#ALICE IN CHAINS GREATEST HITS ALBUM ARTWORK SERIES#

The kind that would get OSHA all over you if they were to fall and hurt an employee. Jeff BeckР Р†Р вЂљРІвЂћСћs 1989 release Guitar Shop featured a creative and detailed depiction of an auto shop-styled place for working on guitars. The addition oaf the tornado at the very least gave a much more foreboding look to the end result.

The artwork is inspired by a photograph taken by a certain Arthur Rothstein featuring a similar setting only without a tornado. To say the least it was a contributing factor in making the Great Depression that much worse since it destroyed so much along the way.

ItР Р†Р вЂљРІвЂћСћs named after a series of dust storms that ravaged various regions of America ranging from Illinois through the New England area in the early to mid 1930s. The vivid artwork from Joe BonamassaР Р†Р вЂљРІвЂћСћs 2011 release Dust Bowl features black clouds swallowing almost half the cover with a tornado branching out and playing a game of chicken with a rickety wooden shack. ItР Р†Р вЂљРІвЂћСћs a simple, good looking picture that strives for nothing more than to present cool artworkР Р†Р вЂљР’В¦ and that the band is more sophisticated than us. The Aristocrats resorted to a stylish caricature of the trio in a turn of the 18th century type fashion with formal wear, monocles, and cigarette holders (how come people donР Р†Р вЂљРІвЂћСћt use those anymore?) for their debut self-titled album. You might think IР Р†Р вЂљРІвЂћСћm nuts for choosing this one, but itР Р†Р вЂљРІвЂћСћs just so damn tasteful, I gotta love it. The cover is tasteful, and leaves space for imagination, yet has a good amount of texture without really depicting a specific scene. On top of this being Р Р†Р вЂљРІР‚Сљ in my opinion Р Р†Р вЂљРІР‚Сљ one of MartyР Р†Р вЂљРІвЂћСћs best albums, it also has a cover that really matches the vibe of the music. At any rate, it is one of the most recognizable album covers I have in my collection, and I think Р Р†Р вЂљРІР‚Сљ one of the best. The art is refreshing by todayР Р†Р вЂљРІвЂћСћs standards, just like the music, and features a painting of Vai that actually looks like Vai, and an alien zooming by that actually looks like an alien. Thats a success story! At $4.50 Р Р†Р вЂљРІР‚Сљ $7.50 each thatР Р†Р вЂљРІвЂћСћs between 1 and 3 million dollars. It ended up selling 400,000 + copies (over time). He borrowed equipment from Frank Zappa, and used friends as the other musicians on the record. One thing that made this album so badass, and keeps it that way today, was the fact that Vai recorded and produced it on his own, and a tiny budget (it cost $3,000), and it took him 8 months to record it.
