Walton Ford looked at the negative voices of some Rolling Stones fans who did not like the album cover, exposed and defended himself against this by saying: " A lot of people liked it not at all. [ ...] I was glad that they did not like it. I mean, the last people I wanted to satisfy, were Rolling Stones fans. [ ... ] They are really vicious. It is a general rule that they have a fan base that just always seems to be upset about the Rolling Stones for many reasons. [ ... ] [A] ls the Rolling Stones have done their best work, they were ahead of the people she loved so much, take a step. I thought, How cool that I get the opportunity to piss their fans? ' "
