I wore this shirt to a Kylesa/Intronaut/Mastodon concert. No one seemed to give a fuck.

I love Tegan & Sara. They’re ranked #2 in my Last.FM playlist, amongst Megadeth, Bathory, Dark Angel, and Motorhead. As you can see I’m a pretty died in the wool metalhead, and I know for a fact that there are other metalheads out there who love this band. Perhaps this shirt is simply a *nod* from T&S to the horns?

hell yeah, this will go great with my hoodie that LOOKS like it’s got a Decapitated album on it, but it’s Kelly Clarkston! WOO HOO!

I still love how everyone loves to make a big deal out of this.
It’s a shirt. They liked the design and thought fans would too. And most of their fans find it funny and ironic, and love the idea that they might get dirty looks. You may not like it, but others do.
I’ll proudly be wearing this shirt at any metal show I go to. I guess I’ll be expecting those death glares from all of the asses on here.

Bring It. =]

I think the design is funny.to be so protective over something that needs no protection is laughable at best , at worst ,sad and more so “fem,gay,girlie” than said band. Metal and music in general doesn’t need insecure pillow biters running to its defense for improper representation or supposed theft of established ideas.It’s not yours, no art is yours and its completely juvenile to hold on to such things like a big security blanket, titty or whatever you need to feel safe or sense of belonging . which speaking of IRONIC this is completely contrary to supposed values metal preaches , individuality, independence,strength.To consider such an innocuous piece of art blasphemy is weak, and so very un-metal it makes me nauseous.
music can’t be contaminated. you’re not going to listen to things that suck or you hate . your not going to get tricked into listening to sappy fag pop because of a shirt design .if you are worried that metal will be perceived poorly or inaccurately by people who do not listen to metal then clearly you are missing something vital to the grand equation here .

ha ha…
my shit never gets this sort of attention. I’m the tegan and sara fan that did the artwork. at their gig, i really wanted to get a shirt to wear at metal gigs so tools in pantera shirts would give me death stares. unfortunately, the shirts on sale were not at all to my taste so in a drunken moment of brilliance, i vowed i’d design something i’d wear…so i did…sent it…and they dug the idea.
to those that think i’ve angered the metal gods, wake up to yourself…there are no gods…or a bureau of official metal-ness i should have checked with
and to those metal-heads out there that love other music and keep their arses in check with humour, hope to see you at a gig…i’ll buy you an australian beer.

To whoever mentioned sebadoh and their “metal” logo, you know lou barlow was once in Deep Wound, which was pretty much grindcore before anyone had ever heard of grindcore.

What is this connection between T&S and Gojira that I keep hearing about?

By: mahkiavelli

mahkiavelli — Wed, 18 Mar 2009 15:51:27 +0000

I’ll state proudly that I own all the Metallica albums (even the shite ones), and all of the Tegan & Sara albums too.

1) Leper Messiah
2) Gojira

Yeah, I’m pretty sure they aren’t trying to “act metal” – like the earlier post said, they were approached by a fan with a cool design that happened to be influenced by metal. So what’s the fuss?

“Also, was metal ever really meant to be taken too seriously?”

Wait, whoa. You mean Spinal Tap weren’t supposed to be taken seriously?

On a serious note (wut?), I’m pretty sure no one here at Metal Sucks take themselves or the music they listen to seriously. I imagine posts like this are designed to stir the pot, especially since they’re posted by a man going by the moniker “Vince Neilstein”.

There is some good satire on this site, but some times you swear they really are the boneheaded metal fan they pretend to be.

And …that’s quite enough of my serious note (wut again?).

Do you guys (at metalsuck.net) feel so threatened by this that you had to write something about it? “ah man, they made their name look metal…im so mad”..I come to this site wanting to read shit about metal, NOT about tegan and sarah (though their not bad). I mean, if anything we (the metal fans) should feel somewhat honored that they would make such a shirt. Also, was metal ever really meant to be taken too seriously? I thought it was about not giving a fuck. Do you guys know anything about metal?

“That irony is a slap in the face to those of us who take metal seriously.”

Haha. Oh God, that’s funny.

Fine example of what is wrong with metal, and music as a whole. People take shit way too seriously and try to be harder than the next guy. In the end they’re just morons. I mean that in the most loving way possible.

I really hate it when people who know nothing about metal pretend to be metal. To me that’s no different than a heterosexual person rollerblading down the street in tight jeans pretending to be gay. I do appreciate the opposite though, when people who are actually metal as fuck don’t look it at all. I think it makes their metal-ness even more striking when it’s revealed. One word. Akercocke.

Haha Walking With The Ghost was an awesome song as well I have to admit that…

I have no problem with the shirt..they’re in no way metal, but its just a design…looks pretty cool. other than the hair on the left skull. lol.

idk why but it reminds me of an affliction shirt.
