The Lost Articles

Ah, I see we already have Blast! April 1989 (it's the one that has only pictures), so I edited the post above.

Where did you find these? Are they on eBay? I looked but couldn't find all of them (and some of those I found were too expensive to buy).

I will be going to San Francisco later this month. I will see if I can find a store that sells old magazines. Maybe I can find some treasures.

I found most on ebay, except Alternative Press that I found on abebooks. But, like you said, they're mostly expensive or the shipping is too much.

Blast! August 1989 I just found the image of the cover; I haven't seen it sold anywhere.

I have received/bought a few different magazines, listing them here so you don't buy them too:

Concert Shots, January 1988
Blast, July 1989
Kerrang, September 14, 1996
Guitar Player, October 2014
Guitar World, May 2010
Guitar Player, June 2004
Hit Parader, April 1994
Rhythm, November 2007

Some of these are newer and might be in our database already. I found them cheap in a store in San Francisco so I just picked them up regardless.

In this online chat from December 1996 (https://www.a-4-d.com/t627-1996-12-17-online-chat-with-duff-mostly-about-the-neurotic-outsiders) Duff mentions being pissed off by something written in Rolling Stone that would imply he had to follow Axl's order. That sounds intriguing. It doesn't seem like we have this article, which likely was published in late 1996.

In this article: https://www.a-4-d.com/t2934-1998-09-dd-guitar-paradise-city it is mentioned that Izzy did two interview in connection with the release of 117 degrees. We need them. The article does contain quotes from Izzy that I suppose were taken from these two interviews.

I'm going to add some Izzy interviews from 1998. Possibly the quotes are from them.

Super.

Rage, May 1990:

I found this from another source and bought it. As far as I can tell, the interview with Axl is a compilation of quotes from older interviews by Beth Nussbaum in other magazines (Rock Scene, mainly), which we already have.
There is also an interview with Robert Williams talking about the cover art of Appetite For Destruction.

This blog entry sheds some light on interviews the band did while in Tokyo in December 1988. Gives us an idea of some missing interviews.
