Inside the issue:
SLASH & FRIENDS Cover story! With a little help from his friends – Lemmy, Ozzy Osbourne, Alice Cooper, Iggy Pop, Chris Cornell and many more – has Slash just delivered the first great rock album of the decade? Classic Rock talks to the The Man With The Hat and some of the star-studded cast of collaborators on the record.
QUIREBOYS With the Quireboys on the road again in support of a new album, we catch up with Spike and co. to share a drink and a tale or two of times past.
COLLABORATIONS Inspired by the success of Slash’s numerous collaborations on his new album, we look at some memorable tracks recorded by people with a little help from their friends.
BACHMAN & TURNER With Bachman-Turner Overdrive in the 70s Randy Bachman and Fred Turner were huge – and we’re not talking just record sales. Now, after fallouts and a lot of water under the bridge, the pair are back together to rock once more.
AIRBOURNE Their new album No Guts, No Glory is proof that these AC/DC-influenced rockers (“I don’t think we’ll ever shake off those AC/DC comparisons) aren’t just a flash in the pan.
SOUNDGARDEN Kim Thayil recalls his “pterodactyl on crack” guitar line that fired the making of the band’s classic Jesus Christ Pose.
JOE BONAMASSA Modern blues’ fastest-rising star talks about the honour of a guest spot from BB King and getting help from Robert Plant, and spills the beans on his new project with Glenn Hughes.
JOEY TEMPEST He met Axl in the toilet, Hasselhoff on the Baywatch set and Ron Jeremy on a porn movie shoot. These and more stories from the Europe frontman who parties harder than you’d think.
RUSH It’s 1980 and Rush, of all people, have scored a hit single. Not only that, but girls – yes, girls – have started to come to their gigs. How will the band cope?
PLUS! Win an ultra-rare flightcase full of Kiss live albums worth £1,000!
All this and more in the April issue of Classic Rock (No.143) on sale now.
I hope the CD is better than the last one (Joe Perry). What a crap album it was!
Can I just point out that Although a great Issue I think The Cover should have been about Airbourne seeing as they actually have an album/tour out in a few days. Also the cd gave me nightmares… because of the stand by me cover
Thanks for the Quireboys feature. Funny as always! BTO as well – interesting. As usual, though, Osbourne’s annoying facial expressions make me glad to hate Metal.
Elllo Kiddies from Canada!
I am a subscriber to Classic Rock and i always look forward to every months issue,one of the reasons is for the fact that there is a good dose of Canadian Music featured in many an issue including this months issue.
Thanx to all the good writers and of course Ross Halfins Pictures ,now i know nothing about photography but that guy writes the best blog i have ever read(tells it like it is) on his website!
Could you guys/gals perhaps write a article on Coney Hatch in a future issue….a very under appreciated and hard working band that never got there due.
Peace
Derek
I thought the Joe Perry album was very good proberbly the best freebee for a long time.I have been buying Classic Rock since the early cover of Hendrix which was many years ago.Absolutely love this mag.
Good to see The Quireboys getting some coverage. Hopefully there will be more on them in the future.
