Wow, I just got my hands on my first magazine sent to me through the Amazon.com subscription, and it is the best rock magazine I've ever read. The magazine featured ridiculous write ups on Journey, John Kalodner, Triumph, and on the cover and feature was Led Zeppelin covering the Last Days. Included were stories on Zep's final Years (77 - 80), their manager Peter Grant, Zeppelin's In Through the Out Door, and John Bonham. Those stories were very well detailed, published, thoroughly interesting, great write ups, pictorials, etc. The magazine was 146 pages, and aside for the feature contents, regular contents include a communication breakdown (which answers fans letters and emails), the dirt (all the news, rumors, and more), Everyhome should have one (where the magazine asks a musician his favorite album...this edition included Rudolf Scheneker from the Scrops saying no home should be without Steely Dan's The Royal Scam..and he was serious), The Stories Behind the SOngs (Classic Rock looking at BOC's Don't Fear the Reaper), Q & A (with Kinks Dave Davies), Bad Wisdom, The Hard Stuff (the biggest, rockingest rock reviews package on the planet covering all that is new, reissued, spotlight, DVD, books, you name it...it gets reviewed...the best review column I have ever read), and many more regular sections.
I've read and subscribed to dozens of magazines in the past. Such as Metal Edge, Blender, Maxim, Rolling Stone, Guitar World, Revlover, Sound and Vision, and by far this UK published magazine is my absolute favorite one to buy and well worth the $9.00 USD an issue.
I am actually a bit peed off as Amazon.com has recuded the price now to be around $6.70 an issue when I bought mine a couple months ago, but nonetheless, it's a fantastic and addictive magazine certainly any fan of classic rock will enjoy. Next issue is going to be fantastic as well covering Pink Floyd, Grand Funk Railroad, and Jimi Hendrix. Bring it on!

Classic Rock is a GREAT magazine. No emo. No nu metal. No punk (well, not much). So what does it have you ask?
How about classic '70s and '80s ROCK AND ROLL, NWOBHM, Prog and Indie. Yeah, every once in awhile an issue will have too much Led Zep or too much AC/DC which to me is a waste for this fine magazine because you can read about those bands anywhere. But, what makes Classic Rock magazine so unique is that it covers many (of my favorite) bands that you do not see on the covers of 20 other magazines sitting nexxt to it on the shelf. Bands that may or may not have "made it" in their day but nonetheless inspired newcomers and/or their slice of history such as Hawkwind, King Crimson, Motorhead, Thin Lizzy, Soft Machine, Robert Wyatt, Gong, T. Rex, Peter Hammill, VdGG, and of course the metal trinity of Judas Priest, Iron Maiden and the almighty Black Sabbath. Classic Rock has a great way of providing unique coverage (rare photos & excellent interviews) and have a great way of mixing the old with the new. Their facts are accurate and what gives them an edge of credibility over so many other rags is they seem to CARE and KNOW and REVERE these bands like you and I do. What a concept - writers who actually know about the bands they interview and write about.
Borders is the only bookstore in which I have seen this magazine, and only for about the last year. Then for some reason, it seems to have disappeared off their shelves. Which would be a shame if they decide to stop carrying it. Who knows, maybe they only bring in a few copies which are quickly sold and that's why you don't see them as often. Anyone know about this?
