take that Drew Barymore
Yeah Neilstein, take off your Hoobastank shirt.
That. Was. Awesome.
That was pretty cool. That’s why I don’t wear any Lamb of God shirts. Because posers who don’t know shit about metal wear them cuz they’re kewl and I don’t wanna be lumped with those meatheads.
Amen. That’s one of my biggest pet peeves ever. Everytime I see some little douche in a Motorhead Tee I want to make them name me 10 ‘head tunes that AREN”T “Ace of Spades”. And if they couldn’t, I’d rip the shirt right off their backs.
… take off that CBGB’s shirt you got at Urban Outfitters for 60 bucks too.
Awesome song and video!
THANK YOU! LOL
That shit kills me.
I saw some unwashed little hipster chick on the L one time wearing a Slayer shirt, so I asked her if she went to the then-recent show at the Aragon. She rolled her eyes at me, as if to say, “ugh. You dumbass Gen-Xers just don’t get it.”
Bitch.
Fuckin slut
On a semi-related note: Drew Barrymore starred in The Wedding Singer. It was in that movie that Adam Sandler tells his then girlfriend Linda “Please get out of my Van Halen T-Shirt before you jinx the band and they break up.”
I suppose someone more creative than I can create a six-degrees of “T-shirt posers” related to Drew Barrymore!
@ Quella
You got a problem with LOG mahfucker?? It’s not like there a fuckin’ radio band, now chicks in AC/DC shirts or Maiden shirts (See Drew Barrymore) now that’s a different story.
So awesome. And so true.
let’s be reasonable here for a second… drew barrymore used to do a lot of drugs in the day… and she was a teen in the late 80’s. It is possible, unlikely, but possible she likes Maiden.
Just playing devil’s advocate.
But funny enough someone said this to my girlfriend once about a Metallica shirt, and she went as far as to name for them several songs, the place where James lost his face, and the Mustaine songs.
Hah, so true. The AC/DC shirts are the worst. God, I’ve seen a bunch of preppy girls with AC/DC tote bags X_x
That’s what sucks about being a girl metalhead though, I sometimes get lumped in with these fuckwads.
This is why i only wear tour t-shirts. I have a little brother who’s exactly like this fish taco faggets who buy shirts for fashion, no for the music.
Can you guys do a post about metal/hardcore bands that wear Affliction and/or Ed Hardy type shirts?
Sevendust
All That Remains (the singer Phil)
Robb Flynn of Machine Head
HAHA. Fucking gold.
@ Jenna: Amen. I feel like nowadays I’m only allowed to wear a shirt with some completely obscure underground band on it, just to prove I’m into ‘metal’ enough for people not to sneer at me. White guys between 20-40 (which, if I think about it, seems to make up pretty much the ENTIRE metal community) are the worst for it. Give us a fucking break, ok? I happen to like Lamb of God (oh, and Burn the Priest. Shockingly. Am I metal enough now?).
That said, little teenage hipster girls in Metallica shirts annoy the shit out of me too. As if everyone doesn’t know they, like, LOVE MCR and Fall Out Boy even more (because, like, Pete/Gerard is sooo hot and all). *Gag*.
Hopefully they all grow out of it (but I’m doubtful).
I’m so fucking glad this trend has been and gone in the UK.
I lived in an apartment complex about four years ago where I’d see this group of Mexican kids running around all the time. One kid (around 10 or 11 years old, I’m guessing) would wear an Iron Maiden “Killers” t-shirt EVERY DAY. Same shirt, every time I saw him. I was torn. For one, I thought it highly unlikely that the kid had ever heard a Maiden song. On the other hand, maybe the kid latched on to something an uncle or family friend played for him. Maybe he wasn’t a total poser. And even if he just thought it was a cool looking shirt, maybe it’ll inspire him to give a listen to “Somewhere in Time” someday.
So, I can forgive a ten year old. It’s the 15 hipsters that bug the shit out of me.
I’m gonna start wearing a Drew Barrymore T-shirt.
This is why I don’t even wear band shirts very often.
I think my long hair and leather jacket make it more
than obvious what kind of music I like.
And if it doesn’t, I don’t fucking care!
Me pulling up to a stoplight blasting some Overkill
will do the trick instead!
crapmcpoopen, You’re a lucky dude to have a girl that get’s it, she sounds like a keeper.
the funny thing about the trendy idiots in ACDC t shirts is that they sell them at walmart and there is NOTHING less metal than walmart!
It drives me crazy when I see all these little idiots in Maiden shirts and my all time personal favorite the Damage Inc. Pushead Metallica shirt. Ask these idiots who pushead is and they look at you like you’re retarded. When I was growing u we had to order our shirts from Hit Parader magazine or go to like a few select little novelty stores. I also grew up getting in fights with rednecks and idiot jocks that called us satan worshippers. We wore our shit proudly in a world that hated us. These idiots wear them to fit in.
That being said I do like that there actually is a new generation of metal heads coming up. I feel sorry for them for having to put up with all these posers.
to Meathead,
as much as I love lamb of god, dude. I totally heard laid to rest on the radio at work the other day.
just saying…
yeah i think it should me ‘take off the shirt if you can’t sing/hum a song by the band.’
not just ‘name a song’. posers!
Heh, thanks Old Skool Metal, its really pissing me off when I see poser kids wearing T-shirt of my favourite bands. It doesn’t happen very often now though, mainly because that trend faded in the UK, and because I’m more into Death Metal now :]
It’s really a shame because the kids will most likely never even try to listen to those great bands.
Oh and if ill ever again see a poser kid wearing SLAYER shirt I will suffocate and disembowel him/her !
Hail
This makes me think back to high school, when this metal-ignorant girl wore an Anthrax shirt to school one day. A really fucking cool one too, one with Judge Dredd on it. When I asked her where she got it (and NOT how much it cost) she told me “a vintage store in Brooklyn for about 85 bucks”, and then proceeded to talk a whole bunch of shit about Anthrax. “You like them? God, they’re terrible. I didn’t think anyone still listened to that kind of shit anymore”. That night, Judge Dredd came to her house, stripped her of her blasphemous clothing, and then burned down her entire wardrobe. She came to school in nothing but a thong for the rest of senior year. No joke, respect the badge. He earned it with his blood.
i hate everyone who wears a Misfits shirt and doesn’t know any of their shit
same with Slayer, Maiden, hell even Meh-tallics

Cheers, Tasha.
That was seriously awful. That guy is the worst vocalist I’ve ever heard.
@Ricki.S – I see lots of people who wear tour shirts from tours that were before they were born. Especially Led Zep shirts.
Where can I download this song??
It makes me sad that people will actually not wear t-shirts of bands they like because they’re scared of what people will think of them… I thought us metalheads were better than that…
But yes, there is very little need for bloody ASOS to be selling Motorhead t-shirts…
