I still distinctly remember when Guns N’ Roses and Metallica played at Arrowhead Stadium when I was in middle school…and I was not allowed to go…

The reason I was not allowed to go will not be explored in this article, but all I can say is that I’m still not over it…

But back to my point: at school, the day after the concert, TONS of kids who had been there had concert shirts on…but some of them looked like cheap imitations…and that’s how I learned about the wonderful world of bootleg items!

Now, are you ready to see some pretty funny bootleg examples?

Let’s take a look.
