treeduck Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 So the scenario is no Hugh Syme. Any ideas for good replacement? Who would you choose to take over. Is the a favorite album cover designer/artist out there that you like? Does it matter? maybe just get anybody to do it? Maybe a local pal of the band? Any thoughts?

Ancient Ways Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 Andrew MacNaughton or Carrie seem like logical choices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Test4VitalSigns Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 Alex Grey would be a cool and interesting choice. He did the last couple of Tool albums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
circumstantial tree Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 I'd say whoever did Geddy's "My Favorite Headache" artwork. I liked it pretty well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RUSHHEAD666 Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 That is funny Pat! I actually typed Roger Dean into my little white box and then I thought the same thing and erased it! I love the "IF" thing. The biggest word in the English Dictionary. Hugh Syme is the best. Am I bias? Maybe. But I really don't care! I walked into a Best Buy a month ago and I see in the new release rack the album by "Stone Sour." Never heard of the band but I gaze into the cover and I know like "one sniff of the hydrant" that Hugh did the cover. Damn he is good! I love all his work. I own a ton of Andrew MacNaugtan prints as well. Some are signed by the band and him, some are not, but that is in the photography end of it. If Hugh couldn't do the new cover and Andrew did, would it be the first cover with a cool photograph of the band on the front? I love the inner sleeve of "Grace Under Pressure." Great picture. That is something that is beyond cool that most never would think of except us! Not only are RUSH first class musicians but they also have the best in the business around them! MacNaughtan and Syme!! The Five Genius Band. Sincerely, The Ben Mink 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is excellent knowledge! Fooled again! I bought a print of that shot off of the MacNaugtan site, simply being lazy and thinking it was done by Andrew! Again thanks for clarifying! I may be a RUSHHEAD but I sure as hell don't know everything. Now I know why I joined this Forum. I need some fine tuning! Cheers! Earl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Earl I remember they were a little concerned that the karsh potrait was too much of a close-up bare bones and unenhanced warts-and-all photo shot. Notice how the pics on the follow up Power Windows cover are glossy, colourful and most likely airbrushed... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
