Hot Rock Animorphs
« on: April 29, 2009, 01:03:19 PM »
I was looking at my brother's Vinyl collection and came across the cover of HOT ROCKS by Rolling Stones
and saw it was about 90% the same as the cover of the last book.
So that lead me to think K.A's favorite rock group is teh Rolling stones.
not only because of the cover but also Ax quotes them in book 8
and Elfangor listened to Rolling Stones in the Taxxon homeword.

what do you think =D

Ax quoted them? That's normally the kind of weird minor detail I'd remember, but I'm not very familiar with the Rolling Stones.

cover of Hot Rocks  by Rolling stones

Aximili quoted them in his diary in book 8 i'll see if i can find the exact quote

Quote
Chapter Eleven
"You can't always get what you want. But If you try sometimes, you just might find, you get
what you need." A famous human named Rolling Stones said that. I thought it was very wise,
for a human. - From the Earth Diary of Aximili-Esgarrouth-Isthill

Yeah, it's already been known that they're both similar, and that the last book cover was inspired by the Rolling Stones. I believe it's David B. Mattingly who is the fan though because K.A. never actually gave any ideas for the book covers. The marketing people would just take the brief plot outlines that she would make months in advance and then plan the cover based on it (in most cases it was whatever new morph they would be acquiring in that book). Same thing goes for the titles for every Animorph book. K.A. never actually named any of them, it was the marketing team behind Animorphs that did that.

I knew that the cover was based on that album, but I had never actually seen the album before.  That's really awesome. O:

The Rolling Stones are mentioned in the books though, like Shark said, so maybe there is a connection?

Maybe KA suggested the idea for the final book cover, maybe someone knew that KA was a fan and did it, or maybe it's just a coincidence? David B. Mattingly could be a fan too.

Wow!  Nice find.

I'll have to listen to that album, while reading The Beginning backwards--to search for hidden messages.

I remember reading that she was a huge Stones fan and big Star Trek fan. Hence the copious references throughout the books. To quote Kris Kristofferson who i am listening to, "Blame it on the Stones"
Until then we fight.

I think Elfangor listens to "I Can't Get No Satifsfaction" in the car while driving on the Andalite homeworld.

The same day I bought #54 (release date) I saw the album while I was at the check out stand. I was the first to reported it (on Morphz.com) .

Isn't this on the scholastic animorphs data base? I dont have it anymore and am too lazy to download it, but i recall it being under trivia for the last book.

I got Hot Rocks this weekend, looked at the insert, and noticed it was a poster of the cover. When I pulled it out, I had the faintest hope it was a poster of 54. Now I really want a poster of 54.

I wonder how Scholastic wasn't sued for this.
