Getizzyback Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 (edited) Man I can't believe all the different "Black Ice" covers, there is a red (which is the regular one)...., a white,...a yellow...and if you look hard enough, there is a blue one which has more pics and the lyrics, and it was like a couple dollars more.
