Forum game: Musicians wearing other band's shirts

[Zydar]

OK hear me out. I got this idea that could hopefully be turned into a DTF game.

I start by posting a pic of a musician wearing a T-shirt with another band or artist on it. Then you post another pic of that same band or artist wearing another T-shirt with another band or artist.



So here's Slash wearing a KISS shirt. Now you post a KISS member wearing another band's shirt.

What a cool game...   ... You son of a bitch.

[TAC]

Shadow Gallery's Mike Baker wearing Alice Cooper.

No you post a KISS member wearing a band shirt.

[TAC]

Oh, sorry. I'm a noob around here.

[Cintus Supremus]

How about that time KISS made an interviewer remove his Iron Maiden shirt?

Well, here's Gene Simmons in a Misfits shirt

[Stadler]

Goddammit... I thought I was saving the thread with this:



Bruce Kulick in a Rolling Stones shirt.

[Lonk]

Cool game, but you started it out pretty hard with Kiss.

[Zydar]

Well, here's Gene Simmons in a Misfits shirt

Nice! Now somebody post a Misfit member wearing a band shirt

[Stadler]

Dez Cadenza.   Joan Jett and the Blackhearts.

(Interestingly, there is a picture of him with a shirt of a skull and cross bones, similar if not identical to the one Gene used to wear back in '73, '74 before they perfected their stage gear.  We could get caught in a Kiss/Misfits/Gene Simmons/Glenn Danzig do loop if we're not careful!)

[bosk1]

I sense that we're going to keep going back to a small circle of punk bands here. 



So here's a question:  Would it have been "cheating" if I posted a pic of he in a Runnaways shirt?  Other than just wearing plain black, that seems to be her go-to.  Just curious.

[Zydar]

Good question, bosk. I guess it wouldn't be cheating. I know some musicians like to wear their own band's shirt (Iron Maiden!), and that's okay with this game. Anything to keep it going, I guess

[bosk1]

Well, that was her former band, so I figured it might be legal.  But I also figured it was too easy, so I kept looking.

And far be it from me to tell you how to run your game, but I propose a "no Sex Pistols" rule, or we're going to wear that band out in just a page or two. 

[romdrums]

One of The Ramones is wearing a Black Sabbath T-shirt.

Actually, don't take this as a criticism, but we can have a whole thread on musicians wearing JUST THAT RAMONES shirt.  Everyone and their daughter has one (well, my daughter has one but I don't).

Also, side bar, but when I grew up - 80's - it was always cheesy and lame to wear your own band shirt. In fact, it was cool to be unpredictable with that (there was a mild uproar of sorts when the nerds in my high school went to see REM at Toad's Place and Peter Buck wore a Maiden shirt on stage; as a sort of resident Maiden fan, I got about four requests for "a couple Maiden songs to check out" in the days after).    When did that become acceptable?  Maiden does it every show (somehow EVERYTHING they do is cool, though) and Jerry Only of the Misfits does it all the time too.  Ace is sort of guilty of that a lot...

Good God, this was hilarious and embarrassing at the same time. I'm not surprised by Gene's attitude, but Paul was on his side as well.

I was thinking in my mind that Sex Pistols would be #1, followed at a little bit of a distance by Misfits, with them followed just a bit by the Ramones, and whichever shirt is at #4 to be WAY behind all of those.  But you probably have more of an awareness of that as an East Coast guy, so you might be right about everybody having that Ramones shirt.

  What does that have to do with Black Sabbath?

EDIT:  This is a tough one, by the way.  I did a bit of Google searching for a few members.  Ozzy rarely wears t-shirts, and never band ones (except a pic I found of him wearing a Sabbath tee, so that's out), Dio doesn't appear to have worn a tee in his life, and Tony Iommi ALWAYS wears the same thing (large cross with a John Myung costume).  I'll have to search more later, unless someone else comes up with one in the meantime.

That was one of the few pictures I could find where I could even kind of make out one of The Ramones wearing another band's t-shirt.  We may have to reboot the game.

I went looking too; Geezer, almost always in black (now; back in the day he looked like the Maharishi).   Best bet is to go with ancillary players.  I went through Tony Martin and Cozy Powell, and naught.   I googled "Neil Murray" and got 100 pictures of J.K. Rowling.   I'm on a conference call and I'll keep looking.

Don't forget that Sabbath had a dozen or so different members throughout the 80s and 90s, so look up some of the lesser known members. And wouldn't Iommi count if he's wearing a "John Myung costume"?

[bosk1]

  Do you guys seriously not get how this game works?

[cramx3]

nope 

[bosk1]

I start by posting a pic of a musician wearing a T-shirt with another band or artist on it. Then you post another pic of that same band or artist wearing another T-shirt with another band or artist.

...

So here's Slash wearing a KISS shirt. Now you post a KISS member wearing another band's shirt.

The last pic of a band member wearing another band's shirt was a member of the Ramones wearing a Black Sabbath shirt.  So the next post should be a member of Sabbath wearing another band's shirt. 

[romdrums]

EDIT: bosk1 beat me to it.

[Anguyen92]

All right, guys.  According to wiki, here's a link of the band members, find someone on this list marked under official (should we count touring as well?) wearing another band's shirt.

[Mladen]

I apologize for my previous post, I forgot that this is a game and not a discussion thread. Play along, I'll join in at some point. 

[bosk1]

Well, if it counts:



And I say "if it counts" because it's the same dilemma as the Joan Jett pic:  He was actually in Kill Devil Hill, so he isn't promoting a band he wasn't in.  So if you guys don't want to count it and want to continue searching Sabbath members, I'm not gonna be bent about it.

[Zydar]

I'll allow it.

[Stadler]

Yea, but Hillary Duff looks pretty cute in that photo.

[cramx3]

That's really all I was going for.  Girls in Maiden shirts are hot.  In reality, I only read the title and scrolled through the pictures without noticing this was a game or any connection between the pictures (well, its definitely hard to see any connection even now  )

[Stadler]

I was going to post that Vinnie picture.  Only other things I came up with were Ian Gillan - same dilemma - and a million picture of Glenn Hughes with the same costume on:



But... Rex Brown...
