The Misfits ruined The Misfits for me.

They're not the Misfits without Danzig, but they farking pathetic.

I'm having a hard time finding pictures of them, but Spencer's used to sell Insane Clown Posse coasters


I didn't realize juggalos cared that much about the wood finish on their coffee tables

You know, you're supposed to wear them with the band facing outward.

My favorite band's merch includes a branded moist towellette, marionnettes, and commemorative armbands. Clearly, these newcomers have much to learn.
/fark, so this can't be obscure
//my fave is the 'band on board' sign for the car.

My favorite band's merchandise kicks ass, thank you very much.

/Owns 3 Energy Domes
//And three different t-shirts
///And a few other various and sundry things
////And always is in the market for more.
//Are we not men?

I was in the Hot Topic at the mall the other day and they have so much juggalo crap I felt like I needed a shower after walking past it.

 
Ashtrey 2008-12-27 08:33:38 PM  
WTF is a juggalo?

I remember the liner for Freedom of Choice was basically a listing of their merchandise. I'd kill for one of the yellow Boogie Boy suits.

Ashtrey: WTF is a juggalo?

Ah, Googled it. I thought only popular bands got to have names for their fans.

 
WhyteRaven74 [TotalFark] 2008-12-27 08:35:42 PM  
Ashtrey: WTF is a juggalo?

A male Insane Clown Posse fan, a female fan is a juggalette. I'd say go to the YouTubes to hear some Insane Clown Posse, but I don't believe in torture ;)

 
Steve_pss 2008-12-27 08:36:46 PM  
I second these inquiries. Exactly WTF is a juggalo? And don't tell me to google it, that just cheapens the moment when I find out.

Oh my college roommate freshman year was a fan. I had to go to sleep with him listening to that crap for 9 months. I'd just never heard that name before.

A juggalo is a farking idiot who's incredibly proud of it.

hot topic is a freakin joke today, they shove so much diverse crap in their stores. the only use for hot topic is for tees, but you can find them cheaper on-line.

 
Dear Jerk 2008-12-27 08:50:23 PM  
I have a Cheap Trick bow tie somewhere. And a Bob & Doug McKenzie bottle opener that I won in Beerhunter contest.

Now you don't have to. You just have to pay $50.

 
Mangoose 2008-12-27 09:02:14 PM  
My favorite bands' merchandise is usually limited to pretty much just t-shirts. That's because they're not complete and utter whores who need to slap their faces on every product or commercial like some living version of Krusty the Klown.

Also, I am cooler than anyone who listens to Their Chemical Romance. And I'm just not cool.

 
Gulper Eel [TotalFark] 2008-12-27 09:17:59 PM  
So that's what my home's missing - a Steve Hackett bobblehead doll.

 
psyche3600 2008-12-27 09:24:02 PM  
I would like to point out that the band "Of Montreal" is at least trying to sell their music using innovative means. I hadn't bought a CD in years until Skeletal Lamping came out, namely because the CD sleeve literally comes to life when you assemble it. The alternative formats simply offer a choice for everyone.

This list seems to be bashing all of these artists and while most of them deserve it (A freaking KISS coffin?), it should at least be celebrated that some bands take the time to mix it up a little...even if it's still only about money in the end.

 
mmagdalene [TotalFark] 2008-12-27 09:28:50 PM  
My Blondie, Adam Ant and Journey t-shirts are timeless, I tell you!

 
thermo 2008-12-27 09:29:20 PM  
my favorite band is my own band, and we don't have shiat for merch

 
WhyteRaven74 [TotalFark] 2008-12-27 09:32:22 PM  
DarKrow: Now you don't have to. You just have to pay $50.

Awesome! And holy crap, that's the same product description that was on the liner.

 
TeddyRooseveltsMustache [TotalFark] 2008-12-27 09:32:45 PM  
Kiss is retarded with their merchandising.

 
snags 2008-12-27 09:45:55 PM  
As a Ween fanboy I'll admit the coloring book is a bit much, but Live at the Cats Cradle CD/DVD really hits the spot.

Retarded all the way to the bannk.

Who is amy wine and why does she have a house crack pipe and heroin spoon?

 
Banacek 2008-12-27 10:47:50 PM  
I'm going to guess that the newfits are responsible for those lights.

 
mandingueiro 2008-12-27 11:05:54 PM  
fark metallica. fark new misfits.
Back in 2000 me and my new bride took some halloween skeleton lights and decorated our xmas tree with it. it looked pretty cool and blended right in. commercialism sucks.

You misspelled 'herion'.

 
EL_FABREZ 2008-12-27 11:10:02 PM  
I saw some young kid a while back wearing a Social Distortion t-shirt a while back. I was like "awesome, where did you get that shirt?" and he said Hot Topic. I wanted to tell him I hated him for making me feel old.

It's a pet peeve.

A couple of years ago I saw a set of resin teddy bears dressed up like the Ramones in an Urban Outfitters store in DC. If a band has resin teddy bears, they ain't punk.

/damn, Joey, you're going to hurt yourself rolling in your grave like that

I thought we all agreed as a whole that Hot Topic is not punk rock!

/Damned interwebs!

Id get the Ween coloring book. Customize your Boognish.

 
Ed Grubermann [TotalFark] 2008-12-28 01:10:58 AM  
I still enjoy my Laurie Anderson postcard book.

/And I'd kill for a Cheap Trick bow tie. Or a Rick Neilsen signature 12-neck guitar.
