Musicians Wearing Shirts from Bands That Sound Nothing Like Them

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)?

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?

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

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.

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.

nyc-n why is t-shirt authenticity so important to your spirituality

you know wearing a t-shirt is not the same thing as being a person right

it's like in trading places when louis sees billy ray being driven around in his car and wearing his harvard repp tie and he's more upset about the tie than the car.

i love that he thinks kickball katy, who has been in the nyc underground for like 7 years, is some poser for wearing a poison idea shirt

is the thread title not worded so we can at least attempt to catalogue these instances w/o getting Alex in NYC abt it

xpost, i mean't bendy not nyc

(xp) based on thread title, it would probably be fair to post every photo of every musician who has ever worn a band t-shirt -- even, in some instances, musicians wearing their own band's t-shirt.

Not saying Katy is a poser, but I'm guessing she's leading the way for subsequent Poison Idea t-shirt appearances.

ILXors Are Pretentious Assholes

pick your zing

I realize that people reading the first posts in a 6 1/2 year old thread are not likely.

But for those who are thinking this thread is about people making fun of people for wearing shirts they shouldn't, or whatever, we had that argument 6 1/2 years ago.

We're not (for the most part) being elitist, pointing and laughing at the "posers" or whatever. We're just posting pictures.

As the guy who started the thread, I think it's pretty cool when some pop star wears a Ramones, Motorhead or Darkthrone shirt.

Speaking of which, who is the Darkthrone-tee-shirted keyboardist above?

some totally inauthentic pretensious asshole

aren't vivian girls and poison idea both punk bands? not sure i follow..

You know that female musicians just spend all day sitting around thinking "what t-shirt can I wear that will piss the *most* dudes off?"

It's true; this is totally a thing. We have meetings and stuff.

Anyway, I'm just gonna keep posting this picture more and more because it makes me laugh so much.
