..On The Cover of the Rolling Stone.

[tbs fanatic]

I was in WalMart today and they have some great t-shirts - each one depicts a different front cover of Rolling Stone Magazine. They have some good 'oldies' covers including, of course, an 'early Eagles' front cover. I know the picture is on this site but I just cannot track it down. They are only $10.00 - I'm definitely going to get one.

[Troubadour]

Very cool. I want one!

[Ive always been a dreamer]

Is this the one you're talking about, tbsf? I may have to check out my Walmart for this as well!

... or is it this one?

https://www.eaglesonlinecentral.com/images/eaglesRS79-04.jpg

[tbs fanatic]

Yep, it's the first picture. I didn't see the second one. They had a lot of cool ones actually.

[luvthelighthouse]

I guess I'll have to run to Wal-Mart too. I'd love the second one. I'm curious too see what else they have. It's funny you bring this up, because I was thinking to myself over the weekend... why can't a mainstream store just carry some Eagles t-shirts so I don't have to order them on line. So thanks for the info!

[melrose]

Thanks for the heads up, TBSF. I'll definitely be checking this out.

[GlennLover]

I want one too. I hope they carry them in the Canadian Walmarts, but it's not likely.

[sodascouts]

And $10 is a real bargain!

[Koala]

I want one too!

[Peekaboo]

Thanks so much for the heads up on this. I usually don't go to walmart unless I absolutely need to because 1. I live in a big college town and it's always hard to find a good parking spot 2. I always end up spending way more money than I plan on spending 3. It never fails that I get in the line that takes forever to check out.

I wasn't planning on going to walmart anytime soon but it is now on my agenda for today. And for $10, I've gotta find these t-shirts

[Fan_For_Life]

I'll have to check this out too, as I have yet to own a Eagles T. There are 4 WM on my way home from work. I'm supposing it's in the mens section??

[tbs fanatic]

I think it was the men's section :headscratch: Yep, I remember now. I was looking at them and thinking my brother would like one - then I noticed the Eagles version and, oh well, sorry bro. Next time, I promise :thumbsup:

[Glennsallnighter]

We don't HAVE Walmart!:-(:-(:-(

[Koala]

We don't HAVE Walmart!:-(:-(:-(
We have no Walmart too!:brickwall:

[Peekaboo]

As planned, I went by walmart this evening to get me one of those shirts but all they had were smalls. I needs me a bigger size than that. I will try again at a different walmart tomorrow.

[TimothyBFan]

Funny--my niece emailed me yesterday and says that during lunch hour she ran to Walmart and saw these shirts and was going to buy me one but swears she has never seen me in a tshirt before so didn't. Crap!! She's kinda right, I usually don't wear to many of them but I do wear one every once in awhile. I have tons of concert shirts but seldom wear them but still have to have them everytime I see a concert.

[luvthelighthouse]

I ran to Walmart yesterday (even thought that store makes me feel dirty!) I was looking frantically and all I could find was Kurt Cobain, Rage Against the Machine, etc. So, I combed the rack one last time... paid off... in light blue I found an Eagles one. It's not the one w/Timothy, but I bought it anyway. I'm just happy to have it. TBSF, thanks for the heads up on this... and Dreamer, thanks for the pic, it helped me to see what I was looking for.

[EagleLady]

Why does Walmart make you feel dirty?

[Ive always been a dreamer]

Glad to post those pics, ltl. Your comment made me think that I should go ahead and post the other Eagles RS cover as well. This is strictly an FYI and doesn't have much to do with this thread, but just in case anyone doesn't know, the only other Rolling Stone cover to feature the Eagles was this one last year:

https://www.eaglesonlinecentral.com/images/eaglesRS2008.jpg


I have tons of concert shirts but seldom wear them but still have to have them everytime I see a concert.

OMG - that sounds so much like me. Back in the 90's when I started traveling a lot for my job, I would buy a tee shirt in every city, sporting event, or concert that I went to, but I rarely wore them because they make me look like a box (no, seriously)! I finally realized what a waste it was, but not before I had a huge collection. I can wear the baby doll style, but you couldn't find them a lot back then.

[luvthelighthouse]

Why does Walmart make you feel dirty?

Well, every one I have walked into has a funky smell. Popcorn or yeast smell from the restaurants in them. The clientele is kinda suspect as well. Just overall, I don't really like Walmart. Granted, I'll shop there for certain things, but really, I find it kinda sleazy. JMO. I'd rather shop at Target.

