I occasionally think about ordering another skeleton shirt, I bought one on the '99 tour and wore it until it was nothing but holes.
I retired my Beef 2000 Shirt, I have owned for more than Half my lifetime, I knew guys who saw them in Toronto at the Opera house and wore their shirts to ribbons, I decided it meant to much to me to wear out...Last time I brought it out of retirement was on my 34th Birthday with the same army pants I've been around the world in a few times...since I was 16. It's still in ok shape because I nursed it.
It's a bit rare, If I had to guess the band Simply phoned ahead across the Canadian border and had those shirts pre-made for the Canadian Dates, because they didn't want to pay the Tax on Haling their Shit across the border...which is genius.
I've worn it to so many Special events and places and band rehearsals etc...all through highschool my name was Captain Melvin because I wore army shit and never changed my shirt.
My dad took me to the Melvins on my 16th birthday and he bought me that Melvins T shirt so it means a lot to me.
He was sitting at the bar at the back and said his pants were flapping during the set.
the Last time he probably ever went to a rock concert was back in the late 60's when he saw Iron Butterfly and Stuff like Joe Mendleson and Mike Mckenna from the Ugly Duckings playing at the Gasworks.
The Second set kicked off with a nice DSS noise piece, People in the crowd were covering their ears looking around waiting for it to be over, ...it was delightful.
