Turns out I have a nickel allergy,
so I would always get rashes on myself,
and this is the come and go.
Gotta love the come and go.
I get a lot of my jeans from Amazon.
I hate going to the store.
Hey, this is Joey from Bad Flower,
and welcome to the tour bus.
We're on tour right now in 2026.
It's called North American Tour 2026, Real Creative,
and we're out promoting our album, No Place Like Home,
and I'm gonna be showing you some of the stuff I wear
on this tour.
First thing here, you caught us on a good day
because yesterday was laundry day,
so I just need to pull everything out here,
and you get to watch me put it away.
Everyone asks me where I got these jeans.
They think they're so cool,
and if I stitch them together myself.
No, Amazon did that for me.
So I got these on Amazon, and when I buy clothes,
I usually don't buy them for tour.
I usually just buy clothes when I see something that I like.
Like, for instance, this here.
It's one of my favorite sweaters.
Instagram ad just got me.
I'm usually not a sucker for that kind of thing,
but this time, I thought it was cool,
and it actually turned out okay.
I love these.
I guess I never really go for a color theme.
Our band doesn't really have a color theme kind of thing.
We just keep it real,
but I do find myself gravitating to a lot of red,
red and black.
Next, we're gonna show you the jacket closet.
We keep our jackets in hydrogen peroxide, apparently.
This jacket is very cool.
This was made for us by a fan in England.
This is for me.
She sewed on a bunch of different patches
from a bunch of different sections of our career.
That guy is so rock and roll.
That's from one of our songs.
This is on one of our merch items from back in the day.
No place like home.
We have this flower.
It's a party from our song Xanax,
and she's very, very awesome.
And she's also made Josh something
that you'll see in that video as well.
So I love this jacket.
And then here, my girlfriend made this for me.
And because I love Dreamcatchers,
I have a whole wall at home of Dreamcatchers
that I collect on tour,
and she made this with Dreamcatchers all over it for me.
So this is one of my favorite jackets.
I believe they're like iron, but I think it's beautiful.
I love this jacket.
This, I wear every day.
This is one of my favorite sweaters.
I think I got it at, it's either Target or Walmart,
but I do love Def Leppard, and I love pink.
So day-to-day, pre-show, I'll probably be doing,
so if I'm just chilling on the bus,
oftentimes, it's the shorts and these ridiculous sandals.
Sorry you had to see that, but if not this,
then just a pair of jeans.
But usually, just hanging out comfortable,
and then I get changed probably five minutes
before the meet and greet,
usually into what I'm gonna be wearing for the show.
But yeah, usually just a sweater,
because oftentimes, it's cold on the bus,
and just shorts, because legs don't get cold.
These pants, from a company called Worn Star,
and I wore these last night.
I wore these with, I like these, actually,
because they got the laces up the sides here,
and they kind of flare out at the bottom.
I wore these with, oh, fun fact.
I got this belt and another belt in New Zealand,
because I was wearing another belt
that had a nickel buckle.
Turns out I have a nickel allergy,
so I would always get rashes on myself.
I couldn't figure it out,
and then I switched to not a nickel belt,
and no more rashes.
So I wore that last night, paired with
a nice, legit Avril Lavigne merch item
when I went to see Avril Lavigne with my girlfriend.
So that went really well together,
as well as the black jacket
that was made for us in England.
These here are hang-in closets.
This is my girlfriend's, this is mine,
and I usually pack all of my shirts in here.
So I don't like to go under the bus every day,
into the bay, in indoor suitcases,
and get shirts out, so I usually have everything here.
We have a very full bus this time.
I usually like to keep my pants on here as well,
because I hate going down under the bus,
especially when it's rainy or cold.
But it's very full this time,
so I do have to keep my pants under there.
But it was laundry day, so I have a lot of my pants in here.
This is a legit Reba McEntire tour shirt from the 90s.
I didn't pick this up on that tour,
but I did actually see that tour.
Reba McEntire with Brooks and Dunn, I think it was.
That was very cool.
This is one of my favorite shirts.
I forget where I got this,
it was probably a thrift store actually.
But it's very comfy, and it's long,
it makes me look thinner, we all like that.
My girlfriend's favorite shirt, she steals a lot.
Maybe I'll wear that today.
You know, I don't fold these
when they come right out of the dryer.
