Karn Evil 9 rocks dude.

It rocks. :excl:

LOL. My problem wasn't with Karn 9 Evil...my problem was with any past member of Mr. Big which I think was one of the WORST bands in the history of the world.

I never heard Mr. Big. To me...Gilbert is a MIT guy (the Hollywood guitar school) who wrote an article for Guitar Player. :alien:

I think by the time Mr. Big happened, I wasn't listening to guitar rock any more.

Gary Larsen

I was thinking of this one, too. The story I heard is that apparently Larsen is an amateur jazz guitarist and a a big Jim Hall fan. When the record company approached Larsen to do the cover, he said, "OK, my fee is one million dollars...OR...a private lesson with Jim Hall." Apparently calls were immediately made to Hall to find a time for the lesson. ^_^

Is Roger Dean famous for anything other than album covers?

If not......does he "count"?

I don't think Roger Dean counts...

"Made popular through the medium of album covers and posters his work, including posters, cards, books and album covers etc., has sold in excess of sixty million copies world-wide."

Nope.......he's OUT.

I don't have it at hand, but Larsen did one for a Herb Ellis / Red Mitchell duo album. Again: apt, accurate and funny...
