In 1991 I had a Trixter shirt. I think I had 2 actually. And a Winger shirt too. Some kid saw me and from across the room he yelled out "Stewart". I thought he was talking about Rod Stewart. I didn't really look like him but I had shoulder length hair and liked his music so I thought it was a compliment... until I got home and turned on MTV.

That was pretty much it for my rock band t-shirt days. I should've kept them at least. I think I gave them all to the Salvation Army.

B&B wasn't a series til 1993, so you were still wearing Winger shirts in 1993, and ergo deserved every bit of mockery that you received for doing so.

You are correct! I must’ve got the shirt in 1991 and wore it for 2 years.

Good thing we are only talking about concert shirts here because I’m pretty sure I have some button up dress shirts that have been with me for decades!

By all means, wear that Vinnie Vincent Invasion shirt to your grandchild's first communion with pride. Who cares if everyone thinks you're autistic/deeply mentally ill?

In all seriousness - life is short. Wear whatever the hell makes you happy.

Which was a year too late. Once Lars threw the dart that rag should've gone straight to Goodwill.

I have a Zack Attack World Tour 1992 shirt --- fictional band from Saved by the Bell. Never ceases to garner a few chuckles or comments.

The Randy Watson tour shirt is a good one. These are the tees that are fun at any age. Also the Who Farted? shirt from Revenge of the Nerds... never grow up.

One is never too old to look stupid in public. It a choice to be made. When I see others look that way, I shake my head. I connected the dots and chose not to look like them. Same goes for checkered vans, Hawaiian shirts and leather "rock" jackets.

I don’t think age has anything to do with it. You can be a professional banker 50 hours week, but still wear an old Slayer shirt to cut the grass. I mean as long as you look good wearing it. If you’re fat and bald, maybe just stay inside.

I've got a Double Deuce shirt that gets the same kind of reaction.

This is funny, because the night before my middle daughters first communion, her Godmother and I went to see, what we'd call Adler's Appetite now, but Jizzy Pearl was singing, and Kerry Kelly was playing guitar. I don't remember what they were calling themselves then. It would have been June, 2004.
We were dressed respectfully for church in the morning, but the night before may have been questionable.
