Spin doesn't spin

Spin magazine has gotten a lot less cutting edge. It's all MTV-related jokes and burbly articles. At times they have a good article or picture orr whatever, but most of the time they rely on trends and flavors of the month,

If you want good music magazines, try looking at Q or Mojo. Or if you want to stick with American music mags, check out the new Filter which is almost as good. They have everything Spin doesn't.

Best damn magazine ever!

SPIN covers pretty much every type of rock music out there...like electronic, altevernative, metal, EVERYTHING. They don't sugarcoat anything, and it's really funny at times. Definetly 5 stars.

A must have for Cobain fans.

This is a very interesting issue of Spin to bring the ten anniversary of Kurt Cobains death. The thing that made this issue interesting was that editor Chuck Kiosterman made a prediction of what if Kurt Cobain didn't die? What if he lived? My question is, "Why didn't they get another person to write this? Chuck's predictions are very stupid. Ok, he has the part of divorcing Courtney Love right, but he said that on April 11 1998 Kurt was spotted holding hands with Courtney, and on November 16, 2003 they re-marry, those are false details that wouldn't happen. He just makes ridiculous predictions I can't write them all. He says that on June 5 2002 Cobain retires from music and becomes a painter. You be the judge there.

Forgetting that page, there is a picture of the shirt Kurt wore on the "Smells like teen spirit" video, they took the picture and Kurt's mom's house. They also put in a very rare picture of Kurt Cobain in the set of Smells like teen spirit with a shirt of Jesus on his head giving the camera the finger. Then there is a passage named "The ghost of Saint Kurt". It is really the story of how Kurt Cobain became Kurt Cobain. It is a very long passage, so if your too lazy to read just look at the pictures.

Then there is a timeline of events that happened in the Nirvana story. It goes from the late 18th century (it really just says how flannel shirts came about so you might want to say 1965) to 2003. It's a pretty cool timeline with no miss prints. There are also quotes from people from bands like Deryck from sum 41 and Donna A from the Donna's, and other people. That's about it, the rest of the stuff in the magazine is udder rubbish. This is a must get magazine, but you probably can't get it now. If you can, do.
