  • You Go, Liz Coco! · 6 months ago
    I vote we end this little battle and you just put a picture of your dick as the album cover. Deal?
  • Amalina Honkerburger · 6 months ago

    hell yeah.

    i soooo agree :)
  • Loochh · 6 months ago
    4 people have agreed, i'm sure many others would too.

    GABE NOODZ!
  • taylor marie · 6 months ago
    I still think you should have picked
    THA RYLAND III
  • Amalina Honkerburger · 6 months ago
    GRILLER's much more awesome!
  • You Go, Liz Coco! · 6 months ago
    Agreed.
  • Amalina Honkerburger · 6 months ago
    hahaha but it's okay, Hot Mess's kindda hotter.
  • You Go, Liz Coco! · 6 months ago
    I loved Saurez's.
  • Daaniela · 6 months ago
    Ajajajajajaaj xD
  • oliviaxnicolee · 6 months ago
    If i got to chose, I WOULD SO PICK THAT CHOICE.
    poor vicky t and her girl choice of viva la cobra XD
  • krisbolfango · 6 months ago
    i know right? we all want a piece of baby ryland. :))
  • krisbolfango · 6 months ago
    what about griller? :p it was pretty awesome :)
  • PunkRockPrincess · 6 months ago
    that was my favorite. cant go wrong with griller lol
  • taylor marie · 6 months ago
    yeah, hahahah, Griller was pretty sweeet.
    and viva la cobra, again.
    :]
  • JimmyMac · 6 months ago
    Trashy. Disgusting. Unconventional.

    Yeah, I'm definitely buying this.
  • kjl · 6 months ago
    eww wtf couldnt come up with something better?
  • ML exclaims · 6 months ago
    yeah i had the same reaction
  • You Go, Liz Coco! · 6 months ago
    Agreed, to be honest. Don't start your record like this.
  • ipostedthis · 6 months ago
    ok, did NO ONE see that he wrote "i'm just playin."??????????
    THATS NOT THE REAL COVER.
  • PunkRockPrincess · 6 months ago
    whether its the actual cover or not i gave up trying to figure that out. im more concerned about the music anyway
  • ipostedthis · 6 months ago
    yeah i just realized that i think he meant that he was "just playin" about something else and that really is the cover.

    i still like it.

    i dont think anyone's ever seen anything like it (originality is a plus), and its VERY cobra in my opinion.
  • MalloryShayyy · 6 months ago
    i think he was kidding about the "'hot me" and adding two s'' thing, not the picture..
    pretty sure this is the legit cover, hun..
  • You Go, Liz Coco! · 6 months ago
    He was talking about the "hot me" and adding two Ss. Look on their Myspace. It's the album art. :|
  • ipostedthis · 6 months ago
    yeah i know now, it was a total DUH moment XD

    i have too many of them

    and for the record, i love the cover.

    extremely cobra and original.
  • Loochh · 6 months ago
    was about to say that. it is the real cover, stop living in a fantasy world people XD
  • amandork · 6 months ago
    Never realised the average age of a CS fan was young enough for their mommy to complain about album covers...?

    What did you guys expect? Rainbows and butterflies? From a band who sings 'You can ride to the top, but you can’t ride on my cock'????

    Delusional!
  • Gabe Saporta · 6 months ago
    HAAAAA!
  • patrick_fan_2010 · 6 months ago
    Haha true but my mom doesnt understand she has this thing tht since i am the only girl she wants to treat me like a kid and wont let me do anything and the funny thing is that im about to go to college next year. So yeah if i get it im gonna have to do wht i did with Release the bats and hide it
  • JayDay182 · 6 months ago
    very true, but i think mi madre wouldnt care too much about this, to be honest
    cuz she got really pissy about Blink182's enema of the state cover and blink spent 10 years talking about fucking dogs, incest, and god knows what else, i think this would be a relief for her to see lol
  • Loochh · 6 months ago
    my phone went off in science and i'm glad my teacher didn't hear the cock part aha
  • PunkRockPrincess · 6 months ago
    haha .. mine went off during a taping in the studio.. i was supposed to have the phone off and i forgot and unfortunately the cock part found its way into the audio of someones commercial we shot hahaha.
  • Loochh · 6 months ago
    LMFAO!
    oh that is frickin' awesome
    reppin' cobrahs innit
  • PunkRockPrincess · 6 months ago
    haha then maybe you havent been to the shows i've been to cause i guarantee half were under the age of 14 so i dont doubt these kids saying that their moms would take it away are overexaggerating lol.
  • Heythere. · 6 months ago
    Don't you guys get it?
    1. It's a Cobra Starship album.
    2. The album is called "Hot Mess"

    I actually like it.
  • ... · 6 months ago
    I get it, but dislike it. They could of made a hotter mess than that.
  • ;) · 6 months ago
    :/ this scares me
  • Deidre · 6 months ago
    idk if i like it, its just a cover though...wont stop me from getting it!
  • Gaga4gaga · 6 months ago
    I really hope you're joking. But then again, you're not so right in the head with your bussiness ventures.
  • Gabe Saporta · 6 months ago
    can you help me?
  • PunkRockPrincess · 6 months ago
    i actually think u've been smart business wise. the not so right in the head part well we all know you arent all there :P but when it comes to business i think you've learned from the past and are making better decisions now. u dont need help. if it all goes to hell at least you know you did it your way and nobody elses :) and have no regrets.
  • Loochh · 6 months ago
    you're beyond help, Gabe. a lost cause.

    ;)
  • PunkRockPrincess · 6 months ago
    how is album art impact business ventures....it can impact fanbase i guess or sales but business ventures? its not like gabe is looking to be the next great album cover artist...
  • jordanabanana · 5 months ago
    I don't understand why everyones hating this cover!
    First of all, it has the necklace from the Church of Hot Addiction, awesome.
    Second of all, it catches your eye. More people look, the more people get curious about what the frick is going on.
    And third, controversy sells. And by the looks of it, people are stirring....
  • geevongore · 6 months ago
    half of the comments i have read are actually pathetic.
    its all coming from a bunch of tweens who are calling the album disgusting, "eww"? and leaving other forms of negative feedback.

    how many times do people have to say "the album is called hot mess, hense why she is hot and looks a mess" etc over and over again. the reason, why is because none of you seem to get it.
    i absolutely love the cover, bim is a close friend of mines and pulled this off great, respect too her.

    but for all the kids whining about the target audience and how their parents wont let them buy it because of the cover? get a grip. how can you possibly try and diss an album cover when above all the lyrics in alot of cobra starship songs are pretty explicit.
    you guys need to stop being so hypocritical and face it.

    the band have done great with the album, so pay them that respect.
    and last time i checked.theres also a ton of great images for inside the album sleeve too.
    or do you all want to have some hater bash on them too?

    if you were real fans. you would all shut up. and pay respect to the music.
  • Loochh · 6 months ago
    okay, this has grown on me a lot
    but the sweatiness still makes me feel incredibly sick
    :D

    edit: the concept and stuff has grown on me. but everytime i see the sweat and the shinyness of her due to the sweat, i don't like it all over again.
    may have to edit the shinyness before i put the picture on my ipod for PWITORWF or GGGB
    btw, i loved the GGGB cover. :(

    another edit: just looked at your older album covers. it ties in well with viva la cobra i feel but i think it's such a leap from while the city sleeps. please say that you haven't forgotten the sounds of that album.
  • ilikeyellowlemons · 6 months ago
    yeahh I'm with you on this...

    good concept, just a bit :/
  • Loochh · 6 months ago
    yeah.

    the sweat though. ewwwww :( :(
  • ilikeyellowlemons · 6 months ago
    I just think there are better ways to show a "hot mess" than on a sweaty gorgeous girl with hair stuck to her chest....

    But it does fit the title....just could have been done better me thinks :)
  • Loochh · 6 months ago
    yeah, i get that.
  • Amalina Honkerburger · 6 months ago
    HAAAAAAA yeah 'sweaty gorgeous girl with hair stuck to her chest' that is!
  • ilikeyellowlemons · 6 months ago
    :D
  • sabiiine · 6 months ago
    you know what ? fuck the cover, what matters is the music. :)
  • PunkRockPrincess · 6 months ago
    i agree with this as well
  • Deidre · 6 months ago
    news flash world: (i guess im repeating what others have been saying in my own words)

    you can dislike an album cover but love the artist. you can hate the picture but still be a fan.
    for cryin out loud. i personally don't like it that much (although it has grown on me) but that doesn't mean i'm no longer a fan, luckily i don't live by my emotions in that manner.

    there's tons of singers and bands that have a cover that i wouldn't pick out...but here's the thing...I'm not in that band, I'm not that artist. I'm the listener, and if they're doing what they like instead of being bossed around by someone else...than at least I get the small chance of seeing who they are as musicians, artists, etc. and just because it might not be something that I agree with...doesn't mean I can't just like the music. Or just them as people.

    shoot. I love Cobra Starship.
  • Loochh · 6 months ago
    well said.
    tyvm :)
  • ilikeyellowlemons · 6 months ago
    GO YOU!!
  • a-nicole · 6 months ago
    So, I don't know what the target age fanbase is for Cobra Starship, but I'm a 20 year old, african-american female. I read something about this being racist or whatever (i dunno honestly i just skimmed), and i think that's a crock of crap, man. This is the hottest album cover I've seen in a long time, not to mention it's original and just straight up sexy. Bim Fernandez is gorgeous, and she looks sexy even though you can't even see her face. I dunno what's wrong with you people's parents. When I was 13 years old, my mother bought me Simple Plan's first album, and it had half naked women riddled throughout it. and a few years later, I got Eminem's album, which had cursing and murder riddled throughout it. (lol) I know for a fact that this album cover isn't nearly as bad as some of the SONGS you listen to, anyway. Maybe you should just grow a pair and tell your parents this is whats up. Or keep whining, whatever. But you'll never get anywhere in life if you just keep whining about things. ESP. THE GIRL WHO IS ABOUT TO GO TO COLLEGE, and her mom would take this album away from her. COME ON, GROW UP.

    Good work on the cover
  • PunkRockPrincess · 6 months ago
    seriously just cause your parents are cool with stuff doesnt mean its that way for everyone. you want a metal for having cool parents? thats good that your mom supports your musical tastes but that doesnt give you the right to tell others to grow up and also you're 20 and you are telling those younger than you to grow up that is showing how immature you are. i can tell you the same thing to grow up and stop whining about ppl who are whining. if it bothers u so much bypass their comments and go along your way its simple. and FYI im older than you by almost 4 yrs. you're failure to even empathize with the others just shows that you should be the one who needs a little growing up rather than those who are complaining. you are telling 13 yr olds to grow a pair and tell their parents "this is whats up" maybe its normal for you to have no respect for your parents but i highly doubt the majority kids on here are just gonna go up to their parents and say this is whats in so get with the program or else. they are teens its what teens do. teens whine bitch and moan about things. its better they get it out of their system while they can at a young age than to keep it all in and become an adult that whine bitches and moans about everything.
  • Loochh · 6 months ago
    thank you :) well said.

    that is all.
  • Loochh · 6 months ago
    i'm sorry but this post proper pissed me off. i'm 15 years old and my family used to be pretty strict. my dad would probably get funny with this i don't know. but i don't think you should be complaining that kids are saying their parents would disagree with it.
    they haven't asked for their parents to be strict, only because your family sees things differently and reacts differently to what these other kids' parents act like, doesn't mean you should complain about the kid themselves.
  • elsaxo · 5 months ago
    lmao the simple plan CD was first album too!
  • Kaleigh · 6 months ago
    What's with the freakout? Even if you don't like the cover, it has no bearing on the music, and anyone who thinks that is ridiculous. Nobody's forcing you to stare at the cover while you're listening to the CD.
  • PunkRockPrincess · 6 months ago
    agreed :)
  • patrick_fan_2010 · 6 months ago
    so who wants to give me a job so i can buy this cd lol
  • PunkRockPrincess · 6 months ago
    fuck someone poorer than me. all i can say is do what i do ..pimp out your friends till you get the money lol . by any means necessary. friends come and go but you only have so much cobra albums :P
  • bluesteelbaby · 6 months ago
    I'm not gonna lie. I'm not in love with the cover.
    But I do like that she got that tattooed on her. Thats kick ass.

    &I want her necklaceeee!

    I love you gabe<3
  • Amalina Honkerburger · 6 months ago
    i was in love with ¡Viva la Cobra!'s cover :)
  • shsh · 6 months ago
    i hate it. looks misleading
  • alexa · 6 months ago
    do you even think about your fanbase when you decided on the artwork? if I was the core age of the majority of your fanbase my parents would take that away in an instant based on the content of the picture.
    guess this is going to sell more digitally than physically, but hey here's to hoping it's as good and enjoyable as the last 2 albums.
  • Deidre · 6 months ago
    lol yeah because the content of the music is totally appropriate ;)
  • Gabe Saporta · 6 months ago
    yeah, we're not exactly the kind of music parents are psyched for tehir kids to have
  • rachel · 6 months ago
    well i dont know about that gabe....
    i came out my room the other day to the sound of my mum singing along with my ipod in, when i asked her what she was listening to she yelled loudly 'I dont know, but it goes OH IM READY FOR IT! ALOT!' hahaha
    shes 63....
    she asked me to put yous on her mp3 player for her too haha
    i love my mum
  • CoquettishlyCasey · 6 months ago
    if parents have problems with the cover just buy the Album on iTunes or Rhapsody*?

    and i dont really think that 12 and 13 year old's parents would really care at this point cause there isnt anything sexually explicit or just explicit in general on the album cover..


    btw: How does paying for rhapsody and putting the music on a sansa player help yall with album sales?
  • virgothepoet · 6 months ago
    for 1) i dont have parents
    for 2) thats an awesome idear and fuck the people who dont like it.
    for 3) if parents dont want their kids listening to your music then they have issues bc kids could be doing worse. its not like you are telling ppl to go smoke crack. mkay.

