Do You Always Buy GN'R Merchandise During Concerts?

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. 

Are you talking about the pop-up at John Varvatos?

First 50 got a choice of a free tee, you weren’t restricted from what I recall. I got the NITL bloody bullet and purchased the Fighter Jet with my own funds.

I bought a shirt at the Vegas shows because I wanted to. Then I bought a shirt at the Detroit more or less becuase I felt like I should. I didn't even like it but I bought it because I felt like I should. 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. 

Why did you feel like you needed to? 🤔

I also have never bought any t-shirts or merch at a gnr show. If they'd released the Chinese democracy red hand t-shirt I'd have bought that, or the hand grenade one in a greater then I'd have got one... But the other tshirts and merch has done nothing for me, and I already own gnr tshirts.

I dunno really, lol. They opened the tour in my home town, they sold out the football stadium, I threw an all day pre-party at my house.... All of those added up to "I gotta buy the shirt, right?" in my head at the time lol

Ah! I get ya! I thought you meant that you owed it to the band or something 😅 more so to just commemorate the day!

I bought a shirt in 2017. Never really buy shirts at concerts. Not a band T guy anymore. Plus I find the fit isn't what I'd prefer so I'm generally never the happiest with my shirt afterwards. But I get it, they wanna make the most money so they use the cheapest option.

Do you have a pic? Would love to see that shirt!

I actually went looking online for it yesterday because I want to buy another one. Here's what the front looks like:
https://www.umrock.com/men-s-robin-finck-t-shirt-black-cotton-p-262355.html

then on the very bottom on the back, it says "Guns N' Roses" in the lower case 'chinese' font

Never bought a single piece of merch, just some books and collected up to 40 bootlegs over the years. Maybe that's why the box set is so uninteresting to me. :lol:

Thanks for that. Found it on amazon and rockabillia but they are sold out. I feel like I recall seeing this at the 2002 show merch stand, but I could be wrong. 

Would love to find one too. Is this site legit? Think it also has the Gn’R 2002 logo on the back?

I have no idea honestly, but I'm seriously considering ordering one from there.

Thanks man. The site is a bit suspicious. The contact information is a gmail account. Don’t see any reviews online

Yeah, I thought the same thing. I'll probably give it a go and see what happens. I'll let you know how it goes.

I'll buy stuff if it looks good. Passed on the UCAP stuff in 2012 because Philly (the show I was at) wasn't on the shirts, and I wasn't likely to wear a shirt that was just a woman's thonged ass. Got a Not In This Lifetime Jersey Devil shirt at MetLife as soon as I could find a stand that had em in my size though.
