Yeah, but it's the exact cover, in the exact size taken off Best Buy.
It's real. Best Buy would not put fan-made artwork on their website.
I still think that theme from the Warfield 2006 posters would make a great Use Your Illusion III with Chinese flavor, cover. I loved that shit.

Hmm - well, but the others are sized like 500 or 600 pixels, the 'Best Buy' one is just 50 by 50, the size on the Best Buy website. I think a fan just uploaded the 50x50.
It's official - at least, it's authentically from Best Buy and GNR's representatives. It may be re-release place holder or concept sketch. Or just the real thing. But it's not a fake.

My opinion:
Just as I imagined - quite amazing the similarity to what has been described with the bike all these years.
Hard to see the detail, but i'm liking it. Artistic looking and understated.

Wasn't the cover artwork was originally shown at Vegas 01.01.01 ?
Hong Kong, 08/14/02.
The Vegas '01 show posters featured my avatar, I think.
On 08/14, at the tour opener in China, Axl proved the cover art was indeed ready.
"Before [GNR] played [CD], [Axl] told a little anecdote why the new album is called 'Chinese Democracy'. He said it was because he saw a photo taken in Hong Kong, which he's using as the new album cover. And then he showed it on the video screens, and it was a black and white picture of a bicycle with a basket, and in the wall behind it, someone had grafittied 'Guns N' Roses'!!! He said 'I didn't paint that myself, so one of you motherfuckers out there must have did it!'" (Fan review)
"At one point, that was going to be the cover of the record - I'm not sure if it's now. This one guy... he was my keyboard tech at the time... Michael... and I mean he was in China at the time and he saw that and took a picture and showed it to Axl." (Dizzy, Metal Sludge, 01/29/06)
