1985 Cockroach Mirror

[Black Tears]

What the hell does this picture mean? (Refer to inside of TGCD case, behind the disc)

 

[madu]

I don't have that picture, and in 1985 Jonas and Anders were 10 years old so maybe they have some fond memories concerning cockroaches from back then.

Ew, that sounded really dirty.

 

[BlueSky]

Hmm. Well a roach is ugly and a mirror is a reflection of who you really are. I was born in 1985 and maybe they figured the majority of their fans were born in that year? So they're trying to say we are ugly inside. hah. I dunno..

still waiting for mine (tgcd-swe) to get here..

Asked the same on this forum already. Got no answer.

I have to agree with BlueSky, my year of birth is also 1985...

Nope. I think they're all crazy though!

In fact, has anyone not born in 1985 seen this supposed cockroach? :Smug:

I hate cockroaches, I find them disgusting.

Did you know that cockroaches are one of the few kinds that can survive after an atomic explosion? Also, cockroaches are one of the most ancient bugs on the planet.

Anyway, that cockroach doesn't have to mean anything specific. And 1985 maybe placed there to make the picture look old. But, on the other hand something must happened then.

many famous bands disbanded then

*Edited: I found that too - 1985 Discovery of Titanic


Probably its more personal. If we could ask Travis, who made the artwork?

 

[Khayman666]

Me

Oh.

Fair enough then.

 

[Demonspell]

For those struggling to find the 1985 in the picture, its right above the center. As for the significance of that number, no fucking clue.

 

[FatefuL]
