AC/DC
The death of their frontman Bon Scott in February 1980 looked like it might have dealt a fatal blow to the band as well. But they got a new singer, and made a career-rejuvenating record that became the biggest-selling rock album of all time: Back In Black.

Phil Carson
When he signed AC/DC to Atlantic Records for 25,000 dollars for the rights to 15 albums, he might well have made the deal of the century.

Joni Mitchell
Released 50 years ago, Ladies Of The Canyon marked the moment when she went from folk princess to pop star, while setting the pace for the entire singer-songwriter movement.

Steve Howe
He could have been known only as the guitarist with protopsychedelic Brit-rockers Tomorrow. Instead he joined Yes, and began a long career as a member of prog royalty. All this and more in the Classic Rock Interview.

Kiss
They broke out of the New York City clubs in 1974, determined to become huge. But it would be a long, hard slog before the rest of America paid attention.

Big Boy Bloater
R&B journeyman Big Boy Bloater reflects on the merits of dangerous music, breaking the speed limit in a hearse, and why having to deal with angry drunks can be a good thing.

When Goth Went Metal
In the second part of Classic Rock’s epic oral history of goth, we look at the rise of goth metal, which saw some early goths elbowed into the margins or disappearing completely, their thunder stolen by goth-leaning arrivals from the metal world.

Krokus
Heading for glory in the 80s, they skidded out of the fast lane due to inflated ego, divisive management and white-line fever. Now, after 45 years, they’re parking the tour bus for good.
