Specifically Vegas 01-01-01, NYC 2002 or the Hammerstein shows? I have a flyer I bought on eBay for the Vegas show that I got in 2001.. no idea if it’s official or not. I would love an official litho from those since I was in attendance. They had some for the Vegas residencies but I think those were the only lithos they did pre-reunion, and the band didn't even sell them, they were given out for free at the ticket booths.

Also did them on the 2012 Up Close and Personal tour; included one with each Gold ticket (think that’s what they called it) purchase. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that I think about it, the 11x17 Vegas residency lithos were given out with 'VIP tickets' or whatever they're called. and the 18x24 were given away at the ticket booth.

Stryker Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 This whole thing is bonkers. I understand we don’t know the FULL story, but it’s hard to not immediately side with the artist on this. Why does GnR need to fuck up the ONE thing that they were doing sorta well with. Let artists sell APs…what’s the big deal? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

backinblack Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 Stryker my brother used to do artwork for indie labels and I think artists sell APs as a way to make cash because the label don't pay them any money but end up owning the rights to the artwork. Pearl Jam don't pay artists so that's why you see so many artists selling APs of their posters. But I thought Bravado was different they pay each artist for their art submissions which is why they don't usually do APs. Woulda thought getting paid cash to submit artwork would be the preferred way to get paid. Wanting both cash and APs sounds like wanting to have your cake and eat it too. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shame the tee shirt design was black as opposed to being a big white square on a black shirt.

AxlIsGod. Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 yeah, this one ain't it. It's something about the perspective on Axl looking up that just looks, weird. Ah well, Buhler has to miss every once in a while, right?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I realised straight off it was related to the movie but I needed someone else to point out it was the woodchipper. I thought it was the scene on the ice but couldn't figure out the detail.

The blast of reds all over the icy white (with so many being so dark). It ties so well to the city, if I was from Fargo I would probably love it even more. This one is a homerun to my eyes. Aint art fucking great that way? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The perspective throws you off, which can be neat, but imo once you figure out what is going on, it's still not great. Feels to me like different styles jumbled together on a page. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GNR is complicit as well. Their manager gives zero fucks. It is what it is. Needless to say, I'm done doing GNR lithos. If you care to see what the Columbus and Baltimore designs would have been you can see them at www.geoffmay.com. The GNR stuff on my site was either licensed to them or is still my property. I also passed on Vegas and Atlantic city after this whole shitshow. APs with Global was ALWAYS a thing. They pay absolute GARBAGE up front. Getting the APs made the job worthwhile and it paid the bills. I worked for 3 months on nothing but GNR posters and tees. What did I get for my efforts? About $2500 all in. When it came time to take delivery of my APs I was told to kick rocks. GNR's management doesn't care either. All they care about is that the band is making money. Fuck the artists. If I sound bitter and mad, well yeah. Fuck Global and GNR! Edited August 13, 2021 by facefirst 2 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
facefirst Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 This was the concept for Vegas. 1976 Topps football design. Would have had the inside of Allegiant Field in the background. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