[TimothyBFan]

Wow--don't even know what to say about that. I admit, there is one Walmart store in this area I try to avoid because it isn't kept up and the clientele at that store are a bit scary. But the rest of the Walmarts in the area are nice. I do prefer to shop at Meijer myself but not because Walmart makes me feel dirty. I simply wont shop at any of the stores on the end of town that one bad Walmart is on because it is a very bad area and I don't like to go into it. I have nothing against Walmart and apparently the Eagles don't either since that is where they chose to sell LROOE.

[EagleLady]

All our Walmarts are well kept, and the clientele are very friendly, My mom worked at one. Albertsons is one store I hated going to, cause the place wasn't well kept.

[luvthelighthouse]

I'm not asking people not to shop there. I was asked a direct question and answered it. It is MY opinion of the Walmarts I have been in. Obviously, if I wanted LROOE, I had to go there... but just because the Eagles made a deal with them, doesn't mean I have to like their stores. Again, I shop there for certain items, but it's not my first choice. It's just my opinion, others could love the place and that's fine.

[EagleLady]

No one said you did LTL.

[Ive always been a dreamer]

As we always say here, everyone is entitled to their own opinion. I say let's get this thread back on topic. If anyone cares to continue debating the virtues of Walmart, they can start a new thread in CT&W. :)

[Fan_For_Life]

Is this the one you're talking about, tbsf? I may have to check out my Walmart for this as well!

https://www.eaglesonlinecentral.com/images/eaglesRS75-01.jpg


This is the one my mother found for me. The shirt itself is plain light blue. Not bad for $10 and you get 12 free issues of Rolling Stone Magazine. I will say I woulda preferred the other one,,,but this'll do.

[EagleLady]

FFL, Look at all that manly chest :drool: :makeout: I think you will like that one better ;)

[Fan_For_Life]

I'll wear it til the color starts to fade(not continuous of course). Then I'll have to put it up for safe keeping.

:) That's not something I dismiss but not on my priority list. When I see a nice looking man it's the eyes, smile and hair. But I know what you mean. :thumbsup:

[EagleLady]

:lol: Now, Now FFL, You must have noticed the chest area as well, all kidding aside, I do notice the eyes, and the hair especially on Don :heart:, Your mom has great taste :thumbsup:

[tbs fanatic]

WooHoo! Just picked my t-shirt up :partytime: I'm loving it :heart: Added bonus - you can send in a card for 12 issues of Rolling Stone - FREE! A great t-shirt plus 12 issues of Rolling Stone for $10 - now that's a deal!

[Fan_For_Life]

She's awesome. :thumbsup:

When I called to ask her(she works at WM), her tone was as if she knew what I was calling for. Her "oh yeahs" and "uh-huhs" pretty much gave it away,,course I didn't figure it out til she held the bag up for me..:)

[Glennhoney]

I'm heading to my Walmart on the weekend...wonder if they're availbable in Canada..will let you know...

[tbs fanatic]

I'm thinking of getting another one to wear as a nightshirt :rofl: Who needs hubby when you're wearing that :evil::rofl:

[luvthelighthouse]

Mel, you beat me to it! I was going to post a pic of mine. I just tried mine on and there is a hole in the seam! :sad: I guess I'll have to exchange it... I hope they still have my size, they only had five total!

Hey, we can all meet up and wear our t-shirts ... then we'll look like an official fanclub! :hilarious:

[Jojo]

I went to WM today to pick get one, but they were out.:-x:brickwall:

[Koala]

The Shirt looks great! I like the blue color. :jealous: :)

[Troubadour]

Melrose, that is so cool! I love it!

(Er, Jess... if I give you the bucks, any chance of shipping one over to me with the bits and pieces I left at your place? :angel: I'll find something fantastic to repay you with, I promise!)

[GlennLover]

I was at Walmart in a nearby city yesterday. I will check out my local store today. If they don't have them I may just have to cross "The Border" into the US (Maine). I'll have to go no later than Sunday as we don't have our passports yet & as of June 1 we will need one to enter the States.

P.S: I prefer the bare chest version :drool:.

[Peekaboo]

(Er, Jess... if I give you the bucks, any chance of shipping one over to me with the bits and pieces I left at your place? :angel: I'll find something fantastic to repay you with, I promise!)