Mills Record Company, Kansas City.
Very, very cool record shop.
And I always stop in there every time I'm in Kansas City.
I think I bought one of our CDs now, too.
I like that again, but it's a lot of red stuff.
This is a cool one, this is a Rolling Stones shirt
that I got at Walmart.
Yeah, it's still a little dirty, it looks like.
I'm gonna have to run that through again.
Got this Rolling Stones shirt at Walmart.
Fun fact, I have, I think,
close to 20 Rolling Stones shirts from Walmart.
They, for some reason, always have Rolling Stones shirts,
and there's like a different one every week,
and I've built up a collection.
I also just got a Rolling Stones tattoo.
It's only rock and roll, but I like it,
by a friend of ours named Summer.
Her Instagram is Slim Reaper Tattoos,
and she's actually here again today
doing tattoos for some of us in the band.
These are just a good pair of jeans.
So I'll wear these day off, day on, doesn't matter.
They're my only pair of jeans, I think,
without rips in them.
Damn good question, what brand are they?
Nobody knows.
Nobody knows who makes these jeans.
These are honestly probably another Amazon purchase.
I get a lot of my jeans from Amazon.
I hate going to the store.
These here are a good off day, on day.
They're like sweats, but one of my friends,
it calls them my parachute pants.
He's like, hey, you guys going parachuting today?
I'm like, no.
But again, with the red, I love that.
These pants, guess where they're from.
You're right, Amazon.
I can't read where they come from,
but they're big, baggy, they're heavy,
and they're just comfortable.
So I've worn these on and off stage.
Pretty much everything I have will go on and off stage.
Our band isn't very precious about stage.
We like to look real up there.
We're just four real dudes.
Right here is a bunch of, and we love this,
when fans bring us bracelets and stuff
related to the band in some way.
White Noise, that's one of our songs.
Heroin's another one.
This one says Bad Flower.
London for one of our songs.
Another Bad Flower one.
This is Let the Band Play.
And this one here, oh, this is my name, Joey.
So we love that kind of thing.
And usually on tours, I'll wear them until the tour's over,
and then I have a little thing at home
where I put all the fan bracelets and stuff.
So I have a big collection of those.
Look like I'm going to a rave, but it's good.
Maybe I'll switch hands.
No idea, I'll rock with this tonight.
So I come out here into the hallway.
Our tour manager had the brilliant idea
to put shoe racks on the back of both doors,
because this bunk alley was just littered
with shoes, we were tripping on them in the night.
These are my shoes, they shouldn't be so spread out.
These are all my shoes.
These, they make me run really fast.
I love these.
These I got at DSW, as well as these, I believe.
But I like these, I wore these last night as well,
with that Avril shirt.
Oh, these are Stacey Adams, Stacey Adams boots.
I have another pair at home that are brown,
These are my berry colored Converse.
I like to wear these a lot, Converse are fun.
As well as these, everything's just very dirty.
Realizing that now that I have to show it off.
And that's all of my shoes.
I had another pair of boots, black pair of boots,
and the heel part started ripping off,
so I had to throw them away.
So now I'm out black boots.
Oh well, we can go back in.
Okay, and then this is my hat rack.
Where I hang all my hats.
We got vans, we have, okay.
These were given to us at a venue.
This was St. Andrew's Hall in Detroit.
But a lot of Live Nation venues will give you these hats.
Backstage on the road again, say Live Nation.
And I love hats, so I always gotta,
even though they're the same hat,
I always gotta take a hat.
See, here's another one.
This is a hat from a company that still exists
but have changed their name.
This is the Come and Go.
Gotta love the Come and Go.
And I could never, I started going into them
because we would stop at the Come and Go's a lot
when we were touring in a van.
We'd always have to fill up,
and especially around the Midwest,
it was always usually a Come and Go.
And I went eventually and tried to find some of their merch
and they changed it to K and G.
And that's not, that's not the point.
I think that's funny.
Also red.
This is a Harley Davidson hat I got at a thrift store.
I like the colors a lot, so call me a poser.
Check it out.
Another one, and then this,
my friend's band, Highly Suspect.
Little raccoons on there.
These are all, all the hats that I've brought.
I have a huge hat rack thing on one of my doors at home.
Thanks for checking out all my clothes
that I brought on this tour.
Again, this tour is called North American Tour 2026.
