    Sure it's fine. :) The OP said he was just curious and people were discussing just fine and then someone made a comment that this was stupid but he meant not wearing a shirt, if you wanted to I believe, and then others said the thread was stupid but it just isn't and so on... It's just a discussion and could even be fun if it was turned that way. It's an opportunity, ya know? You saw the thread about a band member acknowledging a shirt at a show that brought back good memories...that was pretty cool I thought. :)

  • You wear flannel shirts? HAHA. I havent seen those worn in a decade atleast. But I swear Im not judging. :lol:[/quote]
    In the Pacific Northwest, they never really wear a fashion statement. I still wear flannel shirts in the fall and winter when it is cold outside.[/quote]


    I wasnt judging I swear! Just saying, I havent seen those in a WHILE. Where can you even buy them these days?[/quote]

    flannel and the whole "grunge" look is actually a trend right now.

    There's an old rule that you never wear a band's shirt to their concerts. PJ fans seem to disregard this completely! Any particular reason? If you're at the show, why do you need to be wearing a PJ shirt? Just curious.

    this is not a rule. especially when it comes to Pearl Jam where the sense is that everyone should have the right to do whatever they want, not follow someone's made up rule. i love seeing everyone's past concert t's. i love seeing people wearing 10c t's. there are no rules when it comes to Pearl Jam, everyone has their own prerogative. even if you want to call the PJ community a "jamily", or a fan a "jamhead" or "jammer". i've never understood why people get bothered by these things. there are bigger issues to worry about in life. we need to stop prescribing rules of conduct for eachother and just let each other be.

  • I have heard of this BS rule before. Diehards usually wear the shirts-just gonna happen. Y not when we spend so much on them...
  • I agree with the OP that it's an "old rule" because once you get out of high school, noone really pays attention to ridiculous conventions like this. If you're outside of work, wear what you want as long as it's not blantantly offensive. And don't show off your belly if you are overweight :lol:

    There is no rule.

    I probably wore a PJ shirt to 3 of the last 6 shows I attended. (Just a guess I don't care enough to remember).

    If you get worked up about this then you are "That Guy"..... whatever the fuck that means. ;)

    I've worn PJ shirts to shows before, but most of the time I don't. I just wear what I feel like wearing...sometimes it may be a PJ shirt, other times it may not be. Honestly, I think its great to see so many people in PJ shirts at the shows.

    At one PJ show where I wore a PJ shirt, some guys started pointing at me, laughing, and yelling "that guy that guy"...what a bunch of idiots.

  • Is this a US thing, because in all honesty I've never heard of it in Europe or Asia?

    To point and laugh at someone because they're wearing a bands shirt seems a) immature and b) rude to me

    Unfortunately not. Thanks to everyone who PMed offering tickets... I just wasn't able to justify the expense of the last minute airfare/hotel. That's okay because I still had a great run of shows this year and, of course, I'll always have the boots to listen to :) Hope to see everyone at some shows next year !

    I don't wear PJ shirts to PJ shows, but not because I think its lame or anything.

    It's just that If I wore a PJ shirt , then I would not be able to wear my lucky Ramones shirt !!!!

    and then the whole show would just be fucked for everyone !!!! Then I would be getting hate mail, and bombs , and shit sent to me in the mail, and I can't have that . :D

    So you see, when I'm rocking out in my Ramones shirt at a PJ show, it's really in everyone at the shows best interest. :D:D:lol:

    no, really , I'm serious. :? :roll:
    Peace, Love.
