ManetsBR Posted July 3, 2010 Author Share Posted July 3, 2010 (edited) I wonder why they didn't use it. When Chinese Democracy was avaiable for pre-order at BestBuy they had 3 covers avaiable, Aa, Bb and Cc, but then we just had one, a poor version of Mythical Bike cover that then turned into the only officialy released.Actually some copies of the alternative covers were really printed up.From Russia with LoveThe 'Sorry' Assault Rifle? Check out what's written on it Edited July 3, 2010 by ManetsBR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seely Posted July 3, 2010 Share Posted July 3, 2010 Never seen that assault rifle before, thanks for posting!Don't forget this one: (Couldn't find a link to it as the album artwork, just the picture itself)Though my favourite design is this one, (wish it had been the album artwork): Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howard2k Posted July 3, 2010 Share Posted July 3, 2010 That supposed real red hand looks like someone just printed it out and jammed it into their existing Chi Dem case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GivenToFly Posted July 3, 2010 Share Posted July 3, 2010 here.What is that place? I started seeing it mentioned around here a few days ago, now it keeps popping up everywhere, and it's full of members from here anyway. What's the point, just post on MyGNR. Who made it anyway?I browsed through it a bit and it looks to me like some sort of anti-HTGTH, it seems to have this 'fuck you Axl!' theme to it.Too much politics in the GNR fans community if you ask me. It's just a band people, have some sense of proportion! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nintari Posted July 3, 2010 Share Posted July 3, 2010 What I did was just take the booklet out, flip it over and slide it in backwards. It looks MUCH better. On a side note, they should have put "Guns N Roses" on top of the picture, "Chinese Democracy" below and left off that sorry ass "logo". God I hate that shit.

ManetsBR Posted July 5, 2010 Author Share Posted July 5, 2010 (edited) It's really written "From Russia With Love", thanks guys.Am I the only one who think it's interesting that it's written Best Buy on that rifle?BTW, those are cool too: Edited July 5, 2010 by ManetsBR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pico Posted July 5, 2010 Share Posted July 5, 2010 every single version of the 'alternative' covers are just awful. those shitty pictures with red hands and whatnot give me eye cancer. the bike is pretty boring but i prefer it.BTW, those are cool too:this guy should've been on the sleeve. i dig him.
