Looking at the cover artwork, has anyone else noticed something weird about the photo of Guy Fletcher? He is in the middle just above Mark, his face is grey

Guy Fletcher's face is not grey. Just somebody's being sloppy with the sponge tool in Photoshop... Guy doesn't have so much grey hair in the original photo. This makes me think how lazy everything seems nowadays... Sgt. Pepper's cover was done practically, with cardboard cutouts of celebrities and living Beatles standing in front. Here, it's all stock photos of even Guy and Mark themselves and a sloppy job at that.

And why some people are greyed out as if they are dead and others are not grey anyway? John Sebastian and Joan Jett are still alive, and yet they are grey like Jeff Beck. It doesn't make any sense people. I know this criticising is getting too old and we already bored everybody to death with our moaning, but if something's messed up, something's messed up.

Personally I think this will pick up momentum prior to release when it's publicised through the individual artists media channels. A few have already put mentions on their websites, Brian May to name one, Why on earth with the names involved wouldn't this make bucketfuls of cash for a worthy cause.

Way to much over analysis and cynicism from some quarters.

Lovely little post from Brian May btw.

This whole project is lacking some "momentum"....   of course it it for a good cause and that is a beautiful thing. But it is totally artificial and without any spirit. I mean you can say that We Are The World is cheesy or that it together with Do They Know It's Chrismas" are not good songs, but the artists met at THAT special night at THAT place and filled it with spirit and made it a remarkable and unforgettable song, the fact that we talk and write about it 30 years later is evidence for it.

Those two songs were written specifically for the occasion by Bob Geldof/Midge Ure and Lionel Richie/Michael Jackson. I think that's another point to consider. No matter how great this version of "Going Home" will be, it's going to be hard to supersede not one but TWO old and well established recordings (the MK soundtrack and the Alchemy live version).
