That is cool.  Was this one of the rumored 'multiple' covers?

ppbebe the whole series of hands by Shi Lifeng is called "Controlling"  ;)

Axl's taste in art amazes me  :yes: 8) :love: :smoking:

Don't know much about Chinese contemporary art, but that guy's art really stands out... Chinese authorities must be blind  :hihi: if they didn't ban his works yet   :confused: Or their censorship is as stupid as our's during comunist era  :hihi:  : ok:

And the gesture shown on the picture is known for ages as "IRONIAM INFLIGO" - in Latin - and means scorn & scoffing at sth

Gives amazing combination with the tittle "Chinese Democracy"!  :smoking: Great job Axl!  8) That would be a killer cover art for re-edittion  : ok:

check out for instance:
 John Bulwer, Chirologia or the naturall language of the hand composed of the speaking motions and discoursing gestures thereof: whereunto is added Chironomia or the art of manuall rhetoricke, London 1644.

yet you are much knowledgeable about art than me.  :)

because of its having people in its palm, I thought it could be Buddha's hand making a mudra thing.

Thanks for posting it here. The bicycle cover is great, but this one is even better. I'd love to have this cover on a vinyl copy.
I hope they re-release it.
