Have you ever noticed how many great albums came out in 1984? We have! In this issue, we examine 1984’s releases — month by month, classic by classic — and check out the making of Van Halen’s 1984, Metallica’s Ride the Lightning and Stevie Ray Vaughan’s Couldn’t Stand the Weather — and that’s just the tip o' the iceberg. Featuring new interviews with Alex Lifeson, Adrian Smith, Yngwie Malmsteen, Steve Vai, Adrian Belew, Vicki Peterson, Vivian Campbell and more.
