Here Today... Gone To Hell!

Don't know if this has been brought up before, but does anybody know what the code at the bottom of the front cover means?

never seen it...ill look tho...maybe axl knows...

I believe some of it says "Slash seek you" and at the end it says "half-full"

I'd never noticed that!

It could be an eastern egg...never know

Slash was asked about these symbols in december (http://www.snakepit.org (http://www.snakepit.org))

Our last question is a good one, but SLASH is unable to shed any light on it. "On The Spaghetti Incident?, what are those strange markings on the CD label near your name?"

SLASH replies, "I have no idea -- I don't have the CD in front of me."

I guess it's an Axl thing... like "My World", the other band members (claim they) didn't even know that track would be on UYI.

are u meaning the square,half square s qz /eyj thing at the bottom?

yeah that thing...what the hell is that???

I also wanted to know what that shit was so if anyone can give a clue they would totally rock

peace, :peace:

Wow... that's pretty neat.  I never noticed that before either.  The things that ya notice, years later, eh? :)

i have always wondered this but never thot to start a thread.  That thing is weird.

Yeah it's funny how you don't notice things for years. I never noticed this to now. Maybe it's from Axl or the record label?  :-\

more than likely its a bin number or some kind of label associating the cd with the company.  A marking put there by the record company basically.

This symbol ( / ) is called a "slash"; sqz = phonetic symbol for "excuse" so...

I think it means nothing and was put there to get people talking about the album - which it did back then .... and even now it seems.

I remember reading on the GN'R Usenet newsgroup years ago something along the lines that the "code" said something like "In 1999, The Great Master Shall Return" or something to that effect, and that everyone assumed that the "Great Master" was Axl.

And oddly, in 1999, we got "Oh My God" and Live Era. Coincidence?  :hihi:

Apparently, that "Great Master" stuff came about back in '93/'94 or something, I can't remember all of the details.

Oh well, does it hold any baring? Doubt it...just thought it was an interesting thing to bring up.

excuse slash?maybe slash knew he was gonna leave in the future and stuck it on there

I'm going to mention the unmentionable, but those symbols look like some of that code crap that used to show up on GNFR.com.   :yes:

Strange. I've never noticed it either after all this time. :-\

The conspiracies, the conspiracies!!

Hehehe... forget I mentioned anything :)  

it sure fucking does.... i wish i could figure that shit out..

Still say is was a bunch of crap to get us talking.....

Fuck TSI anyway just a bunch of covers that no one cares about.  Give us CD, that'll give us something to talk about.

maybe its the release date for CD
sorry, somebody had to do that :hihi:

In some interview back in 93, Slash said: "There is a significance, but I forgot it"

(at the bottom, third last question)

Nice and interesting !!
Someone has to know... !

funny.. huh?!

It's the answer to riddle # 7 "what's big and tall and sways in stride ?" :hihi: ;) ;D


edit to say I am kidding ......I don't even own this album so I had no idea what this was until I read this thread.

I agree with whoever said it was put on there by the marketing company.
