Is it Cool or Tacky to wear a GNR shirt to a GNR concert.

[russtcb]

I used to very much feel that you shouldn't wear the shirt of the band you're going to see to their own concert. Anymore I don't so much care.

[Bumblefeet]

Wll, your gonna buy one there, before the show so why not wear it at it?

[axlrosehunny]

I wont wear the bands shirts to the shows.

However. ?When I go to see them right away. ? I will be wearing my bandana with my beach hat over top of it. ? Sorta like axl at the VMA a few years ago. ?He stole my idea! ?haha. ?

Now is that tacky?

[Verse Chorus Verse]

I don't know, nor care, if it's tacky, but I plan to do it anyway. Who cares what other people think? You probably won't see them again.

[BluesGNR]

It really depends.  People that wouldn't wear it are probably more shallow and feel compelled to fit in by looking different.  It doesn't make sense when you read it, but it doesn't make sense to see it in real life either...

The truth is that I really don't care what people think. I love fashion and I wear what I want. I had the nerve to wear a Hello Kitty Bucket hat to the last GNR show at the Allstate Arena and several people meowed at me.  I just wanted to get an idea of what  people here think.

Ya know what, anyone who says there are rules for what to wear at concerts are fucking idiots. Yes, that does mean you if you a reading this thinking "Fuck I gotta go on here and be cool". WTF are you?? Rockers or fucking poser wannabes? Want a fashion show? fucking go to one and leave concert going to those who enjoy the music, not what others are wearing.

LIfe is a fashion show.

I just bought a vintage tour shirt circa 1988 which has the tour date of the 1st show I ever attended at Giants Stadium. ?I was so lucky to get it at a good price and in MINT condition (24 bucks AND a sz. small which will actually fit me!) and I plan to wear it for sure at one of the shows because it was from the time when I had my 1st experience with GNR.

I almost always wear something GNR related to a show, I don't care if anyone thinks I am tacky. ?At the Hammerstein shows, I was in a bar nearby waiting for the line to disperse and tons of people were there in GNR gear and frankly it brought us together, talking about all the shows we have been to and such.

I don't know why it's "tacky."  I certainly don't think so.

[Bandita]

I don't know why it's "tacky."? I certainly don't think so.

Every show I have been to at least 80-90% of people there had GNR shirts on so I cannot see why it is tacky either.

What I find tacky is the way too old women in skimpy outfits thinking that is gonna get them in with the band though!  I saw a woman in Vegas who was checking in at least at 200 lbs. in a half top with her stomach hanging all over her jeans.  I almost vomited my grey goose and cranberry at the sight.

where'd you get the 1988 shirt? I'm looking for somewhere that i can get a 1988 GNR/ Aerosmith T-shirt in Large

[Layne Staley's Sunglasses]

I saw those women at Inland too.

You mean the white one with Aero Force One and GNR logo on the back that was exclusive to Giants Stadium? That is IMPOSSIBLE to find. ?I used to have it when I was 14 and it got lost somehow after I moved a few years later! ?It was worn to death though, that was my fav shirt ever, now I only have old pics of me in it. ?If anyone ever posts this shirt somewhere I would pay just about ANYTHING for it!

The one I just scored on Ebay was the one with the rape scene but they had it listed somewhat incorrectly so there weren't many bids. ?I have seen the same exact one I won go for 70 or 80 dollars as I have been watching them for a while.

[AxlsRoses]

I wore my "old school" Use your Illusion T-shirt to see VR. I wondered if someone would say something. no one cared.

I don't think anyone cares what you wear.

Thanks for the info, i just want that Aero/guns shirt really badly, 2 of my 3 favorite bands

[AxlReznor]

It's not cool... it's not tacky either.  It's just what I wear.
It sounds like a very "metal fan" thing to do to deliberately not wear a t-shirt for the band you're going to see.  Some of these people have nothing better to do than say, "he's not a real music fan, because he's wearing an GN'R shirt at a GN'R show".  Fuck that... if it bothers you that much don't fucking look at me is what I say.
That and the people who just assume that you're wearing a t-shirt by a band you know nothing about if you're not wearing the band you're there for's t-shirt pisses me off.

[Dr. Blutarsky]

I plan on wearing my GNR shirt when I go.........like wearing your favorite team jersey to a game.

exactly. i hate when people say stuff like "its not cool to wear a shirt of the band you are going to see to their show." when i go to a yankee game i wear a yankee jersey, when i go to a devil game i wear a devils jersey, so if im going to a gnr show, and i have gnr stuff that i wear regularly, ill wear it to the show. to me it shows that you really are a big fan of that band.
