    Hi guys, 
    does anyone know how to get my hands on one of the limited edition posters at their shows? 
    Just queue up and hope for the best or are there enough posters available? 
    So they make posters for every show they play or just US tours? 
    All tips ‘n tricks are welcome 
    thanks
    If you absolutely want to / have to have it, get there early. That’s really about the only advice worth offering IMO. 

    There seemed to be plenty available up to, and during Royal Blood’s sets in Boston & Portland, but if you REALLY want the poster I wouldn’t leave anything to chance. If it’s an awesome design, it could go pretty quickly. 
    Thank you! 
    Unfortunately we don’t have Royal Blood as a support act here in Amsterdam but I’ll queue up before the doors open and I’ll go back to the pub after I’ve bought my poster ;)
    are there previews available? Or is the artist unknown until the night of the show?
    Yes, QOTSA’s Twitter & Facebook pages posted images of each night’s poster early afternoon, day of the show. For example:

    Awesome! Thanks

    I'd be interested in the sound in an arena.  Their music is louder than most and I wonder if the sound would actually be better in an arena.   Has anyone done both on this tour?
    I saw Queens open for NIN in an arena, and the sound was infinitely better than every other time I saw them in a theatre. The overall feel wasn't the same, mind you, but the sound was way better. 
    Overall feel trumps sound IMO, but only marginally. Both are so important. Anyway, I think they are using over half the arena in Vancouver, so big floor, and I'm thinking maybe 10,000 tix? That is just a guess though. It even occurred to me that QOTSA might not sell out or at least come close. Huh, I guess I'm out of touch, lol..... Shows with a bunch of empty seats... hmm. I don't think I've ever seen an arena show where that even happened before TBH. I can imagine it isn't so hot as far as vibe goes.
    yes, but when a band like Queens is so fucking loud that it hurts to be there, sound trumps feel. Ministry almost made me, literally, go deaf. My ears were ringing for 5 days after that show. 
    To anyone on here, I can't recommend enough having a set of musician's earplugs made. Mine were made in Toronto at a place called Listen Up for about $250. Best money I've ever spent - I use them at every concert (and many other loud events since I have noise-induced tinnitus), and everything just gets quieter (and not worse in quality unlike those piece of crap foam or plastic plugs).
    What’s the downside to the foam ear plugs? 
    Muffled sound, uneven volume reduction across frequency, discomfort after extended use because they are generically shaped rather than for your own ears, designed for single (or minimal) use, to list a few.
    Yeah, I actually despise wearing them. It really takes away from the show for me because it muffles the music and cuts out way too much of the crowd noise too. I realize they are important for my hearing and all... but I still hate them (yes, really good earplugs suck for me too, not just the shitty cheap ones). :frowning:

    I wish they changed their setlist up show to show.  Would be a blast to follow around for a week.

    man. seen these guys 4 times. but the last time, when this new show comes around, will be 10 years and 3 weeks ago. that's insane. they came twice in 6 months for Era Vulgaris, and then not since then. how bizarre. 
    Your boos mean nothing to me, for I have seen what makes you cheer

    Awesome! Glad to hear they're finally coming back to your area. I feel like they've hit their peak so it's a great time to see them. Reminds me of '03 PJ. Not difficult to get tickets, putting on killer shows and still rocking the old stuff. The only thing missing is a more varied set list.
    It's a hopeless situation...
