Customer Reviews
Average Rating: Rating: - Not As Good As it Used to Be I have been a faithful subscriber to RS for almost twenty years, and I have witnessed the magazine slowly transform from a credible rock and roll journal to the music equivilent of Tiger Beat. In the 1980s, Rolling Stone's passion was music, and it often gave well-deserved nods to artists that were on the cutting edge: U2, Prince, REM, the Smiths, and so on. These days, its attempts to sell copies are getting more desperate as they feature people like Britney, NSYNC, and BSB on their cover sometimes as much as twice a year. I have nothing against teen pop; after all, RS gave Duran Duran a cover story in the 1980s. But it's troubling to see a magazine follow trends when they used to create them. The record reviews are, for the most part, dubious. Rob Sheffield is one of the usual suspects. Three-and-a-half stars for Britney and Destiny's Child? More trustworthy critics include longtime writer David Fricke, Anthony DeCurtis, and Barry Walters. These guys seem to know what they're talking about when they review records. The only section of the magazine worth reading is the movies section by Peter Travers, a critic I may not always agree with but one I do respect. Travers has enough heart to go against the grain of public opinion by trashing shallow, self-important, corporate driven, Holllywood movies. It really seems that he is criticizing the very hype machine the rest of Rolling Stone seems to embrace. All in all, RS has its moments, but its getting disappointing within recent years. Here's hoping it can regain the edge it once had back in the 1970s and 1980s. Rating: - Sex sells, but are we forgetting the music?? Rolling Stone magazine has almost completely lost touch with what the music scene is all about. Pop culture will always be what most people want to read about, but what about the real revolutionaries? There is cutting edge, genre defining music being made everyday by bands who need to be given the chance to be recognized. Rollingstone mag. has become yet another publication (like the new Blender music mag) to feature beautiful people and their often times simple music. Here's a suggestion RS, sell your gorgeous pictures of sexy artists to Hollywood. I'm interested in reading meaningful reviews on musicians, not entertainers. Rating: - where is zero stars when you need it Listen, if you want to read a magazine based on music,don't get this. All it talks about is celebrities and movie stars most recent moments that have nothing to do with music
