I heard Storm Thirgeson give a lecture about his covers, he was pretty whacked out at the time, a very strange chap! The obelisk I had always envisaged in Presence was explained as just a black void, thus nothing was there, they were holes cut into the photos, so it was all a lame pun. Still a crappy cover I agree. I love Hoses Of The Holy though.
The Blind Faith cover came from a different time, when our national bogeyman was not that every other person was deviant. Viewed through today's eyes it is seen as inappropriate. I read an interview with the model last year, she is proud of it still.
I hated the original cartoon Appetite For Destruction cover, really inappropriate, but then metal covers can be pretty awful and mysogenistic.
