Assuming the picture at Best Buy is it?what do people think? I actually think it?s really cool. Like I said in the other thread?it has a sort of Who/Led Zeppelin/Floyd, 70s classic feel. Simple but elegant.

It's simple, and it's good enough for me. I do adore that giant basket, as well.

I like it because it?s not overdone. Think of Who?s Next, Led Zeppelin IV, Wish You Were Here, etc. The Chinese Democracy cover kind of has that feel.

I like it, very thought provoking. But one complaint I have is the text is too big, it would be better without the massive GUNS N'ROSES.

 I like the idea of just the name on the wall and Chinese Democracy along the side.

a tisket, a tasket, what's in Axl's basket? a sixer of Tsing Tao and some Kung Pao chicken dinner?

I'm really interested to see what the different covers are. While I'm kind of 'ehh' on the actual Best Buy jpeg, I think it's top notch that it's the same cover that was spoken of back in 2002. All these years, beers and tears later to have the same cover still there-amazing.

Covers or not, I'm getting any and all copy variations. Like the other classic albums posted, the music and the artwork become one.

If you mean timeless, then I would agree.

By looking at the picture, you can't exactly say "oh, it's from the 2000s".

I'm not in love with it, but I haven't seen a good pic yet. If the font is like that of the Illusions albums I think it will look pretty cool. It's a cool idea. Very glad to see they didnt go with the super cheesy looking star and dragon theme like on the 2001 tour merchandise.

I would have been disappointed if they went for some Dungeons and Dragons, Judas Prient/Maiden thing.

Yes I agree it has a effortless, random feel.

Like there it is...

Timeless feel too, like Jarmo said.

Great cover

It's cool, kind of a universal cover and obviously the fact that it's a real picture (as in not staged) is pretty sweet

I also like the (rumored) cover, the red star with the people crawling on it, if it does indeed turn out to be the authentic alternate cover