    id get cobra tattooed to me anywhere on my body if i had the money. hell, id get Gabe tattooed to me anywhere on my body if i had the money. i met you and you wrote your name on my fist and i was gonna get that tattooed in place....but then my car broke down. so im holding off :(

    but i like it. youre a hot mess. what else is there to say? a much hotter mess than daisy of love.
  • alexa · 6 months ago
    ehh, I know parents who like some of your songs, mostly off city sleeps, but okay.
  • Cobra cool Mom · 6 months ago
    I'm a parent and I think Cobra Starship is awesome..there are worse things in this world to worry about my kids being exposed to than some 'hardly inappropriate' song lyric!
  • alexa · 6 months ago
    I never said anything about the lyrics, gabe bought that up. I was just talking about the stupid picture.
  • Deidre · 6 months ago
    .
  • ilikeyellowlemons · 6 months ago
    if my mum sees this album lying around my room she'd probs think it was hilarious :)

    that is until she's having one of her episodes, then she will most likely ransack and trash my cd racks until she finds this cover and then somehow use it against me....should be interesting at least! :)
  • sabiiine · 6 months ago
    my mom sing cobra's songs ;)
  • Charlvanti · 6 months ago
    hmm, well my mom loves you guys
    maybe because she's called 'Angie'... but whatever
    there are worse bands for kids to be listening to lyric wise
  • miranda · 6 months ago
    haha really? the only cobra song my mom actually likes is Damn You Look Good and I'm Drunk (Scandalous) :D
  • Amalina Honkerburger · 6 months ago
    hahaha my mom loves Good Girls Go Bad.
  • Phrasethatpayz · 6 months ago
    my mom actually really likes you guys, she loves Hollaback boy......
    not kidding.
  • jaminess. · 6 months ago
    so does mine. ill be listening to my ipod & she'll be like "put hollaback boy on!" and start rockin' out.. its kind of scary.
  • Loochh · 6 months ago
    my dad's forever saying oh what shit are you listening to now?
    and i'm like *rolls eyes* cobra starship, like always

    i think he just does it cas i'm touchy ever since he told me to shut up going on about meeting cobra and being tweeted and shit aha.
  • PunkRockPrincess · 6 months ago
    lol. unfortunately my parents dont get cobra they do however liked midtown and gossip girl so they redeemed themselves with that lol.
  • Loochh · 6 months ago
    my family are cool with it, my dad just winds me up. when i was 10, i was obsessed with green day and my day used to say billie joe looked like an english actor called shane richie and he was forever going to me and my sister SHANE RICHIE! ALFIE MOON!
    XD
  • BottledStar_xo · 6 months ago
    you have a cool mom.
    my dad asked me what shit i was listening to when I played Hollaback Boy.
  • PunkRockPrincess · 6 months ago
    lol i forgot what song i was listening to when my dad came in and thought it was porn music like wtf. i think it was pleasure ryland actually. how the fuck that resembles porn music i dunno but what is even more disturbing is the thought of him knowing what porn music is like.. lol
  • Eve · 6 months ago
    that's debatable, because my mum loved you enough to actually go to your shows. i believe you have managed to break stereotypes. be proud!
  • GreenEmbers · 6 months ago
    Hey my mum went around singing Bring it for weeks when it came out! I know it's not exactly inappropriate, but she was enjoying herself lol!
    Then again when I asked her what she was singing she said "I dunno?"
    Great Mum, Great!
  • Loochh · 6 months ago
    i play everything full blast. my parents have got used to your tunes over the past couple of years so i don't think they give a damn anymore ;)
  • alexa · 6 months ago
    CS's lyrics aren't that bad, they're usually fun and quick-witted, this artwork is obviously "dirty" and i really don't care, but i'm just saying if I was that age and my parents saw it, they'd probably flip.
  • marissa · 6 months ago
    like it matters if your parents like it. psh, wtf.
  • nmtai · 6 months ago
    i lovee it except the fact that she is all "greasy" idk it bothers me so much ahhaha
  • smithkidftw · 6 months ago
    my thoughts exactly.
  • PunkRockPrincess · 6 months ago
    lol yea i would prefer less "greasy" but whatever it makes her more of a hot mess lol
  • Amalina Honkerburger · 6 months ago
    probably sweaty.
  • Kaleigh · 6 months ago
    Are you guys doing any special preorder stuff like the polaroids for the Viva preorders? Oh, and sweet cover, man.
  • PunkRockPrincess · 6 months ago

  • dreamsandschemes · 6 months ago

  • ilikeyellowlemons · 6 months ago
    oooerr!
    That's a pretty sweet cover :)

    how terrible is it that because the first section of the image to show up on my screen was the bottom, my first reaction was why the fack are there pubes on the front cover?!? O_O
  • Loochh · 6 months ago
    LMFAO!
  • ilikeyellowlemons · 6 months ago
    hehe :)
  • kristen · 6 months ago

    I'm stoked about the new album! But I can't lie, that cover is pretty ugly. It's... well I guess I'd have to say it's a hot mess. So, it's appropriate.
  • rubypearl · 6 months ago
    First off awasome cover. (Holy shit I had to retype that 80 fucking times to get it right. Geeze.) I can't WAIT to hear it!!!

    Where do I live? In a bloody small town in Colorado. Do I get to see and do cool things. I need to blow this town and go to NYC.
  • Corporate Casual · 6 months ago

  • sda · 6 months ago
    TBH, i hate cover, its similar to the last album cover
  • danielle · 6 months ago
    Gabe!! ahh i could write a novel about how amazing you are. I remember one day surfing music around myspace and somehow came upon your page. you had polaroids and like 12 friends. I thought you were a crazy creeper guy. I just left the page and was like...whatever. then like a week after, pete posted a link to that same page on an away message and i was like.."no way are you serious!?" then i actually gave the time to see what you were about (haha sorry) and i was amazed. you are so crazy and just do what you feel. I love that about people. Everyone is so fake and just does stuff to please, but you just do what makes you happy. I have been to every show in dallas and it is always the best shows ever. its more of a party than a concert. There was one about a year and a half ago, that was amazing. small room, talking to the crowd a lot. everyone was having so much fun it was amazing. I am so happy for your success and how much the band has grown. the music is always wonderful and whenever i am in a down mood, cobra never fails me. i just want to get up and dance and have a good time. you guys are always so nice whenever we talk after or before shows. all you do is just be yourself, but it makes me happy. i am glad to see that some bands can be real. I just want to thank you for making my life a little bit better. xo
  • PunkRockPrincess · 6 months ago
    i could've sworn i read this exact same thing in the comments of one of his other posts...

    Love the album cover!!! How fast can I make it from LI to NYC??? I want to hang out with U Gabe before I die..and maybe have a vodka and redbull with you too! That's all, I don't want to devour you like all your other fans, maybe just a little hug!
  • PunkRockPrincess · 6 months ago
    that devour you part seriously made me laugh lol. cause its so true.
  • Raquella · 6 months ago
    The album covers hot, I'm not gonna lie. It's funny, I was walking
    around a pac sun today and the cashier saw my shirt, and freaked
    out and started talking to me and asking me all about cobra starship
    and how long you've guys have been a band, because she first heard
    you on the radio with the new song and then I got to tell her all about
    Cobra, I felt like such the good fan! It was fun explaining Cobra to someone
    that has only heard the new song, and making fans out of them as well. :]
  • Venus · 6 months ago

  • sabiiine · 6 months ago
    LOL thats powerpop ! colorful and funny :'D
  • burymeinmmr · 6 months ago
    i'm so excited for the new album :D
  • Myranda · 6 months ago
    What's the video for that plasticines song called? I can't tell on my iPod touch oh and what's up with all the words on bodie parts like Hot Mess and Artwork o.o
  • Headfull_Of_Arabesques · 6 months ago
    LOL i thought i was the only one who thought of Artwork.
    its 2 completely differetn types of music, but..
    I CANT FREAKIN WAIT FOR THEM TO COME OUT! <333
    even though i dont really like either cover that much, but oh well haha
    and the song is called barcelona btw.
  • heytearcatcher · 6 months ago
    Holy crap, it's awful. First Leighton Meester and now this. I'm getting apprehensive about hearing this album, I really hope that you prove me wrong though.
  • sabiiine · 6 months ago
    leighton meester rocks ! ):
  • Gabe Saporta · 6 months ago
    yeah, hello!? blair waldorf is on the phone, she wants to do a song with you.
    like hello, i'm in there like swimwear.
    it's no secret that i'm a huge gossip girl fan.
    i got to do a song with queen B!!!!!
    i go coco!
  • Erin · 6 months ago
    dude! leighton meester is amazing.
    and so talented!
    and so gorgeous!
    and an amazing actress!
    and the best blair waldorf ever!
  • Monica Saraiva · 6 months ago
    Hahaha. I love you. And your crazy fan girl...boy..ness. :)
  • sabiiine · 6 months ago
    is true that she haves a sex tape ? i mean,u put leighton bad ! :P
  • sabiiine · 6 months ago
    omfg gabe,every day i like you more ! gossip girl is so good,i dreamed with you and leighton,the day i read that leighton would make a song with you i died,really ! *-*
  • PunkRockPrincess · 6 months ago
    wtf even if u think leighton cant sing shit she is still blair waldorf....and you know how much gabe loves her and was so happy to work with her. even if you didnt like the song you shouldve thought about how gabe was able to make one of his dreams come true and make her sing a song with cobra..part of being a fan is to see the artists you support thrive and be happy. its not all about what they do for you. they are ppl too so its too bad that you couldnt enjoy the song like the rest of us but that very song is what put cobra into the top 40 so like it or not you still have to thank leighton for contributing to cobras success. and if u dont like the album art then buy it on itunes or something so u dont have to look at the cover and if u havent liked the songs so far from the album then i dont know what else advice i can give other than find some other artist to support cause clearly most of what u just said shows otherwise..
  • Sarah · 6 months ago
    not gonna lie gabe, i definitely thought the album cover would be a little more classy.
  • PunkRockPrincess · 6 months ago
    when has cobra ever been associated with being classy lol.
  • amandork · 6 months ago
    cobra starship are a lot of things but i dont think 'classy' has ever been one of them homie
  • ThatsWhatSheSaid · 6 months ago
    classy? classy is too safe. safe is boring.

    :o)
  • Sarah · 6 months ago
    well why not put something about std's on the cover then.
  • ThatsWhatSheSaid · 6 months ago
    lol because std's are a little more than a hot mess.
  • djsarXD · 6 months ago
    yeah me too.
  • theselines · 6 months ago
    Oh dear Lord.
  • djsarXD · 6 months ago
    wow that's crazyyyy!! i really like it. can't wait to hear it. but i don't think my mom will be happy with that picture... but i don't care.... i'm so buying it!!!!!
  • marissa · 6 months ago
    LOL, MAD PROPS TO HER FOR THAT.
    though, tbh, having "HOT MESS" on my
    lip wouldn't be too bad...
    can't wait to buy the album and listen to it for eight weeks straight.
    ;D
  • Gabelicious · 6 months ago
    Are you serious about the cover art? Mhmm I'm not quite sure what I should think about it but I'm stoked for the record anyway, it's the music at least isn't it?! ;)
  • Krizt3n · 6 months ago
    did she come up w/ the tat or did u guys just keep giving her money till she did it lls

    the cover deff makes sense tho *:]
  • kayla · 6 months ago
    i'm scared. like freaked. what happened to you gabe? or maybe a cobra? i'm not a fan
    excited for the cd, but i'm turning over the cover
  • deannaurie · 6 months ago
    Quite clever!
    I cannot wait until the album is out!!!!
    Cobra music is always awesome!
  • sabiiine · 6 months ago
    I prefer viva la cobra cover ): i want you with a tatoo on the cover,gabe !
  • Michele · 6 months ago
    Yes, I agree it would be hotter if it was the exact cover but with GABE all hot & wet (and those crazy press on nails, oh no!!) LOL
  • sabiiine · 6 months ago
    YEAH ! omfg,gabe change the cover ! ):
  • kaiitlynn · 6 months ago
    yes! you should change it like that! :)
  • PunkRockPrincess · 6 months ago
    lol that cover would be epic.

    same!
    I have no idea what half the people are saying on here!
    I'm just assuming :|
  • Hannaliese · 6 months ago
    haha Gabe, I'll be honest, I strongly dislike the album cover, I may have to hide it in my closet, but I'll still buy the cd, if the whole cd doesn't have this vibe.
    Still can't wait :]
  • sabiiine · 6 months ago
    yeah,my mom hated the cover ):.
  • Hannaliese · 6 months ago
    I understand, too. The more I look at it, the more disgusted I get.
    It also looks kind of...messy. Cheap, I guess.
    I'd prefer something more structured, esp. with the name.
    It looks like a 10 year old put it together :/

    /rant done.
  • sabiiine · 6 months ago
    I prefer the good girls go bad cover :x
  • Hannaliese · 6 months ago
    Yes, lets trade. This one can be good girls go bad and good girl's go bads can be hot mess.
    I find it really akward im being texted and good girls go bad is my ringtone.
    But yeah, I strongly dislike it. It sends bad vibes across. Deffintely gets rid of the people who buy it cause it has a cool cover. i'v seen quite a few of those kind of people/
  • sabiiine · 6 months ago
    I totally agree with that ! I prefer a thousand times a cover with Gabe (or Ryland lol )...I will buy the CD anyway,but I feel bad about the cover );
  • PunkRockPrincess · 6 months ago
    yes i really think the GGGB cover is better and can still be interpreted as being a hot mess at the same time. i vote for a switch too but either way i'm still buying the album no matter what cover is on it.
  • Charlvanti · 6 months ago
    Total respect to Bim
    so stoked for this album now, keep hyping it up =]
  • mariella · 6 months ago
    I wonder how many girls are going to tattoo hot mess on their lips now ha.

  • Deidre · 6 months ago
    this is so similar to Viva la Cobra cover though
  • Hannaliese · 6 months ago
    Now that you pointed it out, your right! Same not showing the face, holding something, same sort of body posture, i get that.
    D:
  • Nicole · 6 months ago
    oh wow, it really is. o_O
    didnt notice until you said that.
  • PunkRockPrincess · 6 months ago
    lol it sort of is only viva cover was hotter cause it was gabey.
  • appia · 6 months ago
    these nails make me very happy. actually just the fact that there's a cover is making it that much more real to me. the whole thing is gorgeous, and i'm SO EXCITED to hear this album already. as far as i'm concerned, august can't come soon enough. :) have fun tonight. after all this excitement around y'all guys, you definitely deserve it!
  • sabiiine · 6 months ago
    she has a piercing below the nose? wow.
  • hkylene87 · 6 months ago
    yeah that doesnt look very comfortable...I know that the piercing of that skin between your gums & top lip is called a smiley, but not sure what one would be. lol
  • justine · 6 months ago
    i just listened to jaguar love right now but it confuses me because they don't sound like the blood brothers and i want them to.
  • mmseb · 6 months ago
    huh.
  • hahanichole · 6 months ago
    why
  • xshara · 6 months ago
    wet, colorful, slightly hot, hella trashy.

    pretty much everything i've come to expect with cobra starship.

    well definitely catch people's eye in the stores, though whether it's negatively or positively is debatable.
  • Gabe Saporta · 6 months ago
    definitely negative. we're not exactly a bastion of moral convention
  • ilikeyellowlemons · 6 months ago
    so I just learnt a new word....bastion :)
    cheers for that!
  • oliviaxnicolee · 6 months ago
    unlike a lot of people, my mom would be totally okay for me to have this album laying around.
    STOKED XD
  • Daaniela · 6 months ago
    I really don't wanna lie you, but Is not my favorite one :/ But can't deny that's really hot :)

    My birthday is 7/7, awesome!
    I love the artwork, its so colourful; I can't wait to hear this.
    Well done on the top40 by the way/

    PS my mum saw this artwork, and now wants a tattoo on her lip. If you ask me, this is non-parent appropriate artwork, you are corrupting their minds and should be ashamed.
  • xVictoriax · 6 months ago

  • Deidre · 6 months ago

    no, seriously, thank you, i love pissing my mom off =] and what better way to do it then with good music? hahha
  • Sam · 6 months ago
    ehh, not feeling the album cover but who gives a fuck, I'm going to preorder the fuck out this album.
  • Michelle · 6 months ago
    Oh gosh. -_-
  • Nikki · 6 months ago
    I would say this is the definition of Hot Mess. I think it is a gnarly album cover despite what everyone else says!
  • Lacey · 6 months ago
    i really really really LOVE it! really fits the album title. obviously. haha. there are only a few things that i think could look better. haha. like how the nails are super bright and the text is sort of pastel. so ill just go photoshop that better and use that on itunes :) sorry im sort of ocd. http://tinyurl.com/hotmessac
  • brianna · 6 months ago
    oh wow. i actually like that muuuch better. funny how a change so small could make such a significant difference... or atleast it does for me.
  • Lacey · 6 months ago
    haha thanks :)
  • the_willz · 6 months ago
    it has to grow on me... it's a nice concept but i don't like it.
    either way i'm getting it :)
    GGGB video next monday !!!!

    fangs up!!!
  • Sandarp · 6 months ago
    FUCK I'M DISAPPOINTED! :(

    The only cobra-esque thing about the cover is the title and that's pushing it....I was hoping for something better.

