    orange is usually the color of a shooting target. maybe thats why. thats how they felt with the media spotlight and being one of the most famous, popular,band on the planet. they felt like a target and that was a discreet way of saying it. any thoughts? {maybe a bit of a stretch but hey, sounds good to me}


    i like that better than what i came up with. makes sense.

    VS. was initially named 5 against 1
    then no title
    then VS.

    5 corresponds to an orange ball in the game of pool.
    hence the orange cd. :)

    The backdrop at this time was super media hype / frenzy for pj after Ten.
    So, 5 (band members) vs. 1 (the world?)

    Or it could just be because it looked nice. :P

    Eddie was surfing one day and as he was paddling out he looked up and saw the big hard sun, he wanted something to remind him of that moment, hence the orange cd.

    ouch

  • cut them some slack, it was the early 90's.
    Exactly. At least it was a unique CD label and not one of those hideous red labels that were used on all of the Columbia Records CD releases around that same timeframe.
