I don't live in your area anymore. But I did order myself a Red Sox vinyl cover, still awaiting its arrival. But i also got an alternate artwork vinyl that i did receive. It is translucent blue and sounds great. Thanks for sharing. Keep on rockin' imagine yourself at 80, still showing us you cds.
Hackney Diamonds" is a quite impressive album, rivaling their "Tattoo You" or "Voodoo Lounge" albums. The good use of syncopation in rhythm, coupled with the unexpected guitar sounds added here and there, adds a delightful flavor. I can't help but admire & love Keith Richard's guitar sound.
Aloha Brandon, Thank you for Sharing your experience at the Rolling Stones pop up store. That Cd alternate Cover is so cool. That Rolling Stones logo tee-Shirt is amazing . Always looking forward to watching your next video. Mahalo Ed
This new album is exactly what the world needed.... I got my LP on blue vinyl delivered yesterday. It has an alternate cover unlike the one with the dagger... Great job with this video Brendon!
If a deck of playing cards was $20 and t-shirts were $60, I don't wanna know the prices for some of those bigger ticket items. Glad you had fun and picked up some cool loot.
40$ for a Trucker cap?!? Gimme a f***ing break! I'm guessing the Leather jacket then is 799$ or 1200$ even.... I am still waiting for a pop-up store for Armored Saint so I can do some shopping!
The RS trademark tongue did actually appear once on an album cover. The 2012 compilation titled "GRRRR!!" showed it on the mouth of the gorilla. And I do believe it was on the cover of the 40 Licks compilation which came out in 2002. As far as being on the cover of an original studio album, you and the person who brought up this topic may be right. $60 for a tee? That's crazy to the nth degree. I got my Stones tee at Kohl's for less than $15, and that was 5 or 6 years ago. I'd sooner wait for Hot Topic's Black Friday band tee deals. I could never pay $60 for a tee. That's just me.
I’ve always appreciated that about the city. If something is touring or only hitting major cities, there is a good bet it will hit NYC. I try to take advantage of these types of unique experiences when I can….and of course share them with all of you!
Thank you for showing this Scandinavian Stones fan that cool Rolling Stones pop-up store. We don’t get cool stuff like that here. I actually haven’t gotten my Stones records yet, amazon Germany is terribly slow all of a sudden. Friend of mine in Ohio has ordered me a copy of one of their MLB vinyl editions!
Well I live in Atlanta Georgia and I am still waiting on my MLB stones album cover… But I’m still excited about it…The epic marketing of this album 😜 the stones have made this super fun again!
@@davidtrahan3062 I agree, not sure my wallet thinks it’s fun, but hey, 18 years am I right? Glad I had a friend in Ohio as many of the products available in the US won’t ship across the pond. Enjoy it all when it arrives!
Thank you so much for doing this! I was very curious what those pop-up stores offered and looked like and now I know. ( .. and knowing is half the battle.) I am enjoying the album too and love that these guys are still rocking! It is awesome.
Hey Great video!! Thanks for showing the items to buy at the pop up store. How much were the lps and that alternate cd? Was the mark up big? Thanks for showing the items enjoy your shirt and cd!! Take care
They opened a pop-up store here in Brussels as well (wonder if they have specific merch for Europe?), but I won't have the time to check it out... Quite expensive, though! Cheers.
I can't imagine the cost of the rent + paying the folks working there. I wonder if it would have been more profitable selling all that merch on their website.
Trust me they’re making buckets of cash. But it’s also about promotion. The store is a living breathing 24/7 commercial. Then you have all the people posting and doing news stores on it. This is not a money losing venture nor is it simply about selling merch. You’ve got to see it for the bigger picture that it is.
@@BrendonSnyder I mean that explains why the shirt you got is $50-$60, someone needs to pay for the overhead, right? also, is that location a vacant one or they temporarily rented the spot of a business that was already there. Cheers !
Yeah Pop Ups are definitely becoming a thing more now, its a good idea if you can get it, David Bowie had one in 2022 that was amazing in Soho I hit that up a few times, I will be going to this, this ironically is also a reason a lot of stores got limited stock on stuff they wanted you going to this. there have been a few others here in NYC, Olivia Rodrigo did one here for her album release and it shut down blocks because people thought she was in there lol.
I filmed a video at the Bowie 75 Pop-Up Store too, see link if you’re interested ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-UWWvbFGeiQw.htmlsi=IVmsHevEpembzEWG
I agree. But as a pop-up store that was only in NYC for a couple weeks. If they stocked it like a real store they would never sell half of it and be stuck with it at the end. Keep in mind that these pop-up stores are really just meant as promotion and advertisement to keep the band’s name in the public eye. So they act more as something to go see than something that is meant to sell tons of product and turn a profit like a real store.
Yeah that would be cool but so far Aerosmith has never been a big merchandising band. I think if they had a new album out they could do it. But just for a Farewell Tour probably wouldn’t draw that many people.
@@BrendonSnyder It would be fun if this new Stones album would prompt Aerosmith to make one last album to go out on a high note. One WITHOUT BALLADS. Just the ballsy rock like they used to make.
Oh that’s too bad. I asked at the store and they said it had all the same stuff as the London store. I did assume the special editions vinyls for the two local baseball teams was probably unique but I thought perhaps you’d get the ones for your local football team.
Hi Brendon, its what you zeroed in on at 2:33 in your video. That’s the FC Barcelona (FCB) soccer team crest. I guess some kind of merchandise partnership with the Rolling Stones? A bit random I agree!
Barcelona are sponsored by Spotify on their shirts Spotify have done a deal with the stones and Barcelona For the derby game on the 28th oct, Barcelona will wear the stones lips logo on their shirts
Yeah I went there yesterday and those shirts just are too much, a lot of them are on their site or very similar for about $20-30 dollars less so I stuck with getting a vinyl limited edition NY Mets version and then went to Barnes and Noble and got the digipack exclusive to B&N so they say it is, but its got actually band photos in the booklet as opposed to the standard cd
It’s not all designed for this location. Only the two vinyl editions of the album that are designed around the local baseball teams. The rest of the merch is available at their store in London. So I’m sure it will go back to their store.
@@BrendonSnyder That wouldn't make logical sense,as the costs would be too much to make the merch profitable. Would you think they might just discount everything so they can get rid of it tonight?
That’s the prices these days. When was the last time you were at a concert? Anything from a band’s website…an official item, $40, $50, $60 is not out of the ordinary. It’s sad, but that’s the reality.
@@BrendonSnyder Last show I went to was Tool in 2022 and for the first time ever, I passed on buying a shirt at the show. It was $45 and I decided not to....I understand that's the going rate, but it's ridiculous in my opinion and especially so for shirts which are only printed on one side. I'm not criticizing you or anyone who buys them, but for me, it's enough.