    Anywho, can't wait to hear the music, not sure if I would buy the album GRRR, I srsly hope you guys were pulling our fuckin' leg haha :[
  • alex_IDGAF · 6 months ago
    Well, the cover certainly fits the album title.
    All I could think when I saw it was, "Wow, this definitely is a hot mess..."

    But hey, the tattoo is bitchin' and I don't doubt the music will be too.
  • brianna · 6 months ago
    um bit too much of a hot mess for me. but oh well, I'm still gonna buy it.
    my mom already saw the album cover & just thinks it's dumb... but she already knows about you guys, I blasted cobra on my 17th birthday bash thing. their faces were priceless at first... they've come to accept my taste in music now haha.
  • carolwitha_lyn · 6 months ago
    Well, me being a girl and thinking the album cover is sexy might be strange to some of you, but hell, it's a flipping COVER. What really matters is the music inside. It's corny but true. Jeez, some of you, I think, or just too plain shallow.
  • LakeEffectKid · 6 months ago
    i agree. and im a design student hoping to make money from designing cover art! haha
    i think its very cobra.
  • carolwitha_lyn · 6 months ago
    Ha, and to think the first commenter would be some little girl bitching at me. Life loves me (sometimes). xD
    Nice, well good luck with your career! I kind of wanted to be a graphic designer a little while ago, but then realized, "Hey, I suck at art!" So, I kind of dropped that.
    Cobra is the shit. I couldn't honestly care if the next album cover was a clear jewel case as long as the CD contained had music on it.
  • LakeEffectKid · 6 months ago
    well put.
    :)
  • carolwitha_lyn · 6 months ago
    Gracias :)
  • LakeEffectKid · 6 months ago
    i have a friend who has REBEL tattooed inside his lip just like this so i had to laugh when i saw this xD i guess more people get lip tattoos than i thought!

    rad.

    i see youre going for a theme of the showing half a face and a necklace thing? first viva and now this?
  • Lacey · 6 months ago
    hahah! yeah i have a friend that has "insert tongue here" tattooed there. i was like, oh god. you totally cant tell though unless its pulled down like that. but still!
  • emshrb · 6 months ago
    Well it's no "Griller"...
  • fueledbyellen · 6 months ago
    hahahahah that's a hot mess.
  • Kristen · 6 months ago
    I don't love the cover but I don't see a need to totally bash Gabe because some moms won't like it. Who cares. I mean when I hear "Hot Mess" I think of crazy shit and a lot of color so i think the cover fits the album. But it's really about the music and the band, not the album cover. Btw this girl's nails are fierce as hell!
  • amberwaves · 6 months ago
    Do you realize, Gabe, how your "normal" fans, the regular girls who go to school and college and work, and buy your shit, do you know what it feels like to be a regular chick and see a girl like Bim or Jac or Audrey or Hannah Beth elevated and glorified for their behavior? No, I guess you wouldn't think about that, since you're just a big ol' SQ yourself, aren't you?
  • Gabe Saporta · 6 months ago
    what's an SQ?
    a square?
    yeah i can be nerdy sometimes.
    i don't understand what you are saying about Bim?
  • ???? · 6 months ago
    soggy queer????

    salacious goose???????
  • Lacey · 6 months ago
    urban dictionary said sound quality, silly question, and scene queen. i think shes reffering to scene queen b/c shes talking about hannah beth and Audrey kitching.
    either way this post really doesnt make much sense to me. well actually i think i sort of get it but ive sat here for about 25 minutes rereading it trying to understand what shes trying to say.

    I think this is what shes trying to say:
    Do you know what it feels like to be a "normal" fan, a regular girl who goes to school and college and work, and buys your shit and see a girl like Bim or Jac or Audrey or Hannah Beth elevated and glorified for their behavior? No, I guess you wouldn't think about that, since you're just a big ol' SQ yourself, aren't you?

    anyways this made me laugh:
    Oh, and 99.9% of them have sidekicks.
    it was a part of the definition for scene queen
  • PunkRockPrincess · 6 months ago
    yea she definitely meant scene queen. i get what she is saying and i half agree that i can do without seeing them being "glorified" for their behavior but at the same time why should gabe think about that they are his friends...and seriously its just a cover showing a hot mess. its not like they all sat down contemplating and analyzing how they can glorify these girls even more to put the rest of us down. and hes not a scene queen he's a princess :) scroll up for photographic proof ^_^
  • Lily♥ · 6 months ago
    LOL! SQ!
    i thought it was square too!'

    hot nails.

    i have fond memories of seeing midtown and river city high many years ago, you guys should come back to central florida this tour and I'll try and hit you up.
  • Gabe Saporta · 6 months ago
    ahhhh! river city high! those were the days/ :)
  • Fangsta · 6 months ago
    First thing I noticed is.. her nails are the shit. I'm jealous. :(
    Second, her necklace is fuckin' rad.

    And third. Her oil'd up body is very hot, and very messy. ;P

    I was gonna say something clever about how stoked I am for August 11th, but all I could think of is I'm gonna pee my pants with excitement. Oh well. <3

    but srsly though. I don't like the cover either but I don't think the songs are going to be crap just because the cover is a little...off?
    Have a little faith, guys.
  • PunkRockPrincess · 6 months ago
    if its any of the stuff we heard accidently on cobracam then it is definitely gonna be a great album :)
  • uhhh...ann. · 6 months ago
    Erm... Can I ask a really honest question?
    Why this cover... Where did it come from?
    Is it meant to be taken literally or is it a joke?
    (please say joke...)
    Um... And how does Victoria feel about it?
    I will be upfront with you, Gabe, I do not like it at all. But I mean, I don't know if my vote counts haha...
    I don't know... Just... Can you promise me the music makes up for it? I've been waiting for this for a loooooooooooong time...
    And haha I guess that was more than one question... :)
  • Gabe Saporta · 6 months ago
    victoria is very upset because she was hoping the cover would be a photo of ryland lighting his farts on fire.
  • Lauren · 6 months ago
    Now THAT would be an album cover!
  • uhhh...ann. · 6 months ago
    you are right.
    that would probably be the best cover of all time.
    THANKS FOR UPSETTING ME GABE BECAUSE THATS NOT WHAT IT IS NOW!
    geesh.

    oh man, i want that cover.
  • brianna · 6 months ago
    hahaha. man, now that cover i would be excited to see! just as long as it had atleast ONE of the band members... I guess that's my main beef with it. either band members or no real people on album covers.
  • PunkRockPrincess · 6 months ago
    hahaha now that would be an awesome cover. i vote for this and side with vicky t on this one ^_^
  • erica · 6 months ago
    it's... interesting. but no matter what the album cover is i'm def buying it!:)

    my mom probably won't pre-order it for me though. i already just got an itunes card, a glamour kills shirt, and i pre-ordered all time low's album from GK. so my parents are broke now. :\
    LOL:)
  • Kaitlyn · 6 months ago
    I think its just going to take a while for some people to like. It usally happens like that, they hate it at first but get to love it. Same old story.
    Personally, I think it fits the name of the album 'Hot Mess' and if people's parents don't like it then they can go over to the Itunes store and buy it. And if they don't like that then delete the cover art! Its not that hard. Jeeze, its just a cover.

    Its creative people, get over it.

  • Maya · 6 months ago
    Sorry... but she looks like a HOU... just after she finish here work
  • Mell_E · 6 months ago
    I love her nails, the tattoo is awesome, the font for 'cobra starship' is rad, and I would just love to steal that necklace from her neck. <3

    But to be completely honest I'm not really digging this cover. I wish I could, but the graphic designer in me is screaming. I was really hoping this cover would have all the cobrahs on it. (Maybe put you guys on the back so I can flip it?)

    It doesn't matter though. I will buy this CD and judging by the two songs you've already put out, I will love it and all will be well. ;) I'm so excited for it! <3
  • vivalame · 6 months ago
    that's a sexy ass cover !
    not as sexy as you gaaabe!
  • shnikesgrl12892 · 6 months ago
    I actually like it. :P I like the colors and I don't think it's inappropriate, but I was raised by a buncha hippies so wtf do i know? The album cover represents its' name perfectly. It's a hot mess.
    viva la cobra!!
  • xstephyxrawrx · 6 months ago
    gabe...gabe, gabe, gabe...this is a very bad cover for a cd...if my dad, or my stepmom saw this...they would go on a very big, ridiculously huge rant about how this type of music is very bad and very inapropriate for a young lady as myself... and break the cd case and rip the lyric book... my mom? she would just go, "que es esta cochinada!?" ( what is this shit in spanish ) and do the same thing as my rent and step rent...
  • Lily♥ · 6 months ago
    LOL!
    i was thinking the same thing.
    I don"t mind the cover! but Im going to get a earful from the rents!
  • UmhiimRawr · 6 months ago
    Ew.

    When I first heard the name of the album, I gagged. Hot Mess? That's horribly unoriginal. I decided that the cover art would probably make up for it. Sadly, I was disappointed yet again.

    Unoriginal name + ugly-ass cover art = blehz. The new songs are a little upsetting too.

    Please make me proud. I know you can do better than you've been doing lately. This is worse than the Jonas Brothers' new song Poison Ivy... trust me, that's pretty bad.

    MY GOD BUT SERIOUSLY. You're Cobra fucking Starship. And all you could come up with was Hot Mess? The ideas you guys came up with as jokes were ten times better, at least. Please... just make sure you're making the right decisions. I don't know what to expect from this band anymore.
  • Gabe Saporta · 6 months ago
    are you serious? do you think Viva La Cobra was a more creative name? at least this ties in a theme
  • Loochh · 6 months ago
    i think everyone went on a rampage when viva la cobra came out and changed cobra to add their name in XD

    you wrote viva la katie on the back of my friend's ipod :D she was all happy.
    snippet of info :)
  • a-nicole · 6 months ago
    i'm like, kinda peeved you put Cobras and JoBros on the same map.
    completely different musical map. non-comparable in my book.

    lol i love CS but Viva La Cobra wasn't orginal either...People viva la EVERYTHING now a days
    so if that's your argument...it's not strong
    ALSO, could you come up with something better?
    and CS doesn't rly have to make you proud, either. they just have to keep doin what they do best and you can get with it or get lost.
    haters get no love

    But then again, it's a Cobra creation.. could any less be expected?
  • gloworm · 6 months ago
    Okie. I really don't like the album cover. She looks sweaty and gross. Also i couldn't even tell it was her lip. She looks like she is biting into like a hot saus packet or something. I didn't know at ALL untill I read the description. and all I see is her cleavage................ herm.

    video is cool.
  • Alicia · 6 months ago
    Don't listen the kids who don't like your album cover...if your likes the cover, is what matters, is your band, then it is your decision, Well, that's what I think

    in my personal opinion, I like the cover, it's so CS, I want a necklace like that..and I love her fingernails! ^.^

    by the way..I like the name of the new album ;D

    long live to cobraa!!!

  • gloworm · 6 months ago
    LMAO i just realised one of my first thought when seeing that photo was "Sigh... well when i buy the alnum I'll just have to turn the cover art around" HAHA that was a serious thought. ugh. I can't handle this picture. it grosses me out...... like a lot. I like the one with the chick standing on a passed out gabe. That was gross in a funny way. This is just gross..... in a sweaty, nasty tatto hair sticking to her cleavage way.

    *shudders*
  • TheNewSlickRick · 6 months ago

  • Taylor Lynneee · 6 months ago
    wow, i don't know why people are making such a big deal about the cover.

    when i see this, i totally think Cobra Starship. Plus, Hot Mess = totally this cover. by the way, her nails and necklace, totally rad.

    and Cobra Starship isn't a band that moms would really like in the first place, so this cover wouldn't exactly make a difference.

    can't wait for the album, Gabe (: it's gonna be amazing as always.
  • KissMySass567 · 6 months ago
    I agree with you :)
  • resbruscato · 6 months ago
    It's kinda funny when I read the comments, because there are two different opinions here. Some people think that it's really gross, when on the other hand, other people just loved it! I have to admit that my first tought was: "Oh shit, what the hell is that?" But then I looked again, and again, and I though: "Damn, they got me! This is such a Hot Mess!" You really did it. The messy part is that it's kinda gross, but it's really hot! After all, it's a Cobra Starship album! I wouldn't expect less from you, guys. Congratulations.
  • Alicia · 6 months ago
    Ohhh c'mon kids, I don't know how to say it in English, so I'll say in Spanish haha

    no juzguen a un libro por su portada, well its like 'don't judge a book by its cover'

    maybe you don't like the cover, but the songs of the new album, will be awesome...if is CS so is great! :D

    I like the song of the Plasticines, they have rhythm!

  • HauntMe42 · 6 months ago
    As a Graphic Designer...well, in training...I'd have to say it's cool. I mean, i like it okay. It's not exactly what I would have designed, but that tat is freaking sweet! It works well, i really like the tat as i said, and how the nail decor ties in with the color of the letters. The words are really the only thing that go with the first two album covers...which kind of is sad...cuz i really liked the style of the first two covers. Actually, i take that back. The second album was Gabe in one of his hoodies...which looked a lot like this...necklace and all. It has the same feel too. So it's not that out there for the band to come up with this. It would have been cool to see something a tad bit more...new. Oh well. It's still a good band. Hopefully...lol, just kidding. Fangs up!
  • AnaClara · 6 months ago
    I don't know if i LOVE the new album cover, but i really like it. Maybe i was expecting something else, i don't know. Anywayssssss

    Im exited for this record, even if is NOT going to get here, Uruguay might be beautiful but we suck when it comes on music albums, specially of fbr/decaydance bands.

    Ohh i saw that video the other day, soo good :)
  • Kaitlyn · 6 months ago
    Wow you guys, most of you said "Oh i've supported you guys all the way" on the post about making the Top 40. Where has that support gone?
    If you guys were good fans you would try to accept it, yea its different. But think about it the album is called Hot Mess.
    If you don't think its appropiate then just do everyone a favor and shut up. Its Cobra Starship were talking about, there not the most appropiate band out there. This is what they like so shut up and deal with it. [:
  • TheNewSlickRick · 6 months ago
    harsh much?
    Just because people don't like the cover, doesn't mean they don't support Cobra.
  • Kaitlyn · 6 months ago
    I never said "You don't support them now"
  • Faith · 6 months ago
    That's what came across...
  • Kaitlyn · 6 months ago
    Well i didn't say that. I was just pointing out that you guys should be more supportive over this than saying "This sucks" 'cause obviously they like it and it probably hurts them having every fan saying that.
  • brianna · 6 months ago
    haha i may be off-base but I really don't think they care...
    they've said all along they do things for themselves & if people don't like it then they can get over it. I would be surprised if they did care (NOT saying they don't care about their fans... so don't even go there).
    but anyways I HAVE supported them all the way & will continue to but still... I don't like the cover & have a right to voice that. :]
  • ajay · 6 months ago
    the notion of being a 'good fan' is totally whack my friend.

    i think the cover pretty much sucks a dick, but it doesnt make me any less of a fan of their music than someone who likes it.


    regardless, i wish people would STFU about how 'inappropriate' the cover is. when have the cobras EVER been appropriate?
  • ... · 6 months ago
    I spy you from northerndownpour.

