Post by: DuffRock on January 25, 2007, 11:22:52 AM have a nice trip,but this topic is off "Guns N' Roses - Everything GN'R related", this is GN'R related i wonder if the CD artwork will use some classical artwork in its design, i think the artwork could end up being quite tacky and if they used something classical that would be easy to avoid Title: Re: Going to Rome and gonna checkout "school of athens"!

Post by: Sober_times on January 25, 2007, 04:18:57 PM Thats cool man, you should definetly take some pictures!! I've been to Rome once, but didnt get a chance to check that out even though i despertly wanted to. Just couldn't find the time. It was a trying trip. Being in the states I don't know when i'll make it back to Europe but hopefully within the next couple years. I really enjoyed my trip to europe. Unfortunitly I spent a little too much time in England, I didnt get to spend as much time in other parts Europe. Though London was quite fun. ?:smoking:

But it's gonna be difficult to get a photo of you with it, since I believe it's painted on the ceiling. Can't remember it excactly though... Have a nice trip - Rome is beautiful : ok: Title: Re: Going to Rome and gonna checkout "school of athens"!
