It's been a while since I uploaded another update. I've redone the back (to be honest several times)^^ which took me months. I lately put a lot of work into it, replaceing patches and do some overlays. Since I did not want to cover up the bandnames or essential artworks, I cut into the patches to make them better fit together.
It is far from being finished, i am not even completely sure whether it all stays that way.^^ The Front is still under construction, but I'm gathering stuff diligently.^^ And for most of it I'm pretty satisfied with how it turned out.
Towards my choice of bands, I guess I'll never be #Trve_Kvlt material anyway :'-(

That vest must be huge!!

Well, its size Large. But through the layer of patches and the Anaal Nathrakh Backpatch on the side the form of the vest is a little distorted. So technically I think some of whats on the pictures is part of the front.^^

Great vest! Love the diversity in bands!
19Philthy16 on
Thanks a lot, man! I guess you did not find a lot bands you like on my vest either, right? :D I did not get it as symmetrical and eye-pleasing as your beauty, I've realized now why so many vest have a backpatch, it really helps to make a layout symmetrical!^^ But I'm quite satisfied with my work. :)

Well, it's not as true kult as mine, hahaha, that one cracked me up!:-) Actually I wanted to do the same as you, because I have so many bands I want to put on my vest and it's a small vest so not much room, but I decided against it when I found the official embroidered Manowar backpatch. Couldn't pass it up.:-) Don't know that it's less eye-pleasing, it pleases my eyes plenty.;-) Love the Dark Funeral -Load combo and all the shape work you did for it. Bandwise, well what can I say, I love Blind Guardian, Manowar, Iron Maiden, Led Zeppelin, Motörhead and Metallica (but not those albums;-), I bought Load when it came out without hearing it first and was really disappointed so that's a childhood trauma;-)). And there's a lot of stuff I never heard before, so... And my wife loves Slipknot, Green Day, System Of A Down, Mastodon and The Offspring and I love my wife, so there's that...;-) You should be satisfied, killer jacket, great work! Have a good one! Cheers!

Thanks for your comment, man! That really means a lot! :) I think if I had found a backpatch when I planned to do the jacket, I would have gone for it, too. Haha, yeah, I've read some comments the other day about odd band choices, which came to my mind, when I took picture of my vest as well.^^ Haha, you're not even the first one telling me about his childhood trauma with Load. :D I I have to admit, I'm not really into it, either, but I always loved the cover-artwork! I gave Metallica a little more space, its one of those bands that acompany me for a long time. :) I really enjoyed your comment, man! Its nice to have open-minded people like you around!! Thanks a lot for the flames! Take care!

:-D You're welcome. I salute you for having the balls to be your own man doing your own thing without being affraid what other people might think, for not following the latest fads and for not being this trüe kült-fuck that only listens to the most underground shit in order to make himself believe he's better than everyone else. C u around! Viel Spass und Vergnügen!;-)
19Philthy16 on
Wow, thank you, man! You cannot imagine how much this means to me! :) Honestly, thanks a lot! God damn, my dutch is a little rusty^^ Dank u wel, slaap lekker! :D (Hope you live in the dutch speaking part of Belgium, my french is a lot worse :D
Chainbreaker on
Wow, your dutch is flawless! Yes, you guessed right I'm from the flemish part of the country.:-) But you forgot about the part of Belgium where they speak german.;-)
19Philthy16 on
Thanks! I have a friend living in Nijmegen, I always beg him to teach me something, I totally love dutch! :)
I didn't know that there was a whole part, I always thought that the border regions, like Liege were speaking german. Actually geography and stuff like that isn't my strong suit :D
Chainbreaker on
Never was my strong suit either.:-) Yeah, there is, but it's too small a part to mention. Been to Nijmegen once to a festival, nice city! And I prefer the german language over the dutch one, but they're tied pretty close together having a common ancestral language and all.
19Philthy16 on
To me most dutch sounds like a drunk version of german :D And they pretty often use words that sound similar to some german ones, but have a slightly different meaning.^^ Like "lekker", which would be translated delicious. Do you actually speak german fluently? I once saw some posters of that festival, I think Maiden and Slayer were headlining! It seems to be quiet a big one. I just went to a smaller show there, but yes, it really is a nice town!

Ich versuche es, aber dass isst schon ziemlich lange her dass Ich noch Deutsch an der Schule hätte.:-) Das meiste habe Ich aber gelernt in meiner Jugend durch das Fernsehen mit shows wie Löwenzahn, Siebenstein, die Sendung mit der Maus, Wetten dass? und Bud Spencer-Films.:-) In meiner Kinderzeit gab es nur 7 Fernsehsender und die beste Shows gab es auf ARD, ZDF und WDR.
Dass war das Arrow Rock Festival aber Ich denke nicht dass das noch existiert.
Ja, aber geil bedeutet doch etwas gans anderes auf Deutsch und auf Niederländisch.:-D
19Philthy16 on
Wow, also jetzt bin ich sprachlos! :D Das ist nahezu perfekt! Ich hätte gerne eine weitere Sprache neben Englisch, die ich richtig sprechen kann. Ich hatte nur drei Jahre Spanisch in der Schule, aber ich kann gar nichts mehr davon. Haha, ich habe noch nie gehört, dass jemand außerhalb von Deutschland deutsches Fernsehen schaut! :) Ich habe aber auch so ähnlich richtig englisch sprechen gelernt, hatte zwar viel in der Schule, aber das meiste habe ich auch über Serien und Videos gelernt.
Ja, bei Arrow Rock klingelt was bei mir! Das war aber schon 2014 das ich da auf dem Konzert war und das Plakat gesehen habe, aber ich meine, es gibt da noch ein größeres Festival.
Was meinst du mit "geil"? :D
Chainbreaker on
:-D Hahaha, danke vielmals! Ja, Spanisch hätte Ich auch 3 Jahre an der Schule aber weiss Ich auch nichts mehr davon ausser vielleicht: "Hola chica guapa!" "Dos cervezas por favor!" Und für danach: "Donde estan los servicios?".;-)
Ja, Bud Spencer hört sich ja 100 mal besser an auf Deutsch. "Drechskerl!", "Ganove!", "Arschloch!":-)
Habe mal auf Internet geschaut und Ich denke du meinst FortaRock Nijmegen.
:-D Geil bedeutet sexuell erregt auf Niederländisch also sag dass bitte nicht gegen die Holländische Mädchen.:-D
19Philthy16 on
Ich glaube "Cervezas por favor" ist wahrscheinlich auch das wichtigste, was man jemals brauchen wird! :D
Haha, ich hab ewig keine Bud Spencer und Terrence Hill Filme geschaut, aber ich glaube, die würde ich mir auch auf Deutsch anschauen. Ich liebe die Stimme von Bud Spencer: " Haha, da lacht das Herz, wenn's was zu fressen gibt! " So viele Klassiker! :)
Jo, FortaRock, genau das war's!
Alles klar, gut zu wissen!^^ Haha, ich hab mal von einem Studenten aus Ecuador gehört, dass man als deutscher niemals ein spanischen Mädchen nach "Feuer" fragen soll! Das wird nämlich gleich ausgesprochen wie "folla", übersetzt "ficken" und hat schon zu so mancher Schlägerei geführt! :D
