Went to the truck and scored 2. That’s all they allowed.

 Very happy, Detroit always  has killer litho art IMO

Glad you landed one. Share some pics dude!

I love the baseball card look. That's dope!

That was a fun trip. Thanks for sharing. Great stuff. Is it odd the one I couldn't stop looking at was the Beastie Boys Pez? I really enjoyed looking at your creations wishing I had some tshirts.

Aman, you never cease to amaze bro. Looks insane!

Anyone see the new pinball machines? One of them has the lithos all over it, including your chance to own a Kobe haha. I loved the original gnr pinball machine and considered it a grail. These new ones based on NiTL are pretty dope! pinball

I've used that destroy something beautiful line a hundred times, probably along the bad decisions with women hahaha. Im a terrible human.

That Rolex story is awesome. I had never seen nor heard of it. Glad you shared it.

Finding beauty in flaws is vastly different than condition issues. The 150 print run doesn’t matter. There are sports cards with 25 print runs and damaged corner affects value. And the Mona Lisa, come now, surely you jest with that comparison. 

Sorry dude, I completely whiffed on explaining that. I understand how condition effects value in a collector world. I was only speaking for myself, that if I owned the only dinged Kobe, I would be just as happy and proud of it as the dude who has one mint. Its just how I am wired. Due to it being limited, it just wouldn't bother me like it does "normal" collectors. Value has nothing to do with MY collection. Thats all I meant.

The Mona Lisa thing is from the movie/book Fight Club. It struck a cord with me many moons ago.

Now that I have played therapist with myself and opened the door to many bad choices with women, I'm going to see my self out hahaha.

With only 150 in the world...that ding doesn't mean shit to me. "Even the Mona Lisa is falling apart." I have never been a collector of anything to that extreme, infact I probably lean the other way and find beauty in the flaws.

9k holy shit! I think it can now be counted as a grail (not that it wasn't before). That exceeded my expectations.

Whats up old homies? Covid has kept my world spinning, hope you are all doing well!

@Stlconcertsthat's odd right? Since they branded this fall tour and not NiTL. I get how the sand has run out....but it's odd to see the branding after it didnt appear on any other lithos. 

That thumb is odd though.

She also has three fingers and no elbow so, wouldn't count on anything.

I had no idea we had celebrity memebers! Hahaha sorry the first thing I thought of was Nunez or Peck insulting a tattoo with only 3 fingers. I can almost hear a mix of their voices saying "you drew a beautiful face, just to drop the ball on the rest of her anatomy".

I think it's a dope design. Especially since vegas has so many lithos already in the tank. Coming up with something new should be embraced. Nice work facefirst.

Edit. I probably should have quoted the other picture, since the new vegas one dropped....oops.

If we are going Black Sabbath, I always thought a lil Electric Funeral jam session followed by Axl covering Fairies Wear Boots would be kick ass.

What about Wish You Were Here? They really dropped it

They did drop it. And it was one of my favs.

I haven't been to as many shows as probably the majority of the board has but that might provide a different prospective. As the overwhelming majority of folks I have run into are seeing them for the first time, the longer the better even if it sacrifices a bit of quality. They will only being going to thier hometown show, so roll out as many tracks as you can. Especially for the price.

I think after hitting a bunch of shows your opinion may swing to quality over quantity. 

Food for thought....

Was the arena packed?

It was fuller than I expected with as many complaints on ticket prices as I saw online. (Basically a full house)

The other 3 shows I have been to I have been in the pits, so take this opinion with a grain of salt. Last nights crowd felt like an LA crowd for sports. It was more about saying you were there. Every other show I have attended the crowd seemed to be louder singing along to knockin, patience, sweet child, etc. The crowd was loud in applause dont get me wrong. Maybe it was being so far removed from the pits I dont know. 

I will second NYC and say that slither is much improved from last year. And Dead Horse was awesome. Personally I miss wish you were here.

I'm bringing my kids so I wont be in the pits. Have fun in there gents!

Lol'd at that bit 

In their defense, they also double as pimps.

Thank you for sharing! I love the color scheme, so vibrant. I really love the tread at the bottom.

The great outdoors is a huge part of the Utah experience. You cant go more than a house or two down without someone owning a trailer or some sort of atv, boat, dirt bike, what have you. Mountain biking is also a huge activity here, especially in southern Utah. Mormon missionaries ride their bikes while "serving" and a good number of them continue it in the mountain biking version as a hobby. Downtown, our drug dealers use BMX bikes to deliver their goods. 

Obviously the Utah mountains are kind of a big deal too.

Really cool design. I also liken it to the SoCal trilogy.

Thanks for the offer but I’ll be here in Cleveland. I was in SLC last year. Zion and the whole state is beautiful. 

Its wonderful once you get out of the urban sprawl. The 15 corridor from mid state to almost idaho is awful. Especially compared to where I am from.

I once made the drive from Cleveland to Toledo and was pleasantly surprised how lush and green it was. I expected more urban sprawl and was blown away by the beauty outside the city.

I designed/illustrated the SLC poster. I can say that it features none of those themes. Sorry

I'm excited either way. The arch in Zion park is iconic here. The red rocks are just fucking cool be it Moab, St George, or Lake Powell. I cant draw a straight line to save my life, so take my art criticism with the salt in the flats or lake. 

Are you going to be at the SLC show? I will buy you a beer!

Cant say I am a fan on this one. Hopefully the NOLA folks like it.

I'm with holo. It isnt a top 50 for me overall, but this leg? It's a top 5 hahaha. Based on lowered expectations this time around, I consider it a winner.

I've been looking at the setlists, albeit not in detail - but I got the feeling that the setlists have been almost identical in length regardless of whether it's been a venue show or festival. They played 28 songs at Louder Than Life, which is a lot more than any other this leg, but it's been a solid 22 to 24 songs ever since then at both festivals and non-festivals.

You would be surprised then. It's mostly the covers that get dumped. Like black hole sun. And one of my favorite parts of the NiTL, wish you were here. We also didnt get patience. I dont know much about louder than life, but ACL being in a city park, has noise regulations and a curfew I didnt know about before arriving.

Maybe I got spoiled by the 30ish song set in Hawaii?
