Features
26 Eagles - It looked like it really was all over when America’s biggest-ever band called time after the death of Glenn Frey in 2016. Now they’re back, and an American dream continues.
36 Geddy Lee - Away from the spotlight he’s a family man, a serious collector – wine, basses, baseballs – and, most recently, an author. The Rush bassist/vocalist opens up in The Classic Rock Interview.
46 Angry Anderson - A small man with a big voice, the latter-day politician is fronting a reboot of Rose Tattoo. And yes, he’s still angry.
50 Jimi Hendrix - As his landmark album Electric Ladyland celebrates its 50th anniversary, we look at what made him the first true star of a very ‘white’ scene.
54 Bon Jovi - The Jersey Syndicate tour of 1988/89 consolidated their status as one of the biggest bands in the world. It also took them perilously close to breaking point.
64 Roy Buchanan - He inspired the likes of Jeff Beck, Gary Moore and Joe Bonamassa, said no to the Stones, suffered a life of addiction, died a bluesman’s death and became a cult icon.
68 Creedence Clearwater Revival - How inflated egos, brotherly hate, bitter feuds, financial ruin and tragic death brought down one of the most successful bands of their era.
72 Black Stone Cherry/ The Cadillac Three/ Monster Truck - We head to Nashville to catch up with all three bands ahead of their UK tour together in December.
