Um…This is like the third or fourth book to come out on vintage rock tees. it’s cool, but its hardly the last word - or the first word - on the subject. still no original ny dolls.

got the book. it has so many more awesome tshirts. has interview with the dude (not warhol) who designed Rolling Stones lips logo. lots of great tees from 90s - Nirvana, Sonic Youth, Beck….

im 18 and i see all these ppl a simlar age wearing “old” stones t shirts and ramones shirts! its a fucking piss take.

i only wear bootleg gig t shirts cos i hate clothes shops and the official ones are a piss take.

always buy bootleg, u can only get them at the gig!!!

The They Might Be Giants “Extra Crispy” Tour t-shirt from the early nineties with a dead cockroach on it and the logo THEY MIGHT BE DEAD over it will always be my favorite. Horrifyingly, 15 years later, I still wear mine every so often.

I still dig my Tee from the “Vote for Change” tour when I saw Pearl Jam in Asheville, N.C. a few years back.

Uh, anything with the NIN logo on it. That is one of the most recognizable logos from the 90’s.

Rev,
Maynard would like to offer you a sandwich.

You are all posers.

I am wearing speedos and my SPINAL TAP BREAK LIKE THE WIND t shirt.

I want you all to smell the glove & have a shark shit sandwich.

your the best in the world fall out boy is the best i love it there soo cooly love it i love fall out boy

some one please tell me where i can get the red hot chili peppers shirt. its so cool.

who the hell are the Happy Mondays??

Where is the Pearl Jam shirt that says nine out of ten children prefer crayons to guns? And where is any Rolling Stones shirt featuring Andy Warhol’s lips?

it’s a shame to know that a lot of these shirts are being recreated and sold at Wal-marts and Targets.It almost makes the badge of honor seem less honorable.

I personally have a Ben Folds tour shirt from this year’s tour with John Mayer. It illustrates Fold’s awesomely immature personality, which i find endearing.

I like todd snider’s shirt =
tree hugging, pot smoking, porn watching, lazy arse hippie

I used to have a shirt from ShaneMag that read on the front “I might fave f—ed you missus” and on the back, “but I never f—ed
your daughter”, but that was a little hard to wear to the cpa picnic

The most iconic is the Rolling Stones 1973 logo shirt for sure (The lips and tongue). I have also seen pictures of Marc Bolan wearing a Chuck Berry shirt that I wish I could find, although they might not make them anymore.

Concert tee shirts are great. However, can anyone who goes to a lot of concerts afford $35.00 for a tee shirt??? Especially of you are one of those folks who buys a shirt everytime you go!

Van Halen had some classic shirts!

T.Rex - The Slider t-shirt…Marc Bolan in his top hat…photo credited to Ringo Starr (but actually taken by Tony Visconti)…frequently worn by Iggy Pop, which in itself is a true testament of the t-shirt since Iggy is rarely seen wearing any shirt!

Wow. It must have killed you guys to NOT include a Timberlake or Snoop Dogg T.

are you guys kidding me, why has no one suggested THE GRATEFUL DEAD

How about the Barbara Streisand t-shirt with her big nosed smiling face. That’s a keeper.

Where is the Pearl Jam stickman shirt?

Iconic Rock Shirts:

As stated, any Metallica shirt designed by Pushead, specifically Damage Inc, damaged Justice, One, and the Sad But True T-shirts. The Led Zeppelin Swan Song T-Shirt. Any Iron Maiden T-Shirt from before 1990. The Nirvana Smiley Face T-shirt.

Appetite For Destruction cross t shirt

That Ramones t-shirt rules. But seriously, how sick am I of seeing them now!!!

Anonymous,
Are you implying that artists and designers are idiots?

Why would you include a Metallica shirt with the band? When I think rock t-shirts, I think of a Metallica Pushead t-shirt.

Candy-o you’re an idiot. How can t-shirts be collector’s items or inspirations. Maybe for the designers.

Anything can represent experiences and why should it being a collectors’ item make them any different? And I guess I also fail to see how a shirt can be be a symbol of inspiration.

Great choices, but you forgot some good ones, like the Smashing Pumpkins “Zero” shirt, and Nirvana’s smiley face t-shirt

I actually have the book and what I like that it covers 50years ot tshirt design. Starts with Elvis and ends with YYYs. I don’t think the book claims that the YYYs are in the same catergory as the more iconic tees but its cool to see contemporary designs in there too.

Got the book last week. Awesome that someone has finally put together the best tees in music history. Amazed no one’s done it before.

Stones ‘72 US Tour Shirt. that and the Ramones logo. but personally Dinosaur Jr’s Cow T-shirt is my favourite

Good point about the YYY’s (and I’m actually quite a big fan of their music); however, the passing of time doesn’t automatically grant iconic status either. Mudhoney? Yeah I realize they were considered one of the beginning grunge acts but they certainly aren’t iconic.

And Dinasour Jr., Happy Mondays and Minor Threat aren’t exactly the pillars of rock ‘n roll either.

The Clash’s Straight to Hell was a great one. Stone Roses had a nice one with John Squire’s Jackson Pollock-like paint job. Stones’ Japan Tour from ‘81-82 with the dragon?

Yeah Yeah Yeahs??? No matter how much you guys push them, you can’t FORCE anything into “iconic” status…

Anonymous, only you can answer that question for yourself. Those T-Shirts represent experiences and inspirations…and some of them are collectors’ items.

rolling stones’ 1989 notrh american tour tshirt

epic

Am I supposed to be impressed with those?

Link to the gallery is busted, yo!

How cool is that for the designers…it’s nice to see them being given the credit they deserve.
