TOP THREE THINGS I’VE EVER BOUGHT AT THE ROCK SHOP: NO 3!
Iron Maiden T-Shirt
The story!
Iron Maiden was the first concert that I ever went to in 1985 at the Colesium, it was the Powerslave tour, Twisted Sister opened for them. I went with my friend Cam and his dad, It reeked like pot so bad I got sick, it was magical.
I bought a shirt and wore it like crazy, the older it got, the better it looked. The problem was though, it was an adult xs and since then I’ve bulked up to an extra medium. I’ve been looking ever since for a replacement.
One day while checking the sale rack at The Rock Shop, I found this one, it’s perfect. The two colour crappy iron on looks like it was reject from the Dog’s Ear. You can barely make out that it’s Eddie. If it didn’t say ‘Killers’ on it, you might think it’s a Tina Turner shirt. It kinda looks used and I like to think that some stoner dude walked in there, grabbed a new 3/4 length, and left this one for me.

Love it, I used to have that same Killers shirt, the OG one. Wore it out years ago and have missed it since. Have you checked out Flight 666? It’s so good. Even if Maiden isn’t your thing, it’s still a great rockumentary – a must see.
