Cover artwork Joe Petagno, long time sleeve artist for the band, commented on the concept behind the cover for the DVD: The idea was to create the feeling of tour posters being torn off the wall, one layer at a time, from 1975 to the present day... That was the basic idea: to create this montage of Motörhead through the years.About Joe Petagno - interview section with Joe Petagno, bonus DVD with Inferno 30th Anniversary edition SPV69748.
