Megadeth Tour Tee Shirt Vintage Concert

Megadeth is an American heavy metal band from Los Angeles, California. Guitarist Dave Mustaine and bassist David Ellefson formed the band in 1983 shortly after Mustaine’s dismissal from Metallica. Along with Metallica, Anthrax, and Slayer, Megadeth is one of the “big four” of American thrash metal, responsible for its development and popularization. Their music features complex arrangements and fast rhythm sections, and lyrical themes of death, war, politics, personal relationships, and religion.

Presented is an original concert tour tee-shirt from Megadeth – A Kill…For Thrills. The black shirt is vintage and measures 16.5″ across the chest and the 24″ from top of collar seam to bottom. Vintage tagging is unbranded – M 38-40 single stitch on sleeves. Nice skull with guns design on the front – “A Kill…for Thrills” and shooting silhouette design – “LIVE FOR METAL –  DIE FOR MEGADEATH” on back.

This lot is from the T-Shirt collection from the estate of Chuck Landis (aka Largo) veteran promoter, concert best known as co-founder of the Roxy West Hollywood rock club in the early 1970’s and in 1980.  Many of the T-Shirts come from performances that were at the venue.  They have been locked away for many until now. 

The Rox bar was a regular hangout for John Lennon, Harry Nilsson, Alice Cooper and Keith Moon Heidi Fleiss in the 1980s.    So you can only imagine what stories can tell?
