Many Rock Bands rocked the music world with their Rock music and influenced the lives of peoples that listen to their music and extends their influence through their fashion. Many die-hard fans of rock bands imitates the clothes of their favorite bands. When the band change their style of clothing their die-hard fans sure follow their way of clothing. Many die-hard fans buy T-shirts that has a printed names and logo of their favorite bands. Not so long ago, band T-shirts were only available at specialist music stores and exclusively worn by die-hard fans. Invariably, they came in black and a men’s size XL. Now, the band T-shirt has been reworked into tight little tees and tank tops that come in all sizes and colors.
What is curious though, is that bands on shirts are more likely to have been inducted into the Rock’n’Roll Hall of Fame, than currently topping the charts. The Ramones are a case in point. They started playing the dive bars of New York in the mid 1970s and soon became underground punk rock heroes. But, they didn’t sell many records and never had much commercial success. Relegated to the fringes of rock, the Ramones toured relentlessly until they finally broke up in 1996. With three quarters of the original members now dead, it’s a cruel irony that the Ramones are more popular now than they ever were when they were together. It’s not their sound people are interested in though: it’s their image. The Ramones, along with other hard rock bands of the era including AC/DC and Led Zeppelin, are suddenly hot fashion properties.
Arturo Vega has been the Ramones’ creative director since the band got together. He designed the group’s crest, an eagle logo modelled on the US Presidential seal. Vega manages the group’s licensing deals from his loft in lower Manhattan, and says rock’n’roll has become a fashion prop: “Fashion has always been an important part of youth culture, but it’s unfortunate that the people buying the shirt don’t know the band. It’s sad for the Ramones.” Vega gets up to 10 requests to license the Ramones’ image every week.
Today you can see different kinds of band t-shirts with different name prints of bands namely The Used, Nirvana, Green Day, Rage Against the Machine, Led Zeppelin, The Cure and other famous rock bands. The band t-shirt will remain in the rock fashion for how long? As long as there are die-hard fans that wear band t-shirts it will remain as the rock music remains.
