Willie G. Moseley Posted January 31, 2007 Posted January 31, 2007 That reminds me of the those "Killer Vintage" t-shirts and posters that the dealer outta St. Louis has marketed with superimposed instruments; they're hilarious. His most popular one is the famous Lee Harvey Oswald being shot by Jack Ruby picture---from left, James Leavelle (light suit, cowboy hat) has an ES-335, Oswald appears to be crooning into a microphone, and Ruby's moving in with a left-hand sunburst Strat.My personal favorite, tho, is "No, you can't sit in!" It's the famous photo where the Saigon police chief shot the Viet Cong collaborator in the head. In the modded photo, the police chief is bashing the collaborator in the head with a Gibson Explorer, and the collaborator's playing a harmonica....morbid, but hysterical. Shoulda been in the NATIONAL LAMPOON, back when it was funny.

serial Posted January 31, 2007 Posted January 31, 2007 Then they had the politically incorrect "I Rike Res Pauls" shirt too. I think that they deleted that from their website a while back though.

That's awesome.
Willie G. Moseley Posted January 31, 2007 Posted January 31, 2007 That's different from the poster I have---as noted earlier, Leavelle had an ES-335. Gibson must've squawked (wouldn't be surprising), and Ruby had a Strat. What's more, at one Dallas show, Leavelle was there, signing posters, and his signature is on mine. One of the most brilliant marketing moves I've ever seen at a guitar show. Another one from their assortment was the "Axis Trio" of Hitler, Mussolini, and Tojo playing guitar, bass and drums.
BCR Greg Posted January 31, 2007 Posted January 31, 2007 I have one of the "I Rike Res Pauls" shirts around here, somewhere.It always gets a reaction.
Bruiser Brody Posted February 1, 2007 Posted February 1, 2007 AHAHA!!! Poor DLR is going to have to put up with THREE Van Halen's now. How many shows will they do before it falls apart or will it implode during the first rehearsal and the whole thing is canceled!haEdited cause Dr. Kelso told me to.

Hamerica Posted February 2, 2007 Posted February 2, 2007 Ah, nothing better than showing up at a guitar show wearing an "Ozzy Oswald" shirt. One of my favs. My other one is "VEEronamo" Killer Vintage indeed.I thought the Power Trio was a little over the top, but Hirahito I thought was in good jest. However, I try and stay away from stereotypes or Peter Conda won't do my laundry or grill crab legs. Hamerica
