*bad obsession* Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 It's done my Raffaello Sanzio. It's called "La scuola di Atene" which means Athens School. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drops_of_jupiter Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 I've seen that pic!! Well, I don't think it was the real one. I was at some art gallery and it was displayed in the corner on a wall. I was a bit psyched and making a big deal out of it while my friends were just like: 'Uh....yeah..that's nice for you ' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCGNR Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 ^ actually, not to be a smart-ass, but the guy leaning over the guy circled is on the cover too You're right. Good pickupI've never seen the full photo either. This is very cool.I think I remember reading at the time, that Axl saw the Art-Work, liked it, was writing about Illusions for some of the songs on UYI , and thought it a good fit. He then reached out to the artist himself, who was kinda like " Ok, sure " or something - Don't quote me on the details, I'm only giving info based on memory, which isn't that great.