No problem at all, Lou. :thumbsup:

[Stars]

I hope they have them at my "clean" Walmart, otherwise, I may have to brave the filthy one!:thumbsup:

[EagleLady]

You can do it Carla, it's for the benefit of our guys ;)

[Stars]

Thanks for the encouragement, EL! I was hoping to go tonight, but didn't have a chance. I'll try tomorrow, and hope I find it at the first one, the clean one. If not, I will remember your words of support and make my way to the filthy one. Hopefully, if the shirt is there, it's clean!:)

[Peekaboo]

I went back to my hometown to visit my family during the past 2 days and I checked out the walmart there and they didnt' have any of the Rolling Stone tshirts. I had actually forgotten all about the shirts 'till I was driving back home this afternoon and received a text from someone that reminded me to stop at one of the 3 walmarts that I always pass on my way back home. Luckily the first one I stopped at had them.

[Fan_For_Life]

FFL, I think you will like that one better ;)

You were right I do like it. Fits me real well too. I'm wearing it to a friends b-day party today to show it off.

[EagleLady]

I knew you would ;)

[Glennhoney]

..sigh ..:-(...didn't find any at my Walmart today...does anybody know if they're available in Canada??????

[GlennLover]

sigh ..:sad:...didn't find any at my Walmart today...does anybody know if they're available in Canada??????

I tried Fredericton & Moncton over the weekend. No sign of any. :-( I'm going to try in Saint John tomorrow but I'm not getting my hopes up.

[Ive always been a dreamer]

I also stopped in one of our Walmarts last Thursday, but there were none to be found where I looked. Are you all finding them in the Men's department? I'll probably stop in another one later this week to see what I can find.

[luvthelighthouse]

Dreamer, I did find mine in the men's department. It was on a fourway rack. The topper (sign) said, "Rolling Stone". I missed it the first time around. Remember to keep your eye out for the light blue. I exchanged mine today, due to the rip in the side. They didn't have my size so the one I got is too big... but that's okay, I figure it'll shrink... I had to have it though. :nahnah:

I'm not sure if they are in Canada or not. I do know that they are giving away 12 issues of Rolling Stone (as mentioned above) as part of their marketing...so I'm not sure how that would come into play with Canada. Good luck, I hope they make our way to our friends up north!

[Ive always been a dreamer]

Thanks for the info, ltl. As I said, I'll try again later this week.

[Wildthyme]

I had no idea this shirt even existed until today. I was at one of our three Walmarts and I went over to the men's section to pick up a couple of men's tees for $5. I saw this display of all these different Rolling Stone tees and I thought "wouldn't it be cool if..." and then I spotted Don's fuzzy head :) They had only one in my size and I had to have it... I checked Walmart #2 but they were out and I am going to hit #3 tomorrow and see if I can find one more.

[ticky]

YESSSSSS!! Thanks Cami!! *G*

[amusefilms]

That was my favorite Eagles line up. I remember that photo, so I did a little searching and found the story from that Rolling Stone:

http://www.cameroncrowe.com/eyes_ears/articles/crowe_jrl_eagles_chip.html

It was written by Cameron Crowe, if you haven't read it, I think you might enjoy it (I LOVED re-reading it).

I haven't seen the t-shirt yet either (though I'm still looking!).

[Fan_For_Life]

I did enjoy reading that and plan to reread it later today. Thanks for posting the link. I love how it was such an intimate experience for the writer.

[Ive always been a dreamer]

I know - I love going back and reading some of these old articles even though I don't have much time to do it. I remember one day last winter, I went to our Joe Walsh Online site to look something up and came across something interesting. I ended up spending the entire afternoon reading various articles on all of the sites and really enjoyed it. It was better than reading a good book! Soda has a lot of good stuff on the sites that can keep you occupied for many hours - very addicting! :wink:

Anyway, I went to another Walmart on the other side of town a couple of days ago. Unlike the Walmart that I went to last week, they did have some of the Rolling Stone shirts - but, unfortunately, no Eagles. Oh well - I guess my mission continues!

[EagleLady]

Awww hang in there Dreamer, You will eventually find one :thumbsup:

[GlennLover]

I've been to 3 Walmarts, each in a different city, so I don't believe that the T-shirts are in the Canadian stores. From past trips to a US Walmart I recall that the clothes in that store were completely different from the clothes in the one at home in Canada. Oh, well. Maybe I will have to try to make my own T-shirt.

