The No.1 website for musicians
NSFW alert! The latest in our continuing series of cover art badness
The MusicRadar Team, Fri 19 Jun 2009, 12:30 pm BST
Over the past few weeks, MusicRadar has seared eyeballs across the globe by exposing the worst album cover art in the worlds of heavy metal, hip-hop and those involving serious misuses of the noble art of drawing stuff.
Now we ramp it up a notch further by taking a peek at the bold and not-so-beautiful.
Yup, we're talkin' nudity. And lots of it.
Through the decades, the naked body has graced a multitude of album covers, and in many cases, the results have been gloriorious, wondrous sights to behold.
These ones, however, are anything but - or should we say 'butt'? No. No, we shouldn't.
No, these egregious images are horrid, mystifying and just plain stupid, the likes of which would make even Michelangelo (an unabashed rooter of all things nekkid) throw down his paintbrush and run for the hills.
Not that we should have to mention this, but the following non-objets d'art are definitely NSFW. That's N!S!F!W! So grab your laptop, head for the nearest broom closet and take it all in... if you dare. Us? We're off for a lie-down.
*cough*Scorpions*cough*
I don't know, danmar. I think it's supposed to be pubic hair. Otherwise, that's a seriously weird pantsuit or pair of panties. Did she have an accident in her pants?
Cover 4: That is NOT her public hair as you seem to believe. It's the continuation of the dark colour from below. If you look carefully you can see the outline of either a swimsuit or panties. So her legs are on the right way.
Dwarves - blood guts and pussy doesnt seem very nice :S
"Notso White geared up for her scene with Kinky, Horny, Slappy, Stashful, Humpy, Queasy and Cock." LOL!!!
I don't know about you guys but getting greeted every time I visit this fine site with a Beatle Schlong isn't exactly conducive to my normal browsing routine.
I, for one, think this is great, and insanely funny. It's all in good fun, right? And besides, these artists posed for or approved these album covers, so surely they wanted the world to see them. Rightly or wrongly. Rock on!
Not at all. The content of that thread was generally explicit, rather than implicit, in its language.
You'll also note that MusicRadar swirls have been employed to cover some of the more 'sensitive' material ;). They haven't failed us yet!
I quote your Forum Moderator: "Too graphic in places. This is a site for music makers, and we want people of all ages to be able to enjoy the forum without taking offense.
This is not a private gentleman's club - it is a public forum. Please bear this in mind. Keep it clean or we'll close the thread."
Pot/Kettle ?
