Four-year-old Carter Helm was the model for this iconic cover. Artist Margo Nahas had photographer Raul Vega take a photo of Carter, her best friend’s son, posing with candy cigarettes and a ton of gel in his hair. Margo had a fascination with angels and devils, and so painted on the angel wings. The painting caught the eye of Eddie and Alex Van Halen, and thus became a memorable album cover.
