Adam-geddon's theme of destruction was true to the GPK brand. Battle of the Bands reminds me of Trashy TV where you need to be a fan of the subject being parodied to enjoy the art, which instantly alienates much of the potential audience.

I don't think this set even has any classic kids in it. Live Mike could just be the wrapper and box art. The sell sheet for Adam-geddon specifically stated "new and classic GPKs" but the Battle of the Bands sell sheet indicates "brand-new artwork and characters". There are plenty of music-themed classic kids (Windy Winston, Deaf Geoff, Horny Hal, etc.) but I'm not expecting them to make an appearance.

Unless its like the Trashy TV set where no true classic characters return but their are characters that are parodies of classic characters like Open Scully who is similar to Bony Tony, Jon Snowy who is a parody of Chillie Millie and Hell's Kit who is a parody of Hot Scott

looking forward to collecting this set You must have an eclectic taste in music. I can't get excited about a series that has parodies of The Beatles, Taylor Swift, and Chuck D in the same set.

I think this would have been a decent theme if they based it as heavy metal bands if they are going to use Live Mike as their poster boy. This would have made me nibble a bit. But having various mainstream garbage I don't listen to makes it easy to stay away from this series.

Who painted the Nirvana one? I hate this era of GPK. Good ideas but no skills or brains to pull them off. Self-taught artists have no place in painting finals. Having them learn on the job and f**k up cards that could be great like the Nirvana one hurts to watch.

cant wait for my death grips gpk No Death Grips man, sorry. Also, no At The Drive In, no Slayer, no Anthrax, no Sunny Day Real Estate, no Cloud Nothing's, no Promise Ring, no Dinosaur Jr., no Ween, no Buzzcocks, no Sonic Youth, no White Zombie, no Rage Against The Machine, no Chemical Brothers, no Pavement, no Bush, no Hole, no My Bloody Valentine, sorry. Most of the current artists listen to John Mayer, Nickleback, Kid Rock, Third Eye Blind, and other small wiener-sellout corporate fraudrock.

I would have loved just 80s and 90s groups. the Taylor swift card seems a bit like the online cards. Still think the most of the artists are great, just some weird art direction. hope some of the other cards turn out better, with 90+ concepts, I'm not holding my breath

Even worse, some of these guys are bad at drawing! It's a travesty how bad many of these recent GPKs are drawn. John Pound must look at these newer GPKs and think you all are a bunch of f**cking retards who can't draw. I bet if John Pound took a s**t and stuck a pencil in it and put a piece of paper in front of it, his s**t could draw a Cabbage Patch Kids parody better than half these clowns that works at Topps.

I dig engstrom and simkos styles...I'm pretty sure the crap cards are majority "other" artists. Would love to see what pound would have done w the nirvana card! We're lost as a hobby without the man and no Metallica card? How did swift get in but not one of the biggest bands of all time. Is Taylor swift even considered a "band"? Not in my book also how can they have live mike on th box w no Van Halen concept. All very confusing and for that reason...I'm out

We're lost as a hobby without the man Fuggin up the Nirvana card is unforgivable. In my mind this is the beginning of the end. FIX IT TOPPS, there's time!!! Scrap the first Nirvana card and let Brent paint the redo. Or, remove the card altogether.

How do you know Metallica and Van Halen are not in the set? They only released something like 9 images. From what I've heard from everyone else it's a pretty diverse group of bands (and singers). Old and new. Joe did Swift, I did The Who, Brent did Ozzy, Harry Styles, Public Enemy and Led Zeppelin and Neil Camera did the Nirvana, AC/DC and U2 album covers. I'm assuming the subsets (besides the 10 album covers) will be based on time periods or genres (or both).

And I could be wrong completely, it is an assumption of course. More than willing to say I'm wrong. just not impressed in the least from what I've seen so far. Are the other 60 pieces by Im?

I honestly don't know if she is working on this series. I'm aware of all but 17 pieces right now and who is doing them and none of those are by her.
