the melvins! oh wait, its rolling stone…

Jerry Garcia

Robert Smith

Smashing Pumpkins?

Smashing Pumpkins perhaps?

I’m guessing Bob Dylan. Second guess would be Paul McCartney. It’d be funny if it was Hilary Clinton.

Phil Spector

Pedro Almodóvar

Christopher Walken and the cast of Hairspray?

Yup – the Hairspray cast

Eddie Van Halen

or not…

jay leno

its not smashing pumpkins
billy doesnt have any hair

I’d laugh if it turned out that hair was a wig.

wolfmother

Robert Smith of the Cure

Robert Smith no contest

Mos Def Dylan

or Jann Wenner.

It’s THE WHITE STRIPES…

The Smashing Pumpkins will be on the next cover. The Pumpkins have the bestselling album in the world, a hit single, the best selling rock album in America, the most downloaded album, the most amazing tour, a musical legacy second to none.

LONG LIVE THE PUMPKINS!

Phil Spector

Gary Glitter

velvet revolver-check out the hair bandana with skulls that must be on the bald guitar dude next to duff

Robert Smith’s hair is still black… it isn’t him…

I’ll bet it’s a newly-reunited group with something huge to announce…

Van Halen?

Jon Bon Jovi?

Jon Bon Jovi?

Jon Bon Jovi?

dylan?

John Fogerty

Beastie Boys

Kid Rock wearing a wig

axl and slash. 20 years of AFD

Ryan is right, it’s Garcia.

That’s either Matt Groenig promoting the new Simpsons movie or Homer Simpson gone Hollywood wearing a wig.

Dylan

p. diddy

That’s the # 1 all time top live performance artist Taylor Hicks!

dylan and the white stripes

k fed

Phil Spector

cate blanchett as dylan?

eminem and dr dre

dammit!I tihk its Phil Spector,and thats NOT agood thng.I wanted the Smashing Pumpkins sooooo Badly,but Inver get who I want on th ecover!No smashing Pumpkins.no NIN.BTW I KNOW ITS NOT THE SMASHING PUMPKINS OFR ONE GOOD REASON,AND IT DOESNT HAVE TO DO WITH THE HAIR:theres a haeadline ablove that says “smashing”in grey.If it were the SP,then there woudnt be a headile on YOP of the magazine,which is used name som OTHER stories in the mag.Im gld theres at lest a sort of The smashing pumps,though its not the headline.

I think it’s Smashing Pumpkins. Hint: Don’t look at the hair, but the text above the Rollingstone logo.

“Zimmermann | 7/23/2007, 7:48 pm EST

Mos Def Dylan”

That’s awesome dude…I laughed my blazed ass off.

No it’s gotta be Dylan in some incarnation. The Smashing Pumpkins thing is way too obvious. Plus look at that nest. I’ll wager that one chick playing him in that biopic flick.

Of course!!! ZZ Top

All The Bob Dylan people (Cate Blanchett, richard Gere, Heath Ledger, Chrisitian Bale) and that unimaginative white background and Red letters.

All The Bob Dylan people (Cate Blanchett, richard Gere, Heath Ledger, Chrisitian Bale) and that unimaginative white background and Red logo.

Looks like Bob Dylan, maybe Paul McCartney. It’d be funny if it was Hilary Rotten Clinton though.

Phil Spector

Phil Spector

Phil Spector

Robert Smith Of The Cure……

Hopefully it’s Claudio Sanchez.

Jon Bon Jovi

Some dude in Moyley Crue!

Some dude in Motley crue! Don’t do that though.

This is easy:

That’s the pubic hair of Britney Spears in the 1st ever uncensored Rolling Stone cover page. You see, Britney is standing on her head upside down with her legs in the air (which you don’t see yet) and her snatch exposed. It’s quite obvious by the picture that Britney doesn’t like to shave her private parts.

Lou Reed

It kinda looks like thier are two people in the picture. The other is off to the side.

Bob Geldof

Well shit! I was hoping to see a John Frusciante cover and story,but no such luck!! I know he was on the guitar heros cover but he had to share,and the story was too puny.

Could it be John Fogerty? He will have a new album out in September titled “Revival.”

