I bought one of those, a black and red one. You can get them from imosh.com (or charlesmansonfanclub.com)

Some Japanese site has all of Axl's old shirts but I don't think they ship internationally.

i think there's nothing cool to put that sort of clothes, and i remember
sharon tate was pregnant when she was wildly assassinated by "the manson family".

I believe the "Charlie don't surf" quote is actually from Apocolypse Now and was not originally in reference to Charlie Manson.  On one hand I like the slogan, but I wouldn't want to give money to someone responsible for mass murder.  I guess I don't know where the money goes....?

You have the quote correct. It was litterally a mention that the Viet Cong don't surf.

As far as Charles Manson making any money off of the murders, that isn't possible in the United States. You aren't allowed to profit from a crime like that. Any Royalties that would be going his way (ie.. Look at you Game) go to the Families of the victims.

I would think the money would go to the victims family as restitution.

Didn't the one Axl wore say Kill Your Idols on the back?

You?re mistaking Charles Manson for Jesus Christ.

The royalties may go to the victims families, but what about the profits from the shirts, merchandise, etc itself?  Charlie might not get the mone but some sick f0cker making the tshirts does?

Axl wore Manson shirts and Christ shirts in concert, but I'm pretty sure he had a Manson shirt that said Kill Your Idols on the back

I think you are correct.  I saw him in concert with a Manson/Charlie Don't Surf shirt, but I think I've seen pics of a Manson/Kill your idols shirt also.

The reference was to Charlie, meaning the north vietnamese, thats what the military use to call them. In that scene from the movie they were stating that charlie don't surf the point they were at.

The "Kill Your Idols" T-shirt had a neon-green silk-screen of Christ on the front.  My brother had one in the early '90s.  There was no "Kill Your Idols" Manson shirt.  To the best of my knowledge, the only Manson shirt Axl wore was the "Charlie Don't Surf" one.

Where can I get those shirts?  And I mean the kill your idols, which was ONLY on the Jesus shirt.  Axl had good taste and humor in selecting t-shirts.

If I'm not mistaken, the Kill Your Idols shirt was worn at the Paris show, June of '92.  Didn't he get it from someone in the crowd?  Cool fuckin' shirt.   : ok:

Plus, don't feel guilty wearing the Manson shirt.  The money doesn't go to Chuck himself.
