I've always appreciated the "reality" of Pink Floyd's album art.

[@justinthomas7222]

OMG, the guitar tab book! I had that! And losjng those was one of the biggest regrets of my life! I had The Wall, DSOTM too, and still have TDB.

Epic cover 👍

stroke of genius to get Fabio Capello involved

The "U.K. version" was used for the artwork inside the U.S. compact disc.

I totally get and applaud the principle of the cover, one man getting burnt in a business deal by another. But spending a huge amount of money going to Hollywood and using a stuntman to do it for real was silly. He LOOKS like a stuntman (bodybuilder physique) and wore a very obvious fireproof wig. So it took away from the metaphor for me. Unless that was in itself intentional? Because a perfect mock-up could have been performed photographically of course.

The poor stunt guy on fire is about how the rest of the band was feeling working with Roger Waters as his bloated ego became increasingly combustible ..
