spectoremg Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 [quote name='James Nada' timestamp='1495747406' post='3306373'] Some readers may be disappointed to find that the Macca interview is over twenty years old. [/quote]Yes BGM are quite honest about it but it's still disappointing considering the front cover pic is misleadingly current. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonteee Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 (edited) I felt the same. They do state it's an old interview in the preamble, but to make him the cover star based on a 20 year old interview - references to George being alive and all - is a bit much. To be honest, I feel there's been a change (negative in my view) in the quality of the mag since Future took over.

Grassie Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 My copy does not have that Sgt Pepper image anywhere in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yank Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 Well, has he actually said or played or wrote anything interesting in the past 20 years? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fretmeister Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 Future have pretty much ruined Guitarist too. Many old readers on the fretboard forum (that forum coming from the death of the Intermusic and Musicradar forums) don't bother anymore and switched to "Guitar and Bass" instead.

Geek99 Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 is that a recent picture ? I know he's so talented and everything, I just find him personally very annoying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spectoremg Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 The more I consider this the angrier I get. At what point did the BGM team sit down and decide they were going to run this interview and deliberately mug the readers off with a recent front page picture?

[/quote] The misnomer is in the name, "Guitar AND Bass"? If we're lucky, there's one, maybe two bass related features. The current editor is an ex Guitarist / Guitar Techniques writer, and it's seriously gone down hill since he took over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thankfully I subscribe, so it could have been Ronald McDonald on the cover and I'd still have bought it... 😀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
12stringbassist Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 Macca is talking to the world and his dog about Pepper, at the moment, so if he'd had a call he would probably have obliged. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
