Take a trip through 25+ years of overkill shirts

A quick history lesson:

I'm a 23 year veteran of the metal scene, 35 years of age. Most of you know me as Drac, or bloodmetaldonor. the topic here is my collection of tee shirts by the BEST band in the world, OVERKILL !!! I first heard the boys back in 1988, when the hello from the gutter video was all over headbanger's ball. By late 1991, they had surpassed motley crue as my favorite band, and i guess 1993 is the official year that i started collecting. I found my first 'kill shirt in a mall, and once there was one, i had to have MORE !!

In the 17 years that have passed, i've been... "obsessively gathering" one of every official overkill shirt that i can find/afford !! Yes, i've even collected a few bootleg shirts that were cool enough to be worthy. During your travels you will see a few shirts that have the same print on them, and differ only by short sleeves and long sleeves. Yes, i consider these "different" and as such, need both versions in the collection.

Official shirts are posted in chronological order (to the best of my knowledge and ability) and split by decade. Bootleg and fanclub shirts have their own respective pages. Photos in the want list section are not in any order. Please keep in mind that i do NOT trade shirts, as i have nothing to trade!! If you have any shirts in my want list, here's a few ways to contact me:

email - bloodmetaldonor@hotmail.com

metal shirt collector forum - http://shirtchaser.forumieren.de/forum.htm (sign up, look for bloodmetaldonor)

myspace - http://www.myspace.com/thrashdrac

Last note of importance, NONE of my shirts are for sale, so don't waste your time asking!! thanks and ENJOY!!

Overkill Rocks Times Square Despite Bomb Threat 5/2/10

Taken directly from Blabbermouth.net

Elliot Levin of the New York Hard Rock Examiner reports: "Hordes of metalheads were among the thousands of New Yorkers crowding the barricaded Times Square last night [Saturday, May 1], as a failed car bomb prevented access to the OVERKILL-headlined concert at the Nokia Theater.

"A car bomb, which authorities are calling 'amateurish,' caught fire, but failed to explode around 6:30 p.m. in the heart of Times Square, literally around the corner from the Nokia Theater, located at Broadway and 44th Street. Within an hour, the entire area was cordoned off from 43rd St. til 48th, and from 7th Ave through 8th. Traffic quickly became a gridlocked nightmare, and police, for the most part, refused to allow concert-goers and others close enough to get into the theater."

Read more from the New York Hard Rock Examiner.

Meanwhile, Kevin Alba from MetalAsylum.net has submitted the following report from last night's concert to BLABBERMOUTH.NET:

"I was at the Killfest 2010 show at the Nokia Theater in Times Square last night which featured OVERKILL, VADER, GOD DETHRONED, WARBRINGER, EVILE and WOE OF TYRANTS.

"Some time between VADER and OVERKILL's sets, word started filtrating around the venue that there was a bomb scare outside just one block from the venue.

"While police officers evacuated other theaters and venues in the immediate area, the OVERKILL show continued without a hitch. Text messages were coming in from fans outside the venue that at a certain point police stopped letting people into the area of the Nokia Theater and had barricaded the area off. Some fans who were trying to get to the show could not get in and were turned away.

"As the show ended, there was a large police presence outside of the venue and they were sending fans away from 7th Ave. as the car bomb investigation was taking place just around the corner.

"The news reported once I got home that a Nissan Pathfinder was found with propane tanks, gas cans, fireworks and timers. The mayor revealed that a full-blown investigation was underway and they do not know who did this or why.

"OVERKILL played to more than a three-quarters-full Nokia Theater, easily one of the largest U.S. crowds I have seen them play for."

OVERKILL's setlist was as follows:
1. The Green and Black
2. Rotten to the Core
3. Wrecking Crew
4. Battle
5. Hello From The Gutter
6. Feel The Fire
7. Ironbound
8. Coma
9. Bare Bones
10. Gasoline Dreams
11. Overkill
12. Bring Me The Night
13. Elimination

Encore:
14. Necroshine
15. Old School
16. Fuck You/Sonic Reducer
