Rolling Stone Magazine

[Dirty Duck]

I wanted to start this thread cause I HATE this fucking magazine...and I hope others feel the same way. It represents good music as much as MTV shows real videos. Anyone care to comment...RANT ON!!!!

I can remember being in sixth grade. I wanted to do more teenage things. I started riding my bike down to a local record store (back when they were really cool and had bongs, hashpipes, and shit). Who would frequent the store were mostly college students from the local University and I wanted to be like them.

I just remember buying the KISS album Rock and Roll Over and at the checkout counter they had issues of The Rollingstone. The cover looked cool and I had to have one.

I remember trying to read the thing and it was like the Wall Street Journal. Nowadays, I find the Wall Street Journal more interesting. Yeah, Rollingstone what a waste of paper.

I should have wrote: Rolling stone AFTER 1990...

here's the problem with rollingstone...
too political
too many adds
Its great they do all this investigative shit with the governement, but its getting to be like a consumer reports magazine now. There needs to be more music, and more music related items. there should be more ROLLING STONE INTERVIEWS with popular artists, and what the fuck ever happened to the college issue??

OH ...AND IT COSTS WAY TOO MUCH

The Stone used to have some good stuff in it, but at some point in the mid-1980s they started covering fluff shit and putting people like Mikey J. Fox on the cover. The National Affairs section has a democratic bias purely for the sake of being democratic. RS has turned into SNL, in that the featured star is whoever is popular at the moment, regardless of talent. Once in a while there'll be a decent article, usually a human interest story outside the field of celebrity and politics (some good recent stories on crystal meth and counterfeiting spring to mind), but I'd sooner read a Maxim, Classic Rock or Blender over the Stone now any day of the week.

If you want a real music magazine, than pick Maxim BLENDER!!! Hell in one issue Diamond Dave himself answered some readers questions about him. And here's a rothism from that issue: Call me retro, I'm still Hetero! LOL I think it's the one with Beyonce on the cover.

I'll be sure to scan the article when I get a chance.

Playboy is the last great magazine. It has everything and yes, the articles are good too.