    But to oppose to waht your saying, yeah i'vbeen supporting them, but im going to strongly dislike this cover, because well I do. This is not something we're going to want to look at every time we grab the cd to see. It's overly hidious and well... as far as im concerned, i haven't really heard much positive about it.
  • Kaitlyn · 6 months ago
    All i was trying to say was we could be a little more positive about it.
    And yea, maybe i shoulda put it in nicer words and said it differently and im sorry but everyone shouldn't really be this rude you know?
  • Punkrose33 · 6 months ago
    I know everybody's a critic and don't get me wrong, I like the cover. Its very 2 Live Crew-esque. Instead of 4 girls and their bubble butts on display its one moist girl with her biddies half out. However, I still think it would have been a more cohesive idea to have had the fab cobra five on the cover looking like hot messes. But whatevs, maybe that's just me.

    P.S. I'm not really expecting a reply but I'm gonna address the pink internet elephant in the room. Gabe, whose side are you on? Perez's side or Will-i-am's side? Was it an act of unwarranted violence or was it some weird form of karmic justification for what went down at the Black Eyed Peas' Album Release Party? Inquiring minds are dying to know. O simplemente todo este rollo de chismes te vale madre? Let us know. ;)
  • TheNewSlickRick · 6 months ago
    haha. I really want to know too!

    I'm gonna cross my fingers and hope he replies. If not, I hope I made him laugh just a little. :)

    yo, i dont know what happened!? sorry i'm out of the loop. just have had my head buried in finishing this record for the past week. what happened!?!?!
  • Kaleigh · 6 months ago
    Apparently Will.i.am and some of BEP's security beat up Perez Hilton at some afterparty (the club was named Cobra... coincidence?) There's some more info here: http://www.rollingstone.com/rockdaily/index.php...
  • Gabe Saporta · 6 months ago
    no shit! thats crazy. cant believe the club was called cobra!!
  • Kaleigh · 6 months ago
    I guess anything related to cobras ends up being scandalous? :) So what are your thoughts on the whole thing? Pretty nuts.(ps I second Punkrose33, did something go down at the BEP party? haha)
  • Punkrose33 · 6 months ago
    Haha, karma is something ain't it.
  • Loochh · 6 months ago
    perez blamed will.i.am as i saw his tweets when he posted them. then all the reports say he was blaming bep's manager.
    i used to listen to black eyed peas before cobra starship so more respect to will.i.am than perez cas he was always my favourite :$
    haha

    and perez left tweets being nasty about travie which kinda upset me :/
  • Punkrose33 · 6 months ago
    Yeah, I thought the same thing too. One thing had nothing to do with the other. His comments towards Travie were just completely unnecessary.
  • Punkrose33 · 6 months ago

    it's the music that counts you guys still get my love for being the motherfucking coolest band ever!
  • briannnaa · 6 months ago
    OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG I LOVEE THISS <3 AND I LOVE YOU GUYS!
  • Whatsername · 6 months ago
    To be honest, the cover would be great minus the grease and the hair sticking to her boobs. That's what makes it gross. But yeah, her nails are fierce and the tat is a good way to show the album name. The color of the words do need some touching up, they look a little drab. I showed my mom, and she didn't like it, but she didn't flip out, she's used to my music taste. I think you should note that the cover is misleading as to what type of music you make, and it is really the music that counts. Just be careful, guys, you may get a fanbase you aren't looking for. I think griller and tha ryland III were better, imo lol. But whatever, it isn't as bad on second look. I love PWITORWF and Good Girls Go Bad, but just don't lose your City sleeps sound. I love you guys so much, and congrats on making the top 40.
  • Gabe Saporta · 6 months ago

  • Mel · 6 months ago
    This cover is ridiculous. I mean, I get that its supposed to coincide with the album but, in all honesty, all I see is the mess and not the hott factor. You guys could have done better than this, most definitely. Hell, I could have done better than this and all I have is fucking MS Paint on my computer.

    Hopefully the album is better than the cover.
  • KissMySass567 · 6 months ago
    You guys the Cover isnt that bad stop making it such a big fucking deal if this is what the band likes hen let them keep it as there cover i think its creative and all im excited about is the great dope ass music inside the case .. because cobra rocks and everyone should stop making fun of the cover because its not bad at all you guys are just not good fans if all you care about is the album cover.. Hot Mess will be a best selling album for years !!
  • JC · 6 months ago
    My initial reaction to seeing your album cover was kneejerk upset, but I took a walk and let it simmer to figure out why I was bothered. A few hours later, and what it comes down to, for me, is that I think the album artwork is disappointing. It's another something out there that seems to champion the degradation of young girls, and more specifically, girls interested and/or participatory in this scene. Thousandth verse; same as the first, you know?

    It's also racially coded. I'm a fan of color, and I think I can count on one hand the number of times I feel like this scene has acknowledged my existence, participation, and loyalty to the music and bands within your network. I do have to give you credit for representing and giving it up to Latino folks who show up, dance, and buy in. That's awesome and much appreciated, but it still bugs me that of those few times I've ever felt even marginally acknowledged and included in this scene, racially, it's part of an image not at all meant to be respected.

    I get the joke. I saw one of Cobra's first shows. I've read your blogs, etc. I get it; I'm into it. It's why I stood in line for the basement in first place, but what makes Cobra work most (again, for me) is when you include yourselves in the joke, whereas this image, especially as an introduction to the new album/sound/chapter from Cobra, is something that feels exclusionary. The cover doesn't indicate to me that we're all ridiculous together so much as it's saying, hey, here's exactly who we're making fun of, and I can't lie, it kind of sucks to have people I respect make the same kind of joke that more mainstream media makes every day. I mean, ultimately, I also just think you guys have way more cleverness in you, so why settle for something old-hat and vaguely offensive?

    I don't mean any disrespect, and I know the new songs are going to be as layered and fun as usual. I also don't mean to insinuate anything about Bim as a person. I've seen other pictures of her, and I think she's a beautiful girl, and I'm excited to hear her on the album. I just wanted to get it out there why this specific image-as-introduction to 'Hot Mess' rubs me the wrong way.
  • Gabe Saporta · 6 months ago
    i appreciate what you;re saying, but i think you're taking it waaaaaayyyy too seriously.
    cobras is about letting go , having fun, and not getting so heavy (even though sometimes, it cant be avoided) - but seriously, for an album called Hot Mess? what do you expect ? our first album had a girl about to lick a very phallic looking cobra. i'm not saying it's wrong or right. but i'm just sayig taht there is definitely a precedent for offensiveness in cobras. also, as a latino and an immigrant, i think it sucks that minorities aren't more represented in this scene. and i'm very proud to see how many latinos and african americans and otehr minorities come out to our shows. i'm not saying that there aren't minorities at other shows, but i feel like cobra shows are definitely more of a melting pot. teh race thing has nothing to do with the cover. but if you were going to think about that, i think it's better to think of it as breaking down boundaries rather than creating them.
  • JayDay182 · 6 months ago
    the "offensiveness" in cobras is awesome! lol it shows just how much of a shit you guys give--none. i love itt!
    and Im latina, and i get weird looks from my other latina friends when i mention how much i love punk rock or poppunk, cuz they all listen to spanish rap, which is awesome, but i just dont like it as much as i like the other stuff.
  • vegas · 6 months ago
    dude me 2!
    my mom makes fun of me cause while shes listening to Juanes and RIcky Martin and salsa and such, im litening to Cobra Starship and Fall Out Boy and such. and reggaeton is cool, but i like my punk music XD
  • JayDay182 · 6 months ago
    my mom doesnt really say anything, she just kinda looks at me funny when i blast my music, lol
    and while shes listning to ricky martin, like ur mom, ive got my headphones in listening to Blink 182, The Matches, Cobra, Green Day, and All Time Low lol
  • Ashley · 6 months ago
    I am Latina too and I had some punk music on for fathers day and my mom was like why are we listening to this. My dad loves it but my mom would rather listen to Enrique Iglesias lol. Don't get me wrong I do love my bachata, reggaeton, salsa and merengue.
    I think it is great to have a Latino successful in punk music and to see more minorities involved. I am going to a concert in July and none of my friends listen to the same music but my best friend agreed to go with me. I played her the music and she was like "great I am going to be the only black person there" I was laughing so hard but it seems like the crowds are getting a little more diverse at least I hope they are.
    On another note I love the cover. I don't understand how it is offensive. But hey there is always someone, somewhere who is going to take offense to something.
  • JayDay182 · 6 months ago
    i know, i LOVE raggaeton, but, i get tired of the stereotypes that that is all im supposed to listen to, i LOVE punk music, its amazing =) and i especialy love Cobra, cuz ya kow, its amazing music, and Gabe is latino =], and i love hearing spanish worked into punkpop music, you just dont see that very often
    and i agree, having a latino sicessful in punk music is awesome :)

    i dont understand how the cover is offensive either, i mean, it is a little weird, but its no better than blink 182's enema of the state album cover lol. i dont undertsand why ppl are gettin uptight about it, this is cobra starship, whatd you expect? a fluffy litttle bunny? c'mon now, if anyone has ever met Gabe, or at least knows his personality, youd know thats not happening lol
  • Alexish · 6 months ago
    Am i missing something? I honestly dont understand in any way this cover could be THAT offensive. my first reaction to seeing it was somewhat happy to see someone of color :) being an (african american) Cobra Starship fan, its the little things like this that make me happy. ♥

  • Lacey · 6 months ago
    it doesnt make any sense to say like my mom would be so mad at me! or its really inappropriate because all of cobras stuff is inappropriate, so it shouldnt come as such a shock to you. i mean if you want to complain about how you think its gross or it couldve been better, im sure Gabe and the rest of Cobra respects your opinion. but if your complaining that its inappropriate it doesnt make much sense to be a fan really. imo. sorry if this sounds harsh. idk if you even get what im saying. but whatever. virtual bitch slap me.

    in my opinion everyone really needs to stop complaining.. they could make the album cover way worse and half some naked chick on here. ok the girl is a defintion of a hot mess. thats what the album is called. a hot mess looks like that. i don't think cobra really cares what your parents think. they didn't make music for your parents. if your parents don't approve of this then how the hell do they approve of the song good girls go bad? jfc. seriously. mmk i'm done with this rant.

    It stands out, and will make people think, "Hey I think I want to listen to this Cobra Starship..." lol
    :D
    Oooh the Plastiscines new record came out today, I liked it a lot.

    Anyway I hope the new record sells, and I think it will, and I don't care what the album art is, I want to buy it now. lol. :D

    The cover looks terrible.
  • Gabe Saporta · 6 months ago
    aw. :( that hurts my feelings. :(
    ps, just got back from the plasticines show! A.Mazing.
  • frayed_ends · 6 months ago
    Aw, I'm sorry and I guess that did come off a bit harsh. Anyways, I still don't like the cover, but it doesn't make me less excited to hear the album or anything.
    And I'm glad that you had fun last night :) I just watched the video up there & it's different from most music that I like but I enjoyed it.
  • JayDay182 · 6 months ago
    hey Gabe! guess what! this will make u feel better, i guess, maybe, not really, depends on whether u like Family Guy or not...lol
    w/e
    Cobra Starship had a reference to it on Family Guy! idk how old this is or if its new, but i just caught it like two seconds ago lol
    the Griffin's were stating a family band and peter was listing off random names and he goes "Peter Griffin Starship?" i heard that and started laughing really hard, i dont evn know why,
    haha, i know, im such a dork =P lol
  • fuqwhatyouknow · 6 months ago
    lol that wasnt a cobra reference. that ep is old as hell and i think they were referring to jefferson starship (somethign like that) def. not cobra.
  • Loochh · 6 months ago
    NO WAY! whoa, so got to find that on youtube ;D

    i'm a dork too, dw. off goes the sad girl to find it on youtube (Y)
  • meganonthetrain · 6 months ago
    Gabe,

    I don’t think that Kelsey would purposely hurt your feelings or anyone’s feelings. I know that she was just telling you how she truly felt.

    We both love you and wish you the best! That’s why we gave you this awesome card: http://www.friendsorenemies.com/web/foe/videos/...

    Good luck with whatever you do next…

    -Megan
  • frayed_ends · 6 months ago
    Best birthday card ever, just sayin'.
  • meganonthetrain · 6 months ago
    I would have to agree!
  • JayDay182 · 6 months ago
    GABE!
    Micheal Jackson just died today, from overdosing on drugs.
    gabe, i know you drink a lot, and my friend and i were talking
    theres been 3 celebrity deaths in the past two days or so, we were thinking about who it could be next, and it kept coming back to you
    im afraid that im gunna wake up one day and see on myspace a blog post, or on twitter a tweet from Suarez, Pete Wentz or VickyT saying that you were a dumbass and got behind the wheel drunk, and you got in an accident. shit happens Gabe, i dont want it to happen to you
    now i know ur probably smart enuf not to drive when ur drunk, but when u drink, you dont really think properly do you?
    and im afraid ill hear that YOU overdosed on something.
    or that you sumhow had the idea that percoset and Vodka Red Bull mixes well, it doesnt.
    i dont want to see that happen to you

    Please reply, im worried.
    love from a big ass cobra fan,
    Jerelyn
  • JayDay182 · 6 months ago
    btw, im not trying to make you anoyed or, disrespect you in anyway, my friend and i are just worried. we're not the pricks you usualy get saying "drinking is bad dont do it blah blah blah ima tool ima tool i am a big fat fucking tool!"
    we're honestly worried, Gabe
    and drinking isnt bad, driking excessively is, again im not saying stop doing it, or that ur a bad person for it, ur NOT!
    its just, Cobra means a lot to Rose and I, it makes me REALLY proud to be a Latina who listends to poppunk and punkrock, and seeing a Latino successful in this scene really makes me proud and really happy! and you make Rose really proud to be jewish and a vegitarian, you and your music mean a lot to both of us, and we just want you to understand how devastated we would both be if sumthing happened to you, so just be careful, please? =}

    again im not trying to get you to stop, i know you wont no matter what i say, im just asking you to be really careful

    and i know the response im gunna get from you, and from fans
    ill get bitchy ones from fans,
    and from you itll most likely be "i appriciate ur concern, but really, im fine. im not an idiot, i know when to stop" or sumthing like that [[and again im not trying to disrespect you, im just saying what im expecting from what ive seen]]
    but i know you hear this alot, which is why im sorry im saying it, but Rose and i just felt it needed to be said, again,

    love from a big ass cobra fan

  • Gabe Saporta · 6 months ago
    so horrible about michael :(
    the saddest thing is that i'm sure being persecuted his whole life def took a toll on him... :(
    thank you for being worried about me.
    sometimes i worry about myself too.
    when i'm home, i'm fairly responsible, but touring is pretty hard, and sometimes i rely on alcohol too much... but we all do what we gotta do sometimes..
    just keep me in yr positive thoughts, and hopefully i'll be watched over...
    if not, at least mattbro's got my back/ ;)
    ok, i gotta go to sleep. i got a flight tomorrow morning for a well-deserved vacation.
    xo everyone.
  • JayDay182 · 6 months ago
    thank you for responding =]] lol
    i knoww, im still in so much shock that he died. i mean, look past the allegations and look at it musically, that guy was the best thing to have ever come to pop music, and its so sad we dont have that anymore.
    and i will keep u in my positive thoughts, and prayers =]]
    and have fun on ur vacation =]

    and another thing its like, im worried about my friend too cuz shes been turning into a mess, and she really looks up to you. i dont think shes copying you or anything, but i know that alot of the time she makes decisions based on what she sees her idols so, especialy you. like shes been expirimenting with alchohol a lot, and even tho we both know underage dinking is wrong, you make it look like fun, and i know it sounds corny, but kinda cool too, and i just really dont know what should do, and please know, im not blamin you, im blaming her for her bad choices, but i mean, we're both 14, and at 13, i had already had a past! and now im 14, and have stopped doing it cuz it was damaging my future, and i didnt want to do that, i just want to make her realize how she could be damaging her future like ive already damaged mine! i just dont know what to do, advice? please?

    btw, the Hot Mess cover,
    Nasty, Trashy, Offensive to my mother...I LOVE ITT!
    im totally buying =D
  • Flamingsword · 6 months ago
    I'm not good with moral values, so let's skip past the 'wrong' part and move on to the bit where you're worried about your friend. This part I can help with. All you can do is tell her what you see going on, ask her about the things you don't understand, and help her avoid danger. Demanding explanations or changes in your friend's destructive behavior won't change the behavior and can lose you the friend. I speak from experiences you probably don't want to repeat.

