This issue’s cover stars are ZZ Top. They were a boogie-blues band barely known outside the US, then they recorded the album Eliminator and, via a trio of iconic videos and MTV, slammed into fifth gear and took over the world. Billy Gibbons and co. look back on the birth of a genuine music phenomenon.

Elsewhere Aerosmith singer Steven Tyler, Eric Church, The Cadillac Three, Whiskey Myers, Lydia Loveless and more feature in our guide to the new country rock revolution, and we bring you The 25 Greatest Country Rock Songs.

There’s also the compelling story of Spider, the boogie-rocking nearlymen of the NWOBHM era. U.K. Subs frontman Charlie Harper brings tales from the frontline of punk – and the London Underground. Alice Cooper reflects on Groucho Marx, Lemmy and Speedos. We bring you the story behind L7’s Pretend We’re Dead, tell you six things you need to know about Scorpion Child and… oh, loads more cracking stuff – such as a free 100-page book and a 15-track CD! Plus, of course, the biggest rock reviews section on the planet.
