Why is it so sensual?

[bombaysaffires]

it's almost as if her face in the second picture would go better with his face in the first picture

[KarmaContestant]

Goodness! When was the last time Stevie graced the cover of a magazine?!?!

[Fireflies]

[Christopher]

Goodness! When was the last time Stevie graced the cover of a magazine?!?!
Well, not counting Mojo's recent "Rumours" reissue cover extravaganza, it was probably back in June 07' when she appeared on the cover of Performing Songwriter

[Macfanforever]

Does anybody have these mag's in pdf to share.

[Jondalar]

I like the first picture. The 2nd one looks to cutesy.

[HejiraNYC]

Given their somewhat, um, unusual treatment of "Sisters of the Moon," I love the fact that Camper Van Beethoven is sharing space with Stevie on the cover.

[Sanne2]

Yes, but they used an old photo from 2005.
I love these new pics! I wonder who the photographer is?

That's news to me - I would have guessed 96/97 during The Dance!!

[fairydust75]

Mama's lookin' Smoken.....

Thought that may have gone thru her head at the time these pics were taken:
"MAMA LIKES!!!!!" :xoxo:


:sorry:

[I'msoAfraid95]

Has Stevie got a new boyfriend? :lol: Seriously they do look good together.

[PenguinHead]

I love these pictures! But I'm not familiar with this magazine. Is it a American or European mag? I have to get it!

[poetinmyheart]

I love these pictures! But I'm not familiar with this magazine. Is it a American or European mag? I have to get it!

I have never heard of the magazine either. According to the website http://www.relix.com/ their main contact address is in New York.

[MacMan]

That's news to me - I would have guessed 96/97 during The Dance!!

Actually she was on a cover of "M" Magazine in May, 2011... It's a music magazine.

[On Ice]

Hey Dave, Stevie, find a recording studio, now, and make us a smokin' hot new album. :nod:

Good grief. It probably the first Stevie Nicks CD I'll Frisbee into the woods.

I always like to try skeet shooting.LOL.........


Sorry I could not resist...LOL........................

I had to much apple cider tonight......................

You crack me up sometimes Skip. Too much apple cider?

LOL

[redbird]

Reading the byline or whatnot actually makes the first one more poignant to me, like he's kind of absorbing her lost dreams, though I am hunky dory with the unexpectedly sensual interpretation too.

No offense to Dave Grohl as I think he is amazing and all...but this cover ticks me off due to the fact that we're still using 10-year-old photos of Fleetwood Mac and not a single new photo of them has emerged for promoting the tour.

That's my only gripe.

But, I think she does look beautiful here.

We should all just print out current pictures of the four of them, past them together and hold them up throughout the concert. Maybe they'd get the message.

It could be worse .They all could pose in front of Oprah's Photographer and look like crap.Her Photographers must of skipped the day in Photography school when the chapter on lighting was taught .

Maybe Stevie was being a raging diva and this is their way of punishing her?

[NoLight77]

Barnes and Noble said they don't have this magazine. Where can we get it?

It could be.

That artist who painted Kate the Duchess of Cambridge must be related.LOL....

Dave Grohl & Stevie Nicks: The Old Dreams & New Realities of Rock and Roll

We are extremely excited about our latest cover story that centers on a conversation between these two legends. While decades separate these artists, a shared passion and drive to make music—with their steady bands, solo or with newfound friends—unites them. Over the course of more than 5,000 words, the candid conversation explores the triumphs and challenges that each has faced while illuminating the rapidly changing landscape faced by newer artists.

Below is an excerpt from the cover story.

Though you two came of musical age at different times, the industry was healthier at either of those times, whether it was the mid-‘90s or the early ‘70s. Musicians today face a much tougher reality between a lack of monetary support from record labels, the new economics of music sales in the digital age and even higher gas prices.

Stevie: They’re hardly getting paid and [companies are] taking all their merchandising and part of their salary. They have nothing.

How do the new Stevie Nicks and Dave Grohls fight to be heard?

Stevie: It’s very hard.

