From the Rolling Stones to Styx, music T-shirts are are the biggest thing in vintage clothing right now—even if buyers have never even listened to the band.

Your closet could have $$$$$ hanging on a wire hanger!..................

[Red Badger]

I’ve got Black Sabbath, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, et al.................

[Robert DeLong]

Yes it is, and many of them have never been worn either. 8>)

[Red Badger]

Those would fetch a fortune!...............

I’ve seen Metallica SEVEN times. That includes the Guns N Roses/Faith No More/Skid Row super tour and Big 4. I even had tickets for the Vancouver show (which ended up with the biggest riot GNR created after St Louis)

[Robert DeLong]

Perhaps, but they are mine. Maybe the kids will see them when I’m gone. 8>)

[RandallFlagg]

But will Lars start crying about profits lost due to the sellers not paying royalties?

;-)

[beergarden]

I think my big brother still has 2 of them from 1994. He kept one in plastic for the Black album tour. Gotta ask him..

[beergarden]

He’s an asshat alright. Cant forget the Napster nonsense LOL.

[Red Badger]

Your kids will give them to Goodwill.................

Wish I still my US festival T-shirts. Beautiful graphics.

I work at a old tech company (still very, very successful) and the attire is “casual”.

On every campus, every day.

When I see these kids with a Rolling Stones Steel Wheels Tour, or Metallica Kill ‘em All T shirt I usually assume they got it from their dad.

Now I know they bought it on ebay LOL

[right way right]

I wore all mine out doing my Bevis and Butthead impression in the 80s.

[Mariner]

“I’ve got Black Sabbath, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, et al.................”

Three of the Original Big Six.

Cream, Beatles and Rolling Stones being the other 3.

The 6 bands that redefined modern music. Oddly, all British bands.

LOLOLOOLOOLLOLLLL!!!

What a tool he is, and he’s the “smart” one.

[Robert DeLong]

No I don't think so. They are savvy enough to know that they are worth something. 8>)

They have some of the newer groups themselves.

[RandallFlagg]

Don’t get me wrong. I’ve been listening to Metallica since 1986.
Saw them live in 1994 in Otay Mesa near San Diego.

Then........they released Load.

[beergarden]

I got used to it lol. Load and Re-Load are OK. It’s not like you’re listening to Madonna or Lady Gaga where you take a cold shower afterwards.

[MissEdie]

I have a couple of the Faces, wonder if they’d be worth anything...
