Possible Chinese Democracy cover

[iloozion]

I'm pretty certain that won't be the cover

[nesquick]

I hope it's not the official cover art - that's not very beautifull...
I think they should quit the black n' red and put more colours on the cover art. Put some blue, some white or some yellow.... make the cover art be a beautifull thing for the eyes (the Illusion Lp's are beautifull, especially Use 2).
black n' red with big fonts is too much associated with... you know... all those kind of "metal" cover arts and "metal" albums, it's ugly. It doesn't work for GN'R.
Put colours, put some life in the cover art. Robin can do it what do you think? his website is beautifull. Very well designed?

You know i had that (rumoured) original cover photo once. It was black and white... it actually wasn't a bad cover... anybody here have it?

You had the concept version? Not the one Axl showed on the screen?

You sure it wasn't the fanart Will made?

I think it's posted in some picture thread here.

edit: Here infact, I've also seen a different version.

I got a poster from one of the UK shows, It's mainly creme with red and gold. I thought that was really nice and would be happy if the cover was similar to that.

[russtcb]

I'd be happy if that is the real cover.

They could write Guns N' Roses - Chinese Democracy on a CD-R label with a Sharpie and I'd be happy though...

[Scree]

Something tells me thats not the album cover. They have album covers there and also other logo designs that aren't. Besides, how would a company like that get the artwork before ANYONE else in the press/music industry?

[Steel_Angel]

that pic would make a badass shirt..

[comaknight]

I always liked the gasmask-wearing soldier with the raised fist that was on one of the '02 tour shirts.

[CDesigner]

i didn't think about it until now, but that cover looks kind of a lot like this cover:

Nope that's not the one, the graffiti looked better than that, and it was from further away, like across the street.

[NicoRourke]

I like the one with the Buddha on it, it's great. Good job to whoever made it

I just hope the real CD cover will kick ass and that the album will be in a great packaging. You can do amazing stuffs these days.

Lets hope Robin's influence can bring some sort of taste to the issue. The first poster with the guy with the bandana and the other one with the guy wearing a gas mask punching his first are the only half decent pieces of artwork that have come from the new era. The star, and ALL those mobile phone wallpapers are terrible. People shouldn't be able to buy adobe products without first proving they have taste.

I'd be shocked if Robin doesn't have something to do with the art. But IMO everything but TSI has a good cover.

It looks like a rejected Linkin Park cover.

looks pretty cool to me, much better than the bike on the wall one IMO

Everyone always mentions the bike on the wall. Has anyone else ever seen the cover thats on the European versions of the Tokyo DVDs?

If you go into the discography on those versions theres a listing for CD, I think it says June 2002 or something for the release date. But more importantly there's a really shitty cover shown there. It's like a Mars looking backgrouna and picture of Axl in a space suit looking thing. It's TERRIBLE.

No one ever really mentions it so I was wondering if anyone else has even seen it. To be clear, I believe it's the Euro versions of the DVDs. They are in bright yellow and blue packages with the bullet logo on the front.

We used to sell them at Media Play here in the States and they were released about 3 or 4 months before the US ones.

This one? If so it's fan made Apparently Axl showed the bike on a wall and said it was the album cover in one of the japan shows in 2002...there is no known picture of it though, every bike on a wall pic you see is fan made as well

Yep, that's the one! I wonder how in the hell a fan made pic got on the Tokyo DVDs in Europe?!
