(The Cool Kids All Wear) Band T-Shirts

[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.

The Stooges are one of my all time favorite bands,saw the  original line up in 1969,70 and 71.Saw them at a Small club called Unganos and at The legendary Electric Circus. Saw them open for the MC5 3 times and was a member of the Fan Club…Stoogelings Courageously. Before the band officially took the name Ron Ashton called up Moe Howard of the Three Stooges and asked him if it would be OK,to which he replied call it whatever you want as long as it’s not the fucking Three Stooges. Great shirt by the way.
