where do you draw the line with merch?

[Blind Guardian]

Manowar covering my dick, neat.

 

[Crimson Velvet]

I have one Iron Maiden mug and one Burzum g-string. I bought both at the same day and I can't even imagine how drunk I must have been. The mug sees heavy use and string only occasional.

Decals and/or bumper stickers on ones car are the number one indicator of a person being an asshole.

There is a huge difference between vinyl window decals and bumper stickers.

 

[Vossyrus]

I just buy whatever I like, if it's ridiculous then I probably won't buy it but really, there's no need to draw a line anywhere.

INSTEAD YOU DRAW A CIRCLE

 

[The Heartbreak Kid]

Just t-shirts, if that.

 

[waif]

Winningest product ever. I'd use 'em.

I buy shirts and obviously cds. I have an Amon Amarth poster that came with an album, and I'll probably get more posters when I go to college. I would buy a hoodie. That's it.

 

[mutantllama]

I have an Emperor poster which came with Anthems, and a Darkthrone poster that came in a metal maniacs magazine.

(I think the Darkthrone poster is of them from when they played death metal)

 

[Satanstoenail]

Shirts & hoodies. I've also got a pair of Cannibal Corpse Butchered at Birth shorts that I bought in 92, they don't see a lot of wear these days though. And a fuckton of posters under my bed. Oh and I've also got a set of Metallica figurines circa Justice tour on my desk.

Note how completely uncoordinated Lars looks

 

[viewerfromnihil]

I don't really have a line for merch, though I don't think would get pants or shorts. G-strings however, are fine.

 

[Belligerent]

Hoodies are the shit if they are priced right. I bought an Opeth hoodie off of ebay for 30 bones and i wear it constantly. Next in line would be tshirts.

 

[Belligerent]

G-strings however, are fine.

i was thinking of getting a Manowar g string, preferably off of one of the band members sweaty member.

youre gonna have to explain that one? why not wear a hat from a band? why not support them and wear what you want/need?
~gR~

Because I don't think they look very good. Also, I don't want a brand or a band name all over my shirt. It is the same reason I avoid Abercrombie and Fitch(I only buy flannels there) and other stores like that. I don't need a name plastered all over me to try and represent anything. If I need to wear something, I am not going to be double-productive and try to wear something visually pleasing while trying advertise a band. I would rather wear something that looks good, is designed for the sake of being a quality piece of clothing, and further stands as a symbol of my identity. Wearing merch usually detracts from that goal, though I have a few band shirts. Obviously, this is not to say you are a tool or everyone who is different from me is some kind of a mindless brand/band-shirt wearing loser, I just think it is a stupid idea to wear a massive amount of merch.

@ Metallica figurines

 

[mutantllama]

I have a bobble head of Kirk, but part of his head broke.

 

[Belligerent]

Kirk loves giving head
amirite?

 

[The Ozzman]

I have all shirts and one beanie (Carcass). That's about where I draw the line.

I would get stickers for my car though. I need to find some.

 

[JGMetalhead]

I need to find some posters badly... And I need to go to a fucking concert. It's been 2 years since my last concert im mad pissed. Oh and I also need some rad pants. I got a decent amount of shirts and a decent collection.

 

[Belligerent]

I would get stickers for my car though. I need to find some.

I have a Katatonia sticker and Bloodbath on my truck along with a huge White Sox sticker.

That is kind of shit I am talking about about when I say "tool." Who needs a pair of fucking band pants?
