whats the ranking of the posters for 2018?  As a not too avid poster collector my opinion is probably not the consensus but I think that even though Mumford Boston, Brown Boston, and Padove were spectacular prints, the Ament/bones signed Missoula given the politics behind it will probably be at the top, right? Wrong?

This was the best poster of the summer tours, IMO.

Is that klausen? Feel like I’ve seen those circle guys before.  It’s ok.  FF are a complete joke though, in the same realm as Hanson to me, so I was more talking good bands like PJ

Just curious... what about the Foo Fighters is a complete joke?

Well Dave grohl, of nirvana fame, went on to make that music.  I feel like he gets his fame from nirvana but ff music is just well, silly sounding.  There goes your heroes, etc.  it’s all just a bit silly to me.  Just can’t get behind their music- their attire is rock, their image is rock, but the music is like pop with distortion and silly lyrics.  Don’t get me wrong, they have a following and do really well obviously but it’s just not my cup of tea- I just see them as kind of silly and youngish focuses or something, I don’t know

I always felt that Dave Grohl earned everything he had.    When the Foo Fighters started, they didn't immediately go to playing arena's/stadium's.    I remember seeing them touring for their 2nd album (Colour and the Shape) in '97 and they were playing the rec centre at the University of British Columbia.  It held something like 1000 people (and that album felt big at the time).   Then again '98 at a Canadian festival called Edgefest, but they were so small they were playing an early afternoon set (before Green Day and a bunch of Canadian Rock bands).  Then in 2000 opening for RHCP.    It wasn't until after that I think they started to be able to sellout arena's on a consistent basic.  It took a lot of touring and few albums under their belt.   They didn't start big, they worked their way to it.   I think Nirvana gave Grohl an initial push, but he had to take that torch and turn it into a bonfire.  It took them a while to get big.  I imagine there was a point where people started to think of Dave Grohl as the singer from Foo Fighters, and not immediately think of him as the drummer from Nirvana.   I bet that's point where they kind of made it.

I agree mostly with the rest.   I like the Foo Fighters but there's only 3 albums I love front to back.  The rest have a few songs on every album I like.   It's ok that they do the the more common thing of playing the same setlist every night.   They have enough songs that I thoroughly enjoy a greatest hits kind of setlist, but only so much I only see a show every few tours.

Good news is they had an awesome print at the show I saw last week:

Milestone

I don't like the Foo Fighters much.  But I sure like that Vancouver poster.  Two thumbs up.

nice print.

good point about FF. I remember a low point in 98 when they co-headlined with that awful band Tonic in some cities because they just couldn't pull enough fans. I think Howard Stern deserves as much credit as anyone for breaking them with that acoustic version of "EVERLONG".

They’re a rock band.  And it sounds like all of the things you list as shortcomings are common to all rock bands.  It is rock and roll after all.  It’s supposed to be fun.  I get if you don’t care for them.  Music is a matter of taste.  I just don’t understand why they are a complete joke.

So what you're saying is you think they are a little silly?

I've always thought they were pop rock and they didn't take themselves very seriously.  Watch some of their videos for further evidence.  There's nothing wrong with that.  If they came out in the early 70's, they would be a tier 3 band probably, but because rock is so weak now, they seem great.  I like them.  I see them once on every tour and have for a while.  I always enjoy it.  Yes it's a greatest hits set, but the reality is that their deep cuts aren't that great.  So the greatest hits works.  You never leave feeling cheated, that's for sure.

Don’t worry yourself over it, it’s not a big deal.

I have my fingers crossed that Bobby draws a skull and Jeff does something cool as well.  I’ve seen the AP’s on the bay and some have skulls and some don’t, seems to be random.  I threw out huge cash for this version to a seller on the bay so hoping it’s special.

Hilarious. This was a poster that no one wanted at the show.. it has a little pub in the news and its a grail now for some reason. I would guess that the show versions will be plentiful in the shop because they were not well liked at the show. But you never know, 10C may auction them off one by one to make a little extra bank.

I have no problems with the message, but it's just not that great of a poster.  I picked up one at the show because I was there only, but it's definitely 'meh'.  The flying tractor makes it goofy to me.  

I think the only thing I like about it aesthetically is the goofiness, lol. It's a hilarious poster, even though the art is pretty bad IMO. So it's unattractive but makes me laugh. I wouldn't put it on my wall personally because of the poor art, not because of the goofiness... even though I really like and agree with the message.

Not worried about it.  Just wondering if there was any thought behind the comment.
