SLASH’S SOLO ALBUM ART: FIVE MINUTES OF WORK, A LIFETIME OF REGRET

 Monday, February 1st, 2010 at 3:30pm by

I’m sorry to write about what a giant disappointment Slash has become twice in one day, but come the fuck on.

Anyone remember CMC, that label that tried to re-launch hair metal in the mid-90s? The quality of their album art was generally on par with the quality of Slash’s new solo album cover. When Vince heard the guitarist’s awful remake of “Paradise City,” he said “It’s not just that Slash is chasing trends – it sounds like he’s chasing trends from a decade ago.” Ditto here. This album cover should have great appeal to anyone who’s ever wanted to be a contestant on Rock of Love.

    I know the bones are supposed to look like guitars, but all I can see is testicles.

    Is that weird?

            I’ve noticed this as well! Works really good if you have a laptop with a standard mouse plugged in, and you use both left clicks.

            I fully expect some one-man black metal project to make full use of this discovery.

    Meh, I actually don’t mind it. Has a nice graffiti vibe to it. Feels like Slash. Definitely seen worse.

    this album art is tailor-made for an affliction shirt

    • cougar party

      Looks more Ed Hardy to me.

        I saw some guy at a bar wearing an Ed Hardy shirt with Ed Hardy pants. Both were Bedazzled, and the pants said “ED HARDY” in big letters across the ass.

        It’s nice that douchebags have found a simple way to advertise just how much of a douchebag they are.

          They gotta have something now that they’ve discontinued the Hummer.

      Slash goes steampunk?

    metalsucks is following trends by hating on slash. it’s become the cool thing to do. hating on this album cover is just complete proof of it. there is no reason to hate this album art. it’s perfectly fine. it looks like classic gnr album art, and it looks very similar to the slash’s snakepit album covers. metalsucks is clearly drinking the slash flavored haterade.

      Did you see the video from the Grammys? That alone is enough to earn Slash the entire hatred of the internet.

      Throw in the fact that he’s working with Rihanna and Fergie, and well, you get the idea.

  • Kuranes

    What did you expect? Another cover by HR Giger? This doesn’t look too far off Slash’s first solo album cover.

    Time to give it up Mr. Saul Hudson.

  • Derek

    THat cover is gay just like his music lately

        It’s ok. I love perpetuating the stereotypical angered AoR Rock/Glam Rock/Hair Metal fan who is just mad because nobody worships Axl Rose anymore, may be besides T-Boner from Blabbermouth.net or Mr. “I Am Hoped Up On Valium” RiotAct666. Besides throwing in the Ed Hardy-worshipping guido tuff guy act in there is priceless.

        Best of both worlds.

    Obvious troll. if you decide to reply and keep this little charade up, I’ll embarrass you.

  • Fufkin

    Since when was a guitarist in a top hat and leather trousers anything to do with being ‘on trend’?
    It’s Slash.

  • Demon

    Ok what is wrong with the album cover and what is wrong with the album. I mean his music sounds better than 95 percent of music today. I mean come on he has more hits on one album than some artists has on there whole discography. And another thing why the hell are you bashing the album artwork? I love it personally. I mean ya it’s pretty flashy but he deserves it after his great career.
