(The Cool Kids All Wear) Band T-Shirts

[Jett129]

@Oroccoco Saw the original Stooges several times in a small club called,in NYC, Unganos,as well as three times opening up for the MC5.One of my all time favorite bands.

[Oroccoco]

Thanks @Oaktavia , Filthy's Samhain and Danzig shirts upthread are what prompted me to have a rummage around.

@Jett129 You saw the Stooges opening for MC5?!  ??? That is some serious pedigree.

[Jett129]

I saw Led Zeppelin open up for the Iron Butterfly. I’m fucking old,but I saw all the cool bands. My band opened for the Ramones and Blonde,probably not as cool.

[Oroccoco]

Jeez, now you're taking it up a notch… I'm not ignorant as to a forum open 'secret' am I? Are you actually David Byrne? 

If I'd opened for the Ramones I'd be sitting pretty easy, I bet you've got some stories.

[Jett129]

Definitely not David Byrne. Grew up in NYC,and was playing drums for The Poppees,Sorrows and Wayne County during the Punk/New Wave days. Before that went to the Fillmore East every chance I got.

[Oroccoco]

Congratulations on your contribution to one of the great places/times in music. I'll shut my big mouth now and have a listen to the Poppees.

[Jett129]

[steelworker]

You played for Wayne County And Poppees?  :o Damn! @Jett129 !

[Jett129]

You familiar with either of those? Sorrows was after Wayne went to the UK and The Poppees broke up.

[Oroccoco]

@Jett129 'Cream in my Jeans' has gotta be made the official forum anthem, surely!

I listened to Sorrows Good Times Bad Times on Spotify at work today - love that powerpop sound. Do you think we could get an IH take on the skinny tie?

[Jett129]

Wayne/Jayne wrote that song for Iggy Pop. It’s based off of a Gospel song called I’m Waiting on You Jesus. I think the skinny tie ship has sailed.

This is the rarest shirt that I have. There's only 1 in existence and was given to me by the drummer of the band!

He expressed dismay in sending it to me after he did. But it is one of my treasures.

[Max Power]

Do vests also count? IH of course

[Filthy2123ozjunkie]

Holy shit @Max Power there's like 2 million dollars worth of vintage patches on that. And the evo on that vest is crazy

[Max Power]

Cheers @Filthy 

Still working on my crust / punk / black metal vest on black denim.

Might as well put the epic/ doom project in here as well.

[Filthy2123ozjunkie]

I like the Scald patches on there 

[Max Power]

Good eye @Filthy

[Tago Mago]

@Max:

Nice, Atlantean Kodex and While Heaven Wept in particular! Any love for Solitude Aeturnus?

[Max Power]

@Tago Mago For sure! Some of the classics are missing, have spare Saint Vitus and Candlemass, also Trouble, Count Raven and Solitude Aeturnus are missing. But I didn't want to lose the functionality of the front pockets.
