Ever since my first Volbeat show I’ve seen people wear these tshirts, with different colour prints depending on what year it was mad: Yellow, blue, green, red, and now violet. For a long time I really wanted one myself, because it looked more special than the regular Volbeat tshirts. This kind of shirt is only made occationally: When the bands says O.K. to the guys who makes them; A close friend of the band, and gatherer of the fan-community, which started as an online forum and is now a group on Facebook. The people there, are obsessed with Volbeat, not just fans, but totally obsessed. There’s a flow of Volbeat tattoo’s, decorations, home-made merch, playlists, etc. etc. For a lot of the members Volbeat is beyond anything else. I even remember once when people were discussing who should support Volbeat for their biggest headline show someone thought that would be the job for Metallica. I find it awesome that people can be gathered around a band and their music and get so much joy out of it. Me, I’m just a mortal fan. But when a friend of mine told me the very limited and super-special-awesome VOLFEE tshirts I had seen at every Volbeat concert were available to order again I couldn’t say no.
