INTERVIEWS & FEATURES

A new way of writing, with new people involved, but still the same old Goo Goo Dolls melodic magic. John ‘Knievel’ Rzeznik shares the story of the creation of vibrant new album ‘Miracle Pill’ and explains why he stays away from social media. Finnish rock opera star Tarja Turunen looks inwards for the inspiration for her uplifting seventh solo album, Status Quo’s Francis Rossi talks about life, and a ripping new album, without Rick Parfitt, and in the great tradition of Frank Sinatra Skillet singer John Cooper talks about doing things his way and coming out ‘Victorious’. We also talk to Volbeat frontman Michael Poulsen, monsterman Mr Lordi (p22), and we interview Hammerfall, Visionatica, The New Roses, Twilight Force, Thobbe Englund, Billy Sherwood, Equilibrium, The Offering, The Fluffy Jackets, Pattern-Seeking Animals, Cirkus Prutz, and new Brit hopefuls Found Missing?.