    If you make demands then people avoid you, if you say nothing they blame you later for not doing anything, and if you say that you worry but don't point out specific negative consequences that you foresee and then get your 'told you so' in when it goes down, then they think you're paranoid and ignore you. None of that is fun.

    The best tactic I've ever found is to help them, and I know that sounds like the opposite of a good idea, but bear with me. Help your friends do the stupid shit that they want to do, safely. Make them talk over the problem areas and the things that could go wrong, and work out back-up plans with them so that they aren't caught unawares when something goes wrong (and it will). It trains them into coming to you for help, which is it's own problem, but better than letting them do stupid shit without anyone looking out for them. After a while, it becomes less fun to do most of the dumb shit since someone has their back but is making them be responsible about it. It just becomes normal and can even be boring if you play your cards right.

    Good luck learning to be an alpha female. Best wishes for you and your friend!

    xo to you too.
  • Loochh · 6 months ago
    we all worry about you Gabe, but you're double my age and shit and so it's not really my place to say to stop doing something to a fully grown man. you can do things in whatever way you like. so just live how you want to live and if that involves alcohol, go for it. ;)

    besides, alcohol is good shit. it makes you do things that you wouldn't do when you're sober, ;D

    you seriously deserve a vacation. but come to UK again soon please, before we all bust a gut here!!

    yeah, it's messy, trashy + an explosion of patterns & colours.
    i like <3
  • Justyna · 6 months ago
    okay, i don't really get why cover is such a big deal for some of you. isn't it just a picture on a piece of paper? and your parents seriously care about things like that? wow, i'm suddenly glad i live in different country with different culture.
    ..still, i'm not saying i like the cover, its kinda.. blah. but i don't need to love everything the band does to love them.
    just my thoughts.
  • MikeyC · 6 months ago
    I've been checking this out since you first posted it, and keep coming back just to look at it, so I guess I'm hooked.

    This girl is so hot, and I'm loving the cobra jewellery range, although my friend bought one of the rings from merch and that shit is super sharp. It's puncture wound central. but I guess thats a good metaphor for the band, sexy with bite.

    I'm hoping you got a photo of her back, for the back cover, with the track-listing tattooed down her shoulder.
  • iAlex · 6 months ago
    really like the cover!
    that tattoo is sick
  • Guest · 6 months ago
    Hot.
  • XOXOHOTMESS · 6 months ago
    My initial thought was "oh no, please don't be another bad, hypersexualized, faceless image of women of color again." Then I looked at it more. Gabe said her name on his blog, giving her credit. Her nails and the tattoo look fierce. Basically she is hot and the album will be too. I dont think most people would say the cover looks nasty if it was a white girl with blonde hair. I am excited that there is a darker skinned woman on this cover. Honestly, it's really fucking awkward sometimes going to shows, being the only minority girl. I think it's cool that the cobras are being more inclusive, and yes, I think a simple image can do that.

    Peace out.
  • nick_downfall · 6 months ago

    Love you and the band, Gabe, but the cover just looks unprofessional... Use that other one, the one from your myspace that's all neon and has you guys on the cover.

    but then again, who is going to see this artwork anyway? Most of these kids - i hate to say it - will just download your album.

    But seriously, it does look a little dodgy... girl looks like she's got a hairy chest.
  • maike · 6 months ago

  • sabiiine · 6 months ago
    isn't unprofessional, is just a little strange...
  • Nicole · 6 months ago
    Well I'd totally love the cover if she wasn't all sweaty. LOL. But that's definitely some loyalty, getting that tattooed on your tongue! And her nails and the rest of the picture is awesome. It's the songs that really matter, though right? And I'm sure they'll be awesome. =).

    I wish I could go see perform live! I've never been to a concert before, mainly because no one interesting - scratch that, REMOTELY interesting, ever comes to Bangladesh.

    I'm not all that surprised this is the new album cover.
    I actually think this is sort of typical Cobra.
    Typical in the way that, it's unpredictable. If that makes any sense at all.

    And props to the girl. I'm all for tattoos but I couldn't imagine getting on on the inside of my lip.

    Gabe, I like it.

    dearest mr. saporta
    I'm going to be honest with you, I don't like the album cover, but I'm not going to judge you or anyone else about it, I'm not going to lie, maybe I will like it eventually but now I'm still shock about it. I hope the song will be sooo much better than the cover album, the important is what about the song right? I'm already fallin in love with GGGB and PWITORWF, so I'm expecting Hot Mess is another really great album by cobra starship and can't wait for buying it (whatever the cover will be I'm still buying it). and a salute for bim for allowing her lips getting tattoed for your new album .
    anyway congratulation for making the charts for the first time!!
    And thanks to you I love the Plasticines now, thanks Gabe!

    I really like watching girls play instruments..... partly b/c I'm learning how to play guitar!! It gets me pumped up. Thanks Gabe for introducing me to a new girly band! If only I lived in NY AND had money.

    I'm surprised the album wasn't called "Gabe is a Hot Mess" with his titties on the cover.... j/k!?!?!?

    Can't wait to hear the new album!

    Sorry, Gabe, but really? Is the impression you want to give off to new fans 'we are tacky'?
    I mean, I don't even want that in my house, it looks that bad.
    I know bands change, but, I was kinda hoping you'd change for the better, you know?
    (also, Bim, is that short for anything?)

    So, speaking of the album. Is Travis going to make an appearance like he's done on the last two albums or no? ):
  • sabiiine · 6 months ago
    I swear that I imagined Ashley Tisdale with a cover like that HAHAHAHAHA that would be very strange :'D
  • DownSouthDiva · 6 months ago
    My mom wanted me to get Viva La Cobra instead of getting The Click Five.....and it was because of the cover.

    The cover of the Click Five cover was the five guys just standing there in all black and on the back was pretty much the same only the lighting was much darker.

    But then i asked about the Cobra album, and she glanced at it and said yes.
    I know that it was because the cover was bight and cheery, this one will probably be harder to get.

    She has never listened to either of the bands and if i can help it she never will, cause if she did they would be in the trash before you could say Gabilliam (heehee i had to do it)

    My point is that the cover can be the reason the a parent will say no about a cd, i'm going to try and get Hot Mess :D, but i'll be sure to hide it from my mother.
  • sabiiine · 6 months ago
    my mother knows i'm addicted to cobra ... she saw the new cover, she hated, but it will give me anyway (if I find the cd here in Brazil, i'm looking for Viva la cobra more than 10 months) :D
  • DownSouthDiva · 6 months ago
    You can try looking on Amazon.com for Viva La Cobra, or ebay.

    I would try to send it to you, but thats illegal and i don't wanna break any laws here in the US.
  • sabiiine · 6 months ago
    i ordered viva la cobra in a store here, but it didn't come.. brazil sucks.
  • DownSouthDiva · 6 months ago
    Aww i'm sorry it didn't come, you can go on to YouTube and listen to most of not all of the songs on there.
  • Amalina Honkerburger · 6 months ago
    lol but actually have the album is much more better.
  • Loochh · 6 months ago
    gabe, to be honest, i'm not sure if i like it.
    my friend told me about that you had posted it on here and i was like no way! and i couldn't look because i had to go do some shitty english exam.
    then at the park she described it to me and i was like oh okay cool.
    but now i've seen it with my own eyes, i'm really not sure.

    i think it's a bit too much like viva. i don't like the 'sweatiness' of it all. (and people, don't start going to me duuuuude, she's a hot mess. i know okay, i get it.) i'm not sure, it kinda makes me feel uncomfortable as a girl and i'm really not sure why.. :| and it seems a teeny bit trashy to me.

    i like the tattoo and the nails and the title though. don't get me wrong, i know the tunes will be sweet, i just hope you haven't strayed too far away from 'while the city sleeps'.

    and dude, i got burnt laying in the sun listening to your tunes. my arm feels all hot. hot mess bro.
    fangs up forever xo

    'onceeee, twiiice, three times a lady!' btw my friend permanently has it on repeat so we listened to it today, i think she's listened to it literally 300 hundred times. i'll name and shame her: katielouise_x
    all go abuse her.
    no, i'm kidding. :D
  • katielouise_x · 6 months ago
    Haha im officially named and shamed! and yes i'm still listening to it! i've got that, umbrella cover by ATL and i must be dreaming by the maine on repeat. it's all gooooooooood.
  • Loochh · 6 months ago
    i have midtown's like a movie on repeat still
    on my itunes ive listened to it 105 times

    140 times haha. i counted.
    i'm never that bad with a song.

    LMFAO

  • ilikeyellowlemons · 6 months ago
    so I've realised what it is about this cover that had been bugging me. It's the hair sticking to her chest, and the mass of grease...and the pastel colours for the lettering. I saw a comment further up in this where she photoshopped the cover and made the letter's brighter and it looked a lot better to me! I just think it would bring out all the colour a bit more than keeping it in pastel.
    I would have commented on this pastelness when I saw the comment, but I forgot because I'm a twat. But yeah....pastel colours... :|

    and yeah I get why there is all the grease and hair sticking to the boobs and whatnot, it's supposed to be a Hot Mess...duhh! But it doesn't mean that just because I get it, it won't irritate me for eternity (I'm one of those people that if there's something irritating me it will go round and round and round in my head until I fix it, but yeah...) I get the feeling that you maybe wanted to to be the sort of cover to maybe cause a bit of a stir and irritate a few people, or maybe you didn't and I'm just looking to deeply into this.

    Either way, it's a good cover :) definitely will stick in my head for a while, for good and bad reasons.
    Should be fun trying to describe the cover to my friend who agreed to buy the album for my birthday a few days later :)
  • Loochh · 6 months ago
    oh and tbh, if i were you, i would have tried to copy ashley tisdale's cover.
    see how she likes that shit.
    ;)

    no i'm joking, i wouldn't want you to have a cover like hers. but it would be lols.
  • ilikeyellowlemons · 6 months ago
    that actually would have been HILARIOUS!
  • Loochh · 6 months ago
    gabe would have been like SUCK ON THAT HOE!

    actually, i don't know how gabe would be, i'm not in his head. but that's how i would be ;)
  • ilikeyellowlemons · 6 months ago
    it really would have been THE MOST brilliant retaliation!

    shame the album cover's already been decided :(

    Hey Gabe, any chance of taking this album cover suggestion into consideration?? Even just you guys shooting a poster of a parody of Tisdale's album cover would be brilliant!! :)
  • Loochh · 6 months ago
    or do a pisstake of one of her songs?
    you need to copy a song again soon.

    that would have been so funny though :D :D
    i think i would have spammed her twitter until she saw it.
    get ryland in a blonde wig.

    (why do i keep making suggestion of putting ryland in a wig?! first i suggested he took kristen stewart's place in twilight cas she can't act and now this!!)

    she's probably one of the best disney girls out of herself, selena gomez, demi lovato and miley cyrus.
    i really can't stand them.

    i spent forever laughing at his message on twitter to her. i was on twitter on my phone at school cas my friend was like you got a reply from gabe! so i looked at it in re and i was literally pissing myself looking at the message to ashley cas it was a few below.
    i was like LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!
  • PunkRockPrincess · 6 months ago
    lol i know when i read it i was laughing for hrs . i hope she didnt steal lyrics too lol.

    I'm not really sure why so many of you are complaining about this. What did you expect? It's Cobra Starship. Boring and predictable isn't really their forte. If your so worried about your parents getting mad, then take the cover out of the case or switch the album art on iTunes. It's really not that hard.
  • gabbaybay · 6 months ago
    48 days to hot mess!!!!!
  • Loochh · 6 months ago
    whey! thanks for counting for me, i'm too lazy you see ;)
  • gabbaybay · 6 months ago
    it reminds me of the viva la cobra cover..
  • Rachelle Marie · 6 months ago
    oh oh oh new Cobra album...woot...just when i was about to give up on music comlpletely, you saved me. ok, so i wasn't gonna give up on music but YAY!!! theres been so much shit put out lately, so FUCK YEAH!!!
  • Sarah · 6 months ago
    Gabe you know I love you, but I will not be buying the hard copy of that cd, only itunes. thats nothing something I want to look at. if I was 16 years old (which most of your fan base is) my mother would of taken that cd away from me, think about how many mothers are gonna do the same...(i.e. your album sales i feel like might drop because of this cover.)
  • Nicole · 6 months ago
    yes. i think that my mom would be a little reluctant to buy it, but im pretty sure she still would. after all, as many people have already pointed out, the cover doesnt make the album.
  • Loochh · 6 months ago
    i keep looking at it, but it's still not growing on me. at all.

