I Posted something about Dave Hill (Guitarist with Slade) a while back and any album cover he appers on just looks a bit funny, i think it’s the fringe that does it, have you got any others??

😆 , Lee. It’s nice to know that, amongst other things, Yngwie has managed to do that trick with a sparkler at bonfires. I can actually spell my name with one, but then I’m not called “Yngwie”

Every album he has ever done features a picture of himself as the main subject, mostly holding his guitar, notice the cuban heels on the shoes, he must be about 4ft 2ins, heres a question posed to him by Guitarist magazine a few years back…
Q: What’s with the large Ferrari stickers you’ve got on the rear of your Strats?
YJM: “I used to have two Ferraris. I traded one in for a Rolls Royce though because I’m a father now. I can’t get the baby seat, the buggy and everything in the Ferrari. Its just impossible, so I got the Rolls”.anyone know where i can get 2 large stickers first one spelling WAN second one with the word KER, i will of course send these off to the Swedish fruitcake so that he can stick them on his large forehead.. 😆

Apart from zonicweb, flickr is worth a look for some alternatives:

did they really sit around a table and discuss this, and then come to the conclusion that it would be a great album cover??

Odd 😕 . No problems here, although it’s probably stored in my temp. I’ll come out and back in, see if that makes a diff. ‘Tis a funny cover, for sure.
Here’s another site-link:

Can’t beat prog rock. Although I was never much of a fan of Roger Dean’s work for “Yes”, they soon proved they were worse off without him.
Check out the cover sleeve for “Going for the One”:
http://yescography.tripod.com/gfto.gifGreat tracks, but a total arse of an arty cover. In my day, this album was universally known as “Going for the Bum”
EDIT: If the host site shafts the pic. You’ll have to click on this link:
