Will this be the first "cover" of an album cover?

Oh, look...clarathecarrot just hacked conmee's account.

It's obvious by the font that The Commodores are a black band, yes I pulled the race card out for this one. The soulful overtones of The Commodores design is inherently jive-centric. Van Halen's cover on the other hand was cropped by a whiteboy and the use of grayscale for the locomotive is WHITEY's©®™ subliminal nod to a color blind world, although the DOUBLE-ON-TUNDRA©®™ also raises the SPECTRE©®™ of a world not in grayscale, but in BLACK AND WHITE©®™ which in itself is also a nod to Michael Jackson.

That is all.

the Van Halen Locomotive is...........BIGGER........than the phallic shaped engine on the Commodores cover, and that is how it should be

Or, you had a nightmare, but thank god you woke up ...

[VHscraps]

Quaint and British ...

Does the album cover look familiar?

How do you know for sure someone in the Commodores doesn't have a time machine...?

Simple. If the Commodores guy had a time machine, he would have gone back and moved Lionel Richie to the front of the band much earlier, so they could have actually made some money before 1977.

How do you know for sure someone in the Commodores doesn't have a time machine, saw the new VH cover, went back in time & re-created theirs to resemble it? Then we get that whole time-loop-continuum-if I kill my grandpa when he's a kid how could I be ever born to kill him therefore does he die-type problem.

For some reason I'm craving fried chicken & scrambled eggs now. But which will the waitress bring out first?

This is excellent!

That's a funny story, actually. After the 2007 tour there was just nothing new to talk about in the VH world. I had my second kid and "life" stuff was keeping me busy. I would check in here every 4-5 months and would be shocked to still see my name as a main mod. I didn't ask to be de-modded, but someone finally realized that I just wasn't ever here and took me down. I didn't mind or take it personally at all. Totally understood.

[chefcraig]

Craig, I understand this. I was a Main mod for, like, 6 years.

Believe me, I can completely sympathize and understand why you stopped being one.

Sorry if this sounds like im irritated. I'm still too high on this new song to be upset. But I do hate the megathreads. Maybe this should be moved to Feedback now...

Not at all, friend. You see, the "megathreads" occur when you have folks posting every singular thought that happens to pop into their heads continuously throughout the day. (I'm not saying that is the case here, as your thread is indeed a thoughtful one, which could provoke some particularly refreshing insight and discussion.) So rather than closing and dumping these things, they tend to be merged into already existing threads. This is done as an attempt to keep the Main section less cluttered and readily accessible for breaking news, which for a while there came raining down in buckets.

Wasn't 'OU8acancer-aidsinfectedcock2' a cover of "Meet The Beatles"... one that Van Halen had previously covered on the inner sleeve of the Fair Warning album?
