New DT poster and T-shirt available!

[Setlist Scotty]

Hey all

I wanted to let you all know that there's a new DT poster available that commemorates DT's 25th anniversary as a band! It's now available at LiveNation's website:
https://www.store.livenation.com/Product.aspx?cp=13281_16771_16785_23907&pc=FXAPDRA49438#

FYI, if you plan on getting it at one of the Iron Maiden shows, don't bother - DT is limited with what merch they are going to be able to sell at the Maiden shows. However, if you happen to be attending one of DT's club shows, they will be available there.

And if you're wondering why I'm posting this info, it was designed and photo-composed by myself. The story behind it is that MP wanted an image based off of the BCaSL artwork for a T-shirt design, but with elements from some of DT's previous albums in the image in place of the elements of the various BCaSL songs. As some of you know, this was right up my alley and I was game for the challenge. Much to MP's surprise, I managed to squeeze in elements from every one of DT's albums (studio, live and more). Upon seeing the final result, he also wanted to do a poster of it too! []

BTW, here is the link to the T-shirt with the same design (which will be sold at the Maiden shows and club shows), but of course the detail won't be quite as clear as on the poster! However, if you prefer that, you can check it out here:
https://www.store.livenation.com/Product.aspx?cp=13281_16771_16785_23900&pc=FXCTDRA49426

To be honest, I'm pretty proud of it, so I apologize if I come off as tooting my own horn or bragging! In any case, I hope you all like it and find it worthwhile to pick up!  []

That is pretty frickin' sweet, Scotty.

[Implode]

That's a pretty awesome design!  But $8 for shipping?

[LCArenas]

Awesome! It's awesome to see all the covers in one drawing

[ScioPath]

I spy a WDADU brand, an I&W child and heart, a 6:00 moon, an awake mirror, an ACOS rose and bucket, the FiI binocular dude, an OIALT stadium headed man, a SFAM newspaper, a Scene from NY, a SDOIT hand, a ToT scene, a L@B dot, an Octavarium sphere, a Score octagon, a GH...A21PCS Seagull, a SC ant, a CiM Planet, a BC&SL Background, Covers of MiJ and #OtB, and a poster that i desperately, DESPERATELY need.

As soon I saw it, it was already in my cart ready to be bought. But the shipping is making me second guess myself... should I get it??

You missed the MoP cover, and the heart is more likely as the Live at the Marquee symbol.

Really? I only saw Made in Japan and Number of the Beast. But ok. And congrats Scotty!

[Nick]

Wow, awesome Scotty, put me down for one of both!

[zxlkho]

Yeah, I bought it.

[ScioPath]

if you find some way to add this to it I would buy the poster for $50

[ZBomber]

Is this limited edition? If not, I'll wait for the club show. But it looks awesome and I definitely want it.

[Birch Boy]

Does anyone know if Dream Theater will be selling tour shirts at the Iron Maiden shows? If so... what would the heading be? This isn't their tour (obviously  ).

[Dcrupi]

This is AWESOME.  I do want.

[Cool Chris]

That's pretty sweet! Will definitely check out at the PDX show. In anticipation of these shows I've been lamenting the fact that I haven't cared much for any of DT's shirt designs.

[Scard]

I will definitely be picking that t-shirt up, maybe not at the gig though. I'll get it after, gotta save my gig money for Maiden merch

[yeshaberto]

that is excellent, scotty...I normally don't buy stuff like that, but I may make an exception, really well done

What do you mean, "Official"?

[ScioPath]

i mean its real. DT used it.

[robwebster]

Just realised that the planet the binocular-guy is sitting on is one of the Octavarium balls.

Which has just led me to mull over how cool a newton's cradle of planets would be, as a visual.

[lateralus88]

I'll definitely be buying one of these posters once I have some extra cash on me. That is seriously really fucking sweet.

[Volk9]

Yeah, I may buy a poster

[The Letter M]

I'd really like to have the shirt and poster, but especially the poster.

Any chance we can see this graphic as a high quality desktop wallpaper? I was thinking keep the same center picture with the words above and below it, but put the album covers on the sides... it might work out to the proper ratio fro desktops.

[bosk1]

i mean its real. DT used it.

What are you talking about?  That's not a DT release.



Anyhow, great work, Scotty.  The only album I can't seem to find is LSFNY.  I have purchased one poster for myself and one to use as a DTF donations drive prize.

[DarkLord_Lalinc]

The poster is amazing, but I would remove the flaming heart from there. Everything bends in perfectly except that    but that's definitely a poster I would buy and put in my room immediately.

[The Letter M]

I can't seem to find LSFNY either... I'm thinking it's the second moon or the bottom right corner (gray splotches?). Otherwise, I'm quite happy with the choice and placement of all the albums' elements in the BC&SL background.

-Marc.

[bosk1]

I'm thinking it is probably either in the scenery outside the door where the TOT eye is, or it is in the backbround of the Octagon on the floor.  But it's too hard to make out either of them at this resolution to tell for sure.

I fully support this idea.

And this is what I was getting at.

[Setlist Scotty]

Many thanx for all the kind words! I'm glad you all like it!

Does anyone know if Dream Theater will be selling tour shirts at the Iron Maiden shows? If so... what would the heading be? This isn't their tour (obviously  ).

This shirt and another will be available at the Maiden shows, along with a few other things - but certainly not as much as you'd find at a DT headlining gig. I do know for a fact that the posters will only be available at the club shows and online.

Well, that image IS from a DT release, but NOT an official release. It is the cover art from a DT bootleg (not an official one from Ytsejam Records). So Bosk and Hef are correct in that it's not a band sanctioned cover/image. However, it is absolutely hilarious!

As for LSFNY, it's in there! Took MP a little while to find it too!

Nope and nope.

He's probably kidding.. jeez guys

[glaurung]

Very cool design! Just the other day I was wishing DT would put out some posters.

Just ordered the poster. Will be getting the shirt at one of the DT shows.

[BRGM]

I can't see LSFNY! And what is that little stick with a red dot thingy on its end? :S

[BRGM]

The little girl is holding the LSFNY apple?

[Nic35]

I think we have a winner.

I can't see WDADU though.

[ScioPath]

The Stick with the red is the WDADU brand.
