This month’s contributors

MICK WALL

A former editor of CR, Mick also wrote the cover stories for the first five issues, while this month he appears to have written half the mag!

His next book, Two Riders

Were Approaching, out in November, is a vivid account of the Jimi Hendrix story. He also joins Danny and Luke from Thunder as host on their Unplugged & Unscripted tour in October.

STEPHEN DALTON

Stephen has been writing about music since the dawn of the industrial revolution, initially using a quill and parchment to review colliery brass bands for the NME. This issue he profiles Wagnerian porno-metallers Rammstein (p50), who once blew his tiny mind with a life-changing show involving penis-shaped foam cannons, simulated buggery and cannibalism. He has never been the same since.

DAVID SINCLAIR

Songwriter and bandleader David Sinclair has led a charmed life as both a musician and music journalist. As a contributor to The Times and Rolling Stone, he got to meet many of the biggest names in rock’n’roll. This month he got to hang out with blues guitarist Robin Trower (p72).
