  • In this video, I run through 10 classic album covers that were surprisingly censored. The list includes releases from Alice Cooper, Green Day, White Zombie, Lady Gaga, Ice T and more. OK, maybe it's not surprising that the Ice T cover was band. Regardless, the powers that be didn't want you to see these - but I do. OFFICIAL MERCH STORE: channel33rpm.bi...

    You probably could have just done a list of ten Scorpions album covers that have been censored.

    An often overlooked "censored" cover is Three Dog Night's "Hard Labor" from 1974.

    Actually *not* the censorship I was expecting when I saw that Dookie would be in the list. I was thinking it would be that Ernie from Sesame Street was removed from the back cover somewhere along the way. Anyway Frank, I was out and about the other day wearing my "I still owe money to Columbia House" t-shirt and had quite a few comments on it, it's probably my most reacted to t-shirt in my whole wardrobe. Keep up the great work!

      My original Dookie CD has Ernie on the back but I recently picked up the 30th anniversary LP and he is missing. Probably more copywrite issues and / or not wanting Sesame St associated with Green Days music maybe?

    On the cover of Rush's Permanent Waves the "Dewey Defeats Truman" headline from the Chicago Tribune is covered up on most of the older copies that I've seen. According to Hugh Syme there were legal threats from the newspaper. They don't like people being reminded of the debacle. I've seen the headline on several older non-US issues and the newer vinyl releases also show it. Edit: I just looked at my Permanent Waves vinyl reissue and Dewey is spelled Dewei. They changed it a bit to avoid problems.

  • @thedarkwizardroom
    @thedarkwizardroom 5 месяцев назад

    Hey Frank. Well I guess I don't have any controversial albums. I could be wrong in that but knowing of having an album with the music is fine I suppose as well. Except for a cd that recent comes to mind at the moment of The MC5 Kick Out The Jams with MF word at the beginning of that song. And I have the other version on various artists of Heavy Metal if one remembers way back when that double album came out. With the change to "Brothers and Sisters" on Kick Out The Jams.
    Now I would think that an artist would make more in sales to the record selling well with controversy but then be it probably works out both ways when one is a uncensored and the other censored so someone could have two copies of a record album. Only the uncensored being as more inflated in price.

    poison's flesh and blood cover was censored because it had blood dripping from the tattoo. and not really censored but zombie's astrocreep cover was changed because it originally had the 3m logo next to rob's head. perhaps 3m threatened legal action.

    I’m surprised there was no mention of Spinal Tap’s “Smell The Glove” album. The original cover had a greased, naked woman on all fours with a dog collar around her neck, and a leash and a man’s arm extended out up to here holding on to the leash and pushing a black glove in her face to sniff it. As we all know, it was changed to a plain black cover. A cover that made people ask “How much more black could it be and the answer is none. None more black.”

    There have been some album covers that I had a problem with. To be honest, I thought "The World Needs a Hero" (from MEGADETH) came out better and more artful when they censored it. The original was too generic. VR was ripping himself out of DM. But the censored version was more thoughtful. 🤔 The image was altered so DM was on the floor. 🤔 VR crawled out of what looked like either a coffin or a piano. 🤔 Interesting link between death & music. 🤔 Certainly more artful. 🤔

      They will, but....then RUclips demonetizes the video because it doesn't meet community/advertiser guidelines. And once a video is demonetized, it's dead. RUclips stops recommending it, and it goes away. This happened to me with a similar video I did last year... I changed my approach this time, and it passed the communuty standards test, or whatever it's called.
