PWM35: Walkin’ Cheese- Kerrang 62, Feb/March 1984 (part 1)

2024-06-11

What’s Phil Collins’ favourite chocolate? It’s not a gag, we actually want to know. Regardless of the famous tub thumper’s preferred sweet treat, he’s the star of Kerrang’s most bonkers cover ever. We’re looking at a really really OLD magazine this week, so there’s news on Status Quo splitting up shocker - especially shocking since they carried on for about 40 years after this. Also in this ish: Spider with their particular peculiar brand of rock and roll and Rock Goddess, on tour of various shitty hotels around the country.

Kommunication features a mysterious Whitesnake anecdote, and a letter from someone who thinks Kerrang should only cover Pink Floyd and The Doors.

There’s a lovely story about Ozzy Osbourne and Motley Crue which doesn’t involve ants, and we discuss the lasting legacy of Risky Business. Also what’s a Wurlitzer (again)?
