Whatever happened to the alternate covers?

That's... Japan's flag though. Would've been a bit Spinal Tappish in that regard to go with that one for an album called Chinese Democracy.

Didn't see it as Japans flag, just noticed the roses

It's from a series by Kandinsky called "The Grenade Room".

He also had works and styles called "Gemism" and "China-ism". 

All of the Chinese Democracy feature artwork from these series, e.g.: the centerfold from the Grenade cover C is from China-ism. 

Yes, I don't have that one in appreciably high definition.

Anton Kandinsky has died since then! 2014. Wild.

That grenade and even the hand are so visually arresting, it does seem an odd choice to have gone with that subdued bicycle, but I've gotten used to it.

Whenever I go to the record store, I still look for the alternate covers though. Either one would be quite a find.
