Wear the t-shirts if you listen to the band, not because that shirt looks
cool.
Also don’t preach about Rock ‘n roll when you have Daft Punk on your wall.
I hate it when girls wear nirvana shirts and don’t know who the band is or
any of their songs or even think it’s a clothing brand
Seriously the only rule I agree with is 2 other than that it’s all crap, if
you go to a gig almost everyone wears a shirt with the logo of the band
that is playing, tbh it’s respectful! If I found a vintage band shirt of a
band that I like in a thrift store I would buy it (I think most people
would) and the first rule is absolute crapola.
You are the biggest asshole ever. “Ladies you can wear a band tee shirt
anytime, as long as your boobs accentuate the logo.” That is the most
sexist thing you can say. Half of my wardrobe is full of band tees so I
probably couldn’t go a week without wearing one! Also a lot of people wear
the band tee shirt to that bands concert in hopes of maybe getting it
signed! Who wants All Time Low to sign your Sleeping With Sirens shirt!?!
My point is you are a sexist asshole who has no clue what they are talking
about.
5:28 : what the FUCK is that. are you FUCKING SERIOUS. you asshole. WHY IS
IT that so many guys have to do this. please stop fangirling over boobs. I
find that disrespectful and annoying. stop with the whole boob thing. I
mean if you like boobs you go right ahead and like boobs. But please DO NOT
just act like we’re a toy or a piece of meat or some shit. Fucking tired of
people.
All this trouble for a piece of fabric?
Man this looks dumb.
Does it matter if they know the band? Maybe they don’t exactly like their
music but they like band shirts.
Honestly I DONT GIVE A SHIT!! I don’t think people should really be this
concerned about who is wearing a band tee. If you think something is cool
and you want to wear then, GO APE SHIT!!! Stop acting like its the end of
the world if they are wearing a shirt from a band they don’t know that
well.
“Don’t wear a band shirt everyday”
SHUT THE FUCK UP
“IF YOU DON’T OWN TWO OF THEIR ALBUMS”
I CAN’T FUCKING AFFORD TWO ALBUMS, I FUCKING LOVE THE MISFITS, KNOW ALL THE
LYRICS TO STATIC AGE AND EARTH AD/WOLFSBLOOD
GUESS WHAT
ONLY OWN EARTH AD
“Don’t wear a band shirt that you don’t know”
ye
“Don’t wear a band shirt of the band you’re going to see”
agree
“Vintage t-shirt rule”
It’s whatever, who gives a fuck
Everyone wears nirvana tops it pisses me off.
I hate when people wear Nirvana shirts bc it’s “cool” or the only song they
know by them is Smells Like Teen Spirit… No, take the damn shirt off now!
I don’t see a problem with wearing a band’s t-shirt as long as you know a
lot about the band and are an actual fan. I only have a problem with people
who, for example, wear a Nirvana shirt because they think it’s some fashion
line. That’s just my opinion though.
The ONLY rule is that you have to enjoy and know at least some of their
music…
apart from that wear whatever the hell you like and whenever you like.
This guy is an asshole, and most likely a poseur himself…
What if i only buy a t shirt because i like the band,
you will put me a F?
Never ever ever wear a fucking suit and post dumb videos on youtube!!
There are no “rules” for band shirts. The only fucking thing that matters
is that you love the band. I wear a different band shirt every day, I have
an extensive collection of shirts, mostly Thrash and Death Metal. Who the
fuck cares if you wear a shirt of the band you are seeing live? I have
never done that, but really? Who cares? Metal is about the passion for
music, not worrying how to organize when you’re allowed to wear certain
shirts.
Do I see Jimmy the rev Sullivan on your wall? RIP.
This is the worst video.
So just because I don’t own two albums from Nirvana or Panic at the Disco,
or Muse that means I can’t wear a band tee? That makes no damn sense
whatsoever.
Well this is a load of shit.
Rule 1: Strongly, STRONGLY disagree. Almost 80% of my wardrobe is band
shirts, and I’ve never got shit from anyone.
Rule 2: I totally agree with this one. I’m tired of seeing people wearing
band shirts to look “cool” or “trendy.” It makes me really sick.
Rule 3: Semi-agree. It’s good to wear a shirt of a band you’re seeing at a
show, but it’s good to wear a shirt of a different band to express what
other bands you like.
Rule 4: Eh, I don’t really care about this one too much. A band shirt’s a
band shirt to me regardless of how old it is… :/
so the rules are for guys and not for girls some girls are fucking stupid
with this they wear a Nirvana t shirt they like 1direction and they dont
even fucking know who Kurt Cobain was oh and the ones who wear a band t
shirt as a fucking crop top because they think it looks ´´cute´´ FUCK THAT
SHIT girls need to also be made fun of for their ignorance oh and so you
say a guy who loves rock music cant wear band shirts everyday but a girl
who just wears the shirts for the looks is allowed to wear the shirts
everyday GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE ignorance doesnt make acceptions so if a
girl does that then theyre still ignorant and need to be told that also
the boobs in a way help promote the bands if there is a Chevelle t shirt
with the logo laying on the boobs then that will make every rock fan that
likes boobs want to check out the band and a girl cant control the boob
size unless of course they had surgery on their breasts oh and girls also
need to be told off on their ignorance like this one girl she wore a
Nightwish (symphonic metal band) t shirt she doesnt know shit about them
the only album she was able to name was Imaginaerum which is their latest
and the only person in the band that she was able to name was Tarja who is
a former member she didnt even know that she was replaced with another
singer oh and this other girl who wears trendy stuff like fucking crop tops
and shit also wears a Ramones t shirt she doesnt even know why theres
peoples names on the shirt doesnt know most of them are dead guess what she
cant even name a song not even I wanna be Sedated oh and she listend to
1direction so do you really think she deserves to wear it NO
this is so pathetic…How to make sure you don’t look like the poseur you
actually are..haha all this said by the guy who’s holding a drum stick cuz
”he knows about bands”!!
