Will DMB get the Rolling Stone cover for the album?

What do you all think? I can't see how they wouldn't give it to them. They've been on the cover multiple times.

    Lil Wayne is more popular/relevant in the public consciousness than DMB. That sells magazines. Throw Leonard Cohen on a cover and sales drop, no one knows him by face and he's old and ugly. You'll get more people buying the magazine by throwing Lil Wayne on the cover than you would if you put DMB on the cover.

    Very true, however, more public doesn't mean a bigger seller. Prince just spent 3 nites on Leno, put out 3 new albums with a large promo push behind it but he's not on the cover. Maybe he was offered and turned it down. Don't know. Either way we'll see. I'm not saying they 100% won't be on the cover, my opinion is there is a very small chance they will be.

    yeah it's gotta be very likely...RS has done a bulk of the coverage so far...I wouldn't be surprised to see them on the cover of the June/July issue with hopefully some sort of tribute to roi on there too

    they were on the cover for their past three albums... and dave was on for some devil. i can't see how this would be any different.
    they are america's biggest band. in their last cover story RS called dave the "biggest rockstar in america." funny how they never give 'em good reviews though.
    they'll be on there i bet.

    I see RS giving Big Whiskey the best review of any DMB album to date. IDK I just have the feeling

    In terms of what? They're a great live summer touring band, but as far as mainstream popularity and relevance go, they're not really on the radar anymore. They're not radio friendly which eliminates a whole segment of listeners, and their last decent album came out eight years ago.

    U2, Chili Peppers, Radiohead, hell, even country bands like Rascal Flatts are more popular (however you want to define popular). Besides, bands is a limiting term. If you want to say biggest musical acts, which is a more accurate metric, then they're not even in the top 20 anymore. Maybe to you and me, but after the summer is done and the concerts are over, who besides the hardcore fans that have been around for more than decade pay attention to DMB?

    So yeah, I think they'll get a RS cover because its their first new album in four years, one that has an interesting backstory and was completed after a member passed away. Its a good story and it should be a cover, but it's the "Americas biggest band" thing I took issue with.
