GMC Forum _ CHILL OUT _ Band T Shirts !

Posted by: Ben Higgins Sep 9 2011, 09:38 AM

I love band merch and I think good merch is such an important part of a band's image etc..

I just wanted to share with you, our first proper T shirt !



I really like the 80's Metallica T shirt designs by Pushead..



What are some of your favourite band T shirts of all time ?

My fav would be the free Reckoning TShirt when you send me one wink.gif .

Seriously though, probably have several:

Original Subpop Nirvana Circles of Hell. That's te one with the 'Lipsmaking' poem on the back. Mines an original so has both the original poem, which I can't repeat because of the language and the Subpop logo rather than Geffen.

Crass - the broken machine gun one. Again an original from the 70s.

Rush - Hemispheres, again original.

I'm wearing a Mudhoney Birthday Cake/Reading Festival one today, which my daughter really likes. So much so that she asked me to leave it to her when I die. She also wants my Bomb Disneyland, Butthole Surfers and Dwarves band shirts when I die laugh.gif cool.gif rolleyes.gif

So no free shirts for your fellow GMCers?
If you guys ship the shirt to Germany, I'll buy one!

Wow awesome T-Shirt Ben! smile.gif
Band t-shirts are my favorite merch, especially when they feature custom made artist graphics.

I love the Iron Maiden style ones.

Maybe we should comission Jason Nocera to draw an entire Ben & Cosmin comic !? cool.gif

And of course you can feature as a Hugh Hefner type guy with a mansion full of adoring girls. Sometimes our paths cross with you as you provide us with information on the criminals of the GMC World.. and in return we turn a blind eye to some of your activites. ph34r.gif

Posted by: Gitarrero Sep 22 2011, 07:03 PM

It's a deal! laugh.gif
Which activities are you speaking of??

Posted by: Cosmin Lupu Sep 22 2011, 07:08 PM

YEAHHH! We should definitely ask Jason to do that biggrin.gif
