Features
LET'S DANCE!
With his determination, dedication, energy and wide-ranging talent, one man has taken the Foo Fighters from effectively a solo project to one of the biggest bands in the world. Now, with their new album, they want to make you move your feet
CHRIS SHIFLETT
The guitarist/vocalist joined the Foos in ’99. And no, he didn’t turn down a Guns N’ Roses audition to do so
NATE MENDEL
The Foos’ bassist since the beginning is also the singer, songwriter and guitarist with his own band, Lieutenant
PAT SMEAR

THE HAUNTED HOUSE, THE MAN IN BLACK AND THE CLASSIC ALBUM
For the members of Rainbow, memories of recording their third album might be filled with sackings, seances, spooks and being scared shitless, but they also made a truly great record: Long Live Rock ’N’ Roll
FOUR TO THE FLOOR

From legends to latter-day stars, these are the drummers you need to know
HEART OF DARKNESS

CHOSEN BY TAYLOR HAWKINS
They were an influence on so many people.

THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO BOB MOULD
The internet has gone off the rails. He has a problem with hypocrites. Being a musician is a luxury. Getting older brings its rewards… These are among the things that shape his world view
CHOSEN BY DAVE GROHL
Bob Mould should be placed in the highest

CHOSEN BY NATE MENDEL
I’m the opposite of Taylor Hawkins – I

Kicks Outta The Jam
Channelling his carefree youth and working with a songwriting partner licking the wounds of divorce, Stone Gossard has put together a side project to rival his day job in the mighty Pearl Jam. “This band,” he says of Painted Shield, “is some serious assassins.”
