Guns N’ Roses are a worldwide phenomenon. They’ve been popular for over three decades in a career that arguably hit its peak pretty early, but has still given rise to solo careers, guest appearances, multimillion album sales and sell-out tours.
In this guide, we’re looking into the best Guns N’ Roses merchandise you can get in 2022. While this isn’t the greatest of times for new music from the band, it certainly could be the golden age when it comes to buying merch with the famous logo and album covers, as their selection of merch continues to grow.
Official holiday sweater
Yes, you really can buy a Christmas sweater from the band’s official store. It’s a little disappointing that they didn’t choose to go for the “welcome to the jingle bells” pun, but we will admit that this is one cool item of clothing and an amazing gift for the Guns N’ Roses fan in your life.
Face masks
We also live in the age of the face mask, and there are loads of amazing choices. The band has created their own range of masks but there are also many unofficial versions on the internet that you can find. This is a great way to announce your love for the band when you are out and about in public.
Jigsaw puzzles
Well, I guess if you were around the first time the band got really famous, you might be getting to that age where people buy you jigsaw puzzles, anyway. It might as well be one with artwork from your favorite band on it. These are available from the official website of Guns N’ Roses.
T-shirts
This is a band with some really iconic artwork. Wherever you go in the world, if you see someone wearing one of their shirts, you will probably instantly know the logo. As well as finding the original logo of the band, you can get tees featuring their album artwork.
Coffee mugs
Another classic piece of merchandise for your favorite band. You can get your hands on a coffee mug decorated with the famous artwork from Appetite for Destruction, and announce your love of the band while you sip your coffee at work or when you have guests around.
These sort of merch items make great gifts, and you don’t have the stress of trying to work out what size someone is, as you would if you bought them clothing.
Patches and button badges
Guns N’ Roses belong to that proper hard-rock genre of music where the fans can definitely get away with wearing denim jackets with sew-on patches, and button badges on their rucksacks.
People love these patches because you can fill your jacket and other items of clothing with them, professing your love for G N’ R as well as your other favorite bands and artists.
Fingerless gloves
What’s not to like about fingerless gloves, themed in the branding of your favorite band, right? You can express your love of Guns N’ Roses, use your phone and keep your hands warm all at the same time. This is an officially licensed piece of merchandise that goes well with other apparel items from their merch collection.
Socks
This is another piece of merch that it is safe to say not every band offers. You can get your hands (or feet) on some socks with the band’s album artwork on it, all officially licensed. You can even put them on when you’re wearing your work uniform, safe in the knowledge that you are repping a beloved band even when you’re forced to wear other clothes.
Conclusion
We’ve only really scratched the surface and explored the official merch that is on offer. If you delve into the world of Etsy and artwork relating to the band, you will find even more merchandise, including huge canvases and prints.
As a band’s merch game goes, Guns N’ Roses are undeniably one of the very best groups out there. They have dozens of really cool items that you can buy as a gift for the fanatic in your life or add to your personal stash of merch to show your undying love for the group. There’s even a Christmas sweater.
