Rip
USA
Published between 1986 and 1996, Rip magazine was heralded
as the finest hard rock/heavy metal publication of its day.
Rip debuted in December 1986. It was a music magazine
commonly seen in newsstands and purchased by mostly teenage
readers. It was created by Larry Flynt Publications, effectively
making it a sister publication of
Hustler magazine, among others. Lonn M. Friend was
editor in chief. Rip was a typical Music fan magazine
in the vein of Metal Edge,
Circus and
Hit Parader, although
Rip had a wider focus, featuring Thrash, Punk, Speed-Metal
and Death Metal bands along with the typical Pop-Rock and Glam
bands of the day. (wikipedia)

He has taken the podium and is again attempting to change the world or, in this matter, keep it as it is. (read more)
