Title: Chinese Democracy Cover...real picture from first show in China? Post by: grog mug on December 02, 2008, 02:00:06 AM I remember Axl talking about this being the cover back in 2002 at Leeds I believe, but is it real? I remember reading somewhere, that he saw this, took a picture, and decided it should be the album cover. Is it something that was set up, or was it actually real?

Post by: AliveOrJustBreathing on December 02, 2008, 05:03:25 AM Axl showed the photo to the crowd in China but I don't believe there is any footage of that concert that wasn't taken by the band and then locked away just to tease and tempt fans

"August 14th, 2002 - Hong Kong, China @ Hall 3, HKCEC Notes: First show of the Chinese Democracy World Tour... Before GN'R played Chinese Democracy, Axl told a little anecdote why the new album is called "Chinese Democracy". He said it was because he saw a photo taken in Hong Kong, which he's using as the new album cover. Then he showed it on the video screens. It was a black and white picture of a bicycle with a basket, and in the wall behind it, someone had grafittied "guns n roses". " http://www.heretodaygonetohell.com/tour/tour0208.php |
