    Tool 10,000 Days with the 3D glasses for all the imagery.

    KISS Destroyer with the members of KISS king the 'KISS-destroys-4-you' thing was cool.

    Alice in Chains Dirt was pretty awesome.

    Liked the Amorica album cover better when it was the cover of a Hustler Magazine...July 1976, I believe.
    All the world will be your enemy, Prince with a thousand enemies, and whenever they catch you, they will kill you. But first they must catch you, digger, listener, runner, prince with the swift warning. Be cunning and full of tricks and your people shall never be destroyed.
