Classic Rock (January 2020)
Classic Rock is a turbo-charged, rock’n’rollathon of a magazine. Every month it’s packed with exclusive
interviews and behind-the-scenes features on rock’s biggest names, from Led Zeppelin to Deep Purple, from Guns N’ Roses to the Rolling Stones, from the Sex Pistols to AC/DC and beyond.
Each issue plays host to the heftiest rock reviews section on the planet. In an average issue, you’ll find over
150 albums reviewed, all from the ever-varied, multi-faceted world of rock - whether it’s hard rock or heavy
metal, prog or punk, goth rock or southern rock, we’ve got it covered.
In this Issue
That Was The Year That Was 2019
Another year over (just about), and again it’s one in which there have been fantastic new albums and lavish
reissues. We look back at the standout new releases (starting on page 20) and the best reissues (page 66), and on page 80 we remember those who have sadly left us during the past 12 months. We also talk to some of the artists for whom 2019 (and the last decade) has been one to remember, including…
The Wildhearts
Given a career in which they’ve constantly hit the self-destruct button, it’s surprising that The Wildhearts are
still here. Not only that, they’ve also released one of the year’s best albums.
Jeff Lynne
The songwriter, singer and multi-instrumentalist looks back at a long and hugely successful career, which has
seen him lead ELO, work with The Beatles, be in a band with Bob Dylan and Tom Petty… All this and more in the Classic Rock Interview.
Rival Sons
We collar sharp-dressed Jay Buchanan and Scott Holiday to talk about the past decade, fashion, latest album
Feral Roots and playing ballads at metal festivals.
Def Leppard
A Hall Of Fame induction, a Vegas residency, a new Down ‘N’ Outz album… It’s been a busy year for Joe Elliott.
Steven Wilson
Over the past decade he’s shifted through a range of musical guises. Here he reflects on the genius of Bowie and Zappa, married life, and why it’s good to talk bollocks.
