Anybody here going to the show tomorrow?

Heck yeah! Didn’t realize you were in the Charlotte area. Meeting up with a Rather large group of friends pre-Show. I’ll message you to tell you where.

also going Saturday to a louder Than Life.

Slashcollection.bigcartel.com

Anyone seen the Slash lithos/posters on his site? Pretty darn pricey. $1,000-$2500. All signed in some capacity.  Very cool looking ones, though.

So there are two, both Buhler’s, and the “Duke” design is much more colorful (and better) than first thought. I love them both. Sure hope we get another tour sooner rather than later! Some new music would be great too!

Love it. Wish it had a little more vibrancy in color, but was hoping it would have some reference to Duke, and they way they are in front of the surfboards is just like the Duke statue.

id LOVE to get one and if anyone there would be willing to snag an extra, I’d be forever appreciative!

hanging this one next to the Troubador for an “Alpha and Omega” would be awesome.

if any of you are there, have fun!

Folks, I can’t seem to figure uploading an image, but pretty cool thing to share.  As I’ve posted on here, I was able to track down the artist of my Nashville 2016 print and get him to sign it.

well, when Ulrich Planer posted on Instagram his art show featuring GnR lithos and the invitation he was using featured the Winston Salem litho art, I messaged him a request for something signed that I could frame with my litho. Well, yesterday he sent an awesome, signed invitation card.  

I’ve corewsponded with Buhler before and I think it’s So cool how these artists have embraced the GnR fans who love these pieces!

Some venues will let you carry in a tube, some won’t. It’s really hit or miss. Best thing is to get it from the merch tent outside before the show if you can.

id love to get one from you if possible!

With the break in the action of the tour, I enjoy this forum for thoughts, opinions, etc.  I recently was looking over the 2017 San Diego litho.  The one that's an homage to Victor Moscoso who had paid homage to Rick Griffin (per lithorati).  Its way more colorful and upbeat by the standard of about 90% of the lithos.  Maybe that is the reason, but based on pricing on ebay, etc.  It must be either the least loved, or one of the least loved lithos of them all.  It was done by Buhler which usually carries with it some popularity.  Is it the departure from the darker, more macabre designs that make it so unloved?

Gildan shirts are poor quality and not the “soft cotton” the official merch shirts are made from. Not the real deal.

There is a Cincinnati at $500 (2 bids) on eBay. There is also 2018 Sweden. Don’t remember seeing it before. LOVE it! It’s a little pricey for my blood, but it’s one I hadn’t previously taken notice of

I'm curious if you guys have any lithos from other bands? I got one from the Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats show I was at a week ago, looks pretty good, though it's not city-specific like the GNR ones. I have a Foxy Shazam tour poster too, a bit larger than a standard litho and I got it signed by the whole band. I know Black Sabbath had litho's on The End tour, but I didn't get one at the show I went to.

More than I know what to do with, these are off the top of my head, but only count anything that is show specific:

-Greg Allman (only 5 offered at the show), Drive By Truckers (signed by full band and artist-Unfortunately, this is post-Jason Isbell), Peter Frampton (signed by Frampton), Phish (two), Red Hot Chili Peppers, Foo Fighters, Sturgill Simpson, Outlaw Music Festival, Willie Nelson (though he does basically the same one and just changes the date/location, but does limit to only 30), GNR (19 of them).  I know there are more...

I also have a couple of show specific promotional posters that I love, Bruce Springsteen, GnR (Halloween show 2010)

I'll also buy some posters at shows where I think they are cool or if it's a show that means a lot to me (Springsteen, Paul McCartney, Roger Waters, etc) even if they are just an overall Tour Poster.  

If there was one show I went to that I REALLY wish had a litho, it would have been the ACDC Show that I saw with Axl.  PHENOMENAL show and would have been cool to have it as a keepsake.

