The New Issue Of Classic Rock Is On Sale Now
…And it’s a Special Collector’s Edition featuring the 100 Greatest Songwriters of all time – as chosen by rock’s greatest songwriters.
What’s more, the May issue of Classic Rock comes with four different collector’s covers – either Black Sabbath, Queen, Steven Tyler/Joe Perry or Bruce Spingsteen. Which of those covers will be lurking inside your lavishly rendered cardboard Classic Rock wallet?
Plus there’s a sensational free 15-track CD: The Classic Rock Songbook, Volume III featuring rock classics re-wired, hot-rodded and driven carelessly.
Among the killer cover versions on offer on the CD: Queen’s Bicycle Race, AC/DC’s Kicked In The Teeth, Aeromith’s Nobody’s Fault, Jimi Hendrix’s Voodoo Chile, Fleetwood Mac’s The Chain, UFO’s Love To Love…
Here’s a rundown of Classic Rock issue No.157’s contents:
100 Greatest Songwriters
Some of the biggest names in rock talk about their choices of the best songwriters in rock, including Paul Rodgers on Steven Tyler and Joe Perry, J Mascis on Black Sabbath, Johnny Rzeznik on Paul Westerberg, Trevor Bolder on Free…
Bob Dylan
“The world doesn’t need any more songs. They’ve got enough. They’ve got way too many.”
Mark Knopfler
“A big part of songwriting is being awake and alive and responsive to life. Eventually something of your own will emerge.”
Tom Petty
“It always makes me laugh when people say my music is simple. Because if you think it’s simple, try to do it. It’s not simple. There’s a lot of nuances.”
David Bowie
“I always said it was a couple of lovers by the Berlin Wall that prompted the idea [for Heroes]. Actually, it was Tony Visconti and his girlfriend.”
Alice Cooper
“I think that School’s Out might have been the one song that we ever did that I thought: ‘That’s a hit!’”
Iggy And The Stooges
Stooges guitarist James Williamson looks back at Raw Power – the proto-punk ass kicker that opened many a show circa ’73. And what does he think of Guns N’ Roses’ version?
Jeff Beck
The former Yardbird and these days the guitarist’s guitarist talks about Bowie being a fan, Pink Floyd wanting him, turning down the Stones, and how he used to impress the schoolgirls.
Buyer’s Guide: SST Records
The LA label quickly attracted a roster of cult stars – Black Flag, Soundgarden, Sonic Youth, Screaming Trees – to become one of the hippest underground imprints ever. But where to start exploring such an impressive catalogue? Right here, of course!
All this and more in the May edition of Classic Rock, on sale now.
