The new issue of Classic Rock is out today!
Don’t dare miss the latest, Alan Sugar-approved edition of Classic Rock – because the cover-line "YOU’RE FIRED!" says it all. We’ve got the exclusive behind-the-scenes scam on the Velvet Revolver split. Our amazing story makes all previous efforts to uncover the truth look like they were written by, er, apprentices. As if that's not enough, there’s a FREE CD – Sons Of Guns III – that showcases 15 hotter-than-hot new bands with an appetite for destruction.
Here’s a sneak peek at the contents of the new issue of CR:
VELVET REVOLVER
Desert Rats? Classic Rock accompanied the band on tour in Dubai and the UK just as they were kicking frontman Scott Weiland out of the band. Read why Weiland had to go. Plus: guess who’s gonna replace him?
SCOTT WEILAND
“Velvet Revolver are a band full of junkies and fucking tramps who are trying to pretend they’re fucking St. Francis!” So says Scott Weiland. In a WORLD EXCLUSIVE, the (now former) Velvet Revolver singer gives Classic Rock his side of the story, just days before he was sacked from the band.
THE 40 BITTEREST BAND BUST-UPS
Take that! Van Halen and Dave Lee Roth, Metallica and Dave Mustaine, Guns N’ Roses and Axl Rose, UFO and Michael Schenker… There’s no shortage of band members who’ve who’ve squared up to each other over the years.
QUEEN + PAUL RODGERS
In another WORLD EXCLUSIVE, Classic Rock talks to all the members of Queen + Paul Rodgers about their brand-new studio album, and they tell us why “Freddie would love what we’re doing”.
WISHBONE ASH
For the band that invented the concept of the twin-guitar attack, Argus is a milestone in their history. So why did this now classic 1972 album become a rod for their own back?
JASON & THE SCORCHERS
How did the one-time gods of new country manage to snatch defeat from the jaws of glory? “There was way too much alcohol and cocaine around,” for starters, mainman Jason Ringenberg reveals.
THE BLACK CROWES
They thought it was all over. And so did we. But now, after seven years apart as musicians, bickering brothers Chris and Rich Robinson talk about being back together again with a new Black Crowes.
All this and more in the new issue of Classic Rock – which comes with a FREE 15-track Sons Of Guns III CD – on sale now!
