• I really hope we get the Weller cover here in the US. . .why do the covers have to change from the GREAT UK cover to not-so great American covers. I would have prefered The Special's May cover to Neil Young's.

• Yes, I wonder about the cover. Weller's international profile is hardly stellar, regardless of what one's opinion of his music might be. I would gladly accept a Dolly Parton cover, given that women have been largely under-represented on Mojo's front page. Due credit being given to a songwriter of her calibre would be warmely received.

• PS - please don't put Slash on the cover. I may have to boycott, after 174 issues!

• What's wrong with the mighty GUNS N ROSES on the cover of Mojo instead of that socialist wimp who used to be a mod? Slash rules now & 4ever!!

• Slash instead of Weller on the US cover? Can there possibly be any doubt as to who has made a bigger and better musical contibution? By placing Slash ahead of Weller, you are simply feeding your own expectations, failing to reward merit over popularity and undermining the quality of your product.

• Weller!!!!!! Theres a lot to be done if anybody tries to meet the targets of this Legend. One of the great british songwriters imo! And should be nationwide on front-cover! Thank you for the last 30 years of my life Paul.

• I was talking to a friend the other day about people in pop that inexplicably rub you up the wrong way. He cited Tears for Fears as a duo that you'd see a picture of and then feel an irresistible urge to punch them. I claimed that I didn't feel that way about anyone. And then I saw the front cover of this month's Mojo.

• Great to see Weller and the mighty Prince Buster in Mojo. Of course Weller should be the cover and because I live in the UK he is! Terrible news for our U.S. friends to get Slash though - he is just not in the same league. Have to say Mr. Weller is looking a trifle rough on the new cover and that barnet is dodgy!

• Weller may be a hero to some, but he sure ain't a hero to all. I'm yet to be convinced that he has much artistic merit at all, really. Plus, he looks like a dead set prat in that picture. Didn't Johnny Marr throw that haircut out in 2004? Weller simply doesn't mean that much (with exceptions) to the majority of those outside the UK. To those like me in Australia, there's always been a sense of baffled bemusement at Mojo's ongoing interest in someone who appears to have made one decent album (Wildwood) in the last twenty years. Each to his own, I suppose; and those to love him, you can have him! By the way, Dolly Parton is ten times the songwriter and fifty times the singer that Weller is. I don't know what "business" exactly that Weller takes care of, other than trite cliche'. You've only got to look at the titles of his recent albums - such as Heavy Soul - to realise that he's hoping like hell the pundits aren't going to notice that he's running on empty. Still, he's nice enough I guess. Sorry if I've caused offence. :)

• in the last few years i have been really impressed with what Paul Weller has put out and have seen him live also.There are few people on the scene that can carry on the rock flame from the likes of Young but i think Weller can

• Hmm, looking a bit like Jon Pertwee as he ages, eh? And let me add my voice to the discontent at the US covers.

• DOLLY PARTON???? oh my... If Weller´s not an international superstar, it´s a matter of bad taste of the international market. Dolly Parton is a World Star??? A rock star?? Michael Jackson is a world star and that´s another international market matter.- Weller is a musician who really deserves a cover, i think that´s something you can´t deny, or put in doubt...

• I would have preferred the SPECIALS cover as well here in Canada. Obviously Mojo thinks they'll sell more copies with a more recognizable artist... a shame. 2 past Weller covers (that I know of)have been released in North America. Why change now?
