    Admittedly I have not read 7 pages on how terrible it is. I like it and my view is there is only a couple of places where the name of the place outweighs the art. Seattle is number 1 and the 2013 poster would be good to have. Wish I was there for the gig.

    Hahaha i find it amusing theres nothing on the back. Al the others say something but it would be hard to write anything about this.

    I got my inspiration from the identical graffitti i did in vegas.....thought i would get away without anyone noticing cause i couldnt be arsed doing a proper job.....frame that!

    I said the same thing!
    Lame!

    Let me clarify, if I didn't like the design I wouldn't say anything, but this poster has no effort what so ever. Nothing to do with pearl jam, Seattle, music, anything.

    Plus it's a recycle job.

    Saved me $35 bucks again tho!!

    ;)

    I'm sure this has already been pointed out, but his London poster was a recycle of another piece of his work also.
    Very weird.

    After 15 shows dating back to 1992, it's the first time I did not buy a poster. Definitely the worst Pearl Jam poster I have ever seen. Everybody thought it was a joke when the truck doors opened and saw it hanging there. Nearly everyone around me in line skipped on buying it though I saw one guy near the front buy 5. Wtf? Seattle T-shirt, Seattle stickers and lightening bolt wristband are cool though.

    Anyway, I ended up picking up Lightning Bolt on vinyl (I was told by their vinyl guy that their copies have been coming in clean with no returns) for the same price at Easy Street an hour later. A much better use of $35.

    And I was counting on this poster being so amazing that I could put it together with another something to trade for my coveted wrigley Shuss that I missed out on. I know, if we all start talking about how awesome it is maybe it will suddenly become just that. :wink:

    Not good. But I stood in line for over an hour so god damn it......it was getting bought.

    The shirt is sweet though. Go Sonics

    Hoping for a limited edition one like the Shawn Kemp one they did a few years back. That would make up for this

    The Vancouver poster is the best one on this tour so far (IMO).

    it is even cooler in person

    I think I'll chop up my three ugly bastards (Seattle, LA 1&2) and see if I can make something better out of them.

    I have an idea my vitamix on high might do some awesome shit!

    I'm trying to figure out how they can turn this disaster of a poster into an action figure two years from now, but I am having a tough time. Skeleton spray painting a wall, 11 variant colors... buy up.

    I don't mind this poster :oops: I wouldn't buy it if I was there but I don't really collect posters. Only buy the ones that blow me away. I certainly wouldn't come here and trash the artists that I don't like though. I understand being disappointed if you're a poster person and we're going to Seattle but you don't have to buy it.

    This is the first tour that I've been to that I haven't bought a poster from and this one is just another example of why.



    Also, that may have been the most poorly structured sentence I've ever written, but I hope the meaning comes through.

    Well I got one of the riot act variants.

    I guess that's cool? Haha the poster sucks so much and I get lucky and snag a variant on this one? Really?

    And so you see, I have come to doubt
    All that I once held as true
    I stand alone without beliefs
    The only truth I know is you.

    At least you don't have to worry about getting one before the show and protecting it. Pretty sure they will still be available afterwards.

    Merch booth. I just got lucky. Went up asked for one and that's what came up. By that point the merch guys knew those were rare, they asked if it was ok if it said riot act I said "hell yes!"

    Interesting. So, what would y'all think if they had a version of this for each of the albums? And he sold them as a set on his site for say $400 ($40 each in effect) matching numbers, signed, limited to 10 sets (10 albums - 10 sets).

    I say those sell out it 10 seconds.
    Sorry. The world doesn't work the way you tell it to.

    I don't think they had all albums. That was the talk in line but we watched people get posters. About 100 people or so I saw go through the line, buying at most 10 poster (yes that happened but fuck him cause these suck and he will be lucky to break even) I saw 3 people get the variant including myself and all said riot act.
