grogmug Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 I will trade a St. Louis for a San Francisco as well. Please PM me. I've traded with other users on here as well, so just let me know. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uzi your illusion Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 It might be cool to have a thread listing what each person is looking for and what they are willing to trade. Maybe under the memorabilia section? I know That section doesn't get much traffic but it might help people match up trades that they wouldn't know are available within the community. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amaninjapan Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 the image that Guns N Roses uploaded to their IG is really washed out. The colors pop a lot more than that 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amaninjapan Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 I like the design, especially when you see the real thing. The sunset pops and the purple brings something new to the litho palette. I was just discussing it with my friend that if "Guns N' Roses" and "Minneapolis" had been done in a purple foil, it would've been AMAZING! But still solid work! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amaninjapan Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 Just now, The Holographic Universe said: Foil would would have been awesome. Personally, I think the two times that foil has been used for the GNR lithos, it has 'propped up' mediocre lithos. I know that some people like New Jersey, and the foil and sparkles and stuff look nice but let's be honest that the fundamental design of the NJ litho is really boring at best. Perth is just a horrible design. But both of them were improved by the addition of a foil accent. Now imagine if foil or a metallic paint were used on some of the fan favorites. Imagine if the roses on Cincinnati had been red foil. Imagine if Gdansk had blue foil on that black and grey background. I'm not going to promote the idea of foil being used more often, I don't think we need more foil. But I'd love to see it used on an AMAZING design and see the popularity of a litho just go through the roof. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eldoobio Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 https://imgur.com/gallery/HlR5A Got my St. Louis one framed. A little hint of my Metallica one in the reflection lol.

What I meant to say is that it's the first time, that I know of, where the subject matter is an exact copy of another band's litho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I meant to say is that it's the first time, that I know of, where the subject matter is an exact copy of another band's litho. Heh, well I don't know man. I think it's an unfair call. First of all, I sincerely doubt the Stones were the first to incorporate it into a concert poster design. You're trying to tell me in 30 years, nobody thought to put the spoonbridge on a poster for a Minneapolis concert? Plus if you do a Google image search for "minneapolis tourist attractions" it's literally the first thing that comes up. I think the most unfair thing is that when Arian Buhler goes with the most obvious theme for a litho (Devil for New Jersey, Ben Franklin for Philadelphia, Godzilla for Tokyo, a racecar for Imola, a god damn mermaid statue for Copenhagen), he gets a pass. In fact, most of the time he gets applauded for it. Oh it's a Buhler so we'll let it slide. But when another artist goes with the most obvious theme? "Unoriginal." "Boring." "Bring back Buhler." I've never seen anybody call out Buhler for his lack of originality. He used the damn MERMAID STATUE AS A THEME FOR COPENHAGEN! And nobody said anything about it being unoriginal! So come on, guys. Be fair. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xBrownstonex Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 But buhler makes greatness out of most themes. Whereas other artists cant compete with him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KURT19 Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 Don't get offended @amaninjapan I was just pointing out the similarity of the subject matter and now I wonder if any others have been "shared" by different bands. This was the first one that I noticed. My observation had nothing to do with Buhler! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just using it as a platform to voice my disappointment in how negative people can be about pretty much every non-Buhler lithograph. I feel like 90% of the posts on this forum fall into three categories: 1) Axl's voice sucks! 2) No new songs! What a shitty playlist! 3) This non-Buhler litho sucks! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oachs83 Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 Does anyone have a April 8th Vegas one for sale for a reasonable price? I was at that show and had no idea they were doing this until afterwards. Would love to put it on the wall next to my Minneapolis one I just got. Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mascadcar Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 (edited) Was able walk in minutes before the show started last night and pick up a couple lithos...was very surprised they were still available. Anyone think it is meant to be purple rain falling? Edited July 31, 2017 by Mascadcar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oachs83 Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 I like how Guns N Roses and Minneapolis are positioned on the litho like the Appetite album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amaninjapan Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 Did anybody do the VIP package for any of the US shows? Or is planning on doing the VIP packages for any of the upcoming shows? If you've done the VIP package already, can you give us a the time schedule for all the backstage stuff they have planned? Tour etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
