And this isn't just some other band's version of tabloid cover art: (http://markopigac.blog.siol.net/files/2007/08/guns_n_roses_gnr_lies_a.jpg) (http://i39.tinypic.com/oj041f.jpg) Title: Re: Another band copies GN'R artwork.... Post by: Smoking Guns on January 24, 2009, 06:13:55 PM Pretty darn lame if you ask me. Makes you appreciate the origianal cover more!
Title: Re: Another band copies GN'R artwork.... Post by: russtcb on January 24, 2009, 06:37:36 PM This is along the lines of what alot of newer bands do. You'll see a t-shirt for some shit new band and they'll have the nerve to put their band name in someone else's font. Like AC/DC or Metallica, something really obvious. It's like, if you are trying to get yourself noticed, how's about you do it on talent instead of trying to catch someone's eye if they're a fan of someone else.
Title: Re: Another band copies GN'R artwork.... Post by: western_chaos on January 24, 2009, 08:13:45 PM What a lack of original idea. Come up with your own concept...
Title: Re: Another band copies GN'R artwork.... Post by: crow316 on January 24, 2009, 08:31:59 PM Copying the "LIES" cover IS their concept. Its an homage. Its more of an original idea than having some marketing guy come it with generic artwork.

It's not an homage if the source isn't credited and reimbursed, it's stealing. Title: Re: Another band copies GN'R artwork.... Post by: Chuzeville on January 25, 2009, 06:03:26 AM Well, the general idea had been used before... But in that case it's a straight adaptation.

Post by: BlowUpYourVideo on January 25, 2009, 06:11:34 AM I think some people are getting confused between a parody/tribute and a rip-off...

is this a rip-off or an homage? If its blatantly obvious what you are referencing, its an homage/tribute. Thats what this band is doing with the LIES cover. They arent trying to hind the fact that its inspired by the GNR cover. Title: Re: Another band copies GN'R artwork.... Post by: y2marmar on January 25, 2009, 06:56:46 AM They want to be noticed THey want publicity and what better way to do it than this?
Title: Re: Another band copies GN'R artwork.... Post by: crow316 on January 25, 2009, 07:13:33 AM I dont think they did it for publicity. They probably just wanted to pay tribute to GNR.
Title: Re: Another band copies GN'R artwork.... Post by: Death Cube K on January 25, 2009, 07:43:00 AM What about Motley Crues Too fast for love cover and the Bruce Springsteen cover. How would u characterize that one?

Title: Re: Another band copies GN'R artwork.... Post by: LIGuns on January 25, 2009, 09:08:47 AM I've always like the LIES cover.....

How would u characterize that one? You mean the one where Motley Crue ripped off the Rolling Stones' "Sticky Fingers?" Title: Re: Another band copies GN'R artwork....

tongue-in-cheek though, "here I am, standing with the best of them" :hihi: Title: Re: Another band copies GN'R artwork....

That's because most bands these days are talentless and derivative.and obviously these guys are no different. what a bunch of tool bags. trying to rip off axl and gnr to make a name for themselves? pathetic. i hope axl sues these clowns so they don't try and ruin any more gnr covers. Title: Re: Another band copies GN'R artwork.... Post by: jaknudsen on February 02, 2009, 07:25:04 AM Pretty darn lame if you ask me. Makes you appreciate the origianal cover more! If it makes you (and possibly others) appreciate the original more, it can't be all that lame? Sounds like a successful homage. Title: Re: Another band copies GN'R artwork.... Post by: Saul on February 02, 2009, 05:54:52 PM all this 'unoriginal' and 'copying' talk coming from a bunch of people with usernames and sigs copying axl's name, gnr lyrics or GNR pictures?!
Yep. Hypocrisy starts now!! : ok: Title: Re: Another band copies GN'R artwork.... Post by: ppbebe on February 02, 2009, 06:05:35 PM mmm yours aren't so original either, saul.
Title: Re: Another band copies GN'R artwork.... Post by: Saul on February 02, 2009, 06:12:53 PM mmm yours aren't so original either, saul. Never claimed em' to be - but do you see me on here complaining about this band ripping off the Lies' album cover? Exactly. :peace: Title: Re: Another band copies GN'R artwork.... Post by: Uber-Tech on February 02, 2009, 06:30:41 PM Not quite sure what they were aiming for with this. It doesn't make me want to hear or buy anything by a band called Amoral. It makes me want to put Lies on :).
I don't understand the idea of producing an album where the cover makes me want to listen to something else. Maybe I just don't get it.... Title: Re: Another band copies GN'R artwork.... Post by: Classic Case on February 10, 2009, 12:45:13 AM they couldnt think in something original???
Title: Re: Another band copies GN'R artwork.... Post by: Eclipsed107 on February 12, 2009, 11:07:11 PM Is everyone here a moron?
What's the big deal, so a band paid honor to Gn'R and used their cover for a single. Big f'n deal, like there aren't more important things to worry about in life. Let's all sit around and shed some tears over this disgusting act of indecency and write angry letters via the interweb! Title: Re: Another band copies GN'R artwork....
