PLANET ROCK MAGAZINE ISSUE 10: AC/DC Judas Priest SLASH Deep Purple

As Planet Rock magazine reaches double figures, we welcome AC/DC, the world’s greatest hard rock band, to our cover. As we approach the first anniversary of Malcolm Young’s death we dig deep into the making of the band’s classic Powerage album, we tell the stories behind the Australian rockers’ 40 greatest songs, and we examine what the future holds for the band now that they’re back in the studio.

British HM icons Judas Priest are also fast approaching their 50th birthday. To mark the release of his autobiography Heavy Duty, we have a no-holds-barred chat with former guitarist KK Downing who reveals the truth behind both the band’s successes and their darker days.

Similarly revealing is our fascinating Confessional interview with Guns N’ Roses guitar hero Slash who spills the beans on the band’s hugely successful Not In This Lifetime… tour and opens up about his new love and new album.

Elsewhere in the issue we revisit the maverick, game-changing history of Faith No More, David Coverdale  from Whitesnake shares his life lessons, we salute cult heroes Nazareth, and Deep Purple frontman Ian Gillan tells us about the rock’n’roll songs which soundtracked his teenage years.
