There's also an interview with Ron Asheton of The Stooges, where he's talking about their new tour and record. He also disses the "new" punk rock and reveals what he does in his spare time.
There are also ten pages of exclusive photos by Danny Fields, including five pages of live Stooges pics from 1973 (the Max's show), which show Iggy in his prime. There are also never-before-published pics of the Ramones, as well as a photo of Patti Smith with Bob Dylan and photos of Television (with and without Richard Hell).
There's also an interview with Jayne County where she disses Bowie and talks at length about her role as the first transpunk. There are some great pics of her from the 1970s.
There's some coverage of new bands as well, prominently an exclusive interview (with exclusive pics) of the Stalkers, the hottest band in New York City. There's also an interview with The Rats (not the KFC rats, this is the NYC Rats), and No Truth Lies from Florida. There's also a look at the Brooklyn DIY scene by Pat Byrnes, director of the "Saving CBGB" film doc.
The Listening Party reviews around 30 new CDs, and the reviewers include members of The Bullys--last issue's cover band!
There's the usual wacky stuff too. Robert Romagnoli contributes his "Updated Ramones" lyrics (very funny stuff). There's a couple of new Bosko strips by John Holmstrom, a new Demons comic strip by Avidor, a new strip by Spivak, and a review of the Rat Fink film by Trembles.
So what are you waiting for? Buy it, already!
