AxlIsGod. Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 I would typically pick up one shirt per tour/run but the show specific stuff on NITL got me in. As long as the design isn't horrible (download 18...) I usually get a shirt and litho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old_school_gnr_fan Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 I bought two t-shirts at the show I attended in July 2016. One of them was the April Fool's Troubador shirt, which had been reduced in price to $20. The other was a venue-specific tee (Foxboro, MA), which set me back $40. I think I've worn that shirt only once. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soon Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 I dont, merch just doesn't interest me and I choose to wear mostly used clothing for reasons that are important to me. But at the Toronto NITL my friends couldn't wrap their heads around me not buying a shirt and I could tell they thought it meant that I didn't value the experience with them or whatever. So I bought a shirt along with them. Im that guy who impulsively cuts the sleeves off of t-shirts and scoops the neck out a little. Yeah, they were horrified to see that the following week, lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then it sat in my closet for over a year before I finally gave it to @ZoSoRose Lesson learned. I probably won't buy another piece of GNR merch at a show unless they're touring for a new album and the shirt is a tie in with that. Wear it all the time. Wore it yesterday in fact I'm only interested in lithographs. I generally stopped buying tees at shows a long time ago. I did get a few NITL ones, though, since the tour was important to me I do wish i bought the blue Chicago mob skeleton shirt. I have the litho which is really cool Edited October 23, 2018 by ZoSoRose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tori72 Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 (edited) Never bought any merch on a GnR concert. I don’t think their visuals look good. Other bands do it better. GnR’s choice of colors especially, also, the lack of graphic-ness of their visuals... not to my taste. It’s all too overloaded. Sorry not sorry Edited October 23, 2018 by Tori72 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Its Tino Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 I buy shirts with the concert date and city. Blows my mind watching people buy tons of shit you can get anytime on Amazon or at Target, like an AFD shirt. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom-Ass Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 I bought a t-shirt and Foam Middle Finger in Vegas but nothing the last two shows that I went to. Never bought anything at the 90's shows I went to either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kwick1 Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 I've only bought shirts from 3 concerts I've been to. AC/DC 1981, GnR/ Rolling Stones 1989 and GnR '91. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should sell it, seeing as it's ugly as fuck. That Detroit shit is the only piece of GN'R merch I've bought firsthand since the reunion. I think 99% of the designs, even for the event shirts, are hilariously cringey. That said, I did get @Amir to grab me the Japanese tour shirt with the swords n' roses. That, and the Tokyo Godzilla shirt are by far the best designs of the whole tour. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amir Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 (edited) Still bitter that all those Tokyo tees sold out super early, even by 12pm on the 2nd day :/ Just realised I haven't bought any merch on NITL; came close to buying the Prague "Pravda" tee but was a little short of cash and they didn't take card.

Its so colorful! Its become one of my favorite litho designs, although I think the "FORD Field" and then a Corvette is sort of silly! Should have had an old Ford GT40!

Amir Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 Has anyone ever bought any of the bootleg versions of the NITL tees? I keep getting tempted by the Godzilla ones on eBay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Black Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 Fun fact= I went to the pop-up store in London and because I was one of the first so-many, I received a free T-shirt. It was the ugliest tour T-shirt that they had on sale at the merch booths of the gigs. So I went to one of the merch booths with my shirt and said I regretted buying that one and was able to exchange it for the local date one. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
