Gordon Comstock Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 (edited) That's fucking AWESOME!!This one is even better than the other "alternate" version...EDIT: Supposedly these are fakes. Not sure how, but I heard on another forum that the artist responsible for the dancing skeletons confirmed he/she gave Axl two paintings(Doggie and The Lizard Part of My Brain), not three. The dancing Skeletons painting was made in 2010. Not sure what to make of this.http://sandrayagi.blogspot.com/2010/04/twin-6.htmlHmm... Could've been for the re-release that never happened?

Young_Gun Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 The German has posted a picture of the Catcher in the Rye page. Doesn't seem like a fake...

Guest gunns5 Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 ok with the help of BIG G translater The guy that has it has been saying thisperson 1: i would like to buycd: so far i have not thought about sellingperson 1: 'if you do then think of me'cd: I thought maybe more of a deal for an unreleased song ... maybe someone is interested in an exchange hm.. then I look at their registration date of the guy who supposedly has this and16.08.2011Maybe hes full of shit, or maybe he isnt..

Young_Gun Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 Come to think of it, it wouldn't be difficult to get a background painting and type some lyrics over it using Photoshop. Especially if it's used for an unreleased track. I think it's fake. The recent registration of the user also is telling. He hasn't taken a picture of the actual inside of the booklet, it's all just scans, probably just a print screen off the computer. A legitimate open book photo would be much more authentic.

I'm just being sketical, seems fishy. The registration date.. then the request for an unreleased song, this guy just signed up to a Guns forums yesterday! An open book photo from a decent distance would be much more believable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaneisKing1389 Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 You can see a Winnie the Pooh knockoff bear in the top right. I'm gonna assume it's fake based on the fact that I don't think Axl or the band or the management are stupid enough to use something like that without permission. It'd be stupid to pay for a usage like that. Who knows, though? It's a cool cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The difference is that Winnie the Pooh is Disney and you don't fuck with Disney. Copyright revolves around that company.

Axl Rose aka God Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 Guys...it's not too hard to get ahold of glossy paper, print on it, and have it stapled with a booklet press. I could easily make a fake cover with these scans and then have it shrinkwrapped by my friend at Best Buy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could easily make a fake cover with these scans and then have it shrinkwrapped by my friend at Best Buy.You are right. However, there is evidence that supports both opinions. The serial number given matches. The thread has not been deleted off HTGTH. However the artist that created the Dancing Skeletons said he/she only sold 2 pieces to Axl(not 3), and the Dancing Skeleton piece was made in 2010. Also strange how the user creates an account 2 days ago and quickly states he will trade for a new song. If he knew it was rare, most likely he would be a forum member from some time ago. If he didn't know it was rare he wouldn't have bought 2 of them. And surely would not 'click' into asking for an unreleased song a day later. It doesn't add up.

DaneisKing1389 Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 (edited) I love how the big deal is that his account is new. I'd certainly create a new account if I had something to sell/trade and knew I was doing something possibly illegal (expanding unreleased songs/leaks). We haven't heard anything about IPs so we don't know if he's new entirely or if he made a new account.And just because the account is new doesn't mean he's new. I read the forum for about a year before I actually signed up. I mostly read it without posting. I have around 300 in almost 6 years I think.
