Your favorite band t-shirt

Currently, it's my new Theocracy shirt, as evidenced by my avatar

Other favorites I've owned:

Tourniquet - Pathogenic Ocular Dissonance album art shirt
Iron Maiden - Brave New World tour shirt (cost me enough, better be a fave!)
Eternal Mystery - old logo shirt
SorrowStorm logo shirt

I also used to have this sweet Megadeth shirt that was green, had this alien guy on the front, and he was wearing this brain-looking helmet. Wonder whatever happened to that shirt...I bet my wife threw it out when it shrunk!

Sweet Theocracy shirt, I need to get myself one.

My new favorite band shirt:

I used to have a pretty sweet Phish shirt, but my dog buried it somewhere in my yard. Looked kinda like this.

You have a veritable treasure trove in the earth around your home don't you?

I got lucky - last one of these they had when I got to the show! extremely limited edition shirt just for the Mexico shows!

Brontotex has an awesome Maiden tour shirt from the Canada leg of the tour. It has Eddie playing hockey on the ice.

That is one sweeeeetttttt! shirt. I used to have the regular Stranger art but I lost the shirt .

Another prized shirt that I lost and can't get again.



I've searched high and low but I can't get neither design anymore .

I got this shirt at Hot Topic (see they ain't all bad). Unfortunaltly they didn't have any XL or 2XL after the large (too tight for me) so I had to get a 3XL which is way too big but the chances of my finding this shirt again is nil so I took what I could get:

I've seen that one too - it kicks a**!!!!

Have you seen the Chicago one from last year? That one is cool too!

How come I never heard none of this Theocracy? You guys keeping secrets from a brother? I just got word on Wolf, like what? Like twenty minutes ago. What's Theo about? Aside from governmental rule by an unseen spirit force.

Now that I thunk about it, I had two, no three, awesome Metal shirts as a late teen, early 20's. None of 'em had sleeves. Sleeves were not in fashion. Plussin', who would want sleeves when ya had the mushy beer guns that I had. I had an Anthrax T, which every Metaller in the Tri-State area needed to sport. Then, I had a cool Maiden one that I theived from a pal. I believe, no, I'm sure that it was the cover of 'Somewhere In Time'. Then, there was the matter of a very cool Metallica 'Justice' shirt.

Who was that artist that did the Metallica stuff right around the 'Justice' era? He also did some stuff for Queensryche during this timeframe. He was a great aritst. I have a very rare Metallica cassette single still that has art displayed.

Pushead? They always had great artwork back then.

It's not about a theocracy in the physical sense but a theocracy of the soul. Letting the believer's life be governed by the Word of God and power of the Holy Spirit. It's in no way a call to a Christian government.

Pushead, yes! That guy was wicked. I can't exactly remember the T-shirt I had, but I rememba the scraggly rag doll he did for the cover of the 'One' single. That one was wicked sma't.

Oh, Theocracy is a Christian Metal band. And, I'm on a strict secular-Metal diet this month or I would check them out. Cool name though. Too bad that it could be miscontrued by some as victory of church over state.

If I remember correctly from the catalogs back then, it was called Doris (that was the title anyway). Yeah, Pushead was cool, they need to get back with that guy because the modern Metallica shirts don't hold up to muster IMO.

Very cool shirt.

Hey, maybe I'll find that shirt at a Hot Topic. Hell, I found the Nordic Tour shrit and Middle East tour shirt there.

Found a picture of my favoite metal shirt I had back in Middle School in the early 90s. Ended up getting many holes in it and basically disenegrated in a few years (yes, I wore it that much). Great shirt back in the day when music stores had merchandise:



The online store I found this picture in is selling it for $32.50 (expensive but I'm heavily thinking about getting it.

Each of the four panels on that shirt seems to have a print by Pushead. Each one of those cells would make a decent shirt. I still can't remember the design on mine, but, I think it had one of them dang skulls on it.
