I have no idea who it is, but i think it’s multiple pictures of the same person shot in different time periods. the one with the gray hair is now, and this one here looks like it’s on Black and White. I have no clue who it could possibly be though.

If it has anything to do with hair it isn’t Axl, he doesn’t have any that isn’t stitched to his head. 2oth Anniversary of Appetite, I doubt it, that would be a VH-1 special of where are they now. (Plus Slash, Duff and Matt are now soooo much better off. I would say the new album from (Cameltoe) with the all-star line up of Lead Man Pete D, base player Lohan, Lead guitar Hilton and up and cummer on the drums little Amy White(nose)house.

Long Live GnR | 7/24/2007, 10:58 pm EST

Yesterday’s photo looked like the top of Matt Sorum’s hair from a GnR cover in the 90s (Izzy’s black hair would be to the right). And today’s pic looks like Duff’s glove from the same cover. Perhaps a different shot from that photo shoot. Hmmm.

One of the words ends with an “S” and it is probably not smashing pumpkins because that is in the text above the “Rolling Stone” label. My guess is The Cars…Not sure where the glove fits in there though.

Cmon Rolling Stone, time for that Ryan Adams cover. How many great albums does he have to put out before you give him what he deserves?

kirk | 7/24/2007, 11:45 pm EST

It is GNR circa 88. It is from an early poster shot. The first pic is Steven’s hair & the edge of Izzy’s hat. I would expect that RS is doing a tribute the one of the greatest albums ever, Appetite For Destruction.

if rolling stone has any integrity they’d put the white stripes on a cover real soon.

I agree with Tim, could be a combination of classic GN’R. The glove certainly hints at Duff. Reminds me also of too fast for love.But knowing how RS is basically a Bob Dylan propaganda mag,i guess it could be related to him also. I didnt see the first clue yet though.

Jann Wenner. He’s sick & tired of playing second fiddle to everyone else. When you buy this copy it will have a cd w/ subliminal messages. At a pre-determined moment we will all run to an open window and scream out, “Network” style, “I’ve spent 40 years looking at other people on this cover, and I’m not going to take it anymore!” Madness and confusion will reign as we hurl ourselves, Russian Revolution style, into the streets. Even the artists will be forced to bow as Wenner finally has himself elected rock president for life.

Then again, that might really be Slash after all…

RockGod | 7/25/2007, 10:29 am EST

If RollingStone had any fuckin brains and respect for the fans, they would be putting the recent incarnation of GnR on the front cover, not this. I do respect and expect RS to finally acknowledge a real band for the first time in a long time and it is the 20th Anniversary of Appetite for Destruction, but if this is going to be a big write up about the past with only present mentioning of Axl, Fink, Stinson, Bumblefoot, Fortus, and Ferrer/Mantia in the form of a Chinese Democracy diss or insult, I will personally stop reading RollingStone out of respect for the band.

Cynical? Its uneducated posts like this that create Cynical. There is no need to drop the name, you make it sound like Axl has hired a bunch of “session” players which is far from true, here’s the facts:

Robin Fink: Former lead guitarist for Nine Inch Nails
Tommy Stinson: Former bass player for The Replacements
Brain Mantia: Former drummer for Primus
Richard Fortus: Has played on Christina Algulara’s albums
Bumblefoot: a well known and respected virtuso guitarist in the New York underground scene

If anything Velvet Revolver should stop playing Guns N Roses cover songs at their concerts, that is the real disgrace.

All,

It has been confirmed by someone on the GN’R boards who has the issue in question that this is the old lineup of GN’R as a commeration of Appetite turning 20.

Godzilla43,

Good post, but with regards to Richard Fortus, don’t forget he played with the Psychedelic Furs, Love Spit Love and a good NYC band called Honky Toast. Let’s not forget Tommy Stinson’s brilliant solo album that was hailed in the pages of this very magazine. An extremely talented bunch of musicians and as anyone that has seen them over the past couple of years can testify, they are a true band. They have excellent chemistry.

That is part of Duff from Guns N’ Roses. The band is on the cover for the 20 year anniversary of Appetite. Hopefully in the multi page article commemorating the album they will mention the mystery of Chinese Democracy and keep some interest because the album is soon. What?
