fave music magazine
 

i stopped likin rolling stone when they put those american idol ***s on the cover ...but i recently started reading it again an its the best besides the cover choices .

what about my fellow music banter posters ?

I don't always dig who RS puts on their cover, nor do I always trust the musical reviews, but on the whole their writers are excellent.

profane existence.

I will sometimes have a look at mags but they can be so bad that there's no point buying something for that amount of money

Rolling Stone... their bbudget just obliterates their competition.

I've actually been waiting for oother great music magazines to break through for a while now.

I dont read music magazines mainly because i dont like the concept of writers dictating my taste in music and telling me how it should and shouldnt be.

Well ok, i do read Rolling Stone, just so i'll have something to gripe about, they never cease to piss me off.

None yet, they are too mainstream. I do like flicking through the odd metal magazine, but because my taste is so old school, there's not a lot of bands that interest me.

i read spin. many of their articles entertain me. they dont always talk about the mainstream bands that all the 13 year old girls gossip about. in fact they have had a great many articles on underground bands and quite a few on music culture as well. i read it because i enjoy some of the columns they have and they have a comic of a life experience retold by a member of a band every month in the back of the issue.

i also read magazines like guitar-one and guitar world. they often have interviews with members of bands that i like, those are always fun to read. and they have six songs tabbed and explained by the musicians who wrote them in the back pages of every issue.

i dont bother with the rolling stone, to me thats just another "national inquirer" for the music world.

I used to get Metal Hammer back in the eighties.Don't bother anymore.
The bands I'm into very rarely get a mention nowadays.
