Q Magazine special
 

Did anyone here get the newest Q Magazine? Any new nuggets we could get from it?

I have tried to purchase but I guess it's still not available? Any UK'ers know for sure?

I am in Sweden and got it yesterday. Haven't read it yet though...

Nothing really new in it but you can certainly buy it through iTunes (which is what I did so I don't have to wait until it appears in my local newsagency - though I'll purchase it then as well, tbh). Also appears that the newest edition - October - of Uncut (another good UK music magazine) has FM stuff in it, including a new interview with Mick. Not available for download yet but will post when it is. Have to put this in two separate posts because it's so long, sorry! xoxo

Thanks for the scans, Nicole. Love seeing all these little nuggets in one huge spread.

Thanks for the upload, I found these two quotes rather funny :laugh:

And the pages from Uncut - mostly just an interview with Mick.

I'm not one of the heaviest posters on The Ledge, but I love it and think it's a wonderful resource. Having said that, I'd like to ask that those who read the Q interview on this forum please consider subscribing to the magazine, or at the very least purchase this issue. I'm a former music journalist who worked very, very long hours for years, but have had to (sadly) change my line of work because most of the magazines I worked for have closed up shop. Every music magazine still in print is fighting to survive, including the big ones, and every time someone posts content publicly that was not intended to be free, it's another nail in the coffin. I understand wanting everyone to be able to read about their favorite band, but please understand the unintended consequences.

Oh, I know I posted these but I'd second that for sure. I bought both these online and will be buying hard copies too when they reach us. A lot of those bigger UK magazines still have great stuff on bands I like (Q, Uncut, Mojo and The Word before it departed not that long ago) and are totally worth it.

I mean, these are nice for being able to read immediately and online but I'm rather partial to hard copies myself. So, apologies to those who do get frustrated by the huge screenshots I've posted and hopefully they won't put anyone off buying the actual magazine/s if they intended to do so...

Oh, I would definitely buy the magazines if it were available here too. ;)

Thank you so much for posting both of these! I have to say there are many ledgies that are so kind enough to post anything and everything for the fans that are less technologically savvy (me lol).

Although it isn't really anything new I love how the articles are put together in general. Some great pics and not just straight interviews, there are some good tidbits of information. I think my favorite is the "uncle Buck, the bands jittery savior" lol oh Lindsey and his artsy demeanor :]

I suppose this is a rather daunting article...however, I couldn't help but notice the blurb about Future Games on Page 21. No, Christine McVie did not sing Woman of 1000 Years.

^^^Your comment beat me to the Woman of a Thousand Years blunder.

Is Heroes "far better" than Mystery?

Does the guitar work on "Bright Fire" sound like Kirwan?

Is Kiln House a "slight" record?

Is "Bare Trees" more pop-oriented than its predecessor?

I admire this guy's enthusiasm and his willingness to acknowledge the 70-74 period but I disagree with so much of his critical judgment.

I do appreciate, however, that this was posted, scanned so well, too!

The reason it is 'scanned' so well is because it wasn't scanned. One good thing about buying a copy of the magazine through the iTunes store and reading/screencapping it on an iPad, I guess. :D

Thanks for the sharing these, Nicole.

I will definitely be buying multiple copies of this issue (and the Uncut feature too), and will probably be buying copies for others, too. I think many fans do this.

Thank you Nicole.

Nicole, thanks for posting this.

I did find the piece to be a little confusing, overall.

Is this article comprised of interviews from 1997 except for the Q&A with Mick?

Interesting quote from Mick about WB. How are you still sort of with a record label but release a new EP independently?

New favorite phrase: "Doing the hokey-cokey." :laugh:

Wow, surprised to see WISYA listed as one of the jewels in their crown, but it's great that with such a large and diverse catalog, everyone finds something different.

I found it funny that Karen was aghast that Stevie told the interviewer that John McVie drinks too much. Stevie also said that John has beautiful eyes and she could have easily dated him but couldn't deal with his drinking, which I find amusing considering Joe Walsh was drunk all through the 1980's. Another interesting tidbit was Chris telling the reporter she was going to quit the band and move back to England and hadn't even told the band at that point.

Thank you Nicole for posting the entire article.

So, if Stevie was on her way to Buffalo, that was the end of November
1997. Interesting comments. Because I had been laughing that I've never really heard her talk about John's looks until now, but she mentioned them then. Yes, John's puppy dog eyes are his best feature.

Also funny that she was saying that Lindsey's girlfriend was good for him and would straighten him out. She does indeed have Crystal Vision. I didn't think she started talking that way until after Will was born.

The only place to find these magazines around here is Barnes & Noble, where I stopped after work yesterday only to find that the September issue of Q was already on the stand! I asked an employee if they had copies of the previous one still around, and was told they "immediately get rid of" old magazines once the new issue is out...? :shrug:

Looked for Uncut as well, but they also had September's issue (and the Mick interview is in October, right?).

Neal, you want to look for the OCTOBER issue of Q... that's the one with Fleetwood Mac, not August. Both magazines are the October issues.

Yup, it's the October issue. :nod:

A friend of mine from the UK got one for me. Just don't know when she will send it, but I'm excited to get a hard copy.

The UK mags are always delayed in the US, so it may be a few weeks before the October issues hit the newsstands. PM me if you can't find the issues. They're easy to find up here.

Thank you both!

I really do know how these things work, but was having a total blond moment (no offense!)... :o
