Why do they always try to fit the drawing all over the shirt. a well-placed single logo or drawing has much more power.

Judas Priest / Rob Halford are fucking awesome. But this...this just sucks.

I have a hard time finding anything new to wear for performing as it is, and while reading this I start thinking "oh cool, maybe some cool leather shit?"

I click the link and I'm greeted by a series of "fashionable" FAIL clothing.

Some of them are really good-looking - too bad they cost so much. And I do like shirts that have drawings all over them, at least if the drawing is well done and colorful. Like the shirts for Behemoth's newer albums.

But I was also expecting to find leather items here.

the zues design on the t shirt is what zeus is supposed to have looked like, it's only cus viking metal nicked the look that he looks like a viking....

They might add leather to the stock in time, they have only just started out...

To be honest, I don't think i'll be buying them, i ahven't got the money and more likley to spend what money I ahve on band T-Shirts

They're not all bad. Problem is i can foresee them on the racks at Hot Topic, giving 'core kids another reason to feel validated: "we're wearing clothes designed by Rob Halford! He's like, a metal legend, right?"

I was really disappointed that its just stupid over-priced t-shirts. Come on, Halford! You are Mr. Hell-Bent-for-Leather! This clothing just looks like generic stuff I could buy at JCPenny's or Hot Topic.

I don't think 6 graders can relate to the slogan "metal god", but they sure can relate to the style. This might be the graphic artist in me, but I'm so damn tired of seeing those fonts! Especially in the "pray for metal" one.

I somehow doubt 3 Inches or Nike for that matter will charge those types of prices. Honestly, $65 for a t-shirt? Seriously? Are we paying for the manure the cotton plants are growing in now?

This is getting kind of disgusting. This is just a cash grab and a bit of an abuse of his own name. Anyone who acquires these articles of clothing through any means other than theft are pretty dumb.

Clothing line, cool. I'm never the first one to yell "shill" - but with those prices, its really hard not to. Maybe if they were charging 15-30 per t-shirt like most companies do, I'd understand, hell, maybe even purchase one, but unless the t-shirts are woven from the hair of Christ himself, thats bullshit.

I really don't think he understands that most metalheads are middle to lower middle class people...$65 t-shirts usually get you beat up or socially ostracized by other metalheads.
