Vintage AFD lineup shirt - Does it have enough value that I shouldn't be wearing it?


Recommended Posts

I'm pretty positive it's a bootleg, so not sure how much it's worth. That being said, I haven't seen it very often at all myself.I have the same one but it has a different back picture. Pretty cool looking shirt either way.

Edit: I just looked at mine. MIne has the Appetite photo of the guys sitting against the wall and says Appetite For Destruction on the bottom with the 2 guns symbol. I think I like the back of yours better, nice that it has some extra live photos. Definitely a bootleg though, not sure how old it actually is or how much they're worth.

I'm pretty sure it's bootleg shirt. I think the oldest GN'R shirt, besides those that Slash painted with spray paint before they got signed, is the one with the skull and the gun through it, and in the back it has the Canadian tour dates from when GN'R opened the shows for The Cult in 1987. I've seen those go for about 350-400 dollars.

If you can prove that this shirt is as old as you say it is, I'm pretty sure it wouldn't matter if it was a bootleg shirt, as it would still be an awesome vintage GN'R shirt.

I'd say it would go for 200 bucks tops.

What shirt are you referring to here? Do you have pics or a more detailed description please? Haven't heard of this in all my time collecting, would be cool to know about a new item. Here's an old shirt:

Those were the exact shirts I was thinking off, going off exactly what I remembered from reading on your website ;) I wish I owned that Live Like a Suicide shirt so bad.

Found it http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-1987-Guns-n-Roses-Banned-Concert-T-shirt-and-Ticket-Stub-/171133753675?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item27d85dd94b

Turns out it's not from the Cult tour but from their first headlining tour in america in 1987. That's a fucking awesome t shirt, I wish I could have it!

That is NOT the skull and gun...lmfao. That's the rape scene (which hasn't sold for $350-$400 in years).

First of all I know it's not the skull one, I made a mistake.

And second : http://www.ebay.com/itm/Guns-N-Roses-Vintage-1987-Tour-Rape-Scene-Banned-Large-T-shirt-Axl-Rose-S-/231061974713?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item35cc5deeb9

You're correct Tim. I just posted that as an example, there is the more "normal" (common) version without the Japan Tour script (Axl wore at Donington '88). And thanks! HighVoltage made it eons ago for me. I've always wanted to make that image into a business card too.

XX - Yeah that one in particular has been listed at $250 for awhile, but they haven't sold for over $125ish in a couple of years. Usually they sell for around $75 - $90 as of late.

I have a shitload of old GNR shirts, no bootlegs...i guess i should dig them out and see which ones i have. Im thinking of having a tshirt quilt made with all my tshirts, it costs like $300, but its badass..i would recommend having it done if you have a shitload of old school shirts

Now here's an Appetite shirt with Canada dates on it. It's the rape scene shirt and not the skull shirt. And the Canadian dates are not from their tour with The Cult.

Here's one from their tour with The Cult:

No dates on the back.
