POP STAR BILLIE EILISH SHOWED HER LOVE FOR DEATH METAL AND PUNK AT A RECENT CONCERT
At a recent residency show in London, Eilish wore shirt that looked like it was patched together with band logos. It’s tough to make out all the band names on the shirt, but there’s definitely Motorhead, The Misfits, and the death-thrash band Goul who were the ones that shared the news. Name 3 Ghoul songs, Billie!
Eilish received praise back in 2019 from Rob Zombie, Cradle of Filth and Type O Negative when she wore a Frankenstein’d shirt that stitched all three bands together.
