Band t shirts...

[snags]

Do you/would you wear a band's t shirt to one of their own gigs?

It seems in certain circles (a discussion I'm following on another forum) that doing this is a major faux pas...

really? when i went to see slipknot last year i wore their tour t shirt from their previous tour. didnt seem a problem.
also worn my rammstein top to their gigs...
painted my face for Kiss. i dont think its a problem...

I don't tend to go for the tee-shirt look except on holiday - at almost fifty-six, it looks somewhat undignified on me.

That said - I can't see why on earth a logo tee-shirt would be a faux pas at any gig - either of the band playing or not.

How very strange.

I reckon that wearing a girls aloud, or shampoo tee shirt to a AC-DC concert might be considered a major faux!

...pas.

Personally I think 'each to their own'. For some reason the opinion that 'it just aint cool' was quite prevalent. I was curious as to what others on a non 'music specific' forum thought...

Chuck... how much do you want for that Girl's aloud t?

[lumination]

ah yes we broke the record for the most people with kiss face paint at download festival Pinkilady, get in!

for some bands i think it would be weord, like what chuck said.
but every gig i go to there are ALWAYS people wearing the band logo

I would have thought you'd be more interested in the shampoo one!

[snags]

I already have that one...

Do you/would you wear a band's t shirt to one of their own gigs? - Yes I would, providing it's a complimentary one. :-)


It seems in certain circles (a discussion I'm following on another forum) that doing this is a major faux pas... - Those circles are a bunch of vain people. Why would it be a faux pas? Makes no sense to me at all.

Although I don't usually wear a tee - I did see a guy at a gig once with a Whigfield tee-shirt on ,which I coveted immediately! If I can find one, I will wear it to all the death metal gigs i attend as a writer - i already stick out like a Rabbi at a Christening, so it'll just add to that effect.

Can't remember exactly pinklady - I think it might have been Nine Inch Nails - it was certainly a seriously rocky outfit - I was so jealous!

Me too! I bow to no-one in my adoration of Euro-pop - and 'Saturday Night' as one of the finest pop records ever made, so if i can fly the flag at the next Cradle of Filth turn-out, I shall do so!
