troccoli Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 (edited) Well not sure if you remember, but a while ago I picked this shirt up:http://www.troccolitm.com/ShirtRareAsFuck.htmlI didn't even realize it at the time, but thanks to this post (http://www.chinesedemocracy.com/forum/index.php?topic=48762.0) I now realize that Axl is actually wearing this shirt in the WTTJ video!!! Go on youtube and you'll see him wearing it toward the very end, the part where he's standing in the street looking at TVs in a store display. We're talking about almost the end of the video, after 4:10. Also, I always wondered if the back of my shirt was legit, and if you pause the vid right around 4:17/4:18 I believe you can make out the S of the word Suicide. I think you can also make out the left side of the L in the word Live. I wish I had a more high def version of this vid. Can't watch the promo vids I have right now since I'm in San Fran. I have a pic of the end of the vid here:http://troccolitm.com/JungVidPic.jpgIMO, the green arrow points to the S in the word suicide, and the red arrow points to the left of the L in the word Live.

Almost Famous Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 Yep same shirt. I thought I mentioned this in Vegas? I have pictures of Slash in one too somewhere. Or at least have seen pix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or at least have seen pix.That's certainly a possibility that you mentioned this. Sadly my memory is fucked apparently. My real concern of course is what's on the back. What do you think about the pic I posted? Not sure about the L, but pretty damn sure that's the S in suicide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Almost Famous Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 I think so, but that's just me. The timing of the video shoot was about a month after the UK tour so it's possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SONOFABITCH Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 That is an awesome shirt. I would be sweet if the were recreated and sold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troccoli Posted June 24, 2012 Author Share Posted June 24, 2012 Here's 2 more shots of the shirt. This first pic is from the 88 Japanese tour program:http://troccolitm.com/1stShirt2.JPGThe second picture is from gnrontour.com. Looks like backstage at Donnington 88? The second guy from the left of the picture is wearing the shirt. Don't know who it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Almost Famous Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Isn't that Ronnie?! Duff's security? I believe there's a picture in CHin's picture book, Duff and Ronnie under an airplane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost Famous Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 I'm not 100% sure and can't find my copy of Chin's book right now, I'll find it when I go and take pictures of what I'd like to sell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyler Drama Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 How many of these shirts were made? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troccoli Posted June 27, 2012 Author Share Posted June 27, 2012 How many of these shirts were made?Made for band and crew only, summer of 87. So I'd say anywhere from 10-15? The crew wasn't that big then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyler Drama Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 So there's a 1/15 chance yours was actually worn by Axl, that's pretty sweet. I wonder if there's any way to tell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

troccoli Posted June 27, 2012 Author Share Posted June 27, 2012 True, coulda been worn by a band member! But regardless the rarest GNR shirt hands down. To find another would be a truly astonishing thing. The fact that I even found it blew my mind. Happy hunting! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
