I lived in Indonesia for a year, and saw many pictures of Indonesian rock stars that looked just like the guy on that cover. I remember especially one guy named Ikang Fawzy who wore some pretty amazing get-ups. Unfortunately I can't seem to find any pictures of him on the web.

I am not convinced that the entire existence of this person is not just an elaborate joke.

Re: The Indonesian cover, I have often struggled, in between laughs, with what exactly that guy is DOING.

He's sort of flying at you with the guitar in one hand, but his other hand is raised in a karate chop-like position. Is he going to fly at me and then karate chop me, or his he going to do a karate chop windmill chord on the guitar?
