Album Cover
The original album cover featured a stylized, cartoon depiction of politician R. Budd Dwyer as he famously shot himself on live television. When it was prepared for release by Volcom, the label's manager demanded the cover be changed, and that the band change their name to something less offensive (hence the switch from Camp Kill Yourself to Camp and later CKY). The next, more well-known, cover features a photograph of lead guitarist Chad I Ginsburg performing his trademark 'bitch toss', in which he throws his guitar 360 degrees around his back and catches it when it returns. The photo was taken on the 1999 Warped Tour.

Famous quotes containing the words album and/or cover:
“What a long strange trip it’s been.”
—Robert Hunter, U.S. rock lyricist. “Truckin’,” on the Grateful Dead album American Beauty (1971)
“You may call a jay a bird. Well, so he is, in a measure—because he’s got feathers on him, and don’t belong to no church, perhaps; but otherwise he is just as much a human as you be. And I’ll tell you for why. A jay’s gifts and instincts, and feelings, and interests, cover the whole ground. A jay hasn’t got any more principle than a Congressman.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
