feel like this is more copyright infringement than censorship but still an interesting video

Goo is definitely my favorite followed by dirty, experimental jetset, and washing machine.

Very interesting. The only album cover change that I know about off the top of my head is one of the Rolling Stones album that had Lucille Ball on it and had to take her out later. Excuse me for not knowing the album name. I don't know a lot of Rock albums
