Musicians Wearing Shirts from Bands That Sound Nothing Like Them

every counting crows record is at least as good as loaded

i dunno abt that but i like "a long december" more than "lonesome cowboy bill"

honestly the blue collar & pockets are the more offensive things about that jacket

cr it bothers me less that he's repping bands he most likely has never heard and more how bad he looks

chris brown and harley flanagan would probably get along

lolz, i always enjoy aero's unrelenting loaded hate.

at my funeral my life's work, a screed entitled Disputatio pro declaratione virtutis Loadedis, will be read by mourners as a copy of the master tape is backed over by a monster truck

and then a choir sings a sweet version of oh sweet nuthin followed up by a rootin tootin cowboy bill!

is that all the monster truck is going to do at your funeral? I mean you might as well give folks a full show.

is the 1st one ke$ha?

y

all these famouses are already on t-shirts and have identities that are reducible to a t-shirt. they're walking t-shirts themselves. the semiotics of a walking t-shirt wearing a t-shirt are going to be different than those of a civilian wearing the same shirt.

like i could subsume my identity in a smiths shirt but durst can't recede in the same way. he can only scramble the durst signal, redirect it, attempt counterpoint or amplification, or point to something interior but he can't lose himself in the smiths signal.

not sayin these ppl can't wear a band shirt for the same reasons as anybody else but ilx and authorial intent etc..

What yr sayin' is, it's quite possible that a famous wearing a tshirt could in itself become a t-shirt with meaning, but a famous could not wear that shirt because π

you mean like durst wearing a shirt that has a pic of duff wearing a motorhead shirt? only if that was an officially merchandised duff shirt, and the duff/ motorhead conflict collapsed into a singularity. otherwise it's just a dickhead wearing some shirt.

here's someone wondering, seemingly in earnest, why Chris Brown didn't save money by making his own punk rock jacket: http://www.aux.tv/2012/11/chris-brown-finally-kills-punk-rock-with-patched-up-leather-jacket-featuring-exploited-municipal-waste-and-cro-mags-patches/

"A site like Interpunk sells band patches for about $3-4 a piece"

never realised that the look of 'DOOM' from the game Doom was p. much directly inspired from the look of 'DOOM' from the band Doom

Surf pop band Best Coast loves them some Metallica... Maybe it's because they played the Orion Festival?

I don't know what tee the girl is rockin' in the second shot though... Anyone?

Fleetwood Mac. Maybe the two of them just swap shirts.

Kinky.

The guitar/vocalist dude from JEFF The Brotherhood likes his metal bands too, or at least metal band shirts...

This one hurts my head. Not the Christina Black Flag tee but, um, a Skrewdriver shirt for her kid? Really? Maybe this is a shop (he asks hopefully)?

it's from the blog "Black Flag Shirts on Every Celebrity".

Xtina was quoted in a interview about the Dale Nixon situation for My War

Maybe this is a shop (he asks hopefully)?

c'mon man you posted this shit. you so hope this isn't a shop.

This thread would be a lot more fun if it it was less "LOL FAMOUS PERSON DOESN'T KNOW AS MUCH ABOUT BAND AS ME BECAUSE THEY ARE TOO BUSY BEING FAMOUS" and was more "Hey, isn't this neat?"

so this here is ke$ha and i think it's all kinds of neat:

Did you catch the Ke$ha/Residents controversy from like a month ago?

http://www.stereogum.com/1399322/did-kehas-stage-show-rip-off-the-residents/news/

Also, the kid's Big Bad Wolf shirt is awesome.

The interesting thing about this is that ideally while people should wear tshirts of other musicians if they sound nothing like them, when it comes to places the opposite is true and they should only wear a tshirt of a place they have actually been to

Oh yeah, no way would that little guy have met the height requirements for the Big Bad Wolf.

although funnily enough he would have met the white requirements for Skrewdriver.

lol

Probably not though, because he's half Jewish and a quarter Hispanic.

Did you catch the Ke$ha/Residents controversy from like a month ago?

the awesome thing about that story is that the residents, who have never ever ever appropriated another artists' image, nope, not them, are now concerned in an apparently lawyerly way about someone appropriating theirs.

yeah because there is no difference between the Residents and THE BEATLES

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/people/news/vinnie-jones-claims-immigration-has-made-england-unrecognisable-and-not-the-country-i-grew-up-in-8795617.html

definitely the most offensive thing about this story and the total wasteman in it is that he made me spend five minutes trying to verify if he's wearing a Sir Lord Baltimore shirt in the pic (he isn't)

the Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels star said that England was “past its sell by date.”

Funny sentence that. What IS the shirt?

Oh, I see now.

The new brand from CHRISTIAN AUDIGIER - Lord Baltimore and Lady Baltimore apparel is putting a new spin ...

oh and in case any pedants wanted to try and make out that Vinnie isn't a musician

I haven't heard Lorde that I know of but I am pretty sure she doesn't sound like The Cra,ps.

Or The Cramps. She might sound like crap for all I know.

The Craps - Chicago-based Cramps tribute band.

Word from Lorde's publicist (who I'm friendly with) is that she's actually a Cramps fan. As such, I look forward to her inevitable cover of "Goo Goo Muck."

"Surfin' Bird" surely

Former Vivian Girls bassist's solo record has her album cover put her in this thread:

I've long had a hunch that Poison Idea would follow after the Ramones then Motorhead then Black Flag T-shirt photo opportunities were depleted.