This is really interesting... I have one of my lithos signed. Got the artist from Hatch Show Print who did the first Nashville litho to sign mine.  I’ve also communicated with both Arian Buhler and Sara Ray about gettining lithos signed, but haven’t gotten them done yet. Still think it would be cool to get artists to sign.

i guess because I’m in my mid-40’s, I’ve lived long enough to see autographs go out of fashion due to camera phones and Instagram. Something signed used to be THE thing to have, but it really has transitioned to posting a pic with someone.

if I were you and we’re going to see 4tus, I’d get a picture and maybe a personalized signature on something that you could frame or save with the picture.

i guess pictures killed the autograph star...

Went to see Phish on Friday night in Atlanta. They limit only one litho per person.  Sure someone could get back in line, but I really like that policy.

So I’ve been in Pittsburgh this week for work and saw that Foo Fighters were playing last night. I bought a last minute stubhub ticket and went. Fantastic show! Downside: the 300 lithos for the show were gone by the time I got in. It’s a really cool design. I have really loved the GnR lithos to the point I try and get one for every show I go to that has them. Which made me wonder....

does every band that does them have die heads like those of us on this forum that constantly talk about and critique them?

I do have an Orlando. Had not planned on getting rid of (no plans to sell) but may be interested depending on what you have for trade. Message me.

Question for Uzi you're illusion or anyone else who has framed their own. What was your best method for getting the lithos flat again after them being rolled up in a tube?

looking to get some frames from Michaels, thinking of ordering some 22x28 Mats for 18x24 prints and doing that size frame. Probably will still do professional framing for shows I went to in order to include ticket stub.

thanks for any advice!

on another topic, why have the lithos become so big? So many bands are doing them now and they really are an awesome keepsake now that they aren't the old huge poster from back in the days of old that you'd never hang anywhere.

I'm still looking for a Tulsa litho. Really love that broken Les Paul and the unique size. If anyone has an extra, let me know!

Not crazy about Oakland, they don't need too many of them sports related, but a little MORE Raiders would have been better.

definiteu some hits and misses, and as someone who has accumulated 16 of these things, I really want Tulsa and Milwaukee and I think I'm done...then they will blow is away with LA!

with that said, sure would love to get a Tulsa and Milwaukee. Still have a D.C. For trade with some money to add. Please let me know!

Regarding Tulsa, I thought they may have some kind of "rumble" scene from "The Outsiders"....I'm pretty sure it's based in Tulsa.

but again, I do really like this litho and would love to get a copy of it. 

Don't care the strange shape, LOVE this litho!

I'm a motorcycle/Harley Davidson guy and I've decided I'd love to get the Milwaukee litho. Got a 2017 Washington DC for trade and would throw in some cash with it.

I haven't looked in a while - sounds like prices have gone down considerably.  They were between $400 & $500 when I was looking at them.  I'm not sure who the guy is supposed to be on that litho.  Maybe Hank Sr.?

I actually met the artist at Hatch Show Print. Went by there and got him to sign it. Basically, it was an old poster they put a skull on. Said it was from the 60's and made it sound like it was a political poster. Said they had to be careful that you not be able to see the person under the skull. I love this litho cause it was my first time seeing GnR with Slash and Duff (saw Axl's group a number of times, passed on seeing them and Metallica in '92 cause the tix were expensive to me in high school then.). Plus, them having Hatch Show Print do it is special. However, I don't think it's the coolest of lithos from this tour (still really wanting a Cinci one, my grail).  The Nashville artist (Corey) told him he was quick to call his folks to say, "I made a poster for GnR!" I've got a pic of him signing, but can't seem to load it

I guess they went for the Bourbon, Jack Daniels, look. 

Wow, just thought what might have been if Buckethead was still around with them at the KFC Yum Center! 😜

I may be in the minority, but super excited to see tomorrow night's litho. While Louisville is a smaller market, they have Churchill Downs there, Louisville Slugger bats, and are the Bourbon capital of the world. Hopefully it's a creative one. Incorporating the Derby would be awesome.

i think I've posted about it before, just excited for hopefully something great!
