Not us. Ever noticed the merch produced in the Illusions era were much more creative? or even stuff in 2006. 11 hours ago, Bitchisback said: The same people who complain about this stuff are the same people who complain when the band is playing arenas instead of football stadiums or complain that they aren't as relevant anymore. Everyone wants them to be the biggest band in the world and then when they sign big licensing deals they also complain lol. Like at some point you have to get over it. For fucks sake you can buy a misfits shirt at H&M right now. This is what the biggest bands in the world do, license out their logo to other companies because the music industry is a business. So... Yeah... Here is not H&M... I will complain as much as I want. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post RussTCB Posted May 15, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted May 15, 2022 Stating facts and complaining are two different things. A total of no one has complained when tour venues were downsized or that the band isn't as relevant as they could be. People have stated those facts, but no one has complained about it. As far as this particular merch line goes, it is what it is. It's ugly as hell to me, but I'm sure it'll appeal to someone. Luckily, none of us are forced to buy anything we don't like, so everyone wins. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see anyone walking around in things like that in my city!

Gordon Comstock Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 When I was like 18/19 I had jeans with patches all over them, but I only wore them to concerts. And they sure as shit didn't cost hundreds of dollars. 1 hour ago, RussTCB said: A total of no one has complained when tour venues were downsized or that the band isn't as relevant as they could be.

I don't know anyone who prefers seeing a band in a stadium vs an arena, and I don't remember anyone here complaining about them playing arenas. I remember the opposite, actually - GNR were laughed at on here for booking stadiums in 2020-21. They had their moment in 2016 but I don't think many on here want or expect them to be 'the biggest band in the world' lol. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if some of this stuff is ''made to order"? The pictures of those Don't Cry tracksuits for instance were just logos superimposed over stock images of the clothes- they clearly hadn't been printed. I wonder if they just stick it up, then print up however many orders they get and if it's minimal.....no big loss? The markup on them is also massive. Basically, I have no idea!

This is the first I've seen them on anything recent. That was either one of the last official UYI tour shirts, or a very early ‘94 shirt. The Skin & Bones tour had a shirt with photos of Axl, Slash, and Duff on the front, and Gilby, Dizzy, and Matt on the back. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bullshit. I've never complained about them playing arenas instead of stadiums or not being relevant anymore. I don't even complain about the setlist. I complain about the lack of music, expensive tickets and toy trucks. But this merch is on a lower level than the toy truck madness. People complain because GNR could do almost every fan a favor by releasing music but instead they sell out themselves on a bad way. What's that bullshit?

What's that bullshit? It doesn't even have to be 'new' music - plenty of people here are more interested in the UYI box than a new album. They could please almost all of their fans and make some decent money by releasing all the old concert recordings for streaming/download. They could probably sell the UYI tour documentary footage to a streaming service for millions. But they didn't even bother to capitalize on a NITL live album. The tacky merch isn't a big deal, it just adds to the joke that is the current band. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
