Here Today... Gone To Hell!

does anybody have any info about the portrait inside the tourbook  from the illuision tour the name  or who painted it i think i saw it on the history channel the other night. me and my friend think it may be the hall of records in heaven or the academy with plato and socrates.

Ok, I'm not sure what are you talking about. I have the "Use Your Illusion tour 1993" book, but I don't know what portrait you are talking about. The first page is the drawing form the illusions album and the second is another drawing of six characterizided skeletors. The Axl skeletor is wearing the american flag jacket, slash's grabbing a bottle of JD, Duff's smoing a cig...is that what you are talking about??

By the way, this book has the coolest GNR perfomance pictures ( besides the Photographic history) I've ever seen!!!! There's even room for pictures of Adam Day, Earl Gabbidon, Doug Goldstein, guys from security, Craig Duswalt ( the assitant to Axl Rose) to whom he dedicated "Attitude" once ( can't really remember where)

Tokyo '92

maybe my illusion tourbook is older .the front is the yellow illusion cover you open it and the portrait is  2 pages in yellow and the last page in the book is the portrait in blue /. i know mark kostabi  drew the illusion cover but i think he took a part of the picture  and drew the  little guy guy  writing .so im guessing he didnt draw the original painting which is probally a very old painting .

That's "School of Athens" by Raphael.
