What's in your collection of rock gear?

This encompasses t-shirts, posters, adverts, buttons, keyrings, tattoos, etc.

I personally collect all the above (aside from tattoos). My button collection is insane, though. I have loads of Sparks merch, with a burgeoning collection of Roxy Music-related items.

Are there any artists that dominate your rock collections?

This one will be interesting. Remember: just for this thread, records/CDs don't count.

T-shirts and pins would be my main collectables, but my collections are painfully small, single figures for both :(

Best design for a t-shirt ever in my opinion! So simple but cool at the same time! I wore out the long sleeve version I had of this! Also, I'll never forget the Christian knucklehead group my college friends were associated with questioning me up and down about it! :lmao:

Hendrix tee shirt is all. I had security gear from a Stones concert but sold it.

I have a lot of mint concert tee shirts from the 80s. I have a bunch of buttons. I have a chest full of Circus, and Hit Parader type magazines from the 80's. I also have a bunch of posters, especially a lot of Zeppelin posters. I also have maybe twenty mint LP's of various hard rock/metal bands. I have a Nikki Six bass pic from the Theater of Pain concert. He threw one, and it stuck to my sweaty forehead...It was pretty funny. I also nabbed a second pic off the floor, but I gave that one to my friend.

My collection (which I am finally posting about, obviously) is a rather excessive one.

I'm actually sitting here in an ABBA t-shirt.

I have a jewelry box pocket full of buttons. (I have a pinback promoting the Knack on my jacket, and countless Sparks buttons, a bunch of ABBA buttons, etc.) Other shirts promoting Roxy Music, the Beatles, Rolling Stones, Velvet Underground, and one Sparks (god you wouldn't believe how hard it is to find stuff like that). Maybe others, I don't remember.

I have two keyrings on my house keys/whichever car I'm driving during the week that are tiny replicas of two Sparks records ("Kimono My House" and "Indiscreet"). I used to carry around a John Lennon tote in high school, and a small Beatles purse for a while. I have loads of poster adverts and professionally printed pictures (which are basically useless). Some old posters from my younger days.

(I actually have a giant poster of beautiful Debby Harry to my right.)

I have a stack of music-related books. And I do greyscale-to-colour photo renditions as well as colour restoration on whatever musician I find myself interested in.

I'd venture to say that music is basically 80% of my existence.
