Classic Rock Magazine Summer 2011 Slash Myles Kennedy Guns N Roses Guitar SKU 1513

Original Classic Rock Magazine – Summer 2011, featuring Slash prominently on the front cover alongside Myles Kennedy, making this a strong collectable issue for fans of hard rock, guitar music and the wider Guns N’ Roses / Slash catalogue.

The cover uses a striking studio-style photograph with Slash front and centre in his trademark rock look, complete with dark curly hair, leather jacket and a sunburst Gibson Les Paul-style guitar. Myles Kennedy appears alongside him holding a dark-finished guitar, reinforcing the issue’s strong guitar and live-rock focus.

A large handwritten-style quote dominates the right side of the cover:

“When you’re rolling your rock up the mountain, it’s hard work. Then you get to the peak, and the damn thing rolls away from you. You lose control…”

The cover then promotes the feature as exploring “The tension and excess behind Use Your Illusion”, pointing directly to the turbulent and hugely successful Guns N’ Roses era associated with the Use Your Illusion albums.

This is therefore much more than a generic Slash cover: it is a particularly relevant issue for collectors interested in Guns N’ Roses history, Slash’s career, Myles Kennedy, guitar culture, classic hard rock and the Use Your Illusion period.

The familiar oversized Classic Rock masthead dominates the top of the magazine, together with the strapline “High Voltage / Rock ’N’ Roll”.

Condition

Pre-owned / used condition.

The magazine presents well overall, with the front cover retaining strong colour and a clean, highly displayable image.

Visible condition points from the supplied photograph include light edge and corner wear, particularly around the lower edge and lower corners. There is also some minor rubbing and handling wear around the spine/left edge, together with light surface wear consistent with age and previous storage.

The bottom edge shows a little general rubbing and the corners are not perfectly sharp. There are also very small marks/scuffs visible across parts of the cover, but no obvious major tears, large creases or heavy staining can be seen from the supplied image.

The cover remains firmly presentable and visually striking, especially given its age.

Please inspect the supplied photograph carefully, as it forms an important part of the condition description.
