Summary: A magazine with promise
Comment: I usually enjoy reading CLASSIC ROCK every month at my local Borders magazine rack, but it's obvious there's favoritism towards certain groups and artists. For example, there's WAY TOO MUCH emphasise on Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath, but hardly anything on Deep Purple. Aren't Purple considered one of the (un)holy trinity of british hard rock? It's really messed up that Zeppelin, as well as Plant and Page have made the cover numerous times but Deep Purple zero. Even Phil Lynott a.k.a. Mr. Thin Lizzy has made the cover a few times and still no Purple. Actually, Blackmore once made their cover but it was a special issue about rock's lost hereos. Hey, Classic Rock! Blackmore is doing quite well carving out yet another successful music career, which is something Jimmy Page can't seem to do. Are you getting my drift, this magazine is biased towards certain rock royalty. So be careful when subscribing, you may not like what you read.

Summary: The Best Rock Mag ever!
Comment: This really blows them all away, Blender, Rolling Stone, the old Circus and Creem magazines, the closest to it was Kerrang. They have the best articles and pictures, a great reviews section!. I'm glad Amazon offers a Subscription to it!. Try it, I'll bet you can't put it down!.

Summary: They don't make magazines like this anymore. Or they never did...
Comment: 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?
