This the cover of the Album "Appetite for Destruction" by the band Guns n Roses released in 1987. The original cover art for the album was deemed too explicit for mainstream CD shops to stock, so the band went with an idea based around a tattoo that a friend had designed. The image depicts skulls with standout features of the band members, such as the very bottom skull is clearly Slash as he is famous for wearing a top hat on stage. These skulls are decorating a standard cross, this religous imagery fits in with the bands masochistic superior attitude that they became infamous for later on. The background is black, which is a common colour to use for hard rock album cover, and the album name and band name are written on a red banner that is also commonly used to show glamour or class.
