INK SPOTS
Too busy to read the music press? Don’t worry, we’ve done it for you.
In the front of this month’s Classic Rock magazine Aerosmith talk rehab, reunion and redemp- tion. Inside, the ‘toxic twins’ (Tyler and Perry) say nothing is stopping them (“short of one of us dropping dead”) and the secret to their longevity is simply “we love playing together.” Inside, memories of Frank
Zappa’s career in the Sixties include “strangers living in the kitchen” and a “groupie eating butter like a banana” says wife Gail Zappa. While Ron Young of Little Caeser says the music business was killed in the Eighties by “a bunch of guys who were all about power and pettiness and flexing their dicks. They let the accountants take over, and that killed something sacred,” he explains. In the reviews pages, Soundgarden’s King Animal gets seven out of ten from Jon Hotten, the album is the “work of mature men”: “they have stuck to what they know will work and it does”. Rolling Stones’ GRRR! gets full marks from Martin Glover (aka Youth) from Killing Joke: “there’s no better rock- ’n’roll.” A free CD contains part one of ‘The Best of 2012’ including tracks from Rush, Down, The Darkness and Tame Impala.
