        One of my favorite posters is by Iron Maiden:
    
        A spring-loaded fist is punching through Eddie's(?) head,
        and all kinds of stuff is flying out!!
    
        They've got the best drawings!!

        P.S.  Hammer - thanks for starting this note ... I was gonna
              do it a couple days ago but forgot.

    
        I've got a 'black light' poster of "The Trooper", and I've
        also got a 'generic black light' poster of a skeleton play-
        ing a guitar which has just exploded ... looks great!!
    
                                                       GTI
    

    Yo hammer, is that the poster shop across from Acacia Park, by
    Independant?  
    Do they have the Van Halen poster that is on the back of "Fair
    Warning"?         
    
    jh

    Hey Dog, that's the place!  I was stumbling around town last Monday
    evening and kind of bumped into it.  Man have they got some awesome
    stuff!  I don't recall seeing that poster - I just grabbed what
    my eyes could see and what my wallet could handle at the time and
    boogied on out before I went to the Visa.  I'll be heading back
    down there this weekend if you don't make it before then and I'll
    scope it out for ya.
    
    Give em a call if ya want:  (719) 473 - 7262
    
    Hammer.

    Yeah, I know where that place is.  I'll have to check 'em out! 
    I need a poster to put in my office, it's kinda drab.
    
    I'd like a poster of Joe Satriani (my guitar hero), but the only
    one I've seen, I didn't like.  It has him kind of pointing his guitar
    into the camera sort of leaning over.  Are other posters of him
    available?
    
    gh

    The guy running it at the time I stopped in seemed a little loose
    so BE CAREFUL!  HA!  But he said the store in Denver is a lot better.
    I'm dying to get up there and check it out.  This place even had
    some body building posters I had been looking for for my gym.  You
    don't see them too often in poster stores.

     Re Greg,
    
    	I have one Of Satch.. I got it out of Git for the Prac Musician.
    
    	It's pretty cool...he's standing there in all black with a white
    git..kinda slung over his right shoulder.  Dimensions are 1'w x
    2'L.  I have it hanging but will be willing to part with it...
    send me mail.

    Man, I knew I shouldn't have put the ".. loose" comment in there
    the way you guys (and gals) go bonkers in these notes.  Ya, the
    guy seemed a little queer but luckily there was a counter he stayed
    behind and THE POSTERS WERE GREAT!!
    
    OK - Let's stay on the subject now before I go into my often-seen-
    flame-mode.
    
    Subj:  HEAVY METAL POSTERS !!
    
    Hammer.

    Ok, this calls for a STORY...!
    
    The last place I worked was a rather strict environment, nice shirts,
    ties, slacks everyday.  My office was defined by a series of
    bookshelves and was in the corner of a much larger room.  Also in my
    corner was a small closet, the door of which opened outward. 
    
    I was viewed as a bit of a strangoid there anyway, but one day I
    brought in a poster of Van Halen (the same one Jesse is looking
    for...like the back cover of Women and Children First) and hung it on
    the inside of that closet door. 
    
    When things got really frustrating around there, I'd open up the closet
    door exposing Dave, Eddie and the boys to the world. 
    
    I left it there when I moved.  When I last talked to someone working
    there (well over a year later), the poster was still there!  Cracks me
    up, 'cause the management there were real strict. ;^)
    
    gh

                
                Uh, oh.  I'd better clean off my walls before the
                party . . .
                
                I decorated my  room  with  Hit  Parader  about 3
                years ago.  i.e.   it's covered with BJ/Ratt/Crue
                etc.    If  someone wants  to  donate  some  good
                pictures maybe .  .   .   I don't buy magazines I
                stole all of those from my brother.

            I just remembered the name of the poster ...
    
            "Can I Play with Madness"
     
                                                       GTI

     Re.15    I had a T-shirt with that picture on in the front too.
              I bought it when i saw them at the Centrum in Worcester
              During `CAN I PLAY WITH MADNESS' tour.  
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    

    My favorite posters are done by Boris Valleho [sp?].  For those
    who don't know who he is. He is a fantasy artist.  He is the guy
    who did Ozzy's The Ultimate Sin album cover.  I have a wall sized
    poster of that cover.  I get my posters at Newbury comics or Headlines
    (in Nashua).  
    
    The Sentinel
    

    MINE is the Ultimate Sin Poster,,That Poster is the Nutts!
    Also Ive Notice Iron Maiden Is the Heavy Metal Band with More 
    Posters out than any other group! "I swear ive seen at least 25
    different posters of Eddie!

    I have over 38 different postcards by Iron Maiden, with pictures
    of all their singles/albums and some tour designs. I guess they
    must win the most varied merchandise award (if there was one), every
    year outright.
    
