Re: Chinese Democracy Alternative Album Artwork discovered?
this was posted on HereTodayGoneToHell :
in this article about Chinese Democracy being banned in China: http://online.wsj.com/article/SB1227282 … s_page_one
says this:
"Some Chinese artists, loath to be branded as democracy campaigners, declined valuable offers to help illustrate the album. "I listened to their music when I was little," says Beijing visual artist Chen Zhuo . He was "very glad" when GN'R asked to buy rights to use his picture of Tiananmen Square rendered as an amusement park -- with Mao Zedong's head near a roller coaster. Then, Mr. Chen looked at lyrics of the album's title song and, after consulting with his lawyer and partner, declined the band's $18,000 offer. "We have to take political risks into account as artists in China," says the 30-year-old."
the poster did some research on the artist in question and he appears to be a digital artist who works along side another guy called Huang Keyi.
this is the pic that's described on the article:
this is how it would look like:
this could be false because it is pure speculation of the poster but it is cool and could be truth....
this is the original thread:

Re: Chinese Democracy Alternative Album Artwork discovered?

"What does it mean?
Well of course, Axl Rose is referencing the Steve Goodman folk song, City of New Orleans."
Good morning, America, how are you
Don't you know me, I'm your native son
I'm the train they call The City of New Orleans
I'll be gone five hundred miles when the day is done
"In this writer's opinion, the album art above is a response to the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.
What do you think?"

I think the color red was associated with the chinese revolution but I could be mistaken.
