    What is it about the label that you made fun of it for?

    I really dig the label, but this back story just makes me appreciate it that much more.

    I can't speak for others, but I was amused by the posing man depicted in the label and the scene in which he is standing. He kinda looks like a saboteur or secret agent prowling through the back alleys of London. Many BAs had an opinion on what he is up to in the label....

    Thanks to his broken leg, he got to keep his dignity.

    Having now seen the original photo and how the street is laid out it makes sense why it seemed off to me. The photo of the drummer is taken from a higher elevation looking down, shouldn't he have been traveling down the street at the same angle or slope? I've always felt like the person and his pose didn't fit the surroundings. Makes sense now.

    personally I don't like the label at all. My first thought was...is that supposed to be Jack the Ripper?

    the story is cool, still an odd choice for a label.

    Yep. Saw the label and thought the story was going to be about Jack the Ripper.

    After reading the story, I wish the man on the label had his face painted like a cat.

    I liked the label and I like it even more now. It did make me think of Jack the Ripper at first glance. Also, the above reference to the film "M" is a good one. Great film.

    A broken leg or a majority of my life having to work with Gene Simmons? I'll take the broken leg.
