Amir Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Are there any differences between the original artwork and the World on Fire album art apart from the Slash Top Hat™ on the smiley face?Reminds me of Robert Williams' AFD painting, wonder if that was what Slash was going for.

Nosaj Thing Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Reminds me of Robert Williams' AFD painting, wonder if that was what Slash was going for.Don't think so. Slash and Ron English had a relationship waaay before he started working with Myles. Actually, I think Slash's store was selling the smiley with the top hat not so long ago.

Crash Diet Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Is Slash's next show before June 16th? Because he said he would definitely play some new songs this summer.Yeah, he's got one with Aerosmith in Berlin on the 9th of June, then a bunch more dates with Aerosmith in the US and Canada over the summer: https://www.songkick.com/artists/44022-slashfucking exam period i can't make this Berlin gigIt's a shame because good friends of mine moved to Berlin a month ago so i could easily relate the two and going to the gig and see my friends, but it seems exams couldn't let it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go to the show. On a serious note, don't. Study is always first.I was thinking in terms of the Appetite for Destruction painting showing a world in disarray in a surreal manner, and World on Fire being of the same theme in both name and album art.Gotcha now. Yeah, but 'World On Fire' is a lame title. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
username Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 I will never be able to fathom why they didn't put Messages on there. It's maybe the best thing they ever recorded.This is good too Man, I really wouldn't mind an album (or even an EP) with VR leftovers like this...

LA_0013 Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Reminds me of Creams' Disraeli Gears cover, for some bizarre reason.It's kinda cool - certainly less cliche than It's Five O'Clock Somewhere and the 'Slash' album cover LA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slash2baz Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 To get the pre sale code, you HAVE TO be on Slash's mailing list. If not, no code or wait until friday for general sale ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amir Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 For the UK shows you have to buy a copy of the album to get in on today's presale. I'll try my luck with tomorrow's Live Nation presale instead for the London show, and wait until Friday for the Cologne show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