    :(
  • Nicole · 6 months ago
    same. the only thing i like are her nails. but im sure ill get over it eventually.
  • Loochh · 6 months ago
    agreed. it's pissing me off that people are saying we're not proper fans if we don't like it. but we're all entitled to our own fucking opinions.
    oh, i loved cobra since while the city sleeps and i don't like one album cover so that makes me not a fan?
    pshh.

    but tbh, the cover does it's job. it attracts your attention. it'll grow on me by the time the album is out probably.
  • Nicole · 6 months ago
    ikr?? the people that say WE arent fans for not liking the cover arent fans. b/c true fans arent going to like every single little thing that the band puts out just b/c they love the band. im sure theres tons of people that do love this and everything else that cobra has done that actually are real fans, but when some of those people go and say that we arent fans because we dont like the cover it makes me think that theyre just posers. because we arent saying we hate cobra now, we just dont like the cover.
    and yes, i agree that it does its job. and its pretty appropriate for the title, i just thought theyd have something a little different. thats all.
  • Loochh · 6 months ago
    well said. surrounded by many posers. joy.
    it's sad to admit, i practically worship cobra. this hasn't made me think any differently. it's not like we're saying cobra sucks or that the music doesn't matter.
    people can suck my dick if they think that i'm more bothered about the cover than the music.

    i think it hits me more cas it looks too much like viva, and i thought good girls go bad cover was really good.
  • PunkRockPrincess · 6 months ago
    yea i dont like the cover at all lol but as many others have said its about the music so my remedy buy the CD and put in a cover more to my liking. problem solved. nothing would prevent me from buying this album even that cover lol.
  • Loochh · 6 months ago
    it's alright, i'll put it on my computer, put it on my ipod and i'll only ever see the cover in small version.
    the cd would then end up on my cd pile

    it's grown on me, the sweatiness is what makes it look bad though.
    a little less sweat and i would be fine.
  • PunkRockPrincess · 6 months ago
    yea i agree. its the sweat or whatever that is on her that is unappealing. yea i would just save it on my comp or put it on my mp3 player. but i do like to play cds when i have ppl over so to avoid the cover art id just put something different over that pic but still have cover there in the case. but it is growing on me so i wouldnt even have to do anything. i just wish it had less of that greasy stuff lol. i can appreciate the pose, the tat, the nails but its that sweat or watever that gets to me lol.
  • Loochh · 6 months ago
    exactly, same here. the tatt is freaking awesome. it looks like sweat which makes it gross but at the same time, it doesn't, which ruins it all. ick, sweaaaat.
  • Nicole · 6 months ago
    and, im sorry gabe, but it kinda looks like it was thrown together. like a last minute thing. im still going to buy it, of course, but i thought the cover would look a little better.... =/ thats just my opinion though.
  • stephaniestarshiptm · 6 months ago
    alright gabe, i literally had an orgasm looking at this, it is the most beautiful thing ive ever seen and i find it halarious that the people critisizing it call themselves fans. because if they were really fans, they would know that cobra starship doesnt give a shit what they have to say, this cover makes me soooo excited for the album and i cant wait to see you guys again (:
  • PunkRockPrincess · 6 months ago
    ok for a person to be a "real fan" they should be able to give positive feedback and constructive criticism to the artist cause its better for the artist to hear it from the ppl that actually support them than get harsh critiques from some outsider. if you agree with everything that artist does then sorry you are the one not being a true fan but a poser cause you are just agreeing with everything and you dont form any of your own opinions. and if you knew anything about cobra you would know that they do give a fuck what their fans have to say. they may not agree with it at times but they sure as hell do care what their fans think. why the hell do u think they take the time to hang out with their fans and try to be as interactive as possible? cause they are bored or cause they just love to be attention whores? no its cause they actually care about the feedback they get and care about staying in contact with their fans...the ppl who support them no matter what. some of us may not like the cover but that should not be mistaken for not supporting the band. we support them by buying their songs/CD. u dont show support by liking or disliking an album cover. thats opinions which everyone is entitled too and shouldnt be a factor in determining who is a fan or not. as long as ppl buy the album and support the band i dont see why they should be considered any less of a fan than u are cause they dared to have an opinion.
  • Loochh · 6 months ago
    funny how people are going 'oh the cover doesn't matter, it's the music that counts!' then saying 'they're not real fans because they don't like the cover.'
    what the fuck? thought you said it was about the music?
    make up your mind why don't you.
  • PunkRockPrincess · 6 months ago
    lol i know! i noticed the same thing. i'm like wtf am i reading this shit wrong. yea i agree the cover doesnt matter. ppl can hate or like it at the end of the day its about the music and anyone who can appreciate the music is a fan. i think they are confusing the definition of what it means to be a fan.. oh well. u know who and what you are and you know you are a cobra fan. nothing they can say can change that. :)
  • Loochh · 6 months ago
    aha, hell yes. COBRA FAN TO THE DEATH!
    i'll have on my grave you can ride to the top but you can't ride on my cock yeah!

    me and my pal have already discussed my funeral XD she'll get the cobras to come sing, then play some cobra songs and midtown's like a movie, then play cobra cams on a loop on a big screen.
    i wish.

    but it won't work if she dies first. i'll kill her in the afterlife if she dies before me :D
  • ilikeyellowlemons · 6 months ago
    yes, because a "real fan" isn't allowed to have an opinion on a matter concerning their favourite band?

    We don't have to worship the ground our favourite band walks on to be considered a "real fan". A real fan is someone who genuinely considers the music the most important part of the band. But that doesn't mean we have to agree with the band on every matter! We're all entitled to our own opinions, weather they be good or bad. As long as we all enjoy the music they make, that's what makes us a fan or not.
    I personally quite like the cover, even though there are a couple of things about it that nark me. An album cover is what represents a band to those who may not have heard of them, so is this is how they want to be perceived, that's their decision and I support them.

    It may not be my favourite cover in the world but that's just how it goes!
    That doesn't make us any less of a "real fan" V:(
  • Loochh · 6 months ago
    thank you, well said. i was rambling about it down there somewhere in a reply :/
    as we all know from tl;dr, not everyone agrees with other people's opinions, everyone was complaining saying that no one understands that gabe is entitled to his opinions. well we're pretty entitled to our own views too thanks.

    'agreed. it's pissing me off that people are saying we're not proper fans if we don't like it. but we're all entitled to our own fucking opinions.
    oh, i loved cobra since while the city sleeps and i don't like one album cover so that makes me not a fan?
    pshh.'

    my previous comment on the matter.
  • ilikeyellowlemons · 6 months ago
    I think we should be friends!

    HI!! :D

    it just really narks me when people go on and on about not being a "real fan" just because we don't always agree with the artist. I'm (sometimes annoyingly) opinionated by nature! It's just the way I'm wired, I don't always agree with people, even those I look up to and respect beyond belief.
  • Loochh · 6 months ago
    haha HI! :D

    exactly, i've supported these guys for years. bought cds and merch, went to shows even though i couldn't actually see them play to meet them and give them more support etc.
    just because i don't like this, doesn't mean i'm 'betraying' the band or whatever.

    i don't agree with a lot of people tbh, and they've learnt to deal with that :D haha.

    it's just really annoyed me how people have gone on about how gabe deserves to voice his own opinions, but when someone else tries to, they get shouted down. what's up with that bro?!
  • ilikeyellowlemons · 6 months ago
    I guess they just feel like they're defending those that they look up to, just like we're defending our "fanship" lol

    that's just how it goes though :)
  • Loochh · 6 months ago
    well, i'll be defending both
    TO THE DEATH!
    :D
  • ilikeyellowlemons · 6 months ago
    AND I'LL JOIN!!

    *high fives*
  • Loochh · 6 months ago
    *high fives*
    we'll start our troop presently.
    for now, i have to go to bed.
    but i'll watch family guy instead.

    the troop shall begin tomorrow!
  • ilikeyellowlemons · 6 months ago
    yessssssssss :)
    we need a name though!! I think it should have the word "Troop" in it somewhere....just a suggestion ;)

    nightey night :)

    actually that reminds me that I should probs go to sleep....I've been falling asleep in all my classes for the past couple of days...not good!
  • Loochh · 6 months ago
    LOL i was trying to think of names in bed but i came up with a blank :D
    i was on here until 5 in the morning the other night. i was talking to everyoneeee ahah.

    no that's not good! i've got exams all week so i don't want to be falling asleep in that! :D

    dayum, can't think of a god damn name!
  • ilikeyellowlemons · 6 months ago
    lullllz, I FAIL at naming things!
    Seriously, I want to get a cat and call him Pigeon...you can't get much worse than that lol :P

    hahahaa really?? nicee :)
    That's what I like about these blogs! If your on the same wavelength as someone else commenting, you can end up having sweet-as convos :)

    shit you're still doing exams?!? A2?? Fuck that sucks :(
    I finished my AS ones literally 3 days (not including the weekend) after the Cobra show....such a PISSTAKE!! V:(
    Stupid exams made me miss Cobra, WTK, Hey Monday ANDDDDD NEW FOUND GLORY :(
    fail of my life!!

    good luck with the rest of your exams though!!
  • Loochh · 6 months ago
    LOL that is fucking awesome! "gooood pigeon!"

    haha same, i love commenting people on here. gabe's blog is my own form of a chatroom ;)

    haha no, mock gcses which are nothing tbh but the teachers put extreme pressure on you just for stupid mocks. i actually think i got more pressure put on during sats than gcse, modules and shit.

    forget AS. i feel like skipping AS and A2 XD but i'm going to be a good girl and stay on and shit.
    oh that IS a pisstake :( i really want them back soon, i was so upset, it was stupid.

    LOL tyvm. hope you done well in yours. we have to do well in our mocks incase we get swine flu- that's what the teachers told us.. XD
  • ilikeyellowlemons · 6 months ago
    hahahahaaa, fuck mocks!!
    My mocks for both GCSE and AS were nothing like the real exam anyways....

    oh god AS is like hell on Earth :( It's practically learning the same amount of stuff as you learnt at GCSE plus extra, in less than a year O_O
    I've just started A2 biology...and I thought AS was hard, this is just bloody ridiculous :(
    DON'T DO CHEMISRTY!!! IT'S THE WORST THING YOU COULD
    EVER DO WITH YOUR LIFE
  • Loochh · 6 months ago
    mocks are actually a waste of time. i don't even know why i'm doing a drama mock tomorrow. it's just doing coursework in a hall tbh :|

    oh forget that. i think i would actually suck at it.
    oh i know, i won't. my sister took chemistry, biology, maths and media and she only managed to pass media cas the others were so hard so she's had to redo the year.
    apparently it's a huge leap isn't it, from gcse to as? that's why i'm dreading it haha

    i think i want to do drama and theatre studies, photography, english language and media.
    as you can see, i would like to go into film and stuff aha
  • ilikeyellowlemons · 6 months ago
    I think I'm going to have to retake the year or something :(
    The exams were just ridiculously hard this year :'(

    that's a pretty sweet career path :)
    I loved English and and that jazz, but because my sister ended up doing English at Uni, and I'm nowhere near as good as her, I didn't think I'd be good enough...
    And my school's media section is practically non-existant
    *Sigh*

    I hate all this shit that comes with getting old :P
  • Loochh · 6 months ago
    haha i love to feel young. but sometimes i feel too young.

    i'm not sure what i want to do. katielouise_x and i want to learn instruments, move to the US, find two/three male band members and get big aha.
    DECAYDANCE!!

    i've wanted to do acting practically all my life, but now, i think it will be so hard to get noticed so.. you know :S
  • ilikeyellowlemons · 6 months ago
    I miss being young!! I'm gonnahave some Mid-life crisis when I turn 20!!

    I'll join the band!!
    I'd throw everything away if the opportunity came along to make music for a living instead of all the conventional bullshit.

    It's gonna be hard to get noticed in whatever career....if you want to do it, do it! At least you'll be in a job you love
  • Loochh · 6 months ago
    yeah, i'd rather risk it in a music/acting then go and work in mcdonald's or tescos.

    that would be so cool haha. i would love to make music like cobra. fun, light, not taking shit seriously. and lolllll this typing box has got proper thin LOL. i can type on word on each line XD
  • ilikeyellowlemons · 6 months ago
    hahahhahaaa I was just reading that and thinkng, DAMN we need to start a new thread...next time you reply. just start a new one at the bottom of all these comments and then comment here to let me know you've commented down there :P
  • ilikeyellowlemons · 6 months ago
    this actually looks hilarious!!
  • Loochh · 6 months ago
    there, i'll reply to this one and then we can make it all long again aha. it's such a small world. ryland is too cool.
    have you seen the taitv where he's talking to someone, can't remember who, in a really common english accent?
    i was sitting in bed at midnight, replaying it and laughing EVERY single time :D
  • ilikeyellowlemons · 6 months ago
    hahahaa sorted :D

    yessss!!! But I can't remember which one it is :| DAMNIT!!
    I think I watched that episode when I was in the common room at school and I actually think I fell off the table I was sitting on I was laughing so much...and because my friends being the nice person she is decided to take advantage of my unbalanced state and push me :)
    Ryland is one of the very few Americans I'm aware of who can actually pull off a GOOD British accent :)
    genious.....
  • Loochh · 6 months ago
    it's the cutting room floor. the first one.

    oh my friend done that yesterday at the local park ¬¬ so i opened her bag, grabbed her ipod speakers and ran away. ^_^

    exactly. you can hear his american-ness come through at times. but everyone else's ones pretty much suck. like my american accent. and all the shows we do at my drama group are american. ¬¬ we're doing grease and guess who i am.. eugene XD
    it's a pretty funny part though. i love getting the laughs.

    but ryland is LEGENDDDDD!
  • ilikeyellowlemons · 6 months ago
    I LOVE EUGENE!!!!!

    You just can not not love Ryland...he's just incredible :)
  • Loochh · 6 months ago
    haha eugene= legend. i know, he's hilarious.

    right gotta go, internet is about to die.
    byeeee for now trooper!
  • ilikeyellowlemons · 6 months ago
    :)

    okidokie, byeeee Trooper One!!

    maybe now I'll actually be able to concentrate on my Biology homework :P

    xx
  • Loochh · 6 months ago
    LOL i'm distracting :D
    just came back from my drama exam, and all it was really was doing coursework in a hall. my drama exam is in front of an examiner.

    and it's really not that obvious that ryland done drama or something is it? XD

    KOOPER TROOPER! :D xx

    (i can't believe mj! and perez is being such a prick about it all. first will.i.am then travie, then mj, then pete. travie's trying to get everyone to stop following and i've stopped cas i'm fed up reading all the shit he writes. #UNFOLLOWPEREZHILTON status that ;) )
  • ilikeyellowlemons · 6 months ago
    nicee :)

    I had a biology test today, and the teachers a total bitch. If I get less than 70% she's gonna phone my rentz again and spin some more lies and make it look like I don't do any work. Bitch...
    I do the work, I just don't do it the way she wants me to do it because her her teaching methods just do not work V:|

    naaa not really that obvious :P
    Before I knew about his drama background, I just thought he was some comedic genius!
    Actually I still think that,.....
    hahahaaa I never followed Perez in the first place. Eevn though sometimes his shit can be kind of funny, it used to be at least...now its just :| , I don't want to give him the satisfaction of yet another follower because I actually really dislike what he does. :)
  • Loochh · 6 months ago
    ooohh. i hate teachers like that. it's like she's permanently got it in for you? my science teachers hate the hell out of me, and move me around the classroom like musical fucking chairs. it's not like i've done anything either.

    fight the power of the science teachers! we were all slagging off our teacher right in front of her so she could hear, cas she taught us stuff for an hour which turns out it was all wrong. then she went into a rant about us aha

    yeah, he IS a comedic genius!! oscar for ryland blackinton!!
    i followed to catch up on stuff but it was all lies anyway. some of his stuff was funny. but he's beyond a joke now. i send him shit, see if he likes it.
    pissed me off majorly that he was going to travie oh i'm always told katy you were a douchebag. if only she had listened etc.
    as if his personal life is anything to do with that stupid piece of shit.
  • ilikeyellowlemons · 6 months ago
    yeppp, other people didn't hand the work in, and the only parents she called were mine.

    shit, she sounds even worse than ours! Ours just gives us the text book, speeds through the functions of the nephron in 10 mins and then expects us to make our own notes to understand it...I can't make notes till I understand the bloody thing, which means she needs to explain it!!

    wtf?!? kinda bitchy....

