Sign in to disble this ad
So this month alone I must've gotten 25 comments on the shirt or people saying they saw them live. Some times I talk with them a little bit, if they know a bit on them, but most of the time I just smile.
Other shirt comments counts (approx):
Iron Maiden=0 (I get alot of strange looks when I wear it)
Pink Floyd=3 or 4
Bob Marley=1 (dad's girlfriend)
Black Keys=0
Beatles=2
Why is this? |

|  | no really, smokemeth&hailsatan | | Join Date: Dec 2005 Location: Pueblo, CO | | | I have a Melvins shirt with my avatar on the front, and a two headed cat that says pussy that gets comments from everyone I know, and some people that I have never met. My Spreading the Disease anthrax shirt gets more comments from older people. But my corrosion of conformity shirt gets a lot from people who exclaim what an awesome band they were. |

I couldn't STAND them back then...afterwards, they got a lot more interesting. I think they make some great stuff now.
