I hear this being constantly debated on Toolarmy and Toolnavy, so let’s decide once and for all! Is it cool to show your support for the band at their gig’s by wearing one of their shirts?

It’s an unwritten rule of the concert. You never wear the t-shirt of the band you’re going to see because if you didn’t like them you wouldn’t be there. However wearing a t-shirt of the opening band is acceptable.

It’s not acceptable. You end up looking like “that guy.” I’ll spend most of the night making fun of you.
Another thing: the choices for this poll were bullshit, man. To me, they’re all geared toward: “it’s OK to wear the band’s shirt” when clearly it is not OK.

to be honest, who really cares if your making fun of them? Now your that guy and i’ll spend the next 5 minutes thinking about how big of a douche you are.
So who invokes more ridicule – those who wear Tool shirts or those that wear Cowboy hats imitating Maynard?

I’m not the person to wear a band shirt to a concert but cool if that’s your thing.
I’ll throw this into the mix – what about a festival eg Big Day Out?
Yes or No?

The douche that I am is going to leave it at this: I went to the show in Jacksonville, Florida recently. Every, and I mean EVERY single person I bumped into wearing a Tool shirt was a complete dick. “Wasn’t that the worst show you have ever been to?” What? Were you even watching the same show I was? “Well, [brushing off their cool new Tool shirt], clearly you haven’t been to as many shows as I have [scoff scoff].” “Hey man, where’s your Tool shirt?” Oh man, I didn’t wear it here, you know? “Well, [scoff] I got this… Read more »
Why is it that everyone seems to have run into a pretentious Tool jerk except for me? I run a Tool website and I’m still yet to meet one…..

Needs an “I’m over Tool” option. I find it sad for somebody to be wearing band merch at their concerts, I find it even sadder for people to be wearing A Perfect Circle shirts at their concerts as was the case back in 2001. Do you really think Maynard gives a shit if you’re wearing your fanboi shirt?
Rock up like any civilized person and wear civilized clothes.

This a a funny topic to be talking about because I have always seen people at shows wearing the bands shirt and I laugh. I do find that NIN fans are much more judgmental of this than TOOL fans. Here is a funny story that is NIN related… So I wore a NIN shirt to a DMB fan and got nothing but terrible stares and one girl came up to me and said “How can you even appreciate Dave and wear a NIN shirt like that?” Talk about ignorance at its best!

Wear what you u want I think its worse wearing a tool shirt to the pub. I think there good for festivals no matter whos playing, just because your wearing a certain tool/apc/puscifer/PLG/peach or whatever shirt doesnt mean your trying to impress any of the band members because they wont see you anyway!!
Im not voting on this i dont like the options, no offense its a hard one to give answers for.
p.s If i see anyone at any of maynards shows wearing an AK il try to knock them out myself.

Seriously, who gives a fuck what other people are wearing? Just because someone wears a t-shirt doesn’t mean they support a band any more or less than the next person, or more importantly it doesn’t mean they think they are better fans than anyone else! Sure there are dicks out there that think they are bigger fans than other people but until I see a list of tool fans starting from 1 to 1,000,000 (or whatever) i’ll just categorize people as fans or not, no matter what they wear!

about wearing band shirts
1) we’re there for the band, not you, so get over it if someone has a shirt supporting the band
2) you ever ask someone in the band what they like and motivates them, or is all this about you?
Also if you’re a dag like me, does wearing a Tool shirt to a gig (like I did in Sydney) somehow make you even daggier?
I never wear a band’s shirt to their concert. Why else would you be there if you didn’t like the band?
Is wearing a Tool shirt to a concert any different than wearing a guernsey or club colours to a sports game?
Wheres the “who gives a shit” button? No offense Hellboy.
