New "Classic" Rock" magazine Prog Special - Progressive Rock Music Forum

£8!!!!!!

Thats a nada from me.

Good info though, thanks EL.

Outside the UK no free DVD included

Perhaps I can buy it when I go to Scotland between July 9th and July 13th, good idea Snow Dog, you must have sleep very well this night

The magazine is in the shops now, in the UK at least. It is one of the "specials" though, not the regular magazine.

I just got home from WHS with my copy...... I did blanch at the £8 price too...... which I didn't spot, until the lady at the till said the price

But when I get my mitts on it, it looks like it could be a good read! (it's been nabbed by another houshold member

)

Will let you know what I think once I've had a read!

This post reminded me of something I forgot to mention a while back (or maybe I did mention it, I really can't remember

). Guitar One recently did a prog issue featuring Dream Theater, Rush, Marillion, Jethro Tull, King Crimson, and Yes. It's about time someone did that...

.

^Bad research springs to mind when I saw the page about prog websites- Prog Archives cropped up and it jokingly bemoaned that there were no reviews of Druid's 'Fluid Druid' on the site! There are a couple, actually...what were Classic Rock talking about??

I've had a flick through this and I'm not sure it's worth me paying out £7.99 for it- certainly nothing all that interesting in there, imho, and some of the articles are recycled from earlier issues. I'm glad Classic Rock 'keep the faith' with the genre but I've become disenchanted with their magazines of late. I dig out the old ones from around 4 or 5 years ago and imho, there's a marked difference in quality- too many sex/drug anecdotes and pandering to sleaze/hair bands, not to mention the pathetic over-reverence to Guns 'N' Roses.

I think that including punk and indie/grunge in the mag was a mistake as well- there are distinct double standards in operation; whilst praising those genres, sometimes the writers on those genres feel the need to take potshots at prog and heavy rock/metal that ultimately is the reason why most of the readers buy that mag anyway. If I wanted to read about punk or indie and the potshots that go with it towards other genres I would get Q or NME.

Don't know if it was that one, but I recently leafed through a guitar mag "prog" special.The focus was mostly on prog metal. That's where the money/market is, these days.

Nice to see any "prog" get a look-in in the media, though, even if it's not my kind of "prog."

wanna borrow some glasses, Peter?

That wasn't very nice, now was it, Tony? Not even a wink.

I see now it was a different mag. i know Genesis (or even Hackett) weren't in it, nor was there a DVD.
