It's in the artist Walton Ford's iconography -- he's been painting gorillas and many other animals for years.

So you think Mick commissioned this guy to do the cover for no particular reason other than that he liked his gorilla pictures? You don't think Mick chose the gorilla for some deeper meaning it may hold for him?

For crying out loud how many damn times do I have to explain this! OK, one more time for you, tatters. Who is the king of the jungle? King Kong, of course! Who rules the jungle of Rock 'N Roll? Now do you get it?

King kong from the movies - that's not real. Monkeys surely aren't kings of the jungle. Go out and see for yourself. It's the lion. After that; the tiger, the elephant or the elk.....but not the monkey

I'm going to be brave and admit I like both the gorilla and title, GRRR!. After all how many album titles can you make a sound instead of using regular words, lol.

Oh, sure. They're the King Kong of rock and roll, alright. And we all know how well things worked out for King Kong.

And the "Mighty GRRR" is real? Tell King Kong he doesn't rule the jungle!
