Yeah, I thought that was genuine, I'm thinking more of the boss-eyed American hick sitting on a haystack ones.

The album title has always bothered me.
Surely this is the worst album cover of all time...NSFW: Warning it's nasty and some of you may find it offensive (and not in a funny way either).
ZOMG Spoiler! Click here to view!
They must have posed it a bit as well then, unless he managed to shoot himself in the head, then drop the gun, pick up a knife, get the blood spatter over it, and then put it back down on top of the gun.
EDIT: That to morte's album cover of a man who has shot himself.

Well they are wacky Norwegians, one of the band also murdered the guitarist by stabbing him 23 times (after burning a few churches).
Well, Dead left a suicide note saying "Excuse all the blood". Plus Dawn of the Blackhearts is a bootleg, really.

They should have put his hand down his pants and sprayed shaving foam on his trousers while they were at it. Comedic opportunity missed.
This guy: "Look, it's my garage, and if I can't be in the band, you're not rehearsing in it."
Band member: "Awww, daaaaaad..."

Sounds perfectly horrible. Both the running to get a camera, and the stabbing.

IIRC, the guitarist made a necklace with pieces of his skull too.

Euro and Hellhammer claimed to, plus eating a part of his brain.
There really isn't anything to do in Norway is there?

Hee hee. Looks like several of the characters from the comic about a gay lad in the Deep South, 'Stuck Rubber Baby'.
Mrs Mills is terrifying. She's the sort of creature who haunts nightmares, knitting in her rocking chair beyond the door all dead eyed and smiling in the most hideous fashion. You open the door and your eyes fall upon her. Your heart leaps into your mouth and your limbs die on you as you float up into the air towards some unspeakable fate in the dimly lit room, faster and faster towards her awful, shrouded, oppressive, corner and her vacant eyes until just before you reach this monstrous aberation you awake, and stagger to the bathroom for a glass of water dripping cold sweat.
Ugh.
This thread has taken a slightly disturbing turn and I think it all started there...
Ugh, I can't believe that someone would take a picture of a dead guy that had his head shot though >.<
Mind you, I did used to frequent rotten.com back in the college days.
Plus...didn't the Victorians or something take picture of the dead too? And add it to photo albums and things of them? Creeeeeepy

Yes, dead babies. The cameras in those days had such long exposure times it was impossible to photograph a very young child - they just wouldn't hold still. Couple this with a very heavy infant mortality rate, and quite frequently a child would die long before he or she could be photographed, so taking a picture of the corpse was the only option. There were photographers who specialised in taking pics of dead toddlers, arranging their bodies to make it look like they were asleep, painting eyes on their eyelids, etc.
Incidentally, that's why Victorians frequently look grumpy in pictures. It was simply easier to hold a formal pose with no smile for the minute or two it took to expose the frame.
I've never quite understood the photos in the Lovelife sleeve. At least in Split they were vaguely arty pictures of groups of four objects.
Still, at least I know what CD is going in my car tomorrow...

I remember watching 'The Others' with Nicole Kidman in it and seeing that part of the film with it in.
Here's one from the music department at my old college, they've had a few crackers over the years but that's the only picture I can find

Also, De Mysteriis is a worse cover, in my opinion...
Ooo, how grim!

This is the awesomest album cover I ever owned.
Even as a nine-year old child, I marvelled at how they changed certain things on this cover just enough so they wouldn't get their arses sued off.

I have the album as well, twas my favourite as a nipper.
That Beatles album cover was of course quickly withdrawn, a more family-friendly shot of the band slapped over the top of it before returning the record to store. But! The new cover was just a huge sticker, so everyone could carefully peel off the 'new' cover to see the old one. Trying to peel off a price sticker on a DVD case in one go without leaving any annoying sticky residue is a tough enough task - how many people managed to do so with an entire 12" by 12" sticker not designed to be removed, I'm not sure.
Even now you've got to wonder what the hell they were thinking.
I'm looking at George who's strangely pushing his jaw forward while smiling.
is that fuck a bad album cover, the background itself is more interesting than most pictures theese days and have you seen another photo with the beatles with the meat visible between their legs?

Is the acid kicking in yet? Should I skin up again while I wait?
Just for a second there I thought I was being clever spotting the homosexual theme in Ruysan's post.

Try to keep that gurn under control, George. Lennon looks like Partridge when he's colliding with the airbag in slow motion in the second (third!) series.
Still not an album,and yet... so bad.

I'd go to church more often if God's Power were channelled through karate vicars. That would be pretty awesome. Would mean the CoE would finally stand a chance against those pesky Jehovah's Witnesses with their kung-fu skills.

I went to school with Gary Finbow, proud recipient of the "Can't... Maintain... Gender!" award for the shadow fighter comptetion in Amiga Power. He used to trace Manga, make it naked and sell it to the horny geeks in my school.
Little claim to fame that.
