Source for that? I never heard that before. If so, bless Starlight. Motorcycle body is a ballsy move for a pop album cover and very memorable.

Oh it was so FUN when this album cover premiered and everyone fell over themselves. lol

I have always liked it, myself.

The future's uncertain and the end is always near.

I'll try and find an old source, I'm pretty sure it came from backstage at the BTWBall

I was disappointed. So glad it was the standard cover, the other one was great. But I had such hopes for it because all the songs she talked about before release were so beautiful and meaningful. They seem to be on their way to bringing the gay community a little justice. Then that drop and it immediately made me feel like she was mocking us. What? We were born like a hybrid motorcycle. I know she didn't mean it that way but I was crushed when I found out it wasn't just some fan's horrible cover art. And, I was at the Monster Ball (fourth time) when I realized it was legit because she put it on the big screen. But everytime I see it, it reminds me of that sinking feeling I got the first time I saw it. Now the album, I doubt she will ever top that in my mind. It was exactly what I needed at that point in my life and brought me so much happiness. Other albums will be great but nothing by any artist will have the impact that had on my life. Now the cover just makes it bittersweet!

The zoomed in special edition cover is much better that growl is iconic . The truth is in her red lipstick .:staymad:

Agreed. That should have been the main cover. Perhaps the motorcyle nod to Judas Priest could've been album artwork or on the back...it just...wasn't good regardless of inspiration.

Omg. Thank GOD she went with the one she did. That would have been a terrible album cover.
