AVENGED EIGHTFOLD: For those of you who haven't yet seen our 28th Anniversary Issue—or who got a copy but mistook it for a doorstop, which is understandable—we present the digital debut of Sam Viviano's cover illustration, a lively comic book-style rendering of eight industry titans. Why were UMG ruler Lucian Grainge, Sony Music chief Doug Morris, Sony/ATV kingpin Marty Bandier, ultra-maven Irving Azoff, Apple/Beats trailblazer Jimmy Iovine, iHeartMedia topper Bob Pittman, Live Nation overlord Michael Rapino and WMG controller Len Blavatnik assigned these particular superhero identities? We'll let the true geeks among you puzzle it out. (Click on the image for a bigger view.) (9/24p)