Dave: The reason why Stevie Nicks is really popular is because she’s Stevie Nicks. There weren’t 10,000 Stevie Nickses trying to get a record deal back then or now. There’s just one. The reason why she’s so popular is because of what she does and not everyone can do what she does. It’s the same thing with, “Why did Nirvana become popular? Were there seven other Nirvanas in line waiting to put out a record at that time?” Not really. Kurt [Cobain] was an amazing songwriter with an incredible voice.

Stevie: And incredible charisma.

Dave: He was such a gifted person that if you had met another Kurt Cobain and given him a record deal, do you think the same thing would have happened? If you handed those songs to someone else and said, “Hey, record this record,” it wouldn’t have sounded like Nirvana because it wasn’t Nirvana. The reason why those things happened was because it was what it was, but at the same time, the industry didn’t really…they weren’t waiting for Nirvana to become the biggest band in the world. They pressed 3,500 copies of Nevermind the week it came out, because they thought it would take six months to sell those ****ing records. The reason why musicians become popular is because—I can’t say that, because a lot of really ****ty musicians become very popular—if you’re really great at what you do and you’re, in some way, able to share it with everyone, then you’ll be recognized for it. I believe that.

You [also] have to define success. What do you consider success? I used to think, “All I want to do is ****ing be able to buy corn dogs with money from playing music. Instead of selling equipment, I’d like to be able to play a show and feed myself. That would be awesome.”

Stevie: And have a cool little place.

Dave: I don’t think people should consider a career in music—I honestly don’t because, ultimately, you’re probably going to be disappointed—but it shouldn’t stop you from making music. Playing crazy, noisy punk rock in 1987 wasn’t going to kick Michael Bolton out of the charts, but everybody did it because they loved doing it. Look at the people in the Sound City movie: Neil Young. Why is Neil Young Neil Young? Because he’s ****ing Neil Young, that’s why. Why is Paul Paul? Because he’s Paul. All of those people, I honestly believe, the reason why people appreciate what they do is they’re the only people that do what they do.

Stevie: Now, the record companies don’t have any money because a record used to sell for a certain amount of money or a CD sold for 18 bucks. The record company got $10 and then they put that in their coffers and they built that up so they had money to sign the new Dave Grohl or the new Stevie Nicks. [They] helped her or him to morph into the great person they were going to be or the great band they were going to be. Now, kids don’t have that because these record companies—****ing record companies—they can’t do anything for you.

My record [2010’s In Your Dreams], that I love more than anything I’ve ever done, my record company didn’t help me with that. I went out and toured for two ****ing years and said, “I’m on a mission. I’m going to play these damn songs, six of them, every night in every city I can until I can walk away and feel like I’ve done everything I can possibly do.” And I’m Stevie Nicks! So how is it for that little girl that’s 22 years old and is as good as me and writes great songs and is really cute and is ready to rock, but can’t support herself?

There’s no record company that’s going to sign her or, if they do sign her, they’re going to change her into a slightly pseudo-rap artist and they’re going to make her wear creepy clothes and make her sing lyrics she hates and tell her she can’t do her own songs. Then her soul is going to die and then what is she going to do?

Stevie was pretty fiesty. :lol:

[michelej1]

Yes, Stevie was indeed fusty. But I don't agree that the record companies don't have money. They do. They like to throw out all the stastistcs about how much piracy has cost them. But when you ask them just to show their PROFIT margins, profits have actually risen for them. They lost money during the Napster heyday and many small labels went out of business, but there has been a recovery since those bleak times.

WB isn't poor, Stevie.

Oh, I think they have plenty of money. But I don't think they give these huge advances to artists like they used to in the old days. At least, not so freely.... they're not going to invest in you just to give you a chance. You've got to already be a cash cow (or else have the immediate potential of being a cash cow) in order for them to lay any big cards on the table.

[KarmaContestant]

Then her soul is going to die and then what is she going to do?



This statement is humorous, but shows how out of touch Stevie is with music, today. There are, literally, dozens and dozens of young female artists that are enjoying success, with no pseudo-rap music on their albums and no creepy clothes. :lol:

When you do get an advance, it's harder to pay back because of the lack of promotion and radio play.

It all sounds great when you hear you're getting a $2M advance, then you find out your record costs $2.5M to record, and then you pay for videos, and then you pay your tour musicians, your record sells squat and you owe more than you'll ever make with another record.

