You cant put that on a t-shirt! 5 bands that dared to do just that
Branded merchandise can usually help keep bands on tour, and some have decided to make their merchandise as eye catching, gory and over the top as possible to shift the stuff -heres alook at some rock bands who’ve sold merchandise by the bucketload because of their genuis.
Cradle of Filth. The Ipswich boys and girl have always liked the hit the controversy button to give the daily mail something to scream about. The most famous example is the ‘Jesus is a c**t’ t-shirt, which sells extremely well, but has landed their fans who wear this t-shirt on the occasional court appearance on public indecancy charges. Just as offensive is the ‘guilded c**t’ t and the ‘get thee behind me satan’ t-shirts. Very ‘tasteful’, in a twisted way. Love them or hate them, theres no denying they know how to move merchandise and upset your parents.
Iron Maiden. With the introduction of zombie mascot Eddie, Iron Maiden have shifted millions of t-shirts with Eddie on. From album covers plastered onto trainers to specialised gig t-shirts to forever remember the gig, you can believe Eddie will be on the front of those t-shirts- and that they will sell extremely well.
Cannibal Corpse. Another band that go for the shock tactics -but in adifferent way to Cradle of Filth. While cradle are content with obsenities and nuns, cannibal corpse will be gutting everything/one in sight on their merchandise. From the mind of artist Vince Locke, most of the artwork shows entrial eating, worm infested vile zombies, helping Cannibal corpse in the process shift merchandise by the thousands. Just dont upset them.
Afew bands with some very interesting ideas of promotional merchandise:
Kiss. A majority of bands probably would try to sell their nans to get the fame and fortune they want. Demon bass player Gene Simmons also sold her house and dentures as optional extras. Items range from a set of collectable coins, board games, comics and even a Kiss themed coffin, which doubles up as a fridge when your not dead.
Manowar. Protecting themselves with the ‘warriors shield’, Their own brand of condoms -dont go to fight the orks without it- they may save your life or stop you having some viking-orc hybrid ‘child’. Not as amusing, but still pretty unusual- xmas tree decorations, ear plugs and bottle openers.
