Iron Maiden - "Beast on the Road" 1982 tour shirt (bootleg)

metal_thrashing_dadFri, 17/05/2013 - 19:42

This shirt is nothing like the official "Beast on the Road" shirt that my good body Fuggle74 posted here at TSS: http://tshirtslayer.com/tshirt-or-longsleeve/iron-maiden-beast-road-us-t....
But as my other good body Meaningless said, it is a good way to own a great shirt (even if it is a bootleg) without having to pay $300+!!! And the quality is really great!!!

Nice... but are there differences so you can seperate the original from the repress ??? Personally i think they should add or change something in comparison to the original; even if its a minor detail... that would be fair to collectors who have the original.... still a killer shirt !!!!

metal_thrashing_dad on Fri, 17/05/2013 - 21:23

As Fuggle74 posted on the official shirt, the differnce is the trademark sign (TM) under the Iron Maiden logo on the back of the shirt. Take care my friend, cheers!!!

ah, i didn't read that yet... cool, i like that !!!! It's great that stuff is available again, but it would suck if thieves and scams get an opportunity to rip-off people selling this kind of stuff as originals..... this is what i like about this site: this kind of info is important !!! Thanks for sharing that, cheers my friend !!!

metal_thrashing_dad on Fri, 17/05/2013 - 21:36

It's cool to find that kind of good quallity bootlegs on the ebay but, as it was mentioned a lot of times here on TSS, i think it is time for the bands to start reprint some of their old classic designs and tour shirts!!!

yeah... or come up with new interesting designs. When i look at that stuff Fuggle74 is uploading, i can only say that most new Maiden shirts are boring !!! I said it before as comment to one of his amazing uploads: back then they did different designs for different legs of one tour... and all were killer !!! These days you got bands who even don't have proper touring merch... it's nice to have all that old stuff again; but it's better to create now the collectables of tommorrow !!!! Well, i just bought some killer Nifelheim shirts that might be that !!!!

Agree, even the new "Maiden England" designs are boring compared to their old original shirts. And the reason for that is that back in the day Iron Maiden had Derek Riggs working for tham 24h a day and he was coming up with all this amazing designs we all know and Fuggle74 is posting. But since they stopped working with him (i think since 1993 - 1994) the quallity of their shirt designs have dropped pretty much!!!

yes, that's a sad thing ... Derek Riggs is a genius !!!!

lexb on Thu, 06/06/2013 - 01:26

That seems to happen more often than people realize. I wish the bands understood how much attachment people develop to the imagery associated with a band. I mean, the music is still the music, but good artwork can really add an extra dimension.

Fuggle74 on Sat, 18/05/2013 - 08:11

Personally, I think the Maiden shirts from 08-11 are pretty cool. The new artist, Herve, is brilliant and they're heavily influenced from the 80's designs of individual US states/countries. I'd collect them too, if all my spare cash wasn't required for the originals I don't have lol!

metal_thrashing_dad on Sat, 18/05/2013 - 13:48

Agree on a ceratin degree. The only thing i didn't like on the most "Somewhere Back In Time" shirts was that they used, for example, the "Aces High" design on the front and the "2 Minutes to MIdnight" design on the back with the dates. They should use them separately. And yes, Herve is great but Derek Riggs is the ultimate God!!!

Rly good price - can´t believe it!

metal_thrashing_dad on Mon, 20/05/2013 - 14:24

Possibly the main reason i bought it!!!

Fuggle74 on Sat, 18/05/2013 - 08:05

For a bootleg, the 'vintage' quality is insane!

metal_thrashing_dad on Sat, 18/05/2013 - 13:41

Definitely, awesome value for money bootleg!!!

Rotten on Sat, 18/05/2013 - 08:50

Are you sure this is a boot? It's awesome.

Fuggle74 on Sat, 18/05/2013 - 10:32

Just search on ebay - they're all over it. Direct from Thailand and dirt cheap. Agree they look mental - that 82 design is a true killer.

metal_thrashing_dad on Sat, 18/05/2013 - 13:43

Bought it for almost 17.00€, so it is definitely a bootleg. But a great one!!!

Thanks Michael, cheers from Greece!!!

nikitas on Mon, 20/05/2013 - 21:59

metal_thrashing_dad on Mon, 20/05/2013 - 22:07

I think that everybody in this site will grab it. The Thai guy will become rich from us!!!

bunta666 on Wed, 29/05/2013 - 22:07

I thought I'd bought the last Large they had but a few weeks later I got a message from the seller that the shirt was not perfect and he wouldn't sell it to me so I got a refund :(
Awesome shirt for an awesome prize!
