I apologize in advance if this has already been posted, but what was your very first band shirt and when did you get it?
For me it was a sparkly AC/DC logo babydoll my parents got for me when I was in grade one haha
First band shirt was a fake Linkin Park one I bought in the Czech Republic in 2004 or 2005. Dunno about the first metal related one, might have been Slayer, but I'm not too sure
Bootleg Number of the Beast tshirt i got in Portugal on a family holiday, quickly followed by a hand me down Live After Death from one of my dad's pals. I loved both of them. Must have been about 86 or 87.
Not exactly sure but I'd say between a Led-Zeppelin I shirt and an AC/DC-Back In Black shirt like most people. My first metal shirt was an Iron Maiden-Somewhere In time one, I also picked up a live After Death hoodie up at the same time.
This one, I bought it in 2006, but as of July 2011 I don't own it anymore seeing as I don't really wear it out, so I gave it to charity. I kinda miss it come to think of it heh.
The year was 1987.
The Band: Motörhead.
The motive: snaggletooth (GIMME SOME MOTÖRHEAD)
The size was: L (!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
Today it´s XXL :-(
I had a Metallica shirt before I ever listened to them or was a metalhead. It had the old guys face from the Enter Sandman video. I dunno how the fuck I ended up with it or where it came from.
First ones I bought on my own though were GNR Appetite for Destruction and a KISS shirt that had the Destroyer cover art on the front and the back said 76-96 20 Years of Destruction or something similar
hmm fuck i really need to think about that, but that time, i started listening even more pagan stuff etc, unlike today where i listen more speed heavy and thrash stuff, so i think it was the AMon amarth, pure viking shirt!
i think my long lost Led Zeppelin shirt wen i was 12 first metal related was Gorefest Rise to Ruin early 2007 there fore only hard rock and a fey linkin park shirts i believe
I'm actually shocked that you can all remember this! Holy crap.
I honestly can't remember at all. It was probably a Metallica shirt, or maybe a Mudvayne L.D. 50 shirt or an old Black Sabbath shirt I bought at Hot Topic. Probably around age 13 or 14.
My uncle bought me the first three or four pieces,in 1988,I was 13:
-Metallica-Jump in the Fire
-Running Wild-?Logo with Dragonhead?
-Helloween-Walls of Jericho
-Venom-?A skull with snake?
A Led Zepplin bootleg from a market stall, one of those horrible duplicated prints where the back was identical but in black and white haha, I think I was about 14?
12 years old, Nirvana girlie shirt, the one with the face.
First proper metal shirt was a Cradle of Filth girlie, which I picked up in a shop called Devil's Records in Valencia, aged 13.
Napalm Death - Campaign for Musical Destruction European Tour Shirt 1992 by the age of 16...that was at least the first one I remember...could´ve have bought some others in the months before
