amazon.com has stuff. It's the way for me to go whenever I really want something that I can't find in stores around here. If you had a hard time finding her stuff up there....you can imgagine how shitty some stores are around here. I'd be musically depraved if I didn't have the internet.

Looks like JB to me. Hard to tell tho. You're right, it could be LR.

that looks like JB.

you got it. Just received mine in the mail. cool 3-D cover.

The Devil jamming to left of the Kurt Cobain angel is Hunter S. Thompson.

It cracks me up that Waldo is in the group.

Kurt Loder does a piece on Prince and Cameron Crowe has a surprise for Anx.

That was weeks before the name change.

Stax said:

Cool.

Speaking of Anx, he doesn't have to worry about goin' up-side somebody's head for omitting Little Richard.


He's to the right of Billy Joel and to the left of Run DMC.

so THAT'S where LR is, eh? so the big-haired guy with the big grin really IS prince? what a weird choice of pictures to use.

Anx said:

Picked one up from the bookstore yesterday. Very cool cover concept that was different than I expected.
I almost put it back after I had to wade through approx 12 pages of ads to get to the TOC.

And they do have a "numbered silhouette" page for identification.

However the folks in the back rows really got dicked.
Even with the mag in your hands, it's hard to discern who some of them are.
If it wasn't for the tell-tale top hat, thick eyebrows/mustache and long curly hair, Zappa would be one.

An idea from my SSS ($tart $ome $hit) file.


How do you feel about your favorite artist not making the front row?

theAudience said:

really? zappa's one of the first ones i spotted when i was looking for prince. i think i saw courtney love lurking around back there too. leave it to her to crash the cover.

theAudience said:

eh, it's rolling stone. bowie got close enough, i suppose. they COULD have snuck the residents in there somewhere...the eyeballheads would have contributed nicely to the psychadelic feel of the cover. of course, the rez would have a hard time making fun of pop culture if they were included in the very group of pop icons that they've enjoyed making fun of for the past thirty years or so...

Anx said:

Some of the folks in the back rows are just clearer to me in 2-D than 3-D.
And some it doesn't matter at all. Like Ozzy (to the left of Zappa).

No Courtney Love that I can see.

I'm wondering if there's some weird death-joke behind why they placed Kenny from South Park near John F. Kennedy?

Definitely. Otis also dicked. Interesting that Lennon appears twice and I'm kind of bummed that Kevin Bacon didn't make the cut. Duh.

I saw the magazine right after I saw this thread...and you know what....Didn't see him either! Kind of pissed me off, so I didn't bother buying it. Although I could later.

I looked for this magazine over the weekend,but I couldn't find it anywhere

theAudience said:

whoops...i just got the issue today, and the person i thought was c.lo was actually debbie harry...they really chose some oddball pics for that cover collage.

they shoulda thrown in klaus nomi somewhere just for a bit of oddball color, ya know. speaking of which, warhol's place in the crowd was a RIP-OFF!

anyway, i LOVED the cameron crowe "surprise" - i LOVE that "james dean" cover pose.

Is THIS Prince? ((It's a thumbnail... Click to enlarge.))



The person I circled makes me think of this pic:

I'm surprised that they didn't put P in the front or second row, but yet, they put Madonna in front of Elvis?! Fidy got a much clearer and better position than many legends. No KISS? I'm sorry but they sold waaaay too many albums and made to big of an impact in the 70's (postive or negative) to not get ANYWHERE on the cover. No Iggy, no George Clinton, no Lenny Kravitz, no Outkast. But yet not only does Fidy gets a pristine spot, Snoop is way in the back? Nah. Granted, like I said, I'm just glad Hendrix is in the front row where he should be and Chuck Berry is front and center. Hendrix was the first person I looked for. I love John Lennon, but damn, two pics?!

sextonseven said:

The whole "twin" thing, too, which is way sicker than lusting for a 17 year old IMO.

Santana?

Anx said:

I think it is the best story in the entire issue. It puts that era in a new light for me.

theAudience said:

I gave up and peeled the thing off. There's a clearer image underneath. And I think that's Courtney to the left of Manson.

anon said:

That's Stevie Nicks

Stax said:

You're right. Wow...she's young. tA is right too....no Courtney. But then, should there be?

Considering it's the 1000th issue there are so many more deserving...and then again there are quite a few that won't stand the test of time and shouldn't be there at all. They're only there to move copies...this makes me think less of the whole thing.

anon said:

nope

Stax said:

if 50 cent weren't front and center on the cover, i might be inclined to agree. if they can put justin timberlake on the cover, they can squeeze the widow cobain into the picture.
