i think the internet has made flyers somewhat less useful. i mean, anyone on this board (or one like it) is likely to know of most relevant releases before they are even finished since label owners make announcements ahead of time. its true that old xerox flyers look cool but maybe they arent worth the time for most labels. having said that, i just made a flyer for that bestial raids/hellish release and i plan to do more to promote upcoming relases.

I guess it's another step in the inevitable modernization of the underground. Still, it's much more satisfying to get flyers direct from the band and make contact through them than to have to sit up at 2 in the morning in front of the computer making sure I haven't missed anything!
Maybe the labels are still making flyers, but bands seem to have become a bit lazy recently. Not so many of the crazily drawn xeroxed ones with dodgy porn for extra incentive. |
Well, also nowadays is common that bands stopped sending promos for using only myspaces and shit.
Also, at least on my country, most people stiopped putting gig flyers on the street, and started promoting the gigs through internet only.
I have tons of flyers too, when trading, I usually add some
I have somewhere some flyers promoting Witches Hammer, Heathen Hoof, Procreation (don0t remember well) |

I send out a pille of flyers with every order or trade. Always have, always will.
This year also sent out some of my own for the first time...I was really surprised when a friend I haven't spoken to in years e-mailed me cause he got one of my flyers in a trade form Ukraine, of all places.... |

Every flyer I receive in the mail gets tacked up on my wall. Every single one. There's not much free space on my wall anymore, I might have to start covering the ceiling!  |

I still do and distribute flyers of others ! I think even when it doesn´t make anyone ordering from the source anymore it at least spreads the name of a band or release. As for me some flyers did awake interest to look further through the internet or whatever. E-Flyers get deleted unread.
I did split Flyers with NWN in the past too ! |

I still get a lot and distribute them of course if the weight does allow (there is no need to fill a package with 250g of flyers, when only 500 is allowed to send out an LP).
I also used the Flyer for the Sarcofago "Inri" LP for an older Hellpike issue and I think some more (yes, all for free Yosuke, haha).

I don´t have the feeling there are less flyers, I still get plenty of them.
I always send the further when doing trades or sending out band merch.
Like others here I keep at least one copy when they came with a release, same with stickers.
Kaamos used to print great flyers on slightly thicker carboard around the time they promoted their demo - great stuff!

the postcards from Primitive Art were cool, among others ideas of flyers.
The funniest is to receive flyers of my own releases, people don't realize they send a letter to the same address as on the flyer they join ? |

| I have an enveloppe full of flyers... don't collect them, but I do keep the ones from which I have the release, and usually put it in their respective CD/LP packaging. I don't think they are going away though, there were always a shitload of them going around! |

I am trying to locate the "boycott Nuclear Blast"-flyer, which advocated war against the Germans because they signed Mortification hehe. Minge Eater; did I send it to you?
I have a plastic bag full of flyers, because I have always been pretty lazy at spreading them. But it´s never too late.... |

Somewhere I have an anti-Behemoth flyer where Robby takes a piss on Nergy's face.
