Sorry if this has been discussed but as I set here working hard on getting my cases for my boots put together, I have really started to realize that the artwork really blows donkey. I mean for a couple it would have been cool. But to use the same design over and over again really doesnt do it for me.
The Canadian 05 boots were the shit. Having the poster artwork put into the theme of covers was a brilliant idea, sure wish they would have stuck to it.

Agree or Disagree? or dont give a shit?

    umm...I thought they were like that for 06 too?

    which boots do you have? because the one's I have certainly are.

    unless you meant the individual concert special posters and not the actual tour poster

    Agreed. The artwork was sooooo much better on the 05 NA boots with the show poster art involved.

    Before we start getting bashed to death - i AM greatful for bootlegs etc. but in comparison to the 05 boots, the Artwork is shit. I could of made it myself, it's just zoomed in on the backgrounds to the site. The 05 tor with the show specific artwork was awesome. Also, for the 05 boots, they all flowed as a unit when lined up, like the 2000 boots gradually change colour, the new ones could be put in any order and you wouldn't notice the difference.

    I would rather take what I can get, or have no artwork at all. It's a lot better than them spending a lot of time and energy on virtual packaging and jacking the price up.

    Yeah, I agree it's lame that they are repeating the artwork for different shows.

    The '05 artwork was so much better!

    not really sure why everyone is complaining so much. i don't mind the new artwork, i actually happen to like the theme of the new website quite a bit. besides, how often are you just sitting in one place staring at a cd jewel case? i don't even know what's in half of the booklets from cd's i've owned for 10 years.

    i say be happy with the music (the main reason you're buying bootlegs i would hope) and settle with the fact that they even include cover and back insert art at all.

    i've only gotten 2 shows and i was pretty disapointed.. the canadian artwork is fu*kin great.

    i don't have a problem with the artwork, though i don't have any of the canadian boots to compare it to. maybe i'll have to get one or two. the santa barbara one is cool cause they incorporated the amphitheatre motif.

    I would like to make it abundantly clear I really like Klausen's work on the new website. Cool stuff. I just don't think it works to keep repeating the same artwork over and over again for 50+ shows. Gets boring.

    I'm a fan of the whole bootleg process. I'm hoping they get better and better at it as we go.

    I really couldn't give a shit about the artwork to be honest. Half the time I don't even bother with artwork on boots, just write the info on the disc and print a set list on white paper and stick in the cover.

    What I buy a bootleg for is the music and the show :)

    Keep up the good work all those people involved in making the boots available

    The music is good and that's what it's all about, so who cares...

    Give me the choice between great production and/or artwork vs compromised sound quality and the sound will win every time.

    I'm so greatfull to be able to relive the shows i've seen with high quality, they could give me a pic of a bulls anus and i'd be thankfull.

    Didn't you hear? The pic of a bulls anus is going to be the artwork for the Madrid show. :)

    Seriously though, the 2005 artwork was specific to each show's poster, which was super cool. The pics from the website as the artwork being recylced over and over again is a bit of a let down from '05.

    It's kind of like when your girl gets all dressed up and is looking sexy as hell versus when she is just chillin with sweatpants, a t-shirt, and a headband. You love her just the same either way, but isn't it a bit more fun to unwrap the package when it's all dressed up?!