Could it be John Fogerty? He will have a new album out in September titled “Revival.”

a chunk of hair suspended in another artist’s hands. very tricky rs but i figured it all out

looks like Spector huh?

or maybe Art Garfunkel

RATM….De La Rocha cut the dreads, and they’re touring again.

thank you for finally putting george clinton on the cover of rolling stone, he is a great artist who deserves 100% attention, give us more, like a semi-annual george clinton themed rolling stone

That’s none other than former Blood, Sweat, & Tears frontman Al Kooper aged 40 years.

is that patty smith, damn…holy jesus her cover of “gimme shelter” is the most disappointing thing ive heard since i learned of jimi hendrix’s death

is that Al Gore, he really let himself go since the world shrugged at Live Earth

Nels Cline of wilco, that’s Jeff beside him.

Bob Geldof.
Or his evil twin, Phil Spector.
Or HIS evil twin, Cate Blanchett.
Or HIS evil twin, Christopher Walken.

Alaska is right.

I’ve got it from an unimpeachable source that it’s Velvet Revolver.

Maybe…The Police?

the flamin lips?

the flamin lips?

David Lee Roth
The Whole Pic will be Van Halen

PHIL SPECTOR!

harrison ford, shia lebeauf, and spielboig

Harrison Ford

keith richards

Let me guess… someone lame.

Let me guess… someone lame.

smashing pumpkins

Thought provoking idea. I find myself going around in circles. Is it Phil Specter? Is it the Smashing Pumpikins? But the scull in the right corner would suggest a doo rag or hat. Still can’t quite put my finger on it. My guess… Velvet Revolver.

Duff Mc Kagan of the Guns N’ Roses
It will be 20 years anniversary of Appetite for Destruction, damn it!

obviously it’s Billy Corgan in a toupee, so obvious…

dave matthews’ cat in heat. It’s makes even better music than it’s boss..

It´s Britney Spears
duh…

Bert of Sesame Street

Bert of Sesame Street

It’s so very obviously Bob Geldof.

Phil Spector (before the makeover)?

Steven Adler & Izzy Stradlin

As soon as I seen I immedeiately thought Bob Geldoff but it might be Bob Dylan. The guy on the right I think is Slash

it should be mark kozelek from red house painters/sun kil moon, neil young, britt daniel from spoon, or someone else worthy, but of course it’s not.

crowded house????

Bob Marley?

Some older rock star. God Forbid they were under 40 years old.

Bob Dylan.

bob dylan and his son

Bon Jovi and Sambora

That’s easy.

It’s Jesus Christ and RS has the exclusive 1st interview on His return to earth.

That’s the hair of Hillary Clinton standing along side Obama and whoever the other Democratic front runners are.

It MUST be Keith Richards. It’s been so long. Thanks Rolling Stone!

Eddie VAN HALEN and DAVE LEE ROTH , the return of the KINGS

Van Halen , please !!!

just put on the white stripes they deserve one

Phil Spector and his lawyer.

Hoping it might be THE MIGHTY VAN HALEN(ROTH ERA ONLY),but considering that it’s rolling stone it will more than likely be some lame fookin band

no doubt in my mind.RS sux more EVERY year!

HAIRY MAN ASS!

Satan! In Person! Or Dave Matthews’ fluffy cat!

Keith Richards

Simon and Garfunkle? Are they still around?

Some of you guys are right,it will be someone lame! There hasn’t been a decent cover story for quite awhile.

The hair belongs to the Police’s own Stewart Copeland.

QUEEN

bob dylan

it’s jerry garcia and jimi hendrix

Bob Dylan and Jakob Dylan

it’s the traveling wilburys.

It seems like Steven Adler and Slash and after all this discussion of the 20th anniversary of AFD this seems highly likely…though i could be wrong

its Bea Arthur, I love that bitch!!

Also why does Rolling Stone keep using the cliche white background with red lettering. Even though it looks cool at least 90% of the covers each year have this and its now become expected and dull.

That hair belongs to the corpse of Jerry Garcia. They dug him up and propped his corpse on a chair for the photo.

guns n roses

GnR

I’ve been reading all of these, and Velvet Revolver did just come out with a new album, so it could very well be the mentioned members of that band.

I’m going to go with Velvet Revolver.

smashing pumpkins? it says smashing above the STO

look closer, that black thing on the right side is a hat with skulls on it. my guess it belongs to slash, so it’s either velvet revolver or a GNR throwback. and it’s not the pumpkins; when is the cover story ever listed at the top like that? it’s usually down at the bottom or middle somewhere…

crowded house

My guess is Nickleback, but then again, heard they did a photo shot here in Mpls yesterday before the concert.

it looks like Phil Spector…but i think that’s a weird choice for a cover right now. new headline “RS glorifies convicted murderer”

but i’d rather have Phil on the cover than velvet revolver or guns n roses…i hate them both so much

It’s not Dylan. I just saw him in concert and his hair’s not THAT gray. It could be Smashing Pumpkins… Look above the Rolling Stone Logo. Could be Velvet Revolver too, they’re so hot right now.
Scot Weiland is the hottest MoFo out there!!!

