GET READY TO ROCK!!!!!

When I say Rolling Stone magazine is the most iconic music magazine of all time, I well and truly mean it!

 Kurt Cobain, Jagger, Metallica, Timberlake, Pink, Jackson, Adele, Spears….the list goes on to infinity!
These names are but a drop in the ocean of the intense talent that this amazing magazine has brought us since its inception back in 1967. Generating in-depth stories about the people that move our lives is what this magazine does best!

The news on people’s lips at the moment is the exciting announcement that Rolling Stone magazine will have its very first South African issue.
This is the best news I have heard in ages in regards to music in South Africa.

Rolling Stone magazine will feature articles and personal profiles on musicians, artists and other iconic individuals who are making waves in our world. It will also tackle the very latest thought-provoking stories from screen, radio, fashion…indeed the entertainment industry as a whole!

The Rolling Stone South African edition will be put together on South African soil (Cape Town) by 3i Publishing.

Yes it will feature articles on both local and international bands. But on a deeper level, what does this mean for us as South Africans?
Well for me this news is super exciting because it means that SA music will now have a solid connection with leaders in the music industry in the States. This could very well mean more record deals for our local boys. We need all the exposure we can get and being connected to music maestros like Rolling Stone is a BIG step in the right direction. I hope that many of the articles will wind up in the US edition…and all around the world.

The first issue of Rolling Stone magazine went on sale on Wednesday 23 November 2011…that was yesterday, which means they are already available! Wow, so very excited.

The Rolling Stone South African edition will set you back R34.95.
You can grab a copy at CNA, Look & Listen, Exclusive Books, Musica, Spar (nationwide), Pick ‘n Pay Hyper and various other selected outlets across the country.
 

This is pretty minimal wallet damage in my opinion…however let’s get a proper look at the thing and put together a proper review.
I have high expectations. Which is probably dangerous, but what the heck let’s take it as it comes, hehe!

The Rolling Stone South African edition is here….GO GET IT!
