Guns N'Roses should get Robert Williams to do the cover for Chinese Democracy.
Robert Williams was the painter behind the AFD rape scene.


I think I've found the idea Robert Williams painting:

He creates some crazy stuff.

That'll never happen - that relationship ended bady. There's an old Robert Williams interview floating around the web where he discusses the situation regarding the Appetite cover, He felt he got riped off and he's kinda pissed.

that to me looks like a man who is keeping his penis hidden "behind" his legs and pretending to be a woman and if you look at the face it looks more like a man then a woman :hihi: and the feet is very manly too..


but no it would have probably taken time to get all the rights to use a painting of him and such

They should not only hire him to do the cover, but also to open for them. Think about how badass it'd be to see Robin Williams running around, sticking his face into the crook of arm, poking fun at his prostate health, and then coming out to do a duet with Axl a la Sebastian Bach.

On the surface of it, he does try to do it all. I've never seen him drum though, I have seen him attempt to play guitar. He sure sings, although Izzy writes the best lyrics. As for drawing, does Axl draw? :)

How about Buckethead? He just did the covers for hundreds of his own CDs.  :hihi: That should add on a few more decades before CD hits stores.
