Goodbye, Spaceman: this issue we have a big 11-page special on Ace Frehley, the larger-than-life Kiss axeman who passed away in October last year. We survey the great guitarist's career, as well as the best guitar moments across Kiss's entire catalogue (and the guitars he used to pull 'em off).

We also chat to Megadeth icon Dave Mustaine about the thrash legends' imminent self-titled LP. Their seventeenth slab will also be their last, and our interview takes in the whole breadth of Mustaine's career.

Artist profiles don't stop there: Also inside is Perth melodic death metal trio Vanta, and —for something completely different—an in-depth look at the life and times of T-Bone Walker. We also chat to the crew behind the Australian Guitar Show, which will skip Melbourne this year in favour of Sydney (exclusively to stoke state rivalries, of course).
