it just sounds like a contest just for street team, and it wont be changing the cover of the album. just who can design a fake cover.

i remember when korn did the art design for issues years ago. and that was open to everyone, to make teh cover. and 4 won, but only 1 was the real cover. others were limeted edition.

yeah I signed up for the street team a long time ago but I realizied I didnt really want to participate in it

I am hoping that if they do that its still a good cover

I dont mind the photo that ville chose

but aslong as its good

I designed a "new heartagram". It didn't turn out very well. Apparently my MS Paint skillz weren't good enough for them hoighty toighty record label folk.

Yeah, I really don't think they are wanting to change the cover. It's just a contest. That's all. Calm down.

I know it's just a contest, but they have to be using whichever redesign gets picked in some capacity. There's a rumor going around that there's going to be more than just two special editions. If that turns out to be true, they could be using the redesign as the actual cover of one, and then maybe having the runner-ups' covers pictured inside of the booklet. Either way, it's just a way to make more money. Fuck them. Fan involvement is great when it's, for example, when they gave away tickets and backstage passes to the first person who cracked the code. When it comes to actual merchandise, though, it's almost degrading in a way.

It's the street team... they have no influence on the band really at all. It's just some stupid contest. When I entered the "make the new heartagram" contest, I just sent them a picture of my tattoo.

isn't it a bit late to change the cover? so i seriously doubt they would...unless they would release another version
Title: Re: Bleed Well & Cover Contest
Post by: loveslastbreath on August 18, 2007, 10:57:47 AM
my guess is this cover will most likely be for some single or t-shirt :)

I'm so confused.  :-\
Is the cover being changed or not? This is the only place I've heard anything about it.
Title: Re: Bleed Well & Cover Contest
Post by: Daedalus on August 20, 2007, 03:43:19 PM
It is not being changed. This is simply a contest whereby the method to win is to "redesign" the Venus Doom cover. That's all it is.

yea im with you there but its so tempting to listen if they get leaked
Title: Re: Bleed Well & Cover Contest
Post by: Davidson955 on August 24, 2007, 11:30:12 PM
you know people say "im not listening to VD" but in reality when/if it is leaked it's going to be hard as hell not to listen to it. So props to the ppl that are not listening to it!
Title: Re: Bleed Well & Cover Contest
Post by: Devilish330 on August 25, 2007, 12:26:49 AM
Seriously, If the album leaks , I don't think I'll listen...what's the point if the release date is near (less than month)? 

I hope everyone else is also strong and don't download the album when it leaks...  ;)
Title: Re: Bleed Well & Cover Contest
Post by: HIM616 on August 25, 2007, 12:32:43 AM
I think if it leaks right now i wont download it at all either
Title: Re: Bleed Well & Cover Contest
Post by: Jay on August 25, 2007, 01:36:01 PM
I did hear Kiss of Dawn the other day, but Sirius played it, not me.  And I had an uneducated potential fan with me, so I had to let it play...I had to...
Title: Re: Bleed Well & Cover Contest
Post by: Daedalus on August 25, 2007, 01:53:43 PM
I'm still being very good and haven't listened to anything VD related.
I won't be listening to a leak at all.
It's far too close to release for me to break my pledge.

I'm not quite sure what to do when my Maxi KOD cd arrives around the 7th Sept. Might put it away until the album date.

The way I look at it, if it's officially released (a single), then it's ok to listen to. I won't download a leak of the album, but I will listen to anything that I own on a physical disc.

I'm listening of every leaked second of new songs, except PKF remix, which (at least the leaked part ;) ) is sh*t.

did they delay it anyway or was it because of project revolution?
i remind an interview where ville said everythings perfect in time and stuff...

i mean for the album - they'll do a lot of promotion shit and so on... and that wouldn't be easy to do that along with the project revolution tour...

Propably PR is the 1st reason. 2nd is that Warner needed more time to do all those shitty "keys".
