    and even if it is 'plagarism' it still is a sweet looking poster...best of the tour so far imo.

    You know...just to keep the debate going a smidge...their Bonnaroo gig poster (not the PJ skull) reminded me a lot of this promo poster I came across for Liam Finn - see here: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=380033645642&ssPageName=ADME:B:DBS:US:1123#ebayphotohosting

    Thoughts?

    GREAT quote and too true, in a GOOD way imo!
    who said it?

    it's a common quote/thought/saying, but in this case it is directly from U2's song 'acrobat' from Achtung Baby.

    We're seriously asking this? Our world is becoming too sensitive... there use to be a thing called paying homage to something...

    Now plagiarism is when a stupid kid rips off a paper or entire chunks of text and calls it their own...

    i know it's a common idea/theme...i've just never read it worded just like that. i like it. hmmmm...know the song and the album, guess it's been awhile. wish a visual artist had said it tho. haha. :p still a great quote!
    Stay with me...

    LOL! Plagiarism?!? Are you people that fucking dense?

    Definitely my favorite of the tour so far and it's a great homage/tip of the cap to the Clash.

    To be clear - I am in no way insinuating plagiarism, etc. I posted the Liam image to draw an interesting parallel between the Bonnaroo image and the Liam poster.

    not at all... the Roo poster is inspired by old carnival freak show advertising and the Finn looks more native american inspired... IMO

    It is a very common theme to take a familiar pop culture image and put a twist on it. The Led Zeppelin album cover isn't obscure. Clearly the intention was to reference it and put their own spin on it. Go dig up any book of poster art and you'll see a long tradition of that type of work.

    Sorry, that wasn't directed at you. Some of the people earlier in the thread specifically said plagiarism.

    Check out the poster from Benaroya, then look at the cover of Kiss' Rock and Roll Over album. Same sort of thing being discussed now could have been discussed 5 years ago.

    It's one of my favorite Ames posters by the way.
