THE LONG KISS GOODNIGHT
It’s been coming for a while, but the final show of the final tour by rock icons Kiss finally arrived. And Classic Rock was there to talk to Gene and Paul about the enormity of it all, wallow in the end-ofan-era atmosphere and, yes, rock and roll all (one final) night.
BRUCE DICKINSON
A “mouthy little fucker” who got kicked out of boarding school, he went on to front the UK’s most successful heavy metal band, fence for his country, hold a commercial pilot’s licence, release solo albums, write novels and screenplays, and more. A full life? Not half.

MICK MARS
He put together arguably the most hedonistic metal band of their era, but shunned much of their outrageous excess. Now out of Mötley Crüe, he’s starting a solo career. Lived a life? You could say that.

Just under a year after Ziggy Stardust, Bowie released Aladdin Sane. His last album with the Spiders From Mars, it was a record written on the road, inspired by the USA and steeped in sex, drugs and ruthless ambition.
THE BLACK CROWES
The siblings talk about growing up, breaking out, breaking up, making up, love, hate, the pros and cons of success, Snakes, Money Makers and Harmony, dizzying highs (both kinds), heartbreaking lows, lost friends, recriminations, reunions… music and much more.

DIGGING DEEP
With Deep Purple’s original plans for their sixth album having literally gone up in smoke, Machine Head was a triumph snatched from the jaws of disaster. Plus: band members and other rock stars talk about their favourite Purple patches.
SHERYL CROW
Artist. Activist. Grammy winner. Superstar. Cancer survivor… As she airs her most socially charged songs yet on twelfth album Evolution, she looks back on the battles, triumphs, hardships, hopes and achievements that mark out her winding road.
