Congratulations to the winners of the 3 Roger Waters t-shirts from bandUP! Check out the winning answers:
– I deserve to win this Roger Waters t-shirt because, besides being a huge Pink Floyd fan and believing they're not just a rock band but a philosophy of life, I was crazy enough to get a large tattoo honoring the band (photo attached). For this and other reasons, I deserve to win this t-shirt! Thank you!

– I deserve this shirt because Roger Waters was a defining figure in my childhood and journey through the world of rock; I owe him the musician I am becoming today. When I started listening to Pink Floyd, from the age of 12, I always wanted to know who the guys behind the band were, so I started researching them, and here's the guy who caught my attention: Roger Waters. The guy was a genius (and still is). I became interested in studying music theory, learning to play an instrument, so that in the end, I could learn to play his songs. I remember the first time I managed to play the solo in Comfortably Numb; it was magical. Because of him, I discovered what, for me, is one of the greatest pleasures in life: the art of composing a melody.

– Because I've never been and never will be just another brick in the wall. I listen to, go to shows, and live Rock and Roll (from beginning to end, from Classic to Death Metal) since I was 14. Every year my pile of tickets and records (vinyl, even!) only grows, because each album released, each show attended fuels this LOVE. Those on the outside have never understood and will never understand what we feel. Especially the The Wall show that happened in Brazil. For me, the first part of the show, the song "In The Flesh?", where the plane hits the wall, man, that was beautiful. I had that song stuck in my head for months. Then came Lollapalooza, the Foo Fighters show, and what song did they play? "In The Flesh?" That song lived inside me for a year. I have a habit of buying merch at every show I go to, and at this show I lost my card and couldn't buy anything. Winning this t-shirt means reliving that same show every time I wear it. It will be the show alive in me.
