Revolver Magazine

Pros: Excellent writing and photos; info and interviews with metal bands both legendary and underground

Cons: Whiners saying bands on cover aren't "metal enough." C'mon! They feature Mastodon inside!

The Bottom Line: A must-read for metal fans

Review: I have two magazine subscriptions. First there's Rolling Stone, the publication that loves to tell us how iconic it is. Then there's Revolver, the magazine that, at least for heavy metal fans, doesn't need to inform us of its greatness; it just keeps ...

Pros: Covers a TON of musical styles; Good journalism; Good photos

Cons: Only 4X/year; ads are still heavier than I'd like

Review: Okay, I'll admit it; I grabbed this magazine off the bookstore shelf like a man dying in the desert will grab at the shimmers of a mirage, hoping for water. Like that same man, I expected to go dry, but there was still that hope that something might...

Pros: long articles that keeps the reader's interest, short articles that are more comprehensive than most mags, more comprehensive album reviews, the desire to be FAIR to the artist shines through, it's everything RS used to be

Cons: it's only a quarterly publication, a couple of the features are rip-offs from RS

Review: There has been something missing of late in music magazines, especially those that claim to cover rock music. Rolling Stone has gotten worse and worse by the year, slowly becoming everything it used to hate back in the 70s, which happens to be...

Pros: Actually focuses on the MUSIC.

Cons: Only comes out quarterly.

The Bottom Line: Outguns the competition

Review: Good music magazines are getting harder to find these days. The big two: Rolling Stone and Spin have fallen very far behind. Rolling Stone, while readable in small doses, has turned into more or less a lifestyle magazine while Spin, despite occasionally...

Pros: The articles; the dead-on reviews; the interviews; the off-kilter features

Cons: None

Review: I cannot say enough good things about the brand-spankin' new music magazine, Revolver. Created by Brad Tolinski and Tom Beaujour, it is everything the now limp-wristed Rolling Stone ought to be. Admittedly, I was a little unsure about this mag. Putting...

Pros: Good pics and information about groups

Cons: Needs more articles

Review: I buy this magazine because it features bands that I like that I can't find in any other magazines. I like the way it has a bunch of pictures of groups in there and interesting statements about singers that I never knew before. I don't think this...

Pros: Interesting Articles

Cons: Only comes out 4 times a year!!

Review: Revolver magazine is the best magazine on the market today. I was pulled in with the Premiere Issue, which featured Jim Morrison on the cover. I was delighted to find a magazine that covered classic rock as well as the current hard rock bands.

Pros: Very Good Read for Music Lovers

Cons: It's Only Published Quarterly

Review: While browsing magazines recently, the cover of "Revolver" with Jim Morrison caught my eye. Since it was a premiere issue of a new music magazine I thought I would give it a read.
"Revolver" is not quite as edgy as...

Pros: More in-depth articles and better writers than most competing 'rock/metal' magazines

Cons: Not enough versatility and TOO MANY ads

The Bottom Line: Marginally recommended, if only for the occasional awesome features and for the priceless Phil Anselmo interview/poster included a few months ago...

Review: Revolver magazine makes a fairly bold statement on its front cover: "The world's loudest rock magazine!" Now, something like this has the power to immediately attract all consumers with a flair for rock and metal music. However, I think everyone ...

Pros: Hey, it comes with a free CD

Cons: Snotty, tired articles, and that same dreaded Jim Morrison pic on the cover

Review: I picked up the premiere issue of Revolver for one reason and one reason only: It came with a free CD.

Personally, I've never liked music magazines. I've found them to be slightly arrogant, filled with erroneous information about pop...
