For that headbangin' couple, the ones you owe a wedding gift...

Sorry, no Damned, even though I borrowed their song title. But -- Misfits, ACDC, Metallica, galore!

I'd buy them only to see them thrown.

They don't comment on how much vomit those will hold. That is a crucial metric I need defined before I think about a purchase like this.

Gah, that boot is hideous with or without the AC/DC logo.

I would love it if when Lemmy kicks it (by being attacked by a werewolf, two draculas and the ebola virus simultaneously) that I could own some of his earthly remains in this. I'd keep it by my bedside and I think it would be a real deal sealer when I have a gentleman caller. "Oh that? It's where I keep the remains of a dead God."

ya know, pirate bowling, i think we had similar thoughts, at the smae moment. i was just thinking, "might make for a good urn..."

The rest of their collection seems to be in the same vein. And now I'm really hungry for a mix-tape sandwich.

This is fanfuckingtastic.

Surely you don't actually believe this is the best of the web?

Seconding this is fanfuckingtastic. And thirding if it's allowed.

I think people are forgetting that Lemmy will never die.

Those would go nicely with my bottle of Kiss This.

This is Kitsch. Which would be a good bandname. With umlauts.

Boot?

WHAT?

I don't understand. The dissonance between the two competing iconographies kind of makes my head hurt, yet somehow I can't help but agree this is fanfuckingtastic!!

Well, I'd say that's a step up from those... mirrors?... that would have a band logo on colored glass, superimposed over krinkly foil, and framed. I had one of those which I won at the local traveling carnival for getting a ring over a bottle or something. Mine was Def Leppard.

Fuck yeah. The seller just accepted our offer on the house banjo and I want to buy, and now I know where to get the decor!

I'm pretty sure those little mirrors from the town fairs were mainly designed for the the inhalation of certain drugs. Just as I'm fairly confident that many of these items (I'm looking at you AC/DC boot) may have been the result of the consumption of similar drugs.

Sometimes life just makes more sense when you realize that a lot of people in it are really, really high.

i think this is actually quite fabulous.
and yes, not_on_display - i was totally reminded of the coin-toss win-a-dish booths at the county fair.
posted by lapolla at 11:54 AM on February 4, 2009

This is exactly (ok, roughly) the sort of thing I would buy if I were (someday, please thank you) swimming in it. This is the best of the web: Artists selling cool shit.

oh jesus fuck. i just learned the lux interior is dead. i'd FPP it but i'm too damn distraught. of course, i immediately thought of the urn banter upthread. pierre blanc needs to make a special one, just one, for lux. now i gotta go buy some whiskey. damn.

Ok this is wonderful and makes me proud to be oldschool. It would look lovely, tastefully mounted on the wall above my hot pink tape deck.
posted by SheMulp AKA Plus 1 at 2:49 PM on February 4, 2009

Are these more than just new graphics printed onto old items? If so, how can I do it? Because I am not paying more than $20 for such an item, let alone $200 + shipping. That is, if these items are actually for sale, and not artistic statement.

Brokeback Mountain?
AC/DC?
Five hundred Euros?
Boot?

. . .

WHAT?

Oh, but think of the fanfic that could be created with those terms. Or not.

(I like Gros vase avec rose ACDC, myself)

I guess they don't have any trademark laws in France. You can buy amold for very similar looking items. And make your own.
