, Whitesnake, Aerosmith, etc.) from the 80s!

I still have this one, although it's a giant men's size. I might actually wear it again if I spent a few $$$ to have it tailored!

None, 'cause I'm a G!
I'd like an Exivious or Haken shirt though, but it's not necessary.

Your friend needs some professional help.

He is a good guy, but he needs lots of type of help!!!

I will attempt at some point to list them, I could say it is somewhere up towards around 150 currently. I keep seeing ads for Rock Quilts, I am thinking that would be a good idea now....

Last count I had over 100 Maiden and Scorps tees, and a 4 XL space bags full of all else. starting with Maiden 1982, US Festival 1983 and on and on and on .... ;-)

I see girls making purses out of them, quilts, dresses, patches.... lots to work with for sure!
One Melrose Ave. place cuts a metal tshirt logo, sews it onto a cheap hi-low dress and charges $98. hahaha
