    BK posters continue to rock. I framed these for three friends after a reunion at Wrigley 2016, and I want to do it again.

    Yes. When they start releasing caskets and toilet seats then we talk.
    I agree, but they do seem to be starting to head that route.

    I’ll buy the BK and that’s it, which makes me happy. 
    This show, another show, a show here and a show there.

    Here is my poster for the Pearl Jam home shows in Seattle




    So are there two here? 
  • The klausen poster is nice. Probably the best with the faile right behind. The klausen reminds me of a pissed off batter who just got rung up with a strikeout on an awful call. Lol

    The merch haters are getting just as bad as the merch  obsessed.  If you don't like it, then don't buy it  Pretty simple.  

    And yeah, it's frustrating that they haven't put out an album in 5 years.  I get that.  But who really cares if they sell a lot of merchandise?  Does that really affect the way you feel about a band?  I don't like Kiss because I think they make shitty music.  Not because they will put their name on literally anything and sell it.  That's their business.

    Bottom one is the variant. If like the 2016 baseball stadium shows, they let the artist do 300 reg AP's, and a variant run of 100 AP's. See if the numbers stay or change for the 2018 shows.
  • I like all of the Merch. Fight me.

    Klausen and Faile are awesome, Emek is OK, and I won’t say anything else cause of how I was raised.

    By the way, these posters are Exhibit A in the argument against a blind poster purchase option with a 10C ticket.

    Other than coasters, I'm not seeing anything new than what they have done before. 
    Is it just because there is more designs of posters and shirts?

    The merch craze would only be bigger than the show if you let it be.

    Exactly, it would turn into the same deal as mystery box trading

    There's a large group that want the poster of the show they attend regardless of what it looks like.  The preorder system wouldn't be for art-critics or poster-snobs.
