Hidden Messages in Albumn Art
 

This is one of my favorites. The devil face in blood on the canvas, the 666 in the gutter. Ozzy in the gutter :\

I'm sure there is more hidden in there.

This should be in art shit huh?

A lot of that's been obscured in recent years. The devil face is a lot less clear on copies I've seen.

I like Greg Hildebrandt. Sorry for his bro. They were both good artists.

tadao, you prolly seen the Live Evil cover right? Another devil face but it's made of LIGHTNING! Which is one reason why Ronnie James Dio is 5' 3" of COOL!

I'm not seeing it... I'll get ripped tonight and look again.

that picture is cropped... there is a bigger version

here 'tis

amusingly enough, while looking for this, i came across a comment from Geezer Butler. He called this "Live in the studio Evil", because there was a lot of overdubs.

I see it now, I never noticed it. Nice.

are you an Iron Maiden fan, tadao? because there is some weird jokes on their album covers up until 7th son (jokes prolly didn't stop, i just stopped listening for a while)

Yeah hehe, I never got into that album, I stopped at Power Slave, which has some great hidden stuff on it too. I remember when my friend showed me all the people in the flames on Number of the Beast. That blew me away. So 7th Son has hidden jokes or before that album?

All Iron Maiden album covers that i've seen up until 7th Son, have some kind of weird joke or two. "Somewhere In Time" is loaded with them.

I'll have to look for the Iron Maiden ones.

In Power Slave you have to look carefully at the Hieroglyphics. I couldn't find a good image on the internet that shows them clearly.

I love DIo-era sabbath. Some of that stuff I'd take even over Ozzy. And there was rumors of "The Mob Rules" cover witht he words KILL OZZY hidden in. Considering how he sounds now, that sounds like a good idea.

The Ozzy part has to be a coincidence, considering the art was made some time during the 1970's and was licensed for the album.

You mean the Abbey Road cover?

The Little Mermaid video cover has a cock on it!

It's not music but I didn't want to have to make another thread :rolleyes

And one whole frame of Ariel topless.

I just saw a new face in The Mob Rules! It's right above the "O" in Mob. Neat.

On the Little Mermaid. Yeah, the Artist did that because he didn't get his name on the credits. If you have that copy, it's worth some money.

*sigh*

He was just rushed to get the artwork done and accidently made one of the spires a little penile.
