This month our cover star is Eric Clapton – AKA God. In this no-holds-barred, world exclusive interview (his only new one this year), Clapton opens up about everything from drug-fuelled past to his brand new album. Spanning tales of Cream, Blind Faith, John Mayall's Bluesbreakers and everything in between, it's a compelling read. Clapton also appears in our guide to the 25 Greatest Unplugged Albums, alongside the likes of Tesla, Bruce Springsteen, Johnny Cash, Page & Plant and others.

In addition to this, we've got a hitherto-unseen interview with ex-Deep Purple maestro – and all-round man of rock'n'roll mystery – Ritchie Blackmore in the month that he returns to rock with a new version of Rainbow. And for a similarly enigmatic character profile, why not check out our brilliant feature on King Diamond; face-painted Satanist and Mercyful Fate man, friend of Metallica and 'dark arts scholar'. Elsewhere you'll find The Gospel According to (Heart singer) Ann Wilson, plus interviews with Wilko Johnson, Whitford/St Holmes, The Virginmarys, Sean Lennon, Goo Goo Dolls and others. All that, and the ultimate rock reviews section (with live reviews of AC/DC, Iron Maiden and Iggy Pop, and new album write-ups for Radiohead, The Red Hot Chili Peppers, Jeff Beck and many more), plus a free 15-track CD. All available in Classic Rock 225!
