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 That's cool, dude! That's the same reason I want one - that was actually my first time seeing GNR with Axl and Slash. I didn't get to see them back in the day, and even though I actually like Chinese Democracy I held out for the reunion. I'm not a collector, but I do want the one from that show.

You bought yours personally, so you know they're legit. I wouldn't worry too much about it. I never had my #194 up for sale. I just noticed someone had a #194 for sale on ebay and brought it to everyones attention on here that it could potentially be a fake.

amaninjapan Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 Yeah, that's definitely very strange. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pastortine Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 So, if #194 has a duplicate, and #196 has a duplicate, does #195 have a possible duplicate? (#195 is the only one of the four I bought that I've actually sold) If we are doing a registry I have #194, #196, and #197, and I have sold my #195.

amaninjapan Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 I mean, I don't doubt it's possible it could be a numbering mixup - after all I've seen multiple anomalies when it comes to litho numbering. I've seen a legit litho numbered like "x/300" when it was actually limited to /250. I've seen the same litho numbered in different colored pens (one was black ball pen, another was blue). A small bunch of Philadelphia 2017 were numbered upside down - Instead of being numbered in the bottom right, the person who was numbering them didn't realize they had the box upside-down, so the ended up being written in the top left of the litho and upside down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pastortine Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 (edited) BTW - I chose to keep the #194 for myself because it is in the worst shape (the edges are slightly crinkled). I'm not worried about it's value because my son and I are keeping it for sentimental reasons. Edited November 10, 2017 by pastortine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing he has a real St Louis litho and he's just a lazy motherfucker and stole someone else's photo, because I've seen that happen many times. Being lazy and stealing the photo is one thing....but he even has the same number in the listing's heading. Anyway...looks like he has ended the auction early and taken it down.

If he goes back up with his own picture of his #196 then I won't cry foul. BTW - if you are reading this and have a legit #196 then more power to you... on my end it has just been weird seeing two of my numbers up there.

Flankmank Posted November 11, 2017 Share Posted November 11, 2017 These litho designs are often complete misses, sometimes great and rarely brilliant (Japan and Europe legs) IMHO. Which is good from a personal budget perspective to keep me from being tempted to buy. Just interesting that when I compare to other acts with gig specific posters. They don't go with the big name gig poster artists... Emek, Slater, Sperry, etc. Wonder if that's a conscious decision...assume so. Any thoughts on that?

Arian Buhler may not be well known, I don’t know, because I never cared about lithos before GNR. But, Arian has definitely made a name for hhimself off This tour. Compared to what I’ve seen from other bands, GNR posters are fucking awesome. Most bands have garbage shit. The only other band that has quality lithos to me is Phish.

ZoSoRose Posted November 11, 2017 Author Share Posted November 11, 2017 LOVE the subject matter! Such an awesome and iconic image, but the execution leaves a lot to be desired for me. Also now that we know NITL has another year to go, we have more lithos to look forward to lol.