I’m guessing whomever’s the lame-ass flavor of the month will grace the RS cover.

Don Imus ?

diamond dave and eddie van halen ihope!

diamond dave and eddie van halen ihope!

All I have to say, is that the White Stripes’ Icky Thump = ICKY DUMP!

There!

Oh, and yeah, I’d be nice if Billy would finally grow his hair back… I’m not too happy about the new pop-metal album, but I can live with it… I still love the SP… and yeah, they’ll be on the next cover…

Edward Van Halen and DIAMOND DAVID LEE ROTH.

Edward Van Halen and DIAMOND DAVID LEE ROTH.

it looks suspiciously like the cover with the police on it, minus the smashing pumpkins bit at the top

The Boss and Little Stevie

The Boss

JERRY GARCIA YOU STUPID, STUPID PEOPLE…..

Eddie and Dave , Eddie and Dave…

Eddie and Dave , Eddie and Dave…

Eddie and Dave , Eddie and Dave…

Eddie and Dave , Eddie and Dave…

Velvet Revolver isn’t a bad guess, but no band member has grey hair like that.

And people need to get off the Pumpkins. I like them just as much as the next person, but it’s too late to put them on the cover. Their album has already been released. RS is only gonna cover a story that’s newsworthy.

The best guess I’ve seen so far is a cover with all the actors from the new Dylan biopic being released this fall.

That’s Edge’s new hair implants instead of his trademark wool stevedore’s cap. It’s U2, bitches!!!!

Van Halen is a bad guess. They’re too fickle to put on the cover. Who knows if they’ll ever reunite? They change their story every two weeks.

Bea Arthur (Maude)

VAN HALEN REUNION !!!

It’s probably Bob Dylan since Rolling Stone is always writing about him. Seriously.

The Police.

Led Zep

Bon Jovi!

Young M.C.

phil spector

it is smashing pumpkins is obvious

Geezer Butler (hair) and Tony Iommi (on the right)…. It’s Heaven and Hell!!!

Phil Spector…. or maybe pete doherty

That’s Osama Bin Laden without the turban. Exclusive interview.

wayne coyne

zach de la rocha of the rage!!!!

That’s someone with gray hair. Okay, where’s my prize?

That’s Lindsay Lohan’s bush! That scanky coke whore

some old man with somebody else.. posibly a bandmate

wait, it’s definatley smasing pumpkins cause you can see a part of ’smashing’on it!

still in 40th anniversary mode, right? should be jann.

Guns & Roses 20th Anniversary

It better not be the Smashing Pumpkins. LAME!!!

Rage Against the Machine without a doubt

GNR->Appetite For Destruction->20th anniversary
It isn’t gray hair it is blonde…and I think it’s Steven Adlers hair and the guy next to him is Izzy.

or Slash…

Grandpa?

Way too easy rolling stone! What do i win? It’s Robert Smith!

The various Dylans from that movie.

THE SPICE GIRLS!!
=]

Velvet Revolver without a doubt.

THE SPICE GIRLS!!
=]

Velvet Revolver without a doubt.

Velvet Revolver without a doubt.

Stil the 40th anniversary mode? Jerry Garcia or Jann.

roger waters

It’s Elvis! He’s alive!

Roth and Van Halen!

I’m sticking with my 1st guess -
Keith Richards.

the word on the top says smashing although i dont think its the pumpkins their supposed to have a big article on kid rock but his hair doesnt look like that the second guy pictured it looks like a a bunch of hair and a black hat so im saying thats slash and the blonde is axl

Sir Jimmy Page Sir Jeff Beck and The Yardbird.

its gnr isnt it their 20 year anniverary for appetite this year i think that came out in 87 dont remember exactly i was in diapers

bon jovi! sure

Phil Spector

Phil Spector

Phil Spector

It’s Phil but it should have been Marge Simpson!

The Cure!

pat benatar

Patti Smith

I’ve narrowed it down to either:

Oprah
Lyle Lovett
or Don Immus

But my first instinct was Bob Dylan.

Since it says Smashing at the top I’m guessing the Pumpkins

dude….it has to be to be steve lukather from “TOTO”….rolling stone just love that band!!

guns n roses

The hair: Phill Spector
The tittle: Smashing Pumpkins

Total: Smashing Spectors

Guns N’ Roses 20th Anniversary!!

That is Slash’s top hat..