    Ryland is just pure love :)
    I watched the TAI TV episode again today :D happy times!
  • Loochh · 6 months ago
    she's a twat. then she was like oh well at least i told you that i done it wrong. my friend taught her whole class backwards so she photocopied everyone's books and stuck it in in the right order and she didn't own up to the kids! and were like, well she's a twat too then..

    gahh that sounds stupid to me.
    yeah, i know..

    i feel so bad when i watch reading and leeds festival one. it makes us look awful tbh. but that's up north, not south with us ;)
  • ilikeyellowlemons · 6 months ago
    our entire chemistry and half our biology department just need to be replaced.

    hahahaaa I thought the guys in the Reading and Leeds one were hilarious :)

    perfect representation of the British:P

    'emo hair is what they call it in america, emo hair... breastivals!'

    it made me feel bad at first but then i thought well i guess 'Guy' really doesn't give a shit. it's all just fun to him ;)

    it made me sad at the end though when the whole of tai just walked straight past him and he looked all upset. i was like noooo! guyyyy! i'll sign your shoes for you! (i was gonna ask ryland to sign my shoes for me as a joke ;) aha but then i realised i loved my shoes too much XD )

    and yes, PERFECT representation of the British.
    especially men with beer boxes on their heads.

    hahahahaa we really are taking over the blog comments!
    I hope it's not annoying him.... :-s

    is that all?!?

    damn!! All I remember is that I heard the SOAP soundtrack and it just made me go loco (I've totally stolen that from Gabe :P)

    I fail with remembering dates or years of things :)
  • Loochh · 6 months ago
    haha i remember when the film came out and i wanted to see it in the cinema and i forgot. not long afterwards my sister played it. literally since that monet: complete <3

    GO LOCO!!

    dayum, so do i. i seriously FAIL. epically.
  • ilikeyellowlemons · 6 months ago
    I've been wanting to get the dvd for ages and AGES AND AGES, but it's always been like £14 in the shop, while Borat's been like £3...wtf?!?
    no offence, but a hulluva a lot more people like Borat than they do like SOAP...so I've always been like "I'm NOT paying that much!!"
    I think it's more the principle of it still being £14 after like 4 years while Borat's gone down to £3 in 3-ish that's making me refuse to buy it :P

    Now I've practically just stolen my friends copy :) she never watches it anyways!

    we all go Loco!!
  • Loochh · 6 months ago
    i still haven't got the academy is... cds. i've borrowed them off my sister but i want my own. santi was so expensive, it's a joke.
    while the city sleeps and viva la cobra are £15 each and i swear they didnt even cost that much when it first came out.
    hmv sucks.
    aha i do that :D
    never watched borat, but i really want to see bruno!!!
    LOCOOOO!!
  • ilikeyellowlemons · 6 months ago
    it's actually RIDICULOUS!

    :(

    I can only afford to spend a tenner on a CD!

    I feel really bad for my friends because I always ask for CD's and now they're gonna have to spend ridiculous amounts :(

    £15 is he amount CD's used to be in THE EARLY FREAKING 90's!!!!

    oh god Borat is BRILLIANT!!
    Bruno is going to be even better!!!!! xD
    I wanted to drag my friend to go see it in the cinema, because when we saw the trailer at another film she was like GOD I'M NOT GOING TO SEE THAT
    but I can't make her come because it's a bloody 18
    grrrrr

    LOCO LOCO!!
  • Loochh · 5 months ago
    it's a stupid price to pay. i was gonna save up and buy an album a month. but i only get a tenner a month, so i cant even afford one cd.

    aha ill have to watch it one day. ahhh how can you not want to go see bruno? it looks too good. i really want to go. grrrrr. it's so stupid. WHY is it an 18?

    LOCOOOOO!!
  • ilikeyellowlemons · 5 months ago
    god that's crappy :(

    I dunno either! Bruno looks brilliant!
    you know what's wrong with ratings?? They're completely messed up!! The Duchess has bloody sex and FULL FRONTAL BOOBS and it's onle a 12!! Yet the first Charlies Angels film was a 15 :|

    DUMB!!

    LOCOLOCOLOCO!!
  • lovesam · 6 months ago
    At first I thought that she was holding a piece of candy but then I realized it was lips.
    I think it's perfect for Cobra Starship, I'm not sure what has everyone's panties in a bunch.
    My mom loves "Kiss My Sass".
    Good job and I will definitely buy it in a store.
    PS. I want some nails like those.
  • rachel revenge · 6 months ago
    i mean, i'm all for lip tattoos (i have one) but this...is not the greatest album art. i do, however, like the cobra necklace *nod*.
  • Loochh · 6 months ago
    i would definitely buy that necklace!
    hint hint gabe.
  • Claire · 6 months ago
    Hmm... I was expecting something more creative and funny...
  • Vena Cava · 6 months ago
    Gabe here's my biggest issue, not to make this a racial thing. I'm stoked you put a black girl on the cover. But as a black model myself, I can tell you it really sucks to be on the cover of something that gets a negative general response. Because most brands/companies/productions are scared to make a black girl alone the face of anything for fear that it will sell less. So when you put a black girl on the cover with ratty hair looking greasy and gross, a cover that's almost repulsive, you're driving away a lot of potential sales and it gets to look like taking the "risk" of using a girl of color is to blame. (Even though if she were white, this would probably get the same response.) And I'm not saying this was your intention because I'm sure it's not, it's just something to consider. The concept is great, the execution is not.

    And I don't understand the 2 Live Crew comparison. This isn't shocking or sexy. It's just unappealing. The BMTH album cover with the girl holding intestines was shocking, but beautifully done. You know?

    Idk, this probably stopped making sense a long time ago.
  • ellie (: · 6 months ago
    i don't get you. i don't. sorry.

    i don't get most of you. THE COVER ART CAPTURES COBRA STARSHIP.
    They are one hell of a hot mess of a band.
    Why should they play it safe? yeah; they went overboard with this as they tend to do, AND I LOVE IT!
    trashy;wet;messy;funky;colourful;hot
    it was never intended to have ANYTHING to do with racial issues- i am VERY SURE.
    + as for the fact that this cover may turn away people; so what? no offence to anyone, but cobra starship is always gonna do what they do (: love em or hate em.
    so everyone take your negative shit somewhere else PLEASE (:
    you're overthinkin' this.
    the cover is hella trashy messy + HOTTTT
    it's perrfect. what did you guys want? an album titled HOT MESS with an average boring cover?
    cobra went ahead + did something daring; & KUDOS TO THEM FOR THAT
    also; ever heard the saying "don't judge a book byit's cover"
    well apply that to CDs. if the music's hot; it's HOTT. regardless of a hot mess of a cover.
    Love you gabe. love your cover.
    go COBRA STARSHIP <3
  • BottledStar_xo · 6 months ago
    <3 <3 <3
    many kudos
    <3 <3 <3
  • ilikeyellowlemons · 6 months ago
    the cover isn't my perfect cup of tea I'll admit, but you are so right about it capturing the essence Cobra :)
  • PunkRockPrincess · 6 months ago
    i wouldnt exactly say that it was hott... lol but yea it does go with the theme and i may not like it ..i dont hate it either. i'm just neutral, but its what cobra likes and thats what matters. they are happy with it.
  • Loochh · 6 months ago
    What I don't get is that you're saying about race and stuff, about putting a black person on the cover and stuff then adding that if she were white it would get the same response. So then really, your comment has levelled out. It doesn't matter what colour the skin, there would still be the same response.

    And tbh, it doesn't matter to me what colour skin the girl on the cover is. I don't think it matters to anybody really.
  • Viva_la_Rissa · 6 months ago
    Do you people even realize how lucky we are to even be getting a new cobra starship album after Gabe just had his vocal cord issues not to long ago? and your all concerned over a silly album cover? Be thankful we still have Cobra all together

    Keep doing what you do Gabe cause the real fans know where its at =}
  • simplybriannax3 · 6 months ago
    Kudos to this, I'd rather have an ugly ass cobra cover than no cobra cover at all! although enough of the 'real fans' bullshit... people who don't like the cover are real fans too.
    also I think EVERYONE here 'gets' the cover in coherence with the album title... so enough of that too.
    sheesh you people are exhausting
  • PunkRockPrincess · 6 months ago
    ok ppl really need to stop abusing saying "real fans" this is not an issue. its an album cover. ppl have their opinions. just cause they dont like it doesnt mean they arent fans of cobra and not supporting cobra and not appreciative and thankful that cobra had another chance to make an album. its about the songs not the album cover. the majority arent attacking cobra or saying shit to gabe. they are just simply saying the album cover isnt their cup of tea. if you were actually defending something for example defending cobra against the real haters...the ppl that claimed to be gabes fan and then attacked him for supporting millionaires.. that would be a situation in which you would call them out on being posers and not real fans. attacking actual fans for having opinions is not.
  • Loochh · 6 months ago
    oh more comments going on about how people aren't real fans. i think i'm gonna go into a full blown ramble soon, caps lock and swear words included.
    hate my dedication to cobra being questioned.
  • PunkRockPrincess · 6 months ago
    i will join you lol.
  • Loochh · 6 months ago
    get your caps lock ready!
  • PunkRockPrincess · 6 months ago
    lol dont worry. i have my finger on the caps lock already haha.
  • Loochh · 6 months ago
    it's ready and waiting.
    but it's okay, people have stfu atm
    damn, i was kinda waiting to have a bit of an argument with someone..
  • katielouise_x · 6 months ago
    Come on people! if your mums dont like it be hardcore and buy it without them noticing =] thats what i'd do! just ask loochh =]
    [i told my parents that i was at a wildlife park so i could go to a cobra venue to see if i could meet them. we didn't even have tickets for the gig!]
  • Loochh · 6 months ago
    and they think we're not real fans?
    we lied to our parents and went behind their backs for cobra.
    if you doubt our dedication to cobra, then you're blind.
  • ilikeyellowlemons · 6 months ago
    hahahaa that's what I did for Cobra's London show! I told my parents I went to the library to revise for my exams :)
    Couldn't go to the show, but I got to meet Ryland and Suarez which helped make up for it! I just forced my friends who could go to call me during half the songs xD
  • katielouise_x · 6 months ago
    what london show was it? ulu or kclsu on the 28th/29th of may? i was there =] got to meet em' all except vicky t
  • ilikeyellowlemons · 6 months ago
    ULU :)

    were you there too?!?!?!?!?
    SWEEEEEEEEET!!

    I was sprawled on the floor outside the bus on some random high thing with some folder in front of me for the day attempting to do some revision and failing miserably lol

    I saw Nate walk to and from the bus a few times but I was too scared to go over and say hi lol. Ryland was just a pure legend :)
    Gabe didn't come out until like an hour after I had to leave so I wouldn't get my ass kicked when I got home :(

    next time I'm gonna meet them all I've decided! And actually GO to the show.....
  • katielouise_x · 6 months ago
    Sucks about Gabe! But yeah you sound like us 'next time I'm gonna meet them all I've decided! And actually GO to the show..' haha we've said that! I'm hoping they will be back soon cause hot mess is coming out. Fingers crossed!
  • Loochh · 6 months ago
    your momma is a hot mess, katie OHHH!
    :D
  • Loochh · 6 months ago
    ahhhh we was there :D i'm trying to remember if i saw you cas we were hanging around the tour bus. haha i'm really not good with remembering!!

    we bought cds of mimi soya and i was showing mike my gabe necklace and told him that we didn't have tickets and that i wanted to show it to him and katielouise_x and i were going on about how it would make our day even if we saw him
    and the other mimi soyas went to go soundcheck and mike called someone up for us to find out where gabe was and he was around the front. then katielouise_x went mental ;) haha and she ran and dragged me the whole way. i was like whoa!
    but there were huge empty gaps next to gabe cas everyone was huddled around directly in front of him staring so we got in round the side ;) aha

    you should have just called hi to nate! we didn't have a chance to speak to him properly, but we got a little wave and a cute smile and a signature. he's adoooorable XD
    and agreed, rylanddddd :D love that guy, so funny.

    awww same, we want them back soon. even if it's snowing and shit, i'll still be queuing there and hanging about for literally hoursssssss.
  • Loochh · 6 months ago
    WAIT! i think i remember you! i remember someone sitting on a high concrete thing for ages and i tried to climb up one later that day and i nearly fell backwars :(
  • ilikeyellowlemons · 6 months ago
    yes yes yes that was me!!!

    I had some glitter hat on and my friend had blue hair??

    lmfao! it was a pretty high concrete thing (I wish we could figure out a name for it)
    It was fun to jump off though :D


    hahaa I want them back pronto as well!!
    I'll join you in the snow!!!
    I did the same thing for SP a while back and it was pissing down, middle of winter and we ended up just buying blankets from Poundland and those tin foil campy survival blanket things...was FREEZING but totally worth it :D

    But I swear they said they aren't going to be coming back for a while now?? :'(
    sad sad times
  • Loochh · 6 months ago
    LOL yes! i definitely remember now! i remember a glittery hat and blue hair XD
    lol you probably heard me and my friends, we were shouting shotgun because i decided i was gonna shotgun all of cobra, cash cash and sing it loud ahaaa.

    we'll be partying in a snowstorm all day longggg! whoooaaa, i'll be freezing my balls off (metaphorically speaking :D). make a little campfire on the pavement.

    hope you're taking note gabe. the english will sit out in the snow for you, and our winters are fucking freeeeeeeezing.

    at least me, you and katielouise_x are in the same boat :( what upset us was that just after we left KCLSU, the girls we had made friends with got free tickets from mimi soya and they said they would have given them to us.
    then at ULU we mentioned that we didn't have tickets to mimi soya and they were insisting to go put us on the guestlist but we had to explain we weren't allowed. i reckon they wanted to cas katie and i looked like our hearts had been broken or something aha.

    and sooo many people were selling tickets cheap too :(
  • ilikeyellowlemons · 6 months ago
    I'm remembered :D nice one!!

    I don't think I remember hearing you guys yelling shot gun though :(
    I was too busy that day either going over the formation of a protein, or thinking "where the fuck are these boys and girl??" ....or having a panic attack :-s

    awww that's so sweet of Mimi Soya!! :)
    Next time, all of us SHALL get to go see them! The bloody bastards just keep on coming in May though!! They did the same thing last year, so I couldn't go see them then either :( crappy
  • Loochh · 6 months ago
    haha :D i was gonna ask if that was you but then i thought, nah if i'm wrong, i'll look like a twat XD

    oh, joy. we just got it into our heads that we weren't going to meet them, because if we didn't, we wouldn't be as crushed.
    even though we went home feeling really shit after KCLSU cas we got our hopes up too high.
    oh nice on. down with panic attacks!!

    i know :) i want to see mike again to thank him for trying to get us in there and phoning someone to find gabe for us. i'd launch myself at him going gimme a hugggggg! XD

    i doubt i'd be able to go if it was in may.. don't mind if it's this time next year or something. that actually really sucks! :(
    and yes, WE WILL!
    with our troop. our 'we are protecting our favourite band and our fanship at the same time' troop.
    damn, we still need to think of a name..
  • ilikeyellowlemons · 6 months ago
    lollllz :)

    hahaa yeah I did the same sort of thing, that way when Ryland came out I was just like YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!! But I have this thing where I really REALLY want to hug Ryland just for some reason unbeknownst to me, but when we met him I completely forgot to ask for a hug :( I even forgot to get a pic with the man!! FAIL :P

    Panic attack fail :( I had probs one of the worst ones I've ever had up on that concrete thing (THAT NEEDS A NAME AS WELL!!)

