I was going to say Dud until I read:
her wearing a ripped up Ramones t-shirt specially defaced to draw attention towards her breasts.

Now I think further research is in order.

come on, folks! haven't you ever heard that great ramones classic 'shania is a punk rocker'?! sean, it's funny you mention emily from the indigo girls wearing a husker du tee on the 'nomads, indians, saints' record - it was precisely what compelled me to buy it in the first place, and i retain a fondness for it (and for the indigo girls generally) even though it's a squillion miles away from the huskers musically. who knows, maybe this is her first tentative step towards a musical renaissance. maybe she's planning a record of throbbing gristle covers as we type. now wouldn't that be something...

this has bugged me for years so i hope someone can confirm or deny, but i've always been convinced that in the very first new kids on the block video (the right stuff?), one of them is wearing a bauhaus 'bela lugusi's dead' t-shirt.

is this correct - and if so why?

― adam b (adam b), Tuesday, 12 November 2002 13:40 (twenty-three years ago)

I remember that video/shirt. I still don't know why they dressed him that way.

― dave225 (Dave225), Tuesday, 12 November 2002 13:43 (twenty-three years ago)

why= cz bauhaus rock!!

i am a ramones fan = i wz a ramones fan ever since i wz born?? maybe she only heard the ramones after she left sudbury? if "sudbury taste" is all that defines her, why wd she ever have left it? snooker player steve davies is a top fan of magma, but he doesn't play snooker in a magma-like fashion (sadly)

― mark s (mark s), Tuesday, 12 November 2002 13:45 (twenty-three years ago)

Right. Bauhaus = rock. New Kids wearing Bauhaus shirt yeilds NKoTB = rock via shirttails.

― dave225 (Dave225), Tuesday, 12 November 2002 13:48 (twenty-three years ago)

the steve davis/magma thing is just too good to be true. did you see his all time top three records in the observer sports magazine?

number one was a really obscure nothern soul floor-filler

number two was something by magma

and number three was.....it's too good, but it's true! 'snooky loopy nuts are we'.

the man is pure class.

― adam b (adam b), Tuesday, 12 November 2002 13:57 (twenty-three years ago)

Timmins, Ontario != Sudbury but still another place in Northern Ontario I wish I haven't been to.

Problem is, she's clad in a skin-tight Ramones T-shirt, re-stitched in that ever-popular single-shoulder-strap Jane Of The Jungle style. Shania Twain in a freakin' Ramones shirt!

This is even worse then Britney in a school girl uniform.
I fear for radio in this country next year.

steve davis likes magma!!!

alex higgins, by contrast, will listen only to 'operation mindcrime' by queensryche.

it is thought that this gave added edge to their fierce rivalry on the green baize.

I seem to remember Steve Davis actually paid to put on a Magma gig in London several years ago.

Rumours that Chas & Dave were going to be the support proved unfounded....

Dear Mr Noodles,

in regard to your timmins comment - i have one question - AND STILL THINK THAT AFTER GOING TO HAMILTON FOR THE SWEARING AT MOTORISTS SHOW. I USED TO LIVE IN HAMMER-ROCK (HOME OF THE ROCK). IT IS LIKE BEING STUCK IN A BON JOVI/DAVID LYNCH NIGHTMARE WITH WORSE MUSIC THAN THE DARKNESS! YIKES!

if shania can get some mor freaks into ramones - good, thing, surely.

canada must be the home of the rabid joey ramone fan.

― doom-e, Tuesday, 12 November 2002 15:07 (twenty-three years ago)

well, it'd be good for the ramones. why would it matter to anyone else?

― adam b (adam b), Tuesday, 12 November 2002 15:09 (twenty-three years ago)

its a t shirt. big deal. is she a fan? you hear one song youve heard them all, and thats a good thing. would joey give a hoot? i doubt it. sheesh, its the ramones not reich.

Regardless of the shirt, Shinia Twain must die before this country, and most of the states must suffer with dooot doot doot doo I Feel Like a Lady dooot dooot doo all over again! Line dancing will become acceptable and possibly popular again.

― Mr Noodles (Mr Noodles), Tuesday, 12 November 2002 15:37 (twenty-three years ago)

She looks awful in it. That's the saving grace, she looks just horrendous. She can't do anything right: everything she touches turns middle-of-the-road. I don't care how she sells, she's just waaay off base.

Good point, Matt -- she doesn't even look convincing, let alone good, in it. Ick!

