bacardimayne Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 (edited) Which one do you think is the better album cover? Personally, I think it's the cross by far. To me the first one is just a generic punk rock album cover. The second one is an iconic image that actually has relevance to the band and in my opinion, the cover is a big part of the reason the album is so iconic today.

Damn_Smooth Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 I've always been a much bigger fan of the original. Fucking censorship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freddie Mercury's Ghost Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 Didn't Axl say he wanted the cover to be the Challenger exploding?That would have been cool - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhazUp Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 The skull logo seems a bit more slick IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Projected Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 Although I do like the actual drawing on the original, the final version is much more iconic and grand. It's just one of those covers that are staples music history. Like op said, the original is quite similar to a lot of others, the final version is like no other.

dalsh327 Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 If you went to a CD store and based on the Robert Williams cover alone, what kind of music would you think that band did? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyler Drama Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 I love that big red monster. I actually have a denim vest with just a huge drawing of that guy on the back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChristmasFnatic Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 Cross + skulls got more attitude and is makes you want to see the band more.Other one looks to indie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosmo Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 The cross is a lot more iconic. The original, although very cool, doesn't stand out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
