Interesting that they put a picture of the original lineup even though they were only together for like 4 of the 14 songs on the album. I mean, it's my favorite lineup and I'm really happy to have that photo representing the band, but it does sort of ignore Matt Sorum, who supposedly saved the band in 1990.
I wondered that also.
I just thought that cover art would not have any members included 'cause it would mix things up. if we had new players on the cover, it would just confuse a average buyer because these guys don't play on the album. And now we have the old line up on the back cover which may communicate to the average buyer that nothing has changed. that's the current line-up. remember that many people still believes that Slash and co. are in GNR.
well, it's good to see original line up on the back cover (like nothing's changed.)
