Totally agree although Ames can put the odd clanger. Their Ames Bros 1996 poster for Ireland was in my opinion the best ever. Their Yeild tour posters are worth a fortune along with some of their recent posters, NYC Kong, Pittsburgh Munk One, Wrigley Cracker Jack to name a few. Steve Thomas did a very cool one for their Boston show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoBucky Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 Ames, imo, has really gone downhill. They just don't seem to have the creativity anymore. Klausen is fantastic, but PJ has started using a lot of different artists in the last half dozen years or so. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Road Crew Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 (edited) Found a few guys selling knock off T-Shirts on Ebay with this image. Is this the official artwork for the German gig? Edited May 18, 2017 by Road Crew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xBrownstonex Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 (edited) Interesting. But i dont know how they would get ahold of shirts beforehand seller claims that these are real though. Design is not the best though the back is pretty ugly http://www.ebay.com/itm/GNR-Guns-N-Roses-T-Shirt-GERMANY-Concert-Tour-2017-Not-In-This-Lifetime-Tshirt-/291931004703?var=&hash=item43f8719f1f:m:mr74DOJC03XqqXQSknn_DwQ Edited May 18, 2017 by xBrownstonex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amaninjapan Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 It has a Gildan tag. I thought all legit GNR shirts just had the Guns N' Roses word logo there and no manufacturer tag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Road Crew Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 The shirt I bought at the merch stand inside the stadium has a Gildan tag, I presume it's legit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foxhillsboy Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 From my experience, the GNR shirts for Not in This Lifetime tour have various tags. For North America tour, I found only GNR logo print with no Gildan tag on the original shirt. For Australia and Thailand tours, only Gildan tag and no GNR print. For Japan tour, most of them have GNR logo print with "Made in Japan" print on it as well. But some of Japan tour shirts have gildan tag with no GNR print and Made in Japan on it. However, only because of the shirt has gildan tag, it does not mean it will always be original or fake. I found that some Thai sellers sell fake GNR Not in this Lifetime shirts (Australia and Thailand tours) by using authentic gildan shirt. The same guy also sell some of the GNR japan tour shirt with fake GNR print and fake "Made in Japan" stamp on it as well. However, the screen itself look so obvious that it is fake. So no matter how good the fake is, the screen may look alike the original one but the color and the proportion of the screen still look off and you can easily tell that it is fake especially when you already have the original one. Also, for people who are hunting for GNR Thailand tour shirt (Demon and Elephant) on Yahoo Auction Japan, please be careful. I saw a seller (username is garyroses777) posted the fake Thailand tour shirts on the yahoo auction in the following links. So if you are currently bidding on these items, they are fake. https://page.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/x487319438 https://page.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/x487715764 So if you are hunting for GNR shirt on Ebay or Yahoo Auction or wherever, try to get as many clear photos of the shirt itself from the seller and you may post the photo or link here. I will try help you check it if I can. Or if the price is too low and the seller has bad rating or is from south east asia or Hong Kong or China, it has a big chance that it might be fake. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Holographic Universe Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 I think there is a chance this is the Germany litho. There is too much thought and detail to be an amateur artist. So, fake shirt or not, I think the art is real. And, if so, shitty litho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uzi your illusion Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 Does anyone have any thoughts on the Tokyo Godzilla print maybe being fake? So many have appeared on eBay and it's usually the same picture posted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No I have one. I bought the first one to hit eBay months ago. Since then though I've seen tons of them listed and almost all have the hand written number blacked out in the picture. Seems like more of those available then any other litho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nzgnr Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 Yep I know exactly the listing/s your talking about I'm also curious to know if all the April Fools that have been listed in the last month by a different seller are also fakes because the person always relists the same number 101/400 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I remember correctly, the godzila lithograph was produced for 500 copies. There were a lot of Godzila lithographs on Yahoo Auction Japan right after the Japan tour as well but I rarely saw one on the same website these days. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seams as though the pic that is being used in those Tokyo lithographs are generic as well looks like they have a crease or is it just my bad eyesight lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus, the Kobe and Yokohama were the most desirable from that run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
estrangedtwat Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 The "crease" in the Godzilla litho is in the artwork. I did a double take when I saw mine. It's in there to make it look "old" I guess? I presume they were selling the Godzilla lithos both days too, so there's probably 1000 of them out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw the Metallica lithos and they are limited to certain types of imagery. Phish has incredible lithos/prints. I agree the exception being the Adelaide shark hoodie design... that is just bad all around. Metallica just came through Foxboro MA and their poster looked like a good bookend for the Guns Foxboro double litho, so I picked one up. It is Ames Bros and very good quality. I can't wait until Guns is back on the road so we can see more litho designs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, the Foxboro Metallica poster is a great accompany print to the GNR one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
