serious question,  is it possible to find a band (management/label/etc) more amateur than GNR?  even bands with no record label try harder.

I can poo very small in the mornings and that poo can do a lot better than team brazil, label and WHOEVER deals with biz shit in gnr alltogether in terms of marketing, they're assholes trying to ruin everything gnr related, look at how metallica does with that crappy black albumi how maiden copes with their shitty catalogue after killers and what gnr doesnt even do for the glorious UYIs.  I can understand the retard, moronic team brazil and stuff at gnr side, but universal music group, my sincere fuck you goes to you!

I spent $175 total on them. Don’t really love the designs but figured why not I collect tons of GnR merch so I would feel terrible if I missed out. 

You Sir, are absolutely mad.

I'm truly curious, who's buying this shit?

[Arnuld]

They could make so much money if they could partner with the right designer for their merch. 90% of it just really sucks. UYI was such a cool time period for the band. There is so much interesting source material they could use. How is that only the lithographs are awesome?

Cause the lithos aren't designed by @Fernando. Very simple

The guy responsible for the gnr merch have to be FIRED!

Call me Negative Nelly, but this "wow, just wow" from me is gonna be heavily sarcastic. 

Wow, just wow. 

[Atlas19]

At this point, even a UYI designed toy truck would be an awesome thing compared with all this crap

[Jwalker19]

It's sad enough that this was the single mention of the 30th anniversary, but it's even worse with how atrocious the actual merchandise is. It's so unimaginative and expensive.

[Gordon Comstock]

Finally, some good merch. I'd buy some of these.

Weak.

This is what you get when your management is a fucking maid….. lol

Those designs are atrocious. The hat and mug are ok haha

[StrangerInThisTown]

That yellow sweater..WTF. Did they take more than 15 minutes to come up with these "designs"? Textbook definition of shitting something out to make some money rofl.

It is amazing whoever designs the "city themed" t-shirts and lithos on this tour is practically a genius, and whoever designed those Use Your Illusion merch is cluless

[ToonGuns]

To put a positive slant on this: it's better than a COVID t-shirt.

They hire professional artists to do the city-specific lithos and shirts, while Fernando is in charge of the regular merch... so it makes complete sense that the UYI anniversary merch is amateurish, overpriced shit.

Lol, they don't have any of the anniversary merch in the UK store. 

They don't have much of anything tbh

EMP has us covered. All the stuff that ships mid-october looks to be anniversary merch, and it looks far better than this official store shite

How hard would it have been to reprint a few tour shirts.

That yellow shirt is the worst thing since covid hit.

I hope so. I've ordered the UYI2 shirt and the split cover hoodie, hopefully the quality is decent.

sorry being a maid has nothing to do with laziness/ lack of creativity/ etc.

I'm not sure. I know EMP is based in Germany and focuses on the European market so, probably not.

If you really want to order from overseas you can usually find a mail forwarding address in the country you're buying from I've done it a few times when buying from USA and Japan, getting things sent to the UK. Costs a little more as there's usually a service fee but I've never found it to be outrageously overpriced.
