I wonder if the article will be just a retrospective or if they got any of the guys to give some quotes or contribute to the article at all. It is safe to assume Axl didn't, but I wonder if the other 4 might have talked about the album at all. Has anyone gotten a chance to read it who has the magazine already?

Although, I love the photo and I think they look really beautiful. That cover don?t make me happy I would prefer to see a new photo of Axl or the current lineup of GNR.

I sense the emergence of the ol' "old vs. new" argumentent erupting here anytime soon. Why don't we just take it for what it's worth: a celebration of the 20th Anniversary of one of the greatest rock records of all time! Nuff Said!

Flashing pictures of the old band on the cover and calling them Guns N' Roses undermines and hurts him, and is in no way helpful. I should re-phrase - ?If Axl is going to use the next couple of months to actually promote the release of Chinese Democracy - then having this picture on the cover of the most famous Rock & Roll magazine a month or two BEFORE the actual promotion, could be a good thing - yes ** And I don't care what's on the cover, who's being interviewed, - I will bet you my bank account that there is a mention of Chinese Democracy within this article - good or bad - it will be there |

It creates confusion as Jarmo has said. He saw GNR last week in Japan, and it was not the line-up that is on that cover. Covers like that only serve to stoke nostalgia in people and remind them that GNR now is not the line-up that recorded the greatest album in rock history. It makes Axl's job to sell the new line-up that much harder when a major publication keeps throwing stuff like this in his face. |

I don't think it creates any confusion unless you have been living under a rock. Everyone who follows rock in the least knows that lineup isn't together anymore. I think Axl may be able to get on the cover again, but not until the album is set for release or has been already released. Ali |

Whew, I'm glad this turned out to be something. Now I don't feel like a schmuck for starting a thread about it.

You should have seen the cover they wanted to do. It wasn't a glove, believe me.

The cover is celebrating 20 years since the release of Appetite For Destruction. Guns N' Roses played a bunch of those songs at the shows I saw in Japan, and the fans fucking loved the shows. /jarmo |
