I Hope you guys like this, I spent alot of time on it. The artwork for the skuls was made by Jah772 of the mygnr forum so big Props to him! I put the skulls on the cross as a joke to see what it would look like, and i think its awsome let me know what you think Title: Re: Appetite For DEMOCRACY - 8 skull cross artwork, Check it out Post by: nonlinear on January 28, 2007, 02:25:40 PM the horizontal part of this cross should be a bit longer so that the cross looks correct (proportionally)
it looks too tall and skinny Title: Re: Appetite For DEMOCRACY - 8 skull cross artwork, Check it out Post by: Wando on January 28, 2007, 02:26:52 PM The truth? It looks stupid, in my opinion.
Appetite-cross is holy, no one should mess with it ;P Title: Re: Appetite For DEMOCRACY - 8 skull cross artwork, Check it out Post by: Joblow on January 28, 2007, 02:31:19 PM The truth? It looks stupid, in my opinion. Appetite-cross is holy, no one should mess with it ;P I agree... And WHY would you put the new band (im assuming thats what the skulls represent) on that cross? I dont get it what so ever...? Title: Re: Appetite For DEMOCRACY - 8 skull cross artwork, Check it out Post by: DaNutz on January 28, 2007, 02:33:26 PM Cool totem pole dude.

Come on, people. Don't be such assholes. The Appetite cross isn't "holy." In fact, it's REPLACEMENT cover art! That said, I think this works best as an amusing commentary on GNR. The idea that they became too "big" during the UYI days, with the size of the production, dolphin swimming, etc. And, now, the band has eight members. I don't necessarily agree that the band is too big...but if I thought that, then this would be a funny way to summarize it. Kind of like a political cartoon, but with music, instead of politics, as it's focus.

I wouldn't say the appetite cross is sacred, but it certainly is iconic. i'd say this new art is symoblic and thought provoking (as far as GNR goes that is). ?I like the "new" axl skeleton, made me smile. pretty cool. ?nice work.

Thanks man, I made this as a joke to amuse myself and i figured some of you might like it also, although I dont think the current lineup is too big, i think its perfect, I'm a huge supporter of the current GNR, and I'm not trying to say anything political ps estranged is my Favorite Music Video followed by November Rain and I love every GNR era better in Different ways Title: Re: Appetite For DEMOCRACY - 8 skull cross artwork, Check it out Post by: scar2d2w on January 28, 2007, 02:59:44 PM sometimes people are too serious. is it really necessary to insult people who are sharing something they've made? it's fine to give an opinion but i don't understand the need to be condescending when giving that opinion.

Music is art and all art is up to interpetation. Not everyone will like seeing their beloved old GNR images changed. Some people still think only AFD should be played by the old band. Those people can't stand change.
I think you did a cool nod to the past with a look to the future. : ok: Title: Re: Appetite For DEMOCRACY - 8 skull cross artwork, Check it out Post by: Bodhi on January 29, 2007, 12:21:06 AM ok im going to speak up here...and if i hurt the feelings of BOTH of his fans I am sorry....why the fuck is chris pittman on there??? seriously.... now i know you a few of you are going to flip out and say "chris contributed this and that" who gives a shit...he is the SECOND keyboard player....in any event I think the cross looks pretty cool...Its pretty funny...

No, it's not like that at all. Chris Pitman is probably the second most important member of the band after Axl. I promise you, when you see the liner notes you'll be fuckin' blown away by all Pitman's responsible for. You will eat your words.

You guys are passionate and you never give up.... Pittman is cool in my book, but hes about # 10 in the GNR chain right now, imo... Like I said tho, he's cool.... He will def have an effect on GNR in the future! Rock on guys :beer: Title: Re: Appetite For DEMOCRACY - 8 skull cross artwork, Check it out Post by: axleu on January 30, 2007, 04:41:50 AM Pretty cool! :)
But the horizontal part should be bigger, yep! Title: Re: Appetite For DEMOCRACY - 8 skull cross artwork, Check it out Post by: Robman? on January 30, 2007, 07:17:15 AM How did this turn into a Pitman thread?
He rocks, but that has nothing to do with the subject of the thread :hihi: Title: Re: Appetite For DEMOCRACY - 8 skull cross artwork, Check it out Post by: Eternal Flaming Sword of Death... on January 30, 2007, 09:17:29 AM i think its fun, except i think the Finck head should be just a little bigger....
good job, and Pittman DOES deserve to be on there, Fuck, he's been there longer than at least 3 of the people on that cross, and like they said, who knows what he does until we get the album, i bet some of you will end up on his nuts Title: Re: Appetite For DEMOCRACY - 8 skull cross artwork, Check it out Post by: gcluskey on January 30, 2007, 10:27:56 AM To the haters: I always appreciate fan artwork that's good and this is good. Its an amusing piece. People who rip these things apart and say they're shit are obviously lacking in creativity and are most probably youngsters who haven't developed a proper opininon on anything in life yet. Moody teenagers probably. Don't take life so fuckin seriously

The original will always be the best, but this cross is badass.

Please put two skulls each left and right, one skull up and two skulls down and then it will be awsome I'm Jewish so I dont really know the exact dimensions of cross, but if i try your idea it would be 5 skulls going across and only 4 skulls going down. From all the crosses I've ever seen, they tend to be taller than wider. thanks for the advice though |
