Mysteron Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 So, converting the comments into a poll, the overall opinion is that the new Media Crew have to post a picture of themself with a Christmas jumper on.Fair play. Let it snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HubbaBubba Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 Why are they releasing it to the public for worldwide shipping so close to Xmas? They're fucking clueless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Sabbath Posted December 15, 2013 Author Share Posted December 15, 2013 The problem with the "sweater" is it's just a cheapo sweatshirt with a giant silkscreened FAKE sweater design on the front. It's not a real sweater. I'm guessing that 95% of people who have viewed it assumed it's a real knitted sweater. Yet another MASSIVE FAIL on the part of Team Brazil.Not sure about the Breaking Bad or Slayer ones, but Metalica's are $70 and then their shipping for their store kills it even more.$60 isn't awful. I paid $80 for my Yeezus Tour sweatshirt when I saw Kanye The quality is amazing, though. Metallica has REAL knit sweaters. The GNR version just has a giant plastic silkscreen on the front. Imagine how that would make you sweaty and stick to your skin. Blech. Hardly It's obvious that it's not a real sweater, even besides the fact that it says sweatshirt Hardly a massive fail.Also, I highly doubt it's all one giant screen-printed design. It's probably done the same as Powerage's Breaking Bad sweatshirt, which (correct me if I'm wrong P5), doesn't look like one giant screen-print.Yeah, Metallica's a real knit sweaters. Imagine how itchy and scratchy that would make you feel?People will find anything to pick apart though, I suppose.Would you wear a t-shirt with a tuxedo screen printed on it to a wedding?That comparison makes no sense.

For Guns it is a great marketing exercisePeople here chat about buying, other people who possibly do not chat, buyThat is good for Guns to know.

bacardimayne Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 Not even a real sweater and they charge 60 for it? What the fuck? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Sabbath Posted December 15, 2013 Author Share Posted December 15, 2013 Not even a real sweater and they charge 60 for it? What the fuck?They don't label it as a sweater you dumb hooray for tolerance!.Like Powerage said, people pay $40 for shirts at the shows all the time, so $60 for a sweatshirt isn't that bad, in my opinion.I paid the outrageous $80 for my Yeezus Tour sweatshirt.

HubbaBubba Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 @mysteronFair point, but it can only be an exercise. Even if they get the shirts for free, the profit on 150 for a guy that gets a mill for a wedding appearance is always gonna be pocket change.

I stand by that statement.That isn't worth the beating that the sweater is, but I guess if you want to record someone beating you for wearing it, I'll still watch it.

Val22 Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 I'm surprised the shirts sold out so quickly. I really wanted the Axl one.Maybe they'll get more for the after Christmas sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coma16 Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 (edited) Did any forum members snag any and have they received it yet?Post pics if you have any. Edited January 15, 2014 by Coma16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RussTCB Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 Did any forum members snag any and have they received it yet?Was just wondering about that last night. I don't think anyone here got in on it. I logged into Nightrain soon after it all went down and didn't see anyone there who said they got in on it either. I'd be curious to know if anyone here did though and if they received anything yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
