Ugh, Gaudy.

I've had their old Made Of Stone shirt for so long that its now 'vintage' - I never wear it b/c I don't like wearing clothes with words. Doesn't stop me from buying it though.
Mine's like decades old and been worn only a few times. This image is of, I think, a new copy of the old one:

1) No, I'm keeping it.
2) I'm also still young (albeit not a child, dunno how old you are).
3) Nobody will think you're cool for wearing this.
4) You can buy it cheap from a currently fashionable manufacturer if you really want one.

all very good points.

I hope they have a sleeve-less version.

Yeah, I had a friend who bought a Goatwhore shirt second hand because he loved the design on it. He had never heard, much less heard of, the band before buying the shirt.

Once he finally listened to the band, he ended up throwing the shirt away.

I have a Mastodon shirt, mostly because I really liked the color (faded yellow) and the design (gnarled hand holding an ornate goblet dripping blood). I can't for the life of me find it on Google, but if I'm ever photographed wearing it I'll be sure to share

I may have already said this, honestly I don't remember, but I had an Into Eternity shirt, a band I've never listened to, just because the back of the shirt said "**** Cancer".

Yeah, honestly I dislike shirts with graphics on them enough that I don't buy band shirts unless I really like the band. The only band shirts I really regret not getting is the Repulsion, "Horror, Gore, the Whole 9 Yards..." shirt, which I didn't buy because that phrase struck me as a bit much, and a red monstrosity shirt with their logo and an image in black.

Anyways, on a slightly related note, I am seriously considering getting a tattoo in the basic war/bestial black metal motif of black/red/white. The imagery wouldn't be black metal (or metal, for that matter) related....

^^^ imagine a colour motif as on the poster, pictured on the right, which coincidentally is right behind me at the moment.
