Love You Live--The Rolling Stones | The Story Behind the Album Cover Art

Send us Fan Mail

Andy Warhol thought he’d created a piece of pure art for the Rolling Stones—no title, no band name, just Mick Jagger and a striking image. Then someone picked up a marker… and changed everything.

What followed was frustration, finger-pointing, and a cover that may have ended one of the most fascinating artist–rock star collaborations of the 1970s. And those “biting” photos? They’re not just weird—they might be saying something darker about the band itself.

Was this one of the Stones’ boldest visual statements… or a great work of art that got defaced?
