There’s an upcoming concert tour featuring Toto, Christopher Cross, and Men at Work. If you didn’t know these artists and went solely by the tour’s promotional poster, you would think these were hard rock or heavy metal artists. Judging by the poster, you’re less likely to get caught between the moon and New York City and more likely to be cut there. The aggressive ad appears to be more inspired by the movie Gladiator than Toto’s ‘Africa’ or Men at Work’s cheerful and bouncy ‘Land Down Under.’

Here’s the poster. (CLICK POST)

The yacht rock stylings of Christopher Cross remind you of being in a sail boat, not action movies or slaying monsters while playing Dungeons and Dragons.

These commenters can’t help but laugh.

We do like that countries of the world theme.

Christopher Cross is a talented singer and guitar player, no doubt. But, we associate him with his hit song ‘Ride Like the Wind’, not ‘The Ride of the Valkyries.’ But, the song does feature a tasty solo.

Sorry, we’re picturing Michael McDonald singing backing vocals while slaying cave trolls.

One Internet historian wants commenters to know thatToto is named after a sword, not Dorothy’s cute dog. So the sword-themed poster has precedent.

We do love those Toto album covers, but none were ever dark and foreboding like this tour poster.

Some are saying the ad promises a musical experience that it cannot deliver.

We’re hoping that 80s teen sensations, Debbie Gibson and Tiffany, go on tour and hire the same promoters. Who wouldn’t want to see a poster of them drinking blood from the skulls of the Orcs they’ve just slain.
