The Cover Of Raygun

[thefutureisxrated]

Does anybody know who exactly is depicted on the cover of the Raygun EP? It looks a lot like Lee Harvey Oswald to me. I have the cover tattooed on my chest and I tell people it's Lee Harvey Oswald when they ask. Crusader needed to ask him that question when he was able to email interview Matt a few months back...

[gonna.die.in.coquitlam]

You have that tatooed on your chest?!

[thefutureisxrated]

Yes I do. It's almost done. I'm about to get the rest of the tattoo finished sometime in the next two weeks.

[Ravenous megin-sane]

what if you found out the cover means something completley different?

wouldnt you feel silly getting a tattoo of something you didnt understand at the time?

 

 

ps- how big is it?

[running4home]

its from the world war two era, it was a fetish toy used by european homosexuals.

 

 

the modern day term for the activity carried out by the toy strapped to the guys face is called the "monroe transfer". if you want me to go into detail about what exactly goes on, i will... but im sure you can figure it out yourself.

 

 

in the mean time, good luck getting it removed.

Gee, you just didn't open your ass and speak out of it now, did you? No pun intended. There are two reasons I got the tattoo:

 

1. The cover of that CD is awesome.

2. Like I said, it looks like Lee Harvey Oswald. How symbolic that a gun is strapped over his face/mouth. Lee Harvey Oswald was blamed for the assassination of Kennedy, but was never able to tell his side of the story because he was shot before he went to court. So I see a gun covering his mouth as the ultimate in irony.

 

No matter what the cover may ultimately mean, everybody who has seen the tattoo has been told it is LHO.

[sockcrotch]

i wouldnt doubt it being LHO being that matt is a history buff and whatnot

[Rebabaluba]

...and you can just keep telling people that. No one needs to know its some sexual ditty! Anyways your theory about the picture makes a lot of sense. Good for you!

 

Oi I can't remember, but does anyone know if Matt drew that picture himself?

fair enough. just dont go traipsing around the brighter parts of europe with your shirt off.... unless you're into that stuff, which is totally cool.

[Rebabaluba]

hahaha that would be fun to see, I wonder how many old people would chuck their canes (or giant scooters) at him!?....unless they were in to that stuff...not thats theres anything wrong with that of course.

[thefutureisxrated]

I highly doubt that the image has anything to do with anal fetish. It would be really funny if it did, but I doubt it. I could tell people the image is about liking ass to mouth. Good ol' ATM. Matt Good can be out there sometimes, but not that extreme.

[saturnine]

it's some dude with a fancy raygun for a proboscis.

[middle class gangster]

the lee harvey thing is much better than what i always thought the cover meant.

 

i thought it was some like sad look at the future (since it said raygun not like handgun/mouthgun) and you are forced to speak bullets meaning you couldn't talk things over your forced to fight over it.

 

but im bad at this kinda stuff, and the LHO thing is cooler.

[RicardoObviouso]

actually, neither he nor the record label knew what it meant at the time. years later, they found out thanks to a guy named Tyler Lunn, who i went to school with. he just happens to have a degree in history, focusing mainly on european history in the WW2 era.

[savepenguins]

you should email him and ask about it. its obviously quite important to you.

 

and dammit, now i want a cover art tattoo!

Hmm...

[running4home]

that is kinda similar but creepy i really wouldnt want a tat of thata

[Rebabaluba]

Hmmm I wonder what people would think if you had a big yellow bunny tattooed to your ass?....

[running4home]

i would be the coolest person in the world thats for damn sure

[Rebabaluba]

Well a lot of people would want to look at your ass to see if the rumors were true.

[Psychopompador]

definately.

 

oddly i would not be one of them

[running4home]

c'mon steve you know u wanna see my ass

[thefutureisxrated]

See, the resemblance between Lee Harvey Oswald and the cover of Raygun is quite similar. That's why I got the tattoo. I'm a big Kennedy Assassination buff and I've always thought the cover of Raygun depicted LHO. The hair may be a bit different, but it's close enough in my book. Maybe i'll take a picture of the tattoo soon for everyone to see...
