MIKE CHIPPERFIELD

This issue’s amazing montage cover was brought to life by Magictorch’s Mike Chipperfield. Magictorch were founded in 1999, and the Brighton-based company have worked their magic (pun intended) on many covers for Classic Rock,

Metal Hammer and Prog magazines, to name but three. See what else they get up to at magictorch.com

POLLY GLASS

Features Editor Polly enjoyed poring over some (okay, a lot) of rock’s many highlights of the past 20 years for our Top 100 countdown – and only wishes we could have included more. As of now she has had

Stacy’s Mom, Party Hard, Fat Lip and more on heavy rotation in her head for the past month.

“‘Stacy’s mom has got it going…’ SHUT UP, BRAIN!” (Are you okay, Polly? Ed.)
