jdfdemocracy1979 Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 (edited) The shirt is awesome but there are people selling them on eBay for $34 give or take if you go to the official site they are $12.00 a piece when you get to check out if anyone is interested! http://www.luckybrand.com/punk/190365322111.html Edited January 14, 2017 by jdfdemocracy1979 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Len Cnut Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 I was talking to a friend of mine the other day, just offhandedly, whilst i was on Jimi Hendrixes website browsing for a good t shirt and i was like 'why are shirts so massively overpriced now?' and the response i got was quite interesting, though I'm not sure how accurate. Apparently these things aren't really marketed to fans of the music, i.e. your common average working class person who happens to be a fan of said artist because your common average working class person isn't really a fan of that kind of music anymore, it is now more marketed towards middle class hipsters with a fair bit of cash and they are the target audience for this stuff, more money in it. Dunno how true that is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunno how true that is. Yeah. It's true. That's why H&M and other big brands sell Guns N Roses, Iron Maiden, Metallica, AC/DC etc shirts. It's fucking ridiculous.

If it is true its not so much anyones fault so much as a sign that times have just changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon Comstock Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 That company made a bunch of GNR shirts in April, I bought that white one while walking around a mall in Vegas. The tag says "GUNS N ROSES by Lucky Brand, copyright 2016 Black Frog Entities" so I guess they're official, I think they made some re-prints of UYI shirts too.

ChristmasFnatic Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 I saw GN'R AFD logo shirt at both H&M and Zara Men, though Zara's got concert dates at the back, from '88. Both are still cheaper($20-$25) than getting one in the official GN'R store($40). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunno how true that is. there is a "test" i did fow a while some years ago when everyone seemed to have a ramones t-shirt when i saw anyone on the street wearing a ramones t-shirt id ask said person who they like better: johnny or dee dee i fond out that it is very likely that said person wearing ramones songs has no idea about who is dee dee which proves your friend's point === oh, and when you find someone who actually knows dee dee, its always fun to have a conversation about how much dee dee rocks (not having a dee dee/ramones song is likely the biggest flaw of spaghetti, he was the izzy stradlin of ramones before izzy stradlin even existed!)

dontdamnmeuyi2015 Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 Ebay sellers want to make money. They buy stuff for cheap and then sell it for a profit. When GNR were in Vegas the last residency, there was the same guy selling the t shirts for about $60 when you know he only paid about $35. Every seller on ebay does it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
