axlslash Posted July 22, 2016 Author Posted July 22, 2016 Free is free. I can't get there much before it opens up, so hopefully it just being a shirt scares off enough of the advance crowd and I can still get one If anyone else is going early, I'll be the square in the dress shirt and tie

Stryker Posted July 22, 2016 Posted July 22, 2016 All I want is a Red/Blue tye-dye UYI shirt. Do I see that in the distance?

Different one. Looks like album cover, red one side of shirt, blue the other. Tye dye throughout.

WHENEVER Posted July 22, 2016 Posted July 22, 2016 I was hoping JV was going to produce something special for the pop up shop. He released a limited addition GNR tee a few months back that sold out almost immediately. This is the same old stuff thats at every show. I personally like the Lucky Brand line they released a in conjunction with the tour a lot more. Better quality and much more comfortable.

axlslash Posted July 22, 2016 Author Posted July 22, 2016 I'm behind the first 50, but I got a card. I think using the hashtag ups your chances of winning the VIP packages they're raffling. Sounds like they're selling one JV guns shirt and standard your merch, nothing unique or special.

If you can grab a pic of the JV shirt that'd be awesome
axlslash Posted July 22, 2016 Author Posted July 22, 2016 It's a grey shirt, skull/top hat/pistols logo, and it says GUNS N ROSES over the top and Paradise City, Los Angeles CA underneath. Staff are wearing them, I'll get a pic when I get inside (assuming they ever open the door, I have to get back to work lol)
axlslash Posted July 22, 2016 Author Posted July 22, 2016 I'm still in line to get in, but saw @Fernando up by the door, and pretty sure Kat's here taking pictures too. 1

axlslash Posted July 22, 2016 Author Posted July 22, 2016 I didn't end up taking any pictures. It was a giant letdown. Not a single piece of merch that you can't buy elsewhere. No extra memorabilia or decoration beyond the normal JV knockoff CBGB hipster ambiance. Fernando was hanging out in the middle of the store with a guy who made a few painted leather jackets, unsurprisingly I don't think anyone in the store knew or cared who he was (I only nominally cared - thought about asking if he could get me a Nightrain upgrade since my lanyard won't make it in time but decided against it). After how all-out they went for LA, I was expecting something more. Definitely was not worth early in line for. Once the initial chaos calms a bit and you can just step in and step out it'd be worth it, but not worth the 90min I just sank.