    Mimi Soya are such sweethearts :) I didn't get to meet any of them that day though...sucks

    If they come back in May again, I will actually die of heartbreak. Every time they've come to the UK there's always been a stupid reason as to why I can't go :|

    yes yes yes we still need a name for that Troop....if you can think of another word for Defend that begins with "O", I think I may have thought of a name :P
    The Really Official O____ Pack (TROOP for short :P)
  • Loochh · 6 months ago
    yeah we all got excited over nate suarez and ryland on the first day XD
    me and katie got a pic with him and he managed to put one arm round both of us XD
    i kept meaning to ask when they'd be back. i forgot to ask ryland and i was like oh i'll ask suarez and i forgot then i went oh i'll ask gabe. then i forgot again! :@
    oh nice. do you get them often?
    haha yessss! what words can we spell concrete thing with? haha i'm kidding that would take longgggg.
    i got to chat to mimi soya except hero. like yeah, reppin' britaaain.
    we can kidnap them and only let them back out in june. sorted. :D

    LOL i'll look. oppose? that came up as another word for defend.
    LOL that's awesomeeee.
  • Loochh · 6 months ago
    and we shouted guy ripley at ryland and he quickly replied with "i think you're mistaking me for someone else.."
    we laughed a lot.

    then at ULU he took the piss out of how us english chant cobra XD
  • ilikeyellowlemons · 6 months ago
    OMG YOU WERE THERE WHEN HE WAS TAKING THE PISS OUT OF THE WAY WE CHANT?!?!?!?!

    DUDE, THAT'S WHEN ME AND MY FRIEND MET HIM!!!!

    My friend was the girl who had gotten Cobra Starship tattooed on her shoulder and then Ryland got a guy (I can't remember where he was from) to take a photo of him "licking" the tattoo :D
    LEGEND

    C'MON YOU MUST REMEMBER THAT IF WE MET HIM AT THE SAME TIME!!
  • Loochh · 6 months ago
    OMG it was you two then! haha i just mentioned that in a reply up there.

    I SO REMEMBER THAT! XD aha
    "the way they chant cobra, it's like it has four fucking vowels. COOHBRAAH, COOHBRAAH!"

    Oh man, legend.
  • ilikeyellowlemons · 6 months ago
    yes yes yes yes it was us!!!!!!

    SWEET SHIT!!

    I was practically dying of joy when he was doing that.

    Ryland is a bloody legend xD
  • Loochh · 6 months ago
    saaaame :D the english ruuule.
    i'll be taking these memories with me to my grave. as well as when someone said something about michael jackson to suarez, he was like well, he's white now! and him and danny were saying about how hot the tourbus was then he went "the bus was so hot, i wanted to throw myself out of the window while it was moving. but the bus wasn't moving..."

    ryland chanting COOHBRAAH, and telling us that we were mistaking him for guy ripley.

    and Gabe taking a picture of my necklace and going "it looks like i'm taking a picture of your booobies!!"
  • ilikeyellowlemons · 6 months ago
    Rule Britannia!!

    I think I'd left by the time Suarez said that :(
    I literally managed to get a pic with him, say hi and then I had to leave...gayness
    I look like such a WANG in the pic though!! V:(

    LOL at Gabe!!

    ahh man, I think we should combine this convo with our newly non-ridiculously-thin convo before this one gets ridiculously thin :)
  • Loochh · 6 months ago
    haha i asked him for a photo and he was like yeah sure i'll just do this interview first. and after the interview two girls glared at me and pushed in front of me. and i was like whoa sorry, but we seriously asked first you twats
    it really pissed me off.

    oh the picture my friend and i got with gabe, the lighting is terrible. you could see me, but gabe and katie were in darkness. so i've lit it up to show them too. and now i've barely got a face. dude, i'm pale as it is! lol alright will do ;)
  • ilikeyellowlemons · 6 months ago
    fuck, now there's the problem of actually finding which one of our convos is the long one....I've completely lost it :P
    I only find it again when you reply on it!
  • ilikeyellowlemons · 6 months ago
    hahahahahaa :)

    uhh not really, one ever 6-9 months?? It's normally just on one of those days when nothing is settled and solid in my mind, like I begin doubting and questioning everything and there is nothing stable for me to keep a hold of....it's kinda wierd :-s
    dunno why I got one that day....

    yes that sorts it!!

    hmm I somehow don't think that quite works..The Really Official Oppose Pack??

    fail :P
  • Loochh · 6 months ago
    oh, that really doesn't sound good at all. i would get even more scared if i have a panic attack.

    i get freaked out as it is when i get excited/upset/angry. my chest seizes up and i hold my breath, which makes it even worse. the whole two days at cobra and the week before i kept doing it. and then for days after it too haha.

    keep them in their trailer with the merch and equipment. LOL i know. the really official opposing pack? haha i suck so much.
  • ilikeyellowlemons · 6 months ago
    I just get really worked up for hours, and the only release I have is through a panic attack. I'm in a helluva lot of pain afterwards, but it does help settle me.

    The Really Official Opposing Pack would be a really good name for a liberal political group though!! genious!

    just not for us....hmmmmmmmm :|
  • Loochh · 6 months ago
    that doesn't sound good. but if it helps i guess it's sort of good at the same time? haha

    oh hell yes. what about Teens Really Outraged Or Pissed haha

    does your friend with the blue hair have the cobra starship tattoo on her shoulder in suarez's handwriting? if it was her, later that day, we were winding up a preacher cas he was preaching for money, so we were telling him that we were a part of the church of hot addiction and that gabe was our god :D

    if that wasn't her, then wow, there were a lot of girls with blue hair :D
  • ilikeyellowlemons · 6 months ago
    YES THAT WAS HER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



    hahahahahhaahhahahaaaaa that is fucking LEGENDARY!!!!!

    xD
  • Loochh · 6 months ago
    haha hell yeah! then he started going "have you ever spoken to god?" and we went "gabe? yeah we just spoke to him around the corner"

    then he was telling us to close our eyes and listen and tell him what he hear. i went "well, i can hear a road and some cars..." and she went "and if you listen closely, you can hear fangirls screaming for our god!"

    it was so funny :)

    btw i've never even asked you what your name is XD hai i'm lucy, and you?
    and what's your mate called too?
    she was trying to buy my sunglasses off of me. then i went uhh naaaahh, so she called me a douchebag aha
  • ilikeyellowlemons · 6 months ago
    hahahhahahaa that is brilliant!!!

    I'm Roma, and my friend is called Crimson :)

    hahahaa she would :P


    we should combine this convo as well me thinks!
  • bellatrucchi · 6 months ago
    why does everyone hate it so much?
    i guess the others were better, but this one pretty much represents cobra starship hahaha
    so if you dont like it, dont put the album cover on your ipod/itunes or whatever and get over it
    i personally think its pretty cool : )
  • sabiiine · 6 months ago
    stop hurting gabes feelings ): the cover is fine ! the music is all that matter.
  • Charlvanti · 6 months ago
    Total respect to Bim for getting that tattoo done, first and foremost.
    Secondly, I kinda like the cover. Possibly because of the negativity it's getting but also because it makes me laugh. I hope that was the intention.

    Just one thing.... what is it that Bim's covered in? It's kinda grossing me out. It looks a lot like jizz thats been rubbed in, hence the slight queasy feeling I get when I look at it for too long.
  • PunkRockPrincess · 6 months ago
    lol . yea the fact that many ppl are hating it is making me like it slowly more and more and i agree whatever she is covered in..i think thats what is making ppl get disgusted by the pic. its not the image itself its that greasy stuff.. i would like the pic more if it didnt have her covered in whatever they put on her.
  • Charlvanti · 6 months ago
    Yeah the hate it's getting makes me love it a lot more =]
    It's just the sweat/oil/water/jizz/gel that shes covered in that makes me feel a bit ill.
    I think that the cover pushes all the right and wrong buttons, just as I imagine that it was intentional.
  • Loochh · 6 months ago
    jizzzzzzzzzzzzzz.
    gross, dude. i just looks TOO fake.
    i've got better with it know, i bet the tunes will be amazing anyway.
  • Charlvanti · 6 months ago
    I have a feeling they will be
  • Loochh · 6 months ago
    their music has never let me down in the past, so i'm guessing it won't now either ;)
  • Lizzie.. · 6 months ago
    Wow, reading all the comments, you'd think the girl on the cover was naked or something.
    I don't think it's that bad, it's funky. I love the idea for it. <3

    Oh and I thought i'd join in, my Mum likes Kiss My Sass. She sings and everything.
  • Daaniela · 6 months ago
    Dude, I saw the video and I totally loved this girls, right now I am downloading their album
    Good taste, love ya!
  • meggywebb · 6 months ago
    I think it looks a tiny bit cheap and rushed, but whatever. The tattoo is awesome, my friend has a star tattooed in his lip, its awesome.
    After listening to PW and Good Girls, I have a feeling that I'm gonna love the new album.

    Keep on truckin'

    dear Lord how many times are you going to comment this page?
    ...yes, I have read all the comments... in my defense, I do have a life, it just so happens my parents have friends over that im supposed to be entertainting tonight & i am so skillfully avoiding them by reading these.
    but anyways, just trying to get gabe to comment you back now huh? i swear you've left like 10 comments.
  • Clarisse! · 6 months ago
    negl, it's definitely grown on me because i stared at it for like 100 years.
    I actually kind of don't mind it now and I think Bim is freaking gorgeous and it's definitely very cool that she got the tattoo for the cover.

    Regardless, the cover is fun more than anything and if it's Cobra, can't we count on the fact that both the album AND the music will be fun?

    I believe so.

    You go Gabe coco :)

    yea its one of those things. u just have to keep looking at it and it grows on u. and its a cover anyway its the the music that counts. cobra isnt telling anyone to stare at the cover when they buy the cd so those that are really bothered by it seriously when u get the cd ( i hope u do buy the cd and support them and not boycott buying the cd cause of the cover) just take the cd out and put it in a different case or put it in one of those things...crap what are they called cd space saver things?lol and problem solved u dont have to stare at it. and just cause u dont like the cover i see no reason why u need to add on as well that u hope they dont disappoint u with the music as well...
  • shanapeanut · 6 months ago
    TBH, The cover was definitely something I was not expecting but it fits with your title well so yeah I guess that's cool. I'm excited to hear the other songs from this album and I bet it's definitely awesome. So anyways goodluck with your everything in your life Gabe :) You should definitely have a concert in the Philippines someday since you have lots of fans here too :) I love you Gabe >:D<
  • charmainiel · 6 months ago
    You have no idea how happy I am about the fact that Cobra's coming out with a new album. I've been listening to Pretty Ricky for three months straight. I need some new music before I die of over-stimulation.

    TMI worthy? I think so.
  • dearmary · 6 months ago
    i dont care what the album cover looks like.

    as long as your songs would keep me wild & happy, everything's cool. hell yeah.

    PS. have a concert here in the philippines pleaaaase? yiii. you guys pretty much have amazing fans here.
  • Loochh · 6 months ago
    yo gabe, i want to ask, have you ever played guitar hero and are you good at it?
    i'm curious ;)
  • PunkRockPrincess · 6 months ago
    he most likely has because ive seen nate, alex and ryland play it before so its most likely he did too :)
  • Loochh · 6 months ago
    i've seen nate and ryland XD
    i would so own gabe's arse at it.

    i'm kidding, i can only play it on hard so far, and i'm so rusty cas i have played it in looooooooong.
  • domo_arigato · 6 months ago
    oh man, the album cover is so cobra its not even funny.
    and i've decided that cobra is now an adjective.
    im watching you guys on alexa chung right now, i find it amazing how the editing people managed to censor you so quickly.
    'band that doesn't suck?'
    'cobra starship'
    'wrong!'
    you guys are amazing :]
  • Loochh · 6 months ago

  • DreamYouUp · 6 months ago
    To be honest, I'm deeply upset.

    How could you say no to Ryland's baby face!?!
    haha. No. Really. I love the cover. It's brilliant.
    It's Cobra. My mom kinda laughed at it but I see
    the real genius in it. xD Though I do like Vicky T's
    idea of Ryland farting or whatever. haha. Gabe. You're
    a genius. :D Well, all you Cobras are/
  • jmarie_469 · 6 months ago
    Def. looking forward to the pre-orders. The thing about it though is trying to decide which pre-order offer is the best deal.

  • Loochh · 6 months ago
    sorry but i'm kind of not liking the fact that people are going on that it's a 'race issue' because they're coloured and there's a coloured girl on the front (see response a) or that they're so glad that there's a coloured person on the front (see response b) people are also complaining saying that it's giving coloured people bad names because of the negative comments on the cover. (see response c)

    a) i do not think there's a problem with a coloured girl on the front. at all. i really can't see why there would be a race issue
    b) that makes me feel awkward to be white tbh and i'm not too sure why. because i feel that i would be slated if i went 'oh i'm glad that there's a white girl on the front!'. do you kind of get what i mean?
    c) i really couldn't give a shit what colour skin the girl on the cover has. it's a cover. there would be the same response for whatever colour her skin is tbh.

    you never see a naturally extreeeemely pasty skinned white girl like me on the front of covers, possibly because people see it as unattractive or something (hence why people sunbathe in the summer to get a tan). only when used for a spooky eerie cover. i'm not complaining, i just don't get why people are overreacting about this.

    Bim is a great name. She must be soooommme character.
  • Lily♥ · 6 months ago
    Babe! :D
    I love the album cover!
    It truly is a hot mess! :)
    Bim Is hella pretty.
    If it is any consolation i thought my ma would freak about the cover but i kept it cool and she didn't give a shit!
    WOw so many mutherfuckers talking shit! ahahaha!
    Have fun on your holiday!
  • Amalina Honkerburger · 6 months ago
    yeah this post has the most motherfuckers talking shit! it's amazing.
  • kathleengapit · 5 months ago
    WOW. i love the cover and her necklace. ;)
  • Loochh · 5 months ago
    I have decided, I like the cover a lot more now. I was in HMV the other week and so many other cd covers were shitty and not eye catching at all!!
  • Walking40StepsToTheMoon · 5 months ago
    ...the only thing I don't like about the cover is that from a graphical standpoint, it's a compositional nightmare. 'Hot Mess' doesn't stand out nearly as much as it should. And 'Cobra Starship' would look better if the font was cleaner, and maybe with the colours a tad more saturated. But that's just the graphics geek in me. Concept is awesome, cos come on guys, it's Cobra. What did you lot expect?
