amaninjapan Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 15 hours ago, The Holographic Universe said: I always like hearing your take on the lithos. You bring a different POV. At least it has the classic, "guns n Roses was here" font. That was used for marketing for the LA pop store, too. Probably a reason it was utilized for this recent litho. I find it very difficult to dwell on negatives and criticism. It's far too easy to hate on a design just because it's not a Cincikobe. Nearly every litho has the potential to be a killer and the execution just falters a little. I love looking at all the unique quirks and amazing aspects of each design and genuinely appreciate these other aspects. And then you have Adelaide Redhead. There's just no saving that one. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a shame but honestly, GitD is such a crutch. I seem to be in the minority here but I firmly believe Paris is relatively underwhelming and the GitD only marginally improves it for me. I mean honestly, if it has been red like the original design and not GitD, I think it would've been better. As it is, it's far too faded and subtracts from the design. Now if the teapot had been metallic foil to make it look like the real life teapot, that might've been pretty cool too... but foil is also a bit of a crutch.

Magnus Cavalerra Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Denver, Minneapolis, and Winston-Salem must be from same artist though, you can notice the similar drawing style and the noise grain on the background. Miami and Little Rock is also possibly from him too. This artist drawing is too simplistic, but i have too admit his choice of color is quite good.

Well I can tell you without a doubt Denver, Minneapolis and Winston-Salem are not the same artist. Miami and Little Rock are not the same artist either.

Grayfox Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 I have to say I do like the Winston art. I was at the show I bought the shirt with the design. I would have got the litho but I wasn't able to pick it up this week. So if anyone has an extra they wouldn't mind letting go for the cost of the litho plus shipping I'd be willing to purchase next week or something.

I was on the fence about even buying one for myself but I caved. I saw lithos at every merch stand I passed right up until GNR came on. Anyone got a blacklight to test this thing out? It would literally be the only redeeming quality on this litho. A fucking teapot... Uzi, now that I know the connection and history to the city, I'm a little better with it. I'm still underwhelmed. I went to college and now work for Clemson University and totally understand licensing could have been an issue, but just figured a Demon Deacon mascot (that wears a Top hat) could have been a home run since they were playing in Wake's stadium. If I'm from W-S, I love it. I'm not, so I'm like, whatevs. I like it for having been at the show, but that's it. And by the way, of the three shows on this tour I've seen, I really think this one was the best! Hate I didn't run into you there bro!

Nalbi Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 That one was easy but I still love the idea. Doesn't look too bad but as usual lately, execution could have been better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought the Minny one even though I'm from Chicagoland. It was better than a lazy Vikings design like Metallica went with on their merch at that show.

KURT19 Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Buffalo is one of the few NFL teams that do NOT have cheerleaders! Lawsuit may still be pending...Zombie cheerleader since the Jills 'died'? I'm grasping for straws here people! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TigerBubba Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 I actually really like this litho. I just think it's a cool one if no city was tied to it. while we all know that Axl, Slash, and Duff are the centerpieces to GnR in regards to this tour, and they had just the three of their silhouettes in the Atlanta one, but I'm not crazy about singling them out. Hell, Dizzy has been around for 25 years and Frank had been around for 10+. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uzi your illusion Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Congrats Buffalo, you actually made me hate my Winston Salem litho a little less. I'm going to MSG for the Sunday show in October. If anyone's going to the Wednesday or Monday shows and not attending Sunday we can trade lithos. Pm me.

Stlconcerts Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 I think if you take the cheer zombie off the poster and stretch the Guns N Roses words a little larger this poster is a homerun. looks to cluttered as it is.

uzi your illusion Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 (edited) Got my hands on the litho from the pop up shop with the grim reaper holding the Appetite playing card. Numbered 43/100, If anyone is interested in trading shoot me a PM. Edited August 17, 2017 by uzi your illusion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
