Page 7 - Classic Rock (January 2020)

WELCOME

nd of the year. End of the second

decade of the latest millennium.
How on earth did that happen?

It seems like only yesterday that
I was writing my editorial for last

year’s End Of The Year issue (and,
if I remember correctly, I was

moaning about the incredible speed

of the passing of time then too). Ah well…
So, as you might have gathered, it’s time for our

annual look at what went down in rock over the past
12 months – the new albums and songs that got us

excited, the reissues that shed new light on old
favourites, and much more besides. We caught up

with some of rock’s movers and shakers – Ronnie
Wood, Jeff Lynne, Joe Elliott, Duff McKagan, Glenn

Hughes, to name but a handful – who have been
pivotal this year, and got them to take a look back

over their past 10 years too.

Please sit back, grab your drink of choice and
join us in remembering the Year In Rock 2019. And

from all of us here at Classic Rock, we hope you have Subscribe!
a brilliant Christmas break and a very happy 2020.

Cheers!