Note 2 self: stop watching random youtube videos and getta life!!!
even though I don’t think I’ve ever “disobeyed” any of these rules I think
the only thing that really matters is whether you actually listen to/like
that band. If I see someone wear a Nirvana shirt, 90% of the time I can be
sure that person only knows Smells Like Teen Spirit (at most) and that does
get on my nerves, or when people compliment me on my t-shirts because their
favourite boyband member likes that band. But apart from this, there should
be no “rules” to wearing band t-shirts and people should decide for
themselves whether they like to wear their (e.g.) Pixies shirt to a Pixies
concert. I personally don’t like doing that but I also don’t have a problem
with people who do.
(on another note, the Sex Pistols don’t even have 2 studio albums that one
could own, does that mean no one’s allowed to wear their shirts?)
What if the band has only one album
the ramones t shirt is wrong its nirvana that is the problem
Wow. Since you made these rules I MUST follow them now. I’m going to stop
wearing my favorite band t-shirts because you said so. I’ll make sure to
make a schedule of my week and pick which day of the week I can wear a
t-shirt. And make sure that it’s not the same day next week.
What if you don’t have an album because you listen to all their albums
online
I don’t see why some of these rules are relevant to wearing band
tshirts….. I know people should not wear if they don’t know the band but
come on, if we listen to a whole album or know their history at least, they
have a right to wear it and later get into the band more…… I’m sorry
but this video was kinda a bitchy move mate…..
This made me feel really insecure about myself to be honest…
Dude, sorry but no. I’ll wear all the shirts from all the bands I love
however many days of the week I want to. I fucking love led zeppelin and I
wish I went to one of their concerts. Damn.
Well damn, you’re an asshole.
I do have problems with remembering band names and song titles no matter
what it is ;-;
I wear band shirts all the time, I don’t see what’s wrong with it ._.
you’re so fucking pretentious I’m laughing so hard
OK FIRST OF ALL WHO CARES OF THEY WHERE 5 BAND SHIRTS IN THE SAME WEEK AND
WHO CARES OF THEY DONT KNOW AND KNOW CARES IF THEY CAN NAME 3 SONGS. YOU
KNOW WHAT I HATE PEOPLE LIKE YOU CAUSE YOU NEED TO TEST EVERY ONE!! WHO
CARES IS IT YOUR LIFE DOES IT REALLY EFFECT YOU?!?!?!
People must have watched this video because when I was wearing a Led
Zeppelin t-shirt they started asking me questions and that.
I paid for my shirts to wear them, I’m not going to use only one of them
each week, that’s a retarded “rule”.
So basically what he’s trying to say is don’t by the shirt if your not a
fan or you don’t know any of there songs!! Good enough
So just because I saw a vintage tour shirt for sale doesn’t mean I can’t
buy it or wear it because I wasn’t there? I’ll have you know I have plenty
of vintage tour t-shirts, and when I’m in public I get compliments for
wearing them, and I get asked where I bought them. Plus, the Zeppelin US
Tour of 77 shirt is the most common and popular Zeppelin shirt to date so
that last rule is bullshit.
hey, what about just wearing the shirt because you like the shirt. lets not
be uppity music snobs to everyone.
I can’t remember the song titles ._. :D
That picture of jimmy… oh my fucking god you’re bringing back the
memories…
All of my shirts are band shirts, some times they get covered up with a
sweater, but yeah I’m no middle aged man behind a record store counter
lolz, and true thing about the 3 song rule you forgot to mention nirvana
because people are starting to do that way to much
I love this guy
I have to disagree with rule number 3! Most of the bands I go to see are
willing to stick around after the show. So it’s nice to get pics with them
wearing a t-shirt with their logo on it. It makes for a better FB profile
pic!
Messed up. So because I only have 1 pink Floyd album I can’t wear my
t-shirt. I don’t think so.
TRUTH. Everyone in my school wears nirvana, Kiss, iron maiden etc. but NONE
of them know the music. Dafuq?! –‘
I understand them, but the last one is just fucking stupid. Usually, I
respect you guys, bit I think that if someone wears the fake vintage
shirts, it’s because they wished they were at said concert. I own 2 band
shirts. My 2011 Jethro Tull shirt I got when seeing them live in 7th grade,
life changing by the way, and my 1982 for those about to rock ACDC. I know
about this tour, but none of my relatives are into the culture of ACDC
enough that they were at this specific concert. If they were, and they
owned one, and I got said shirt, I would BURN the fake one. I wear it
because I wish I was at this concert, but none of my relatives were there.
Although, Is you see me with a greatful dead shirt, it’s probably because I
found it in my uncle’s attic and he didn’t want to wear it anyways. You are
a very strict teacher, but I think I can see why. Posers are a thing, I go
to Lincoln Park I should know, but there are those who are super fans who’s
parents, don’t exactly appreciate their endevors in rock.
Eh… Kinds true… But it really makes me mad when people wear the shirt,
and yet… they’re like “Uhm… Who are they?” Like… why wear the
shirt… C’mon… At least remember the TITLE of the band if you’re wearing
their shirt… ):
