Issue 346’s cover stars are QUEEN. Fifty years on, Brian May and Roger Taylor reveal the vision, precision and daring behind A Night At The Opera, the album that rewrote rock’s rules.
Other features include… SCORPIONS’ Rudolph Schenker and Klause Meine look back over 60 years, from being trashed in the UK press to being lauded rock icons.
HEART: how Ann and Nancy Wilson gatecrashed a male-dominated, payola-fuelled rock scene 50 years ago with Dreamboat Annie. For CREEPER, before the vampires and rock’n’roll theatre, it was shoestring punk gigs, DIY video shoots, hard work and, ouch, sales work.
TOM PETTY: despite all the chaos and confusion that fed into it, the deeply personal Wildflowers is the album he regarded as his best. DAVID BOWIE: band members, friends and associates tell the story of The Rise And Fall Of Ziggy Stardust And The Spiders From Mars.
UFO: when ace-card guitarist Michael Schenker quit, they took off to the Caribbean and recorded a belter without him.
Regular features include COUNTING CROWS, ERIC GALES, ZAKK WYLDE, DEVON ALLMAN and more… Plus the biggest and loudest rock reviews section on the planet. Like classic rock? Then you need Classic Rock!
