If that was Phish poster with the same design, Zilla would be calling it the greatest poster ever.

blaise34 · 05-07-2016, 10:42 AM

Grabbed my poster at the pop up gallery, much easier than waiting in line tonight. I like it, looks great in person

bowa36 · 05-07-2016, 10:47 AM

I'll probably still get one.

RiotAct · 05-07-2016, 04:30 PM

That's not very good. Looks like something a high school student would crank out in their 8th Period art class before meeting their crush underneath the bleachers for a makeout session.

Love that concept.

Mateo2k · 05-07-2016, 09:09 PM

Interesting idea for the tour poster. Not something I would be after personally like but it's interesting.

Mateo2k · 05-07-2016, 09:10 PM

As for show posters, they're two for two in my book with the two from tonight.

**ExistenceNow** · 05-07-2016, 09:16 PM

Hate that tour poster.

Like, a lot.

It's way better than that stupid gumball machine

I never buy tour posters, but I will buy this one for sure.

It actually contains several (although subtle) nods to Cville and one to it being 25 years.

Stickers on the guitar that say "Millers Bar" "Trax" and "91"

**ExistenceNow** · 05-07-2016, 09:43 PM

I'm not a huge fan of the gumball machine, and certainly don't get what any of the fuss over them was last year, but this one is way worse. Just hideous amateur hour stuff.

Didn't notice that in the pic I saw, but the subject is generic as hell. Not surprised with it being Methane but still. Just a boring poster.

Well, as we have said for years, Methane needs a break.

I'm glad they've had some different artists over the last several years, and honestly almost all of the posters I have bought in the last few years have been non-Methane artists.

Is methane going to go bankrupt next year with no dmb posters?

Knowing dmb they will probably give methane the entire tour since they have next year off.

RiotAct · 05-09-2016, 05:00 AM

Wouldn't hang that tour poster, but it's pretty cool. I love the "GPS Screwed You!" space.

Please, no

prdstmnky36 · 05-09-2016, 05:26 AM

Hating the tour poster, cant think of anything nice to say about it honestly. Didn't like that "guy/thing" on the 06 Gorge poster, cant believe its back on this one! Definitely wont be buying.

Really hoping for at least a handful of Emek / Eads / Sperry / Spusta / DKNG this summer

**ExistenceNow** · 05-09-2016, 06:56 AM

Really enjoyed that they mixed up the artists last year. I really hope that trend continues.

It's really bad.

ForkInFork · 05-09-2016, 07:03 AM

I wasn't a huge fan of the methane poster, so I bought a red van poster instead. I thought it was more fitting for the 25th anniversary show.

I wasn't there, but from what I've heard it seems like the van poster way outsold the other. I wonder if they others even sold out.

But hopefully that sends a message to management. That's a direct correlation to the poor quality of the artwork from methane.

Funny that they brought back the sleeping man from the Piedmont poster. Has he been on any other posters?

Van was definitely VERY popular. Seemed to sell out faster, though most people were picking up both, myself included.

OoYeahTrafikJam · 05-09-2016, 12:47 PM

Long shot, but hoping to trade the blue cville poster for the van cville poster.

Can ship or meet in Northern VA.

Was this poster sold at the merch stand before the show? Or was it in the vip package?

I think the print run was higher on the Van too and still sold out a lot faster.

I really like both but I love the van.

I want to know if they always planned on having two, or if they commissions the blue one then added the van one based on the popularity of the marketing art.

onetwothree · 05-09-2016, 06:44 PM

I like the van poster, I bought the c ville shirt but would have like to seen them put the add with the van on the shirt, like a front, back type thing.

I'm not a poster guy but the van one was cool, I thought it looked better then the blue one.