    Prince Of The Dawn.

    Has anyone been to Newbury Comics in Framingam.  They have this
    HUGE poster of the new Metallica album, "...and justice for all"
    
    I'd get it, but I ain't got no room.

    I had an awesome dorm room my first year of college. I has mass
    beer posters, (Love that St. Pauli Girl), women posters (outside
    of the ones on the beer posters), and HM posters. My favorite poster
    was the one of Van Halen from the back of Fair Warning, but a close
    second was the "Piece of Mind" tapestry I had. Doesn't Eddie look
    pissed in a strait jacket!?!?
    
    
    jh who saw the devil dog yesterday and he says "ARRRRRRRGGGGHHHHHHH"

    I have the wildest black light poster of "Swan Song", Led Zeppelin
    on the wall beside my bed.. It's very unusual actually.. when you
    turn the black light on in my room it looks diffrent every time
    you look at it...I never see the same poster twice "In the Light".
    Got it at Headlines in N.H.

    re: 20 >>  Ya, I used to have so many posters I was stapling them
               to my ceiling!  It was pretty wild.  Since then I've
               put a lot of them (ie, ZZ top, Doors, U2, Lynyrd Skynyrd,
               etc, etc) in "storage" and now just keep my heavy stuff
               and Floyd stuff out.  Now I'm getting back to the point
               of using the ceiling for them too.  Love it though!

    re: 29 >>   Guns n' Roses FIRST?  Do you mean 'Appetite For
                Destruction'?  I know they've actually been around
                for about 12 years but I never heard of a previously
                recorded album of theirs.
     
                I still haven't made it back to the poster shop here
                in the Springs (snow up the wazzoo) but will be there
                some time Monday (probably when you are reading this).
                If I see it I'll let you know.  Like I said, they had
                six different Guns n' Roses posters last time I was
                in there.
    
    Hammer.

    I still want to go by that poster shop.  I tried a week or so ago,
    but gave up 'cause I couldn't find a place to park.
    
    ...Besides I already got a cool poster of Joe Satriani (Thanks Brian)
    which looks real nice in my cube.  :-)

    re: 31 >>  Yes, it is true that Guns n' Roses HAS actually been
               around for the past 12 years.  It was just recently 
               that they got the right combo down.  I'm pretty sure
               none of the members are originals.  I know they did 
               a LOT of member changes in their history.
    
    Hammer.

         
    Axel and Izzy are the original members, and no, they haven't been
    around for 12 years.  I have a televised interview with Slash and
    Axel, and Axel said that he was travelling the states for seven
    years to look for a place to start working on a band - then he met
    Izzy.  They then started working on material ("Anything Goes" was
    one of their original(old) songs).  
                                         
    Maybe Axel had the name "Guns 'n Roses" figured out a long time
    ago, but he was also in LA Guns for a time too, so he must have 
    started real young to be around in GnR for 12 years!!
           
    -Tony

    Hmmmm, guess I'd better check my sources.
    
    Hammer.

    
    
       They got the name GnR because some of them were in L.A Guns and
    some were in a band called Hollywood Rose, I don't remember who
    was in what band.
    
    /Bill
    

    YEA!  I finally made it back to the poster shop.  I checked up on
    a few:  They had like three different Black Sabbath posters and
    some awesome Iron Maiden posters (one that is absolutely enormous).
    
    re: 3 >>  I forgot to scope out the Van Halen posters.  Bummer,
              would like to get one myself.
    
    Man did they have a LOT of Samantha Fox posters!  Whew!  They also
    have a lot of hard to find type things like weird books, postcards,
    rock star photographs (I met one of the photographers who spends
    her life going to concerts and just taking shots!).  I could lose
    a lot of bucks in a place like that!
    
    Hammer.

     Here are the ones I have on my wall:
    
     Cinderella- European Promo (group and girl from Nobody's Fool)

    Yesterday I was in pickin' up some groceries (beer, pretzels) and
    stopped to flip through some mags when I noticed one entitled 'LIVE
    METAL!'  Wow!  It turned out to be an "Ashley poster series" poster
    magazine.  All it has in it are TEN color posters!  The one I bought
    had a posters of Slash, Axl, Metallica, Anthrax, Cinderella, Bullet
    Boys, Ratt, Poison, and Bon Jovi (I can't figure out how they mixed
    him up with the rest but...).  Inside they have a lot of back issue
    ones you can order.  They're all like $4 or so.  Not only do they
    have LIVE METAL posters but also METAL, VINTAGE METAL, and (of course)
    SWIMSUITS!  Apparently they're put out by a group of dudes who produce
    a magazine entitled "BLAST!"  I had never heard of it but am now
    going to grab an issue and scope it out.  Awesome posters though.
    I picked up two issues so I can put some up in my office.  Got Slash
    up already.

