For this issue, we decided to fire up our time machine (it sorta looks like the one in Project Almanac, btw) and revisit the hell out of the ’90s. If you somehow haven’t seen it yet, it goes a bit like this:
* Smell-O-Vision! A grungy guitar guide to the ’90s: After the electric guitar shredded itself to death in the Eighties, it had to rebuild and start over again. This is the story of how something that smelled like Teen Spirit ruled the '90s (by Brad Tolinski).
* Never mind Nevermind! 10 overlooked rock albums from the ’90s that are worth a second, third or 37th listen.
* Days of future past: A guide to the retro designs, digital innovations and misfit toys that defined guitar gear and technology in the '90s (by Chris Gill).
* The greatest solos, riffs and forgotten heroes of the ’90s: A hoard of guitar stars – including Dave Mustaine, Marty Friedman, Scott Ian, Joe Bonamassa, Paul Gilbert and Nita Strauss (not to mention Blackbyrd McKnight, Steve Stevens, Mark Tremonti, Nancy Wilson, Gavin Rossdale and K.K. Downing) choose the '90s' best stuff.
* We’ve got ourselves a live one: 10 essential live rock and metal albums from the ’90s.
* Those happy nu years: 10 late-’90s nu metal gems. (What, you didn’t think we were gonna mention nu metal?!? Ha!)
* It’s all a Blur: The rise and fall of Britpop, the ’90s’ other massive, guitar-based rock movement. Well, one of them, anyway (by Jon Wiederhorn).
Plus exclusive new interviews with Kim Thayil of Soundgarden, Vernon Reid of Living Colour, Marc Ford from the Black Crowes’ classic era, Andy Bell of Ride and Oasis, Art Alexakis of Everclear and Brian Vander Ark of the Verve Pipe.