[Stars]

I finally made it over to Walmart this afternoon, and found the T shirt! Boy, it was really hidden away and hard to find. Thank goodness someone posted a picture of it, and I just looked for that color.
EL, I thought of you when I was getting it, as you encouraged me to brave the filthy Walmart if I couldn't find it at the clean one.:hilarious:
Luckily, I found it at the clean one-nice that you also get a bonus free subscription to RS magazine!:thumbsup:

[EagleLady]

I am so glad you found it Carla, now you can have a half naked Don and Glenn on your chest anytime :twisted: Well, maybe only at night :angel::hilarious:

[Stars]

EL, you are so funny! :hilarious:
Actually, I am thinking about wearing it to the Glasgow, Scotland Eagles concert on 4th July! LOL. I wonder if I will be the only one in the whole place wearing one of those shirts??:nod:

[Fan_For_Life]

I would certainly wear mine if I had an Eagles show to go to. :)

[Prettymaid]

I got mine today! I thought I would abstain but the peer pressure on here is incredible! I just had to have it! :hilarious: But the price is right and you just can't go wrong with the free magazine offer. Thanks to TBF Fanatic for initially finding them and starting this thread. Now we just need to have a Border sleepover!

[GlennLover]

Still no T Shirts in Canadian Walmarts:weep::headshake: !

[eaglesvet]

I finally went to my local Walmart and saw their varied collection of Rolling Stone T's. They had one young half-dressed Eagles T-shirt left in a pale slate blue, Men's size L...which I bought for a mere $7, and am happy to mail to whomever wants it. I just don't care for the way it looks on me. Even though it's a Mens size L, I'd say it's equivalent to a Ladies size 12 or 14. It's 100 % cotton, so account for shrinkage! PM me if interested.

They had another shirt from a June 2000 issue with Kid Rock's picture, but the most prominent of the Rolling Stone headlines was "Don Henley Returns!" :drummer:

[Ive always been a dreamer]

EV - I'll take it if you want to unload it. I wasn't able to find one at my Walmart, but I did see the Kid Rock one that you're talking about. I'll send you a PM in a few minutes.

[ticky]

Wild brought me the Eagles/ Rollingstones Tshirt this weekend! YAY! thanks Cami!! I have a new night shirt.. *G*

[scottishlass]

why cant we in uk get this tshirt, only rolling stones shirt i see, is the actual rolling stones lol

i dont want the rolling stones i never did like them. mike jaggar looks like something from jacksons thriller video

[Troubadour]

I received mine in the post today from Peekaboo! Yippee! It's gorgeous. I have a feeling he'll... uh, it'll be going to bed with me tonight.

[Fan_For_Life]

I've worn it a few times. I've gotten a few compliments. I honestly didn't think I would like the way it would look on me but I like the way it fits. :)

[eaglesvet]

OK, Dreamer, Tshirt went out in this afternoon's mail. Should be able to hug the boys to your chest in just a few days...:thumbsup::grouphug:

Hey, I don't think I've ever quoted myself before!! Dreamer, or anyone else, do you know what Rolling Stone was referring to in June 2000 that Don was returning from?? Or to??

[Freypower]

All that meant was he had just released Inside Job.

[tbs fanatic]

Did you guys notice that Wal-Mart now has large sized purses/bags with Rolling Stone covers on the front. I have not seen an Eagles one yet but they do have one with a STEAMING HOT front page pic of Johnny Depp (swoon) :thud:

[ticky]

I saw those!!! I was really hoping they do the newer Eagles one.. but so far no luck.

[sodascouts]

Yeah and I saw them and looked through them hoping for an Eagles one! I guess at this point we have to be content with the shirt.

[eaglesvet]

AZEaglesFan has alerted us to the fact that there is a Bruce tote bag available...wonder what era? Have to check that one out! :thumbsup:

[AzEaglesFan]

The picture of Bruce looked pretty recent to me, don't throw anything but I'm not a big Bruce fan so I may be way off. Also I looked today and they had several at the other store that the first one didn't. Still no Eagles.:sad:

[Peekaboo]

I saw those bags too. I noticed them about a month ago but didn't think to mention it because I didnt' see any with the Eagles.
