The new edition is out - apparently they're doing 2 covers so don't make my mistake and get the one with Franz Ferdinand on the cover...
I've only had a quick look but so far it doesn't look good -3 out 5 for the album. The interviewer doesn't seem to like the Stones, in fact he seems to get Mick a little annoyed (if we can believe what we read)...As for the Mick's dick episode i don't think Keith has any defence - he said it as a reply to a question about Micks womanising. |

In Q's rating, 3 out of 5 is quite good.
As for the Keith comments, well, It's all a joke. Keith is always having a dig at Mick. Whether it's about him becoming a brown nose or having a small dick and large balls, it's all a laugh.

An interview with the biggest band in the world and they dont even make the front cover? That speaks volumes
Q are wankers and have ignored the Stones for years (unlike the rest of the main UK music magazines who at least give the band credit for their special place in music history)
While Mojo, Uncut and even the NME have done special magazines on the Stones in recent years, Q (who actually pioneered the 'special issue' idea about ten years ago when they did an excellent one on Dylan) have still never done one - yet have done so on bands like Radiohead, for fucks sake. They have their heads so far up Thom Yorke's arse they could probably pick his nose.
I bought this mag religiously every month since it began in 1986 until about 18 months ago when I just got tired of it. All the good writers left for better magazines years ago, leaving it in the hands of a crap editor and a staff of talentless hacks. You can tell a magazine is in trouble when almost every issue has several pages 'devoted' to yet another meaningless poll that they've dreamed up to fill space.

Excellent post Gazza. I did too buy the rag until about 2 years ago but it has really lowered itself - filler and no content these days. It could be on its way out, I hope it is.
They are fuckin' prick cretins! |

disgusted by the reviewers brash comments about charlie's illness, not big, not clever. glad that mick seemingly got annoyed with him towards the end. the album review just reiterates what every other tosser has been writing about stones albums since tattoo you, no insight or thoughtfulness put into his words at all. shame on Q! |

Q is a very hateful magazine when it comes to the Stones....But the boys are really trying to promote the shit out of this album and tour as big $$$ are riding it, and as Mick says, there is a lot of competition out there.
As for Keith, why he choses to piss Mick off amazes me. I love the guy(see bandanna, Skull ring and bracelet), but I tired of this constant Mick bashing. Mick is the fucking show!!! Keith played great opening night, but Mick does it every night....the excuse that we are like an old married couple doesn't cut it-I think they really dislike each other and Keith is just more public about it..very tacky. |

Sadly, England has long abandoned the Stones.....Their new single(albeit dreadful) did not even make the top ten!!!! They will not sell out Wembley IMO. I shall still greet Gazza in New York in 06!!! Can you bring me some Cadbury Bars fron Harrods and I'll buy you some Guiness!!!! |

Quite correct re classic rock. I believe they have their market all wrong. In their 100 greatest rock frontmen Jagger wasn't even mentioned>!>!?!?!??!?!_!£(
With Bon Scott AC/DC coming top?
Strange...

Have to agree with you on that point Gazza,
I've bought it ever since issue 1 and i can count on my left hand the amount of articles they've done on the Stones.
I still buy it regularly, but whenever any other publication prints a Stones article I always make sure i buy it.
One thing classic rock does do and that is kiss the arse of Led Zeppelin, there on the cover again this month!! when their DVD came out, about a year or so ago, they dedicated pages and pages to it, however when Four Flicks came out, they had a little article in one corner.
Still, I do like my rock music, and regularly read the mag from cover to cover - something i can't i can do with any other publication.

Indeed, England loves Led Zep, Pink Floyd, Oasis, and above all Queen...the Stones have long been loathed by the media, and quite sadly, much of the general population...... |

Jagger wasn't even on the list? Did they bleach their hair with ammonia and sulfuric acid? Quite frankly, there may not be a Bon Scott if there was no Mick Jagger. |

I only have one issue of Q, and they do seem to favor The Beatles and Radiohead. While I do like both bands, I still prefer the Stones. And if I remember correctly, it did have a countdown of the 100 Best British Albums of all time. Exile was No. 3 on that list, only behind OK Computer and Revolver.
Edited to add...
However, there are only three Stones albums on this list. Sticky Fingers was at No. 11 and Let It Bleed was at No. 28.

I bought every issue of Q religiously from April '95 (?, Michael Stipe on the cover, anyhow) until 2 or 3 years ago. My early musical knowledge was founded in it. I remember reading about Kraftwerk, Elvis Costello, George Clinton, dance music...well everything! Everyone is right, it went downhill rapidly. Suddenly everything was Travis this, Coldplay that, U2 the other.
Boring!
As I remember, Bridges To Babylon also got 3 stars in Q when it came out - "A good modern rock record" or something. I never take notice of their reviews or opinions anymore though.
I think Uncut is probably the new Q. |
