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.

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

Jim Page producing
Bernie Worrell on keys
John Frusicante on guitar
Robert Randolph on steel
Tina Turner shakin' down the eye candy

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)

Figured out my security pick. Still owe one.

Spoiler:


OJ Simpson

He used to play football. I'm sure he can tackle away the fans that are a bit too enthusiast. And if somebody starts stalking, or things get too tough any other way, he can kill them and get away with it.

I have a moment to make one catch up pick now.

This security pick is adding a lot of fun. I am extremley glad we have this classification
as I can now choose the greatest of all time as my security pick.

Spoiler:
Muhammad Ali





There are so many great pics of Ali and I am thinking this may be one of the great
sports shots you can see on the walls of the Caesars Palace poker room.



Click this pic and resize large to understand why it is one of the greatest sports photos ever taken:

ok i'm just going to go hope thats ok.

for my security:

Spoiler:

charles "charlie" beckwith


Spoiler:
beckwith was a special operations veteran from vietnam who went and trained with the elite SAS in england. he came back and was such a badass he convinced the joint chiefs of staff to create a US version of the SAS which you all know as delta force.
this guy personally selected the first generation of delta operators and came up with the training and selection process that is still used to this day.
delta force operators are widely regarded as among the most elite soldiers in the world, and are experts in everything from hand to hand combat, offensive and defensive driving, demolitions and covert and overt warfare.
when generals and heads of state travel anywhere its delta force operators who provide security. who better to protect my rag tag band of artists then the guy who taught them all.

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.
