#161 – March 2010
ROB ZOMBIE
Rock’s biggest workaholic hasn’t got the time for self-righteous rock bands, paranoid movie studios or celebrity confessionals. Greg Heller turns up to get his spook-rock on with America’s most twisted mister.
NEW ORDER
After seven years, the archetypal British electro-rockers-or, the guys who wrote Orgy’s biggest hit-have stepped out of the ether and back into the world’s consciousness. Hobey Echlin goes up, down and turns around at their mystique.
DISCLOTHESURE
We approach Incubus with a clothed mind. In turn, they leave A.P.’s Phil Freeman in stitches.

SPECIAL! DOES THIS KIND OF LIFE LOOK INTERESTING TO YOU?
Who makes the Deftones sound good? What the hell is a product manager anyway? Who keeps Blink-182 away from boogeymen? A.P. secures testimonials from the people behind the scenes who make sure the rock keeps rolling.
