I figured we could have a dedicated thread for the band and its members' product releases. It feels like we're getting more of them over the years so maybe it's a big enough topic to deserve its own thread. It probably doesn't make sense for new album releases or anything that's going to command a massive response but maybe for everything else including ancillary products.

Here are a couple very recent ones:

NEW Jordan Rudess signature Strandberg guitar

I thought we'll be getting Majesty pajamas.  ???

Those headphones looks nice, too bad I got some new ones only a few months ago. I might have ordered them otherwise. Reasonable price too.

it's just covers for their brand of headphones, you're not buying the full headphones for 40,- ;-)

Well damn! I thought they were suspiciously cheap :lol

The bundle comes with the covers and the actual headphones for $299.00.  I was asking about the headphones, if anyone knows.

You can easily desing whatever you like with AI or designer tool and print it.

I don't know how quality this thin plastic cover but whatever it is it's way too expensive. The thing is (I guess) to support the band. So it's your deal.

I don't know anyone who has Heavys but the reviews I've read on the internet were not bad.

Thanks!

I gather these claim to be designed to be ideal for listening to "heavy" music, rather than just be all-purpose good?

As I don't buy CDs or vinyl anymore (I mean to get a record *music* player this year) I went looking for the DT online EU/UK merch store to contribute fiscally to the machine.

3 designs of t shirt, basic IAW, Awake and PS cover art. Each priced at £40 + £4.60 postage.

By comparison, Maiden's latest shirts on their official site are £35 or £30 but most are at £25.

I didn't buy.

Correct.

Wow. You really are.



I'm somewhat intrigued by how it smells  :lol

I would have purchased the signature bourbon if it were more reasonably priced but I'll probably avoid the cologne for now.

Much like the Metallica one, I'd have given it a go if it was available and sensibly priced in the UK. I can't imagine either were much good, honestly, but yeah, I'd have thrown them a bit of cash.

The cologne/EDT/perfume/aftershave, however, I just imagine it smells like JP's sweaty armpit after a show. Not a smell I'd personally fancy rocking. Now if it infused me with 27% of his guitar playing ability, that'd be a different story.

Haven't watched the video or tried the cologne (I don't use cologne), but I use JP's beard oil.  I like it a lot.
