R.Borlax Posted March 23, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2006 I personally like Rocksound.i used to get that when i liked stuff like static x and deftonesbut im looking for something that pretty much covers wide ranges of music and gigs in the ukalso orkus is far too goth for me as i cant navigate the fucking site Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larsen B Posted March 23, 2006 Report Share Posted March 23, 2006 Don't read one magazine or website if you are looking for a wide range, read lots of different ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'd be good to have a read of a magazine that covers all kinds of genres as opposed to magazines, pigeon-holed to the current trend in music Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Posted March 24, 2006 Report Share Posted March 24, 2006 I remember I once found a magazine called Brave Words and Bloody Knuckles which was most cool for the rather heavey varietys of music (The one I found had Anthrax and Nevermore in it, and more stuff like that) but I never managed to find it again hereI occasionally buy Q, which varies between Radiohead/Pixiesesc more popular styles of 'alternative' music, and some more trendy stuff, which is ok if you need something to read but I wouldn't buy it oftenReally there are no good magazines that give you a decent selection of 'alternative' music - by that I mean pretty much anything from Radiohead to Metallica, I guess such a broad area would leave most people only reading a couple of articles out of the whole thing and ignoring the rest, apart from the few awkward sods who like a bit of everythingThe only magazine I buy regularly is a guitar one (Guitar Buyer) David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bluesxman Posted March 24, 2006 Report Share Posted March 24, 2006 I like Uncut. even though they rely on the same cover stories far too often (Beatles/Stones/Springsteen pop up too often), they also have some really good, decent length articles on more obscure bands. Also lots of good stuff on movies so it's a good mixture of topics. Mojo can have alright stuff in it but I buy it very infrequently based on what's on offer. Q is a lot better than it was years ago, they have got more with the times, lol. I ALMOST bought NME today when I saw Yeah Yeah Yeahs on the cover but resisted, I don't want to fall into buying it as a habit again....

Jamesy Posted March 24, 2006 Report Share Posted March 24, 2006 I buy Kerrang! and NME every Wednesday, I get Music Week in the post, I buy Rock Sound and Metal Hammer monthly, I get The List (although strictly not a 'music' mag), but in my humble opinion, the best music magazine around is.. Under the Radar. It's fucking brilliant.http://www.undertheradarmag.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
