Well, Guns N’ Roses’ eternally delayed album has been confirmed as a Best Buy exclusive, so I’d say “sort of”–the image is apparently one of multiple covers, as there are also SKUs for “Cover B” and “Cover C” on Best Buy’s site. (What could the other covers depict? Is Axl going to bite the fan art bullet?) Also, for those of you who are interested, the release date on that page is Nov. 25–the Tuesday before Thanksgiving–so get your pre-orders in now. Maybe they’ll still be honored if the damn thing gets pushed back again… [Best Buy]
Is Axl hiding in that basket?
@Chris N.: WHERE’S IZZY
Huh, the “Cover B” and “Cover C” entries are gone!
@Maura Johnston: I’m with you–where IS Izzy?!?!
He was always the glue of that band. In all of the Axl/Slash drama, he always gets lost in the shuffle. But dude is kind of the epitome of rock n roll. I feel a thesis coming on…
No Slash, no G’n'R. Axl was always my least favorite member of the band (not that I ever particularly liked them anyway, but the point remains).
@Maura Johnston: maybe “WHERE’S IZZY” should’ve been one of the Idolator shirt slogans. stamped all over this cover.
