Kind of got lazy with my vest for a while. I've taken almost everything off the front except for the studs, the Necronomicon patch and the patches above the pockets. I plan to rework the back because I'm getting a little bored with it as well. The photo with the Possessed patch are the future plans I have for the back. I have yet to start sewing...
Starting to look a little less like my beginnings and more like my favorites from then and now but I'm ok with that, and that's what matters. :p

i dont like most of the bands on your jacket, but it looks amazing! well done!

that is a fucking amazing jacket,5/5

I thank you both! Hope you like the finished product even more.

Thanks man!

I like the way you put spikes around that bathory patch!
Awesome vest!

Thank you!

Awesome, 5/5! But couldn't you add a pic of the front?

Thanks! The front needs to be redone before I post a picture of it though. There are a few patches that I want to take off and replace.

Best vest I've ever seen.

Thank you my dear! I can't wait to see yours when it's finished!

Somebody made mistacke - wrong - Venom never was BLACK METAL - two ( jacket brilliant ) will be problem going on concert in - tree DISSECTION death metal , change patch on reall BLACK METAL's hordes and will be great !!!666 !!!

It's not really supposed to be a black metal theme as much as it is to pay homage to all the bands I got into when I first discovered extreme metal, hence the title "My Roots."
I must also disagree about your statement on Venom. However, I thank you for your positive comment.

venom may not be very black metal, but they do that whole satanic lyrical theme goin on there hance they wher among the first extreme metal band. as for sound, they sound alot like the new wave of british heavy metal bands.

I consider them to be very black metal. Things may have changed within the genre along the way and over the years but that doesn't invalidate what they were. That's the way I see it though. Here's why; all the elements of their music back then are present in the music (black metal in general) today. It's just done in different ways but it's still there.

agreed back in the day, venom and mercyful fate were as black metal as it got. but to todays standards they have nothing to do with black metal (sound wise at least) Venom has every right to be on this vest. and did someone above say that dissection was death metal??

I tend to get into the "Venom isn't black metal" argument here and there, myself. I don't understand how a band that is so obviously fundamental to that genre can even be denied. Sound (genres, etc) is ever evolving but imo, it started with them.

I suppose it will always be a matter of opinion. Mine will always be what I have previously stated and I don't believe it to be any other way. The lyrics were blasphemous (and much more cleverly so than almost all of today's black metal bands) and still had the dark atmosphere that it does today. Again, it was done differently but it was still there. There probably weren't as many people laughing at it back then as there are today either. Shame how the genre has made quite a joke out of itself through it's "progression."

It just depends on the way one defines "black metal". I myself also define it by the sound, so to me, Venom and Mercyful Fate are simply heavy metal. Others define it by the "whole package" and the message, then they are definitely black metal. Either way, both were important to black metal. So I think both groups are right.

Anyway are genres just a way to sort and organize music, but that's it! Genre wars are so dumb...

BTW the last sentence doesn't refer to your comment, just to the genre discussion in general. I'm totally your opinion that it's about opinion.

Haha, it's cool. I didn't think you were dumping on me about genre differences. I used to think calling the music anything other than just "metal" was rubbish because I felt like it somewhat implied separation between the 'heads. But there are bands so different from each other that they probably should be labeled.

Fucken' awesome!

Thank you very much!

Sick jacket! 5 flames, would like to see the front!

I appreciate that! Shouldn't be too much longer before I'm finished re-doing the front. I just got some nice patches today but I still need to snag a Nocturnal Graves patch before I can finish it.

Pretty decent. Some of the bands on there are pretty mediocre.

Most of them put out their best work at the beginning of their careers but I don't know if I'd go that far.

No band on there is mediocre. Their latest albums are crap but in their debuts they were great bands.

TOP NOTCH JACKET!!!!

Awesome vest..! I love the Venom's Black Metal patch and the way you've put the spikes and studs..

By the way, the jacket is made of what..? Dark denim..?

Thanks! The jacket is a levis black denim.

holy crap, how much do u like venom? youvve got like three venom patches on there

Haha, Venom is my all time favorite band. There's a couple more on the front which I have yet to complete.

I like how the Venom - Black Metal backpatch is surrounded by black metal patches. Very good looking vest, love what you did with the spikes as well!

This is FUCKING BADASS

are the three venom patches really necessary?

why not ?

why not? And they're even tastefully arranged. Some people just randomly throw crap on their jackets but you can obviously tell he put some thought into the arrangement of his favorite band. Was your comment really necessary?

Problem officer?

Officer? Umm...no! No problem at all. Just admiring your most kick ass vest. Now let's see the front of it, huh?

Sorry. That comment was meant for Chief Inspector Terroristic Ham-whatever the fuck his name is, who seems to have nothing positive to say about ANYTHING he's commented on yet has nothing of his own to show at all. Probably one of those kids that saw a documentary a few months ago and thinks he knows more than the rest of us.

lol @ Chief Inspector!

it just feels like a poser move to put so many patches of one band, when there are so many greats that are not even represented on here.....

HAHAHAHA a "poser move?" Your talking about the way his patches are arranged. Do posers arrange their patches different from true metal heads? This is a great vest, if he has more than one venom patch then theres a great possibility that...he really likes venom...he doesnt have to have every single band hes ever heard on his vest.

