When I went to see Opeth, I was just about the only one in the crowd not wearing a black shirt. Mine was fucking blue, and I didn't even think about it before we got there. I saw everyone in black, and thought... "Hmm what am I wearing? Blue? WTF!"
But still, the concert kicked as and I had just as much fun as I would have had in a black shirt.

Thats what you think. You would have had such a better time in black, dont deny it!

People, people, people.

Everyone knows that wearing a shirt AT ALL is not metal.

End of discussion.

yah...saw shirtless guys with ripped out nip piercings after AE/SYL.

I've been to a gig in my Morrisons uniform before!?! Couldn't care less what people thought!

i dont agree with that but would be cool is if you went and saw a band like "strapping" and did as your told and bought a fuckin t-shirt,then the next time they came through wear the t-shirt you bought at the previous show,i guess it just shows if you bought a t-shirt at the last tour then it kinda tells your a strong supporter and go to any show they have in your town and yeah thats it.(i dont personally do this but its an idea)

yeah it really doesnt matter metal is a way of escaping everybody else critizing your apperal and really if you care what you wear your clearly in the wrong life style(maybe go see one of those emo good charlotte shows i hear so much about i think they hand out unoriganle unifoms at the door)

NO!!!! I dont want to hear any of this "metal is about..." crap. Metal is about creating good music. It is not about dressing, fuffilling any emotional desires, its not about the community, it has no further meaning than a genre of music. You add your own individual meaning to the music you listen to, and same with the artist. They add their own meaning. Nothing is universal like it is in Punk, emo, hardcore, etc.

Well said!

i cant stand when i watch those metal countdowns on Vh1 like "most un-metal moments", and there are these people just going "THATS NOT METAL! METAL IS ABOUT BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH"

I just wear whatever I am wearing that day, which is whatever shirt my hand grabs when I stick it in my cupboard in the morning to get dressed.

I went to a gig yesterday with some friends, and 3 out of 4 of them changed into their 'gig' shirt just before we left, so I laughed at them.

I can understand why people would intentionally not wear a the shirt of a band they are going to see, after all, you're at their gig, of course you're a fan but it really doesn't matter. I don't know why you'd wear a shirt you bought at a gig though, unless you turned up shirtless. You'd get too hot.

I agree 100%. "metal is about anger and rawness" "metal is about escaping reality" is all bullshit.
