When Rock'n'Roll Merch Gets Weird

When Rock'n'Roll Merch Gets Weird

Bands are constantly looking for new ways to splash their logo onto products, beyond the standard t-shirt and cap. Sometimes it goes too far, but it never seems to stop us devoted fans from digging deeper into our pockets.

This year it’s over 40 years since Kiss first ever appeared in a comic book, which has been an integral and popular part of their merchandising ever since 1977, beginning with their appearance in Marvel Comics' Howard the Duck #12. Over their career of nearly four decades, Kiss has licensed their name to more than 3,000 products.

 

Here’s some examples of merchandise from bands we love that kinda took it too far, some bordering on plain creepy...

Slayer's Christmas Sweater

Alice Cooper's Eyeliner

The White Stripes' Sewing Kit

Rammstein's Dildos

U2's Achtung Baby Condoms

Kiss' Coffin (Kasket) 

Morrissey's Pillowcase
