NEAL SCHON/JOURNEY – As the mighty Journey get set for their UK arena tour with Whitesnake and Thunder this May, we engage the band’s guitarist in a wide-ranging and far-reaching Q&A session. Schon talks about Journey’s past, present and future, and about his relationship with Steve Perry, his spat with former Bad English bandmate John Waite, his experiences with drugs in the 70s, and the role of the guitar hero in the modern era…
WHITESNAKE – We fearlessly name David Coverdale’s Top 20 Most AOR Moments!

JETTBLACK – We track down the fast-rising British rockers ahead of their hotly anticipated appearance at the HRH AOR festival.
QUIET RIOT – For Los Angeles’ Quiet Riot, success was slow to come and quick to disappear. But if their time at the top was brief, it was also spectacular. For in the early 80s, at the dawn of the golden age of hair metal, this band were major players. We chart QR’s fast rise and equally rapid decline…
PRAYING MANTIS – Although they came to prominence during the NWOBHM in the early 80s, Praying Mantis have always been the most melodic of bands. We take a critical look at their topsy-turvy career to date.

Steve Overland – “I’ve sung on some weird things, like Kit-E-Kat advertisements,” purrs the FM man.

Lost Weekend – It’s a long, twisting tale of record label frustrations, of cutting albums in less-than-ideal situations, of chasing a dream against all odds and with little in the way of tangible reward. But one listen to this band’s finely honed AOR will prove it was all worth it…

Arc Angel – Thirty years on, Arc Angel have risen again. Jeff Cannata talks us through his journey from the proggy majesty of his Cannata project, back to Arc Angel’s effortlessly melodic rock.
