Backdrops

amon666 · March 9th, 2011, 09:53 AM

What happens to the old ones? Do you guys just throw it out? I'm really interested to buy one of them, as you guys stopped using them. Please tell me how I can get my hands on one.

I think typically they use them 'till they loose them in transit

There is an elephant graveyard for old backdrops.
You need a pretty big wall though, since the smallest ones are 6 meters wide

If you're handy with needle and thread go ahead and make bed sheets out of it

That's exactly why I want one. If I could get Vs the World one it would be really amazing. Any idea if I can buy it? I'm wondering about the price. It'll be the best collectors edition to have.

Want! Will pay for postage x 1000

Whoah! Would be reaaaally damn cool to have one these

From which tour would not matter.

What would you guys want for one of these? Would it be possible to catch you up on tour to avoid horrible shipping costs? I will be in Munich ^^

Edit: What kind of cloth are those made of? Suitable for bed sheets?

If the guys are gonna send us some I'm sure you will be asked first which you wanna have, it was your idea in the first place

I wonder why it took so long for somebody to get this idea though

Yeah, which is why I wont be asking them to print a new one for me. I really want VS the world backdrop, that would be insane to have. If I end up getting it, their signature on it would just make it tons better. Or if somehow I get their permission to print one which will cost less (no shipping and I'll just get a smaller size). But I'd rather get the original

Edit: What gave me the idea btw, Primordial vocals prints backdrops for bands. And he prints out customized ones for fans with the band's signature on it.

Auctioning the backdrops at the last concert if they are about to be retired would make lots of business sense; it would be a win-win.