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Tuesday, 12 November 2002 16:05 (twenty-three years ago)

At the very least, you're not as extreme as someone else I know (who may be reading this) who always used to say about musical artists he particularly disliked: "xxxxxx needs to die horribly in a fire." I don't know whether that would apply to Shania here; if he's reading this maybe he could confirm this fact if he feels like being that extreme on a public forum.

Next thing you know, Faith Hill will be taping a scrap of a Sex Pistols t-shirt across her nipples to one-up Shania.

― Nicole (Nicole), Tuesday, 12 November 2002 16:19 (twenty-three years ago)

Don't you mean "ribs", Nicole? Faith is so emaciated I wouldn't be surprised if her body had ingested its own nipples for sustenance.

mr noodles are you going to see racebannon in hamilton - they are playing the underground (hamilton, the only place where you can go christmas shopping and watch people sniff glue openly - oh the freedom. momus would get his ass kicked in hamilton within seconds, though, he would appreciate the decadence destruction).

i miss hamilton. it was more surreal than london!

― doom-e, Tuesday, 12 November 2002 16:44 (twenty-three years ago)

it would be cool if shania played the crazy injun bar - the only place wehre i walked by twice at two in hte morning on seperate occassions to see a beer bottle flinging it's way out of the front plate glass window and somebody stumbling out holding their bloodied head and calling me faggot.

(may i remark, this was on two seperate occassions)

oh....i'm getting homesick now!

― doom-e, Tuesday, 12 November 2002 16:48 (twenty-three years ago)

if shania came stumbling out of the crazy injun wearing the ramones t-shirt, or it was shredded because she was in a cat fight at the crazy injun, you would be saying a different story!

― doom-e, Tuesday, 12 November 2002 16:52 (twenty-three years ago)

she could have been attacked during her encore of snowbird at the crazy injun ... well ... you never know, the rips of the t-shirt might be real!

― doom-e, Tuesday, 12 November 2002 16:56 (twenty-three years ago)

Judging by the background of that picture, she's still in Switzerland, so I doubt that very much.

― Sean Carruthers (SeanC), Tuesday, 12 November 2002 17:28 (twenty-three years ago)

I don't care either way because the ramones were shit.

here's hoping she wears a radiohead t-shirt next.

Canada unfortunately seems to have quite a few ramones fans. pity.

― Julio Desouza (jdesouza), Tuesday, 12 November 2002 17:39 (twenty-three years ago)

Eh, that picture's anti-climatic; I thought it would be a Ramones t-shirt, with the band and all, but it's just the symbol- no reason to get all worked up about THAT, she pro'lly has no idea who the band are and just thought it was a nifty logo. Which it is.

― Daniel_Rf (Daniel_Rf), Tuesday, 12 November 2002 17:54 (twenty-three years ago)

If Brian Eno can record an album in Hamilton so could Momus. The eye patch would just be an assumed over eager Ti Cats fan injury.

racebannon in hamilton

Well now that I am without access to a car, no.

true, true, if only we could keep him away from crazy deals (with appropriate backwards z) and buying a sparkly eye patch.

Momus: Why, this eye patch is fantastical, I shall busk my new song, in celebration *singing* 'My eyepatch is a penis...OOOoOOOOooOOOoOO....'

TiCat Fan: Faggot.....*punches Momus in the eye*

Momus: I am Marquis de sade and will come over your town in sweet revenge.

I still like the idea that the t-shirt was ripped up in a bar brawl in hamilton ....

today I saw 3 sorority-looking girls walking around and one of them had a Ramones shirt on, and I really had no idea whether to cheer her music taste on the inside or sneer at her ironic sense of style on the inside.

― Al (sitcom), Wednesday, 3 November 2004 06:49 (twenty-one years ago)

was it ironic??? i think she probably likes the ramones!

I can't see there being too many punk fans back in the day in Sudbury.
-- Mr Noodles

Maybe a coupla years too late to answer this (I ain't read the whole thread yet!), but my step-cousins were surely among the first punk fans in Garson - a "suburb" of Sudbury for those unaware. And it's just because I happened to be visiting them at the time that I was able to hear Never Mind The Bollocks the very day it arrived in Sudbury shops, December 31, 1977. Sounded OK to me, but I was more impressed by Rocket To Russia.

Robbie Williams with a Misfits battle jacket. He’s also wearing a Milli Vanilli tee so covering all bases,
