coolest/craziest/funniest band merch ideas

[mawso]

what have you done, or have you seen done, or have you just thought of for band merch?

shirts, stickers and patches are cool, but what are some more creative ideas..

if i can find a quote for it that costs the right amount for a small run, i might get some pocket mirrors printed up with our band's logo on it - so that the punters have a cool surface to rack up on

[Mr. Foxen]

I always wanted band ties, so I could wear them in office jobs.

[MichaelZodiac]

I always thought those Sleep rolling papers were the best stoner merch idea ever.

I love cool band merch as much as anyone else. I'm guilty of buying AC/DC Bic lighters, I admit. But I have to say that Jerry Only of the Misfits has single handedly ruined that band with the over saturation of merch(and writing one of the worst albums of 2011). The Misfits have been my favorite band for nearly 25 years but when I saw Misfits teddy bears , I said enough is enough.

End of rant: I have always been a fan of band hoodies and beanie hats. Beer koozies are kick ass too

Tenacious D used to sell cum rags with their logo on them. I always thought that was brilliant.

Rocket From The Crypt had soap dishes I think way way back.

[VOLVO)))]

Cough has coozies that read "Tune down, drink up"

[grimniggzy]

Bands should make 40 oz. coozies.

High on Fire had hot sauce.  The Melvins had some canned food.

[Discö Rice]

The Locust had coke mirrors, barrettes, and aprons. I had one of the aprons, and wore it daily while working at a pizza joint in Seattle.

I have a couple of novel ideas, but I'm saving them until such time as the ideas can be implemented.

I remember a band in Cleve-O had their log on the plastic filter thing in the urinals at bars around town. Everytime I pissed, I saw their logo.

[Chovie D]

not particularly crazy but Ive always liked matches. Theyvare cheap and easy to give away for free, they are useful and they are cool. Got some Weedeater matches, Elvis 77 with the Shepard Ferry drawing or whoeevr the famous guy is, a few others.

Big Business had lobster bibs at one of their early gigs.

Do y'all log right into the urinals in Cleveland, or did you just forget an "o"?

[Chovie D]

in cleveland we like to log right in the urinials, we call it "dry docking"

[RAGER]

Not to be confused with "upper decker"

[I,Galactus]

I wanted to get a Slayer hockey sweater but them shits was esspensive.

Rollins Band had a coffee mug (Part Animal, Part Caffeine). Madonna had a 12" glass votive candle (would be easy to make - buy plain candles and put your own sticker on it). Leningrad Cowboys had beer with their own label.

A local girl band (Well, 3 out of are girls) has men's briefs and girl's thongs.

right, the upper decker is when you log into the water tank of the toilet. usually takes a while to discover if youve been "upperdecked", whereas a drydock is instantly recognizeable.

local punk band in town had bricks for sale. Like, red building bricks for houses with their name paint-penned on them.

I hope they bring down the house every night they play. Coming from a punk background, I've had lit cigarettes , beer cans, ashtrays, spit, and numerous other things hurled at us and that was a friendly crowd. I wouldn't want a brick with my own band name on it bouncing off my cranium. I think Nerf footballs would make a better replacement.

[Ayek]

Beastwars had their own beer brewed by some craft brewing outfit. Fancy label and everything.

[The Shocker]

I want some of that so bad.