[holidayroad]

it's almost as if her face in the second picture would go better with his face in the first picture

That was my first thought after I looked at the two covers!

Does anybody have these mag's in pdf to share.

Here are the PDF versions of each if you still need them.

http://www.relix.com/news/2013/03/28/dave-grohl-stevie-nicks-the-old-dreams-new-realities-of-rock-and-roll

In addition, Relix will be revealing one exclusive photo from Dave Grohl and Stevie Nicks’ Sound City Players concert at the Hammerstein Ballroom on February 14 via our Twitter everyday until the issue hits newsstands on April 9. We’re going to start tomorrow, so make sure to follow us so that you don’t miss out on these previously unreleased photos from renowned rock photographer Danny Clinch.

What digital music sharing exposed was that the record industry was excessive, bloated, and mismanaged. They had to increase the price of CDs to pay far too many useless positions and services. Once they downsized and consolidated operations, everything was fine and the profits went back up. The record industry knows now that it can't get away with charging that much for music anymore.

[vivfox]

So how is it for that little girl that’s 22 years old and is as good as me and writes great songs and is really cute and is ready to rock, but can’t support herself?

Then her soul is going to die and then what is she going to do?


In a sense Stevie is talking about herself here(as she usually does). In 1991 her record company forced her to record Sometimes It's A Beach. They told her if she didn't work with Jon Bon Jovi her career would be toast.

Did they make her wear creepy clothes?

[RavenOfRhiannon]

Michele

Hey! I loved her Ming the Merciless coat!!

[vivfox]

Did they make her wear creepy clothes?


Well, in 1973 they made her take off her clothes(shirt). In 2003 Lindsey pressured her to wear that granny sweater to suppress her clothes. So yeah.

[SpyNote]

I just finished reading the entire Relix article (http://stevienicksnews.net/2013/04/20/exclusive-the-old-dreams-and-new-realities-of-rock-and-roll/). Wow, Stevie comes across as really ignorant and uneducated about technology when she starts ranting about the Internet and piracy. We've all heard her random comments about being an outspoken technophobe, but to see it in print is quite unsettling. Her views about the Internet are just like anyone who doesn't have a clear understanding about something or someone unknown, unfamiliar, or different. Fear and hate take over and they start to dictate how you behave. It's a shame that Stevie looks at the glass half empty on this issue. If she were able to get her head around how the Internet could actually help her sell her new music today, she wouldn't have to be working so hard to promote it herself through touring. Stevie needs to go to the library or the community center like the other seniors and take basic Internet and computing skills.

[pryderi]

I emailed the cover photos to my sister. She wrote back, "are they trying to be Buckingham Nicks?" And then I thought, "now that would be a cool idea to have a photo session like that for the release of the buckingham nicks cd."

Oh, these are great. I love the picture where her hair is over her face. With the way her bodice is cut, it's very sexy. Thank you for the scans.

[GarboSpeaks!]

Has anyone gotten both issues they signed up for or were promised? Has anyone been able to obtain purchased individual copies from the magazine? I signed up forever ago, and was very surprised to see one copy arrive 4/8 or so, and then not a thing more about the 2nd alternate copy, and am getting a bit of the run around from Relix. Very nice people, and quick to reply-but no solid answers :(

When I went to Barnes&Noble and saw the one cover issue, I looked up online about just ordering both covers cuz I remembered they offered that at one time. But they were $7 each plus $5 shipping so I just snagged the issue they had. And that one has the pic in it that they used for the other cover (in sepia tone) so I just got what I could only cuz it's not often that you see Stevie on a mag cover so I grabbed it while i was there.

[johnnystorms]

who's the photographer?

[JeremyGloff]

Just wanted to throw out my two cents. I called all the Barnes and Noble in the Tampa area and those that had this in stock only had the cover with Dave's eyes open. No one had the eyes closed version. I happily picked up my "eyes open" copy though.

[kak125]

i freaking love these pics. i swear stevie just gets more beautiful with age. she just looks so radiant lately. thanks for posting these!

[SuiteShangriLa]

who's the photographer?

Cover photos were shot by Danny Clinch in his NYC studio on Feb 14 2013
