Dafür mag ich das Cover.

---

Zumindest ist es mal was ganz neues. "Paranoid" ist ikonisch, aber halt auch extrem albern, die restlichen Covers finde ich der Zeit angemessen recht stylish.

Da geht mir nichts über das Cover von "Sabotage". Die Geschichte dahinter ist eins von Dutzenden Spinal-Tap-Momenten dieser Band:

The inverted mirror concept was conceived by Graham Wright, Bill Ward's drum tech, who was also a graphic artist. The band attended what they believed was a test photo shoot for the album cover, thus explaining their choice of clothing. Said Ward, "The only thing we didn't discuss was what we'd all wear on the day of the shot. Since that shoot day, the band has survived through a tirade of clothing comments and jokes that continue to this day". Ward, in fact, was wearing his wife's red tights in the photo. Wright recalls in the book How Black Was Our Sabbath that the plan was for each band member to appear on the cover dressed in black and had been instructed to bring some stage clothes for preliminary photos, but when they arrived, no black costumes had been laid out by the designers, and "the original concept had been overruled." The designers "carried on with the shoot, explaining they would superimpose the images at a later stage and that it would look great, to be honest. The session was unbelievably rushed, and the outcome was far from what had been originally envisaged. Ironically, the sleeve design that was intended to illustrate the idea of sabotage had instead become a victim of sabotage itself. By the time they saw it, it was too late to change." (wiki)

Eine Menge Leute meines Alters aus der "Szene" stehen auf Kiss. Verstehe ich auch, weil es bestimmt komplett wild war, die mit 14 zu hören, aber die gehörten nie zu meiner Musiksozialisation.

Meine Hochphase bei Kiss war zwischen 11 und 14 Jahren, danach kamen dann U2, Jethro Tull, Yes und ähnliche Sachen ... ab 17 oder 18 ging es dann Richtung Punk/Alternativ/Independent/Hardcore etc.pp..
Mit Mitte 20 kam dann eine Elektrophase ... und heutzutage höre ich (fast) alles querbeet, inkl. Klassik und Jazz.
