GQ - 'Band of the year' scans

[domo-kun]

Ah I see unicorn answered as well.

And I just saw that the site says Lara Stone is a Dutch model.

I accidentally skipped all episodes of Hollands next top model. So that might explain. Ohmy.

I only know one Dutch model and thats Doutzen Kroes!
Since when does Holland produce top models

ETA: I just wiki'd her, she's a total traitor, she went to live in Paris
Out of all countries.

 

[Galeongirl]

I've never heard of her.. but it does explain why almost all stores I checked had her cover.

 

[bonocomet]

I think she's on almost every cover in every country actually. I have not seen ANY of the other covers yet.

 

[corianderstem]

Checked my local Barnes and Noble today - still the September issue. I'll try and swing by Pike Place Market tomorrow or Wednesday - that's my usual go-to place for foreign magazines.

I'm in Ireland on vacation right now. Managed to come across two copies of the U2 cover in Dublin, one for myself and one for my friend who's traveling with me. I haven't seen any since.

 

[Val]

OMG! I love all of them.

 

[domo-kun]

Just checked my store... Still the frigging september issue.
Came home with a new book with some U2 photo's in it, that I have never seen.
Its the band around War era It hink with some trees on the background they are made by Kees Tabak,
does this ring a bell to anyone? Or I'll scan them in asap.

 

[U2fan6313]

If anyone is desperate for a copy I would have no problems looking around and seeing if I can find a few more while I'm in Ireland and sending them when I get back to to Canada. But I don't have a paypal account or anything (and I can't really afford to just buy them for people...sorry!) but if something could be worked out I'd do my best.

I love the way that none of us can get over how amazing this photoshoot is! Right, I've managed to track down an extra copy of the mag, with U2 on the cover. I don't really need reimbursing for it or anything, I'm just happy to help a fellow fan out! Just not sure how to go about choosing who gets it. Any ideas?

 

[domo-kun]

First ask first serve?

 

[Val]

...I'm just happy to help a fellow fan out!

Wow! That's so nice of you!

 

[last unicorn]

Whoever has an extra copy: I'd be more than happy to have it. Please just send me a pm. I looked around today in another store with magazines, but just Lara Something again

That would be cool domo Can't really say for sure if that sounds familiar... U2 and trees? Wouldn't hurt to post them anyway!

I'll scan them after work today.
They are pretty, I especcially like Edge in these pics, and thats rare for anything pre-90's

 

[Jorinde]

Thanks so much for posting those pictures. They're so lovely!

 

[corianderstem]

Damn, Pike Place Market has let me down. Nothing but whats-her-name covers.

 

[domo-kun]

I'm feeling a hate thread comming up.

Can't wait!!!!

GQ produced

a. 1.000.000.000.000 copies with Lara Stone on the cover
2. 10 copies with U2 on the cover

I just think they're missing a big chance here by not selling any more issues with the U2 cover. There are enough wild women out there who are willing to pay extra prices to have that thing in their hands.

 

[domo-kun]

And a lot of old men to?

 

[mama cass]

what's making me giggle is the fact that people seem to have found copies with U2 on the cover easily in Ireland - it's like the Irish don't really give a shit haha

 

[Galeongirl]

Or they distributed them all to Ireland since they know they're an Irish band.

 

[waynetravis]

The same thing happened with a magazine that had Star Trek captain covers a few years back. Captains Kirk and Piccard weren't mass produced.
Patrick Stewart is a Yorkshireman and his cover was impossible to get in the Yorkshire area according to what the guy at WHSmith said when I got the GQ mag 2 weeks ago.

Haven't seen the U2 one since

 

[charleswise]

I'm looking for a copy with U2 on the cover as well if anyone has a spare.

 

[bonocomet]

Checked 3 more San Diego stores today. All Lara Stone.

 

[GraceRyan]

Yes. The one place near me all had Lara Stone. AND they were out of the protective wrapper. I'll bet no U2 even shipped to the US.

 

[bonocomet]

Hmm they are never in wrappers here, all the GQ's are always open, but yeah, I've yet to see any of the other covers.

 

[GraceRyan]

In the UK is it sold in a packet with another style magazine and rubber bracelet.

 

[bonocomet]

Oh right, I just meant I've never seen them sold over here like that. You can always flip through most any magazine, at least from what I've always seen.

 

[EdgeFest]

I'm anxiously awaiting ours here, I wonder if Canada will differ?? Maybe we'll get U2 here? **HOPES**
