Damn. He was a talented man. Always liked his work.

Surrealist painter Hans Ruedi Giger, whose designs inspired the creature in Alien and whose otherworldly and often grotesque art graced album covers for Emerson, Lake and Palmer, Debbie Harry and Danzig, died Monday, following hospitalization for falling down the stairs in his Zurich home. He was 74.

So that's why I've been seeing his stuff posted around. It wasn't really my thing but all the same I respected his talent.

I don't know if he used it in any other song but the mic Trent Raznor used on the video "Closer" was designed by Giger. His design's were pretty wicked. He also did the cover art for E.L.P's album Brain Salad Surgery. He was a genius in his own way.

This person worked behind the scenes so that's where I moved your thread.
