Alternate Chinese Democracy Coverart

On 6/30/2008, Mack Arillo uploaded this image to Amazon.com. Did he inspire the actual coverart for Chinese Democracy or is there more to this story?



I actually prefer Mack's coverart above to the real coverart below.

The whole point of the "bike artwork" is that it's so understated.

The "Guns N' Roses" graffiti represents a break from the over-the-top bombast of the original band's image.

Unfortunately, Universal Records / BEST BUY / The Powers that Be, felt the need to throw the band's name on the cover THREE TIMES!

Not only does it clutter the spacwe, but it defeats the whole purpose of the image.
