If only we had such a cover to titillate you good people with today. If only we had a retarded version of the 'Love Gun' sleeve to have you salivating over. If only we had a top album cover from Jag Panzer to introduce you to....

albumthumb2013At URHQ we like to start each week with a Battle Cry, a call to arms, a coming together, a huddle, a heavy metal high five, a reminder of the common uber goal: to point cool mofos like you in the direction of even cooler bands and their choice tunes. Every Monday we like nothing better than reminding you of those heady days of seminal albums wrapped in fantastic cover art, making you dream of being a right proper heavy metaller. Like Udo. Or Biff. Or Lizzy Borden.

albumthumb2013We get an average of 27,000 faxes here at URHQ per week telling us how great our seminal Album Cover Of The Week feature is. We do get the odd complaint though. Sometimes it's a mega-fan of a band complaining that we're extracting the urine out of their fave group's artwork - as if - but this week we've had a complaint that we don't have enough birds on our featured covers. So, without further ado, here's a good looking chap with his hands all over a right tasty bird.....

And it's not just the fab drummer either, oh no, he's brought friends like Joe Walsh, Steve Lukather, Todd Rundgren and that bloke from Mr. Mister along for the digital versatile ride......