    Imagine...
    
    A poster of Slash in a swimsuit

Is there also posters, I could put in my office ?

    While were talking British here, if you know where I could get my hands
    on some Cult merchandise.  A T-shirt would be great.  I don't have any
    of the earlier mentioned tees, so I can't help you there.

	Me again !

	I have a friend in Nashua who is willing to get me that t.shirt. Could 
somebody tell me where he could find it. Stores, malls... I don't know, another
good question would be : did they produce such t.shirt ? did somebody see one of
them once, coz maybe they don't even exist.

Any help ?

Thanks

                I doubt  it  since  "A  Show of Hands" was not an
                actual tour.   It  was  an  album put out after a
                tour.  I've never seen one ...

     tiny place but he's got tons 'o HM type stuff in there from patches
     to pins to tees.  Plus if he doesn't have it, he'll order it for

    Shawn, there is place called Gensner Legion of Metal that you can
    send away for.  Anything from patches, buttons, posters, concert
    shirts, earings, chains, rings and just about anything else.  The
    place is out of New Jersey.  I lost my last issue and I'll try and
    dig up an old one....

          mall in attleboro ma. I think there are a few places in there.
          I know Buddas Bizarre has Back patches, Buddas is in Woonsocket

    Newbury Comics, in the Mass. area usually has some cool posters.
    They keep a good selection of giant posters on hand, too. 4' x 5'.
    
    I just got one that was the Cult's Sonic Temple cover in the giant
    size.  I also have the Cult's Wild Flower EP in giant size, as well as
    the inside picture of Sonic Temple.  I've got a small tour poster from
    the Love tour.  Plus many, many more...

    Try Newbury Comics (Framingham, Harvard Square, Burlington, MA).  They
    usually have a lot of stuff like that.
    
    Speaking of stuff like that, I have been looking for an iron cross of
    some sort for a long time now.  Ring, necklace, bolo tie, belt, etc...
    I have not had good luck, however.  If you know anyplace, let me know.
    Thanx.

Buying magazines allows you to have a large amount of posters every month.
But I either don't like them or don't have anymore places to stick them.

So my idea is that I may swap them with people having the same problem.

Of course if nobody has anything to swap I'll give them away.

What do you think of this idea ?

Right now I have  
 
Size is 4xA4 magazine size (may be A2 but I'm not sure)

-  	Testament (a good group pisture)
	Overkill  (group picture)
	Tesla 	    "
	Exodus     (funny group faces)

It's out of Metal Hammer (French Version)

- 	Mathias Jabs (scorpions) faces
	2 guys from Trust
	+ 1 guy from Anthrax (the one with the little beard)
	fooling in front of a mixage table (during Antisocial I guess)

It's from Hard Rock Magazine (another French magazine)


Any body interrested

    I don't know if anyone can help on this one but here goes... I've been
    collecting guitar picks for years from diffrent places and people,
    concerts and from the bands themselves when I use to work local stage
    crew in Munich, Germany... if anyone has any laying around they want to
    get rid of please get in touch... Iwould love to get some new editions
    to the collection (around 65 picks I've gotten so far) and I am willing
    to give up some coin for some.... thanks.

    guitarists in here have lots of picks to give you. ;-)

    re .65
    
    Great to see that I am not one of the only ones to collect guitar 
    picks from bands. It does help out alot in your collection by working
    stagehand for shows though.... I haven't nearly colllected as many as 
    you but I am on the increase lately (I probably have around 40 various 
    picks). I also collect various backstage passes, and we still 
    haven't gotten to the free T's they give at the end of the night.
    
    /wc
    

    re .67
    
         Just thinking but maybe to help out your backstage pass collection
    you could write the record company and ask for any old ones laying
    around if they can't help maybe they can tell you who would deal in
    them or where to obtain the passes. if you want I think I have an Tina
    Turner pass from her "private Dancer " tour, she play four diffrent
    times in Munich, so I belive I have an extra . let me check to be sure
    but if I do you can have it if you want it...

        I am in search of a blacklight poster of Ozzy Osbourne Blizzard Of
    Ozz and any posters or T-shirts of Ozzy's dragon head on fire tattoo,
    the executioner holding Ozzy's head, Blizzard Of Ozz, Diary Of A Madman

    Didja check the poster shop downtown? 
    
    There's also a pretty cool shop on Federal in Denver. It's a few blocks

    Next time I go back, I'll look if your interested.
