ROB HALFORD T-SHIRTS: YET ANOTHER SIGN THAT ARMAGEDDON IS HERE
Monday, May 4th, 2009 at 10:09am by Mike Conte
Swine flu got you down? Don’t get too scared, it was always part of the plan. Here’s a headline you should be much more concerned about: “ROB HALFORD UNVEILS NEW LINE OF SUPER CRAPPY T-SHIRTS“. WTF?? As if that isn’t horrifying enough in and of itself, the shirts look like they were designed by people with down syndrome that just couldn’t quite make the cut over at Affliction (as though Affliction Clothing isn’t bad enough). Jesus. If you want to get massively bummed out, head over to Halford’s new t-shirt line website, “Metal God Apparel” and grab yourself a sweet tee for a cool $54.99. Cheap!!
I see tons of douchebags trolling around Los Angeles in shitty shirts that look dangerously similar to these. It’s pretty sad. It’s a pandemic for sure. And there’s not really much we can do at this point. It seems even the Boston Red Sox have been struck with this “affliction” (pictured right). I hate all of you.

I don’t think some of them are that bad. But that $54.99 price tag they supposedly have is about $40.00 too much.
these shirts might make sense at 15 dollars, cause they suck, i mean style is to each his own but, this is like some walmart type designs on a t shirt for 65 dollars. I need a guarantee to get laid, if im gonna buy a shirt for 65 dollars. that or the t shirt better come with drugs wrapped inside of it.
who knew it costed so much to be gay
Not all of them are terrible. For 55 bucks there better be a TV built in though.
what, is rob halford turning into gene simmons or something?
and i guaran-fucking-tee metal god will be the new von dutch.
but i do get a good laugh out of people who wear von dutch stuff and have absolutely NO idea who he was or what he was about (like black people who obviously didn’t know what a huge racist he was).
pray for rock and roll?
Heh. The Affliction. It’s not just striking LA and wherever else it’s cool to be trendy…even in Michigan people are Afflicted too. Don’t get me started on that Ed Hardy shit.
ed hardy sucks my dick. its like abercrombie for ghetto wannabes
I imagined more pastels…
Agree with the consensus here. The price tag is ridiculous for a $0.50 piece of cotton, but the designs are not nearly as bad as Conte makes them out to be.
What ever happened to Kerry Kings KFK line of t-shirts? I think it was like KFK Industries or something like that. Metal musicians need to stick to music and leave the T-Shirt making to Salt The Wound.
or Rob zombie’s “Total Skull”….
is that still around?
Wait…is Rob Zombie still around? Oh, that’s right. He’s busy ruining the Halloween legacy….
slipknot has a clothing line called tattered and torn
oh yeah…forgot about that one. Probably the only one that is really doing well.
Euro-trash is king.
Amen.
I’d pay $55 if it had a picture of Rob deep throating Peter Steele on it.
What the hell is wrong with Affliction? I have an affliction shirt that consists simply of a massive army of undead skeletons, carrying weapons, looking mean as fuck. Another one has the four hoursemen of the apocalypse, in greusome detail, ready to start some serious shit. How can any self-respecting metalhead hate on that? Just because unmetal people wear that shit and think they’re cool? Fuck them! Affliction makes some really cool designs, and I will happily rock that shit despite what other people do. Hating on something just because it became popular is retarded. Really awesome shit becomes popular sometimes, and the wrong people get into it. That doesn’t make it any less awesome. Proof: Mastodon. I rest my case.
Funny, I found plenty of decent shirts for $10-$20 plus shipping. In extended sizes, even. I don’t know what people are bitching about — most band shirts suck anyway.