I'm glad you pointed that out Phosphorous. Clearly one would have to for somebody like Terroristic.
@Terroristic meat hammer, not that I should really have to justify anything to the likes of you, but just because my vest isn't represented to your approval doesn't mean that the music is any less valuable to me. So why don't you try developing an individual thought process and take a look at yourself before you call ANYBODY a poser. Or at least post something of your own before giving your needless two cents about the work other people have put into their own vests, and if your vest is completely covered in patches then I will pay you money if you can name more than three songs by most of those bands.

Anyway man, your vest is very awesome, personal, original and nice to see.
If the others don't like this or try to annoy: fuck off and die!

man fuck off I just said you should have put more patches instead of using so many venoms...

Terroristic-Hammer put your own jacket first or something at this site before you come here and tell that others jacket sucks. I bet you dont even have jacket or even one cd becouse you are some kind of poser fag. by the way your jacket is cool and it`s great if you have many patches of a same band i do the same but instead i have lots of megadeth and i will put more megadeth patches.

Fuck you all! I just said that he has too many venom patches, not that it sucks! I was telling the guy he should have put other bands that he missed. By the way your jacket has the same problem too many patches of same band!

Whoa. Lets chill out. All the angry music we listen to is taking its toll on us. We should all listen to Kansas for alittle while. Carry on my wayward son.

dude you must be seriously the most gayist guy i have ever known and if you think that 3 patches of a same band is too much you mush be retard. Many patches for the same band in your jacket just means that you respect them and you like their music more than anything. so you can go listen your poser music and go sew your jacket only a one patch of a same band and Shut up !!

what a bunch of pussies I just give some criticism and you all start to bitch.

Fuck who cares what terroristichammerings said,its what he thinks.Ha all of you fags just need to shut up and stop bitching!and what makes terroristichammer a poser?do any of you know him?i dont think so

..

And when your criticized back you get insulted. you were the one who brought up being a poser to begin with. What do you expect when you criticize other people, for them to take it? If you dont want everyone insulting you dont talk shit, end of story. Not too many people on here actually know eachother in real life, so in the end its just a waste of time. Thats why i dislike the internet.

One of the best battle jackets here!!!! Nice touch and very personal, awesome!! 5/5

Much thanks to all of you with anything positive to say.

Great vest, i really like the way you have arranged your patches, and you have killer bands in there too! \m/

this looks badass! awesome bands, lotsa studs, just great! eager to see what the front will look like :) 5/5

I really want to see the front, this vest is sick.

.

Thanks to all for your positive feedback. I really want to post a picture of the front but I want to have it finished before I do so.

Killer vest, i really like the way you have placed your patches, and all those studs are all in the right places, at least for my personal taste, it must have taken a lot of time to put all those studs, that's some heavy metal dedication right there, keep it up, 5 flames from me as well!

"Fuck off" "Fuck you all" "...the most gayest guy" "what a bunch of pussies" "all of you fags just need to shut up"....jesus christ, this site has become really popular with 13 yr old homophobic babies whoses balls haven't dropped yet and must therefore look to a metal apparel site to make them look tough. Post your collection, Terroristic. Let's see what you've got, big boy. Probably got nothing because you're a pansy troll who can't form together a real debate as to why 3 patches is too much and must resort to name calling. I bet BeastofDamnation is your bff sitting right next to you in the same computer desk chair logging in to your rescue. I'd say it was pretty much a big fucking FAIL.

you're a fool I gave a good point as to why so many patches should be thought out.... your just upset because cack is your bff and probably put you up to this

wtf i don't even know him.Ha I just think its stupid how everyone reacted to what he said.
By the way cack i think your vest would of looked better if you put more spike studs,my opinion.

@BeastofDamnation, I can respect that. There actually will be more spikes around the Bathory patch and more studs on the bottom when I get back around to it. I'm still getting the front together.
@Metallicane, LOL good stuff.

*sign* you're so right! That really starts to suck here. That's the price the site pays for becoming popular...

hahaha cool a item with 2 commentary pages, btw metallicane, funny shit that about the balls who haven't dropped yet, hahaha

its mostly people arguing about what I said. I know 3 patches are not too extreme and there are worse offenders on here but this guy missed alot of other great bands he could of put on his jacket to make it coooler. When I told him every person on here decided to start rippin on the comment...

Check your inbox, and I didn't "miss" anything. As the description clearly states, this vest was meant to pay tribute to MY roots. Like I said in the P.M. it would be one thing if you were being somewhat constructive in your criticism, but you favor insulting people instead.

And I'm sure that when he knows and listens to that many bands that the jacket is too small for all of them, there soon won't be too many bands with more than one patch. But it isn't about putting on as many "cool" bands as possible, it's about putting on the bands he loves.

And maybe he knows an awful lot of bands but just loves venom that much that he want's to put on that many patches of them! Then that's cool too.

But, to be honest, I also kinda get you point. I think if you had formulated your first post a bit differently (something like "I wouldn't put on three patches of the same band, but however...") the whole discussion wouldn't even have started...

But maybe you always just give nonconstructive comments and this one was just the last straw, I don't know that, then I understand the others attacking you here for almost nothing...

Thanks for the welcome! :) I see your collection has grown. Killer Bruce Dickinson shirt (I was there too and I also do not remember any merch sold). Great Chaos AD, Annihilator shirts and that utterly awesome Doris jersey. I've been musing about getting one fsince they brought it in their shop but I hate the postage...
