Round 12
Artist

Robert Williams

I want something controversial. Something in your face. Something that gets everybody talking.

And because it's Rock n Roll with some blues thrown in, I want something cartoonish.

Quote:

The ‘Appetite for Destruction’ album cover is one of the most recognizable pieces of album art in rock history, but the iconic ‘skulls’ graphic wasn’t the album’s original cover art.

Based on the Robert Williams painting ‘Appetite for Destruction,’ the Guns N’ Roses original album cover depicted a robotic sex offender about to be destroyed by a metal avenger. Due to the controversial nature of the art, the band and Geffen Records chose to include the original art inside the album’s booklet after various music retailers refused to stock the monumental record.

If you don't want to see a pic of the above description, do not click the spoiler.

He also painted this:

I know I'm backed up on write-ups. I figure to catch up in a day or two, but in the interest of expedience, I'll leave my pick before I go tonight to play some butt-swinging, carniverous rock and roll music.

My artist? No hesitation...

Mr. Natural, hissownself

R. Crumb

Some of his previous album artwork

And the premier cover of the greatest rock and roll magaine of all time

So I have
James Jamerson playing bass
Charlie Watts on drums
Otis Redding and
Amy Winehouse singing
Jim Page producing
Bernie Worrell on keys
John Frusicante on guitar
Robert Randolph on steel
Tina Turner shakin' down the eye candy
John Belushi supplying...everything
R. Crumb drawing up a storm

Yeah.

Hey guys posting from my phone... Sorry for not being around had to head up to San Fran on spur of moment so wasn't able to check in. Ill have Internet access later tonight so can make some picks if that's warranted. Never got a pm so dunno if I've been skipped or what so if someone can let me know if and when and how many picks I should make that would be cool.

Round 12
Lawyer

William Jefferson Clinton III esq. aka Slick Willie

Okay I don't know of any rock n roll lawyers but I figure this guy might have some clout. He likely has ties to the justice department and could gets lots of stuff simply disappear.

Plus I'm pretty sure I can get him on the cheap. Since Hilary quit her job he's just itching to get out of the house. If I let him jam with band a little during rehearsal and then hang out with the groupies I'm pretty sure he'll be happy.

so far:
George Harrison (lead strings)
Buddy Holly (songwriter)
Gene Krupa (drums)
Elton John (keyboards)
Jack Bruce (bass)
Paul Simon (wild card)
Brian Wilson (male vocalist)
Cass Elliot (female vocalist)
Bruce Berry (roadie)
Joni Mitchell (artist)
David Crosby (hook-up)
Bill Clinton (lawyer)

Surprised me too, and since I'm not in this draft, no one else would have taken Dusty.

Round 13

Security

Chicks love Jim Morrison and we're going to need the best of the best to keep him safe. He's not the only problem though so there's going to be trouble coming from every direction. I'm going to need someone really good, someone who can beat Chuck Norris.

Artist:

Peter Blume

I want this buy because he's pretty psychedelic and he's my favorite artist, hands down. It's a shame he didn't do any album art, so I'm hiring him as my album artist to see what he can pull off:

Definitely search for more of his art. It's all highly thought-provoking and interesting.

my security guy could seriously ruin all of the other security picks so far.
he's one of the most bad-ass mofo's out there so ya'll should seriously just watch yourselves and make sure no one in your band pisses off anyone in mine.
