Just got the April 2012 issue in the mail today. Missing over 25 pages when they glued this together so it kinda sucks. Poor quality control. Missing most of this month's Tabs and who knows what else. Customer service can't send me another.... only extend my subscription. I can understand if I requested an older issue but this is the current issue. Bummer!!!!

I was anticipating a couple new transcriptions to some of the new van halen songs in this issue. What gives? Do we really need to rehash hot for teacher? Its 25 plus years old and has been transcribed many times before. I would have liked to have seen outta space bullethead china town blood and fire. Something!
