RIHANNA Accused Of 'Hijacking' Cover Of 1998 'Extreme Music' Compilation
- Oct. 23, 2009
|
|
According to PrefixMag.com, professional wrestler Paul Heyman has accused Rihanna of hijacking the 1998 album cover for "ECW: Extreme Music", which features MEGADETH, MOTÖRHEAD and WHITE ZOMBIE. This album was part of a campaign to promote Extreme Championship Wrestling. Hayman's web site claims that he was the "owner, operator, and creative force" behind the project, which earned MOTÖRHEAD a Grammy nomination in 2000 ( BLACK SABBATH won the award for "Iron Man".) There are similarities between "ECW: Extreme Music" and "Russian Roulette", Rihanna's new single. Both grace their respective covers with right hands in the air and patches over their eyes; both are wrapped in barbed wire. However, where Rihanna is wearing black latex, "ECW: Extreme Music" cover star The Sandman has a bare chest, a cigarette hanging from his mouth, blood running down his forehead, and a tattoo on his arm.

That's "The Sandman" a wrestler for the now defunct ECW. Paul Heyman ran the company but was, in no way, a wrestler.

So by having done this cover, he thinks he owns the right to be the only person to be photographed being wrapped in barbed wire?
Only in America!

What next, are you going to post a story about Kayne West wearing the same jacket as Slash?
This is a METAL site, this story is stupid and shouldn't even be posted here (especially since there really isn't much resemblance at all)

Paul Heyman is a desperate douche bag if he thinks he has a valid bitch. There is no way in hell Rihhanna's album cover looks like his.
He can't be fuckin' serious.

I don't think Heyman has much to go on but any time the little guy sticks it to a big corporation..."Run to the hills, Ma Barker."
This is a great album as well. Well recommended.
And remember, we're talking about the real, original ECW here. Not that latest Vince McMahon created bullshit.

That's not Paul Heyman on the cover, it's actually the Sandman. Really, I don't think Heyman has much of a case, here.

They both stole it. The cover is a combination of the movie posters of an old 1975 prison girl titty flick called "Barbed Wire Dolls" and the the movie "Heavy Metal". I am also pretty certain that Paul Heyman had someone steal the barbed wire used in his photo shoot from the Home Depot.

It beats Dave Mustaine "news." In fact, I like Rihanna's stuff better than Mustaine's last 18 years of output. The shit she did on that Maroon 5 track alone kills Endgame.

The Rihanna album cover is strictly coincidental. Sorry. Much as I hate her music I find it hard to believe she went to this trouble to mimic a compilation album by the ECW.
Besides, if it were the case, she'd have been the first person to have cared about the ECW since 1998. Yep, Rihanna sure fits the demographic of your average wrestling fan if you judge by that yardstick......

He is on the cover on the right. he was a wrestler back in the original ECW. also was with WCW , WWE as well. Paul Heyman was the owner of the old ECW for years.

hey... that's the title of an Accept album. add that to the lawsuit... and hey both album covers are printed w/ ink on paper and hey... I use ink and paper so add that in there too. I'm an American dammit I deserve free money from frivolous lawsuits.
This is retarded. They don't even look the same. Do you think that this chick has even ever watched wrestling? and if so I'd say it's a huge stretch that she would have bought that album in '98, kept it, found it a few months back and then deliberately ripped off the pose of this meathead on the cover for her own record.
Cash grab.
Lame.

At least he knows chords unlike James Hetfield who has relied on Dave Mustaine, Lloyd Grant, Damien Phillips, and Kirk Hammett to do all the hard guitar work.
Plus not to mention......he knows more words than Whoa Oh and Yeah hah!!!!!
Maybe I should go to therapy like little Jamie Hetfield did!!!! What is Dr. Towle's number?????

Copyright laws specifically state that if you add three notable changes to an already established work, then you can claim it as your own and it no longer constitutes as infringement.
I spy several changes... more than three.
