Title: New GNR shirt at Hot Topic
Post by: BurningHills on March 21, 2009, 08:24:31 PM
Just saw it today. It has the new logo on the upper right chest, a grenade on the left that says "HOW ARE YOU?", and the pin says "GOOD MORNING AMERICA."

I don't get it, but it's an interesting shirt nonetheless.

What I look forward to is incorporating the new artwork into our merch and getting some for myself. I think u'll like a lot of it. My vote's for the How Are You grenade and the Sorry automatic rifle artwork on shirts etc.


Interesting times. ;)

I remember Axl saying something on the message board in Dec about the How are you Gernade cover and apparel.

I still don't get the reference, but if Axl approved it - then I'm down with it.  :hihi:

Wonder when the Sorry Assault Rifle shirt will come out.


Title: Re: New GNR shirt at Hot Topic
Post by: gunns1 on March 22, 2009, 03:28:34 AM
Its nice,
but it would of looked better without the Gnr logo, as its not 'centered'

example of what Im talking about,

That's pure awesomeness.

Would make for a great shirt, album cover, single cover...the possibilities are endless.

I'm still going to go out and get this shirt from stupid-ass Hot Topic.

We need that online store up!

Why can't we just get a t-shirt with the actual Chinese Democracy album cover?! :rant: :rant: :rant:


Title: Re: New GNR shirt at Hot Topic
Post by: IKnowWhereIAM on March 23, 2009, 09:23:44 AM
Don't like the 'arrangement'...a more traditional left chest logo, grenade on back, would have been more visually appealing IMO.  I like the artwork, but positioning on the shirt is very 'different' - and message is lost to me...Maybe Axl is going to 'pull the pin' on the 'new' Chinese Democracy tour by going on 'Good Morning America' - and the album/tour will then explode???  Not bitchin' by any means, glad to see new merch...just not my style this time.


Title: Re: New GNR shirt at Hot Topic

'Good Morning America,
how are you?'
with blood droplets on the grenade..

I think thats all there is to get?

It's all part of Axl's evil plan to take over Good Morning America. Putting out the album was the final step in his plan to get out of the music business and start his talk show career  :hihi:

I've thought about that T-Shirt a lot and I need an explaination for it.  After 9/11 and the violence in our schools not to mention the wars, I don't understand this.  I thought, hoped, we were all looking for more non violence.  Axl, what are you trying to say?

I can tell you that shirt won't be allowed to be worn in schools and from a marketing point of view there went the free publicity.

I still don't get it and I'm stuck sitting here singing City Of New Orleans everytime I read the Good morning American, how are you.

Not a real biggie for me just find it a bit strange.

I went to Hot Topic tonight, and almost bought the grenade shirt, but they didn't have it in my size.  I thought it looked much cooler in person.  They did have another one for CD that was really cool, so I got it instead.  That's right... I'm the 30 something year old mom sportin' her GnR shirt to softball practice!   :hihi:

I was at Hot Topic today and in the sale section, I found a kid's GNR tshirt ,that said, " I listen to GNR with my Daddy. Since I don't have any kids, I bought one and put it on one of my large garden statues. It looks so cute!

i think the grenade itself represents the album. the message on it is intended for American music audience. Axl may be wanting to use this piece as a way to explode onto the scene again. we know he likes to make a memorable entrance ("WTTJ" as a show opener is a great example).

i think it also has the same general message as "Guns N Roses" which is a name combined of something very masculine, dangerous, and heavy along with something gentle and soft. the same contrast is seen in the written message (warm welcome) and grenade. the art itself reminds me of modern chinese art but  cant pinpoint why. something about the colors and brush strokes.

I've seen mp3 players looking pretty similar to the ggrenade.

For t shirts, I keep my eye on nearby uniqlo.  8)
