Issue #344 (Walter Trout): Magazine + Guitarwrist Chord Wristband

This Walter Trout x Classic Rock bundle comes with an exclusive, limited-edition Guitarwrist bracelet, made from guitar strings played by Walter Trout himself.

Walter Trout returns with Sign Of The Times, a brand new album looking at a world gone wrong…

Now 74, the bluesman is certainly not coasting on past glories. If anything, he’s more driven than ever – fuelled by a sense that time is both precious and urgent. “I never expected to make it this far,” he tells Classic Rock, recalling the addictions that nearly killed him in his twenties, and the liver failure that nearly took him a decade ago. “I’m like a cat. I’m on my third or fourth or fifth chance here. And with each one I get more involved in wanting to be an artist, wanting to say something that means something to somebody.”

Also in the magazine....

• We bid farewell to the one and only Ozzy Osbourne. We look back and celebrate the life and times of the Godfather Of Heavy Metal, including specific events through the eyes of those who knew him well. Hilarity, outrage, disbelief, madness, sadness… Plus, stars bid him farewell.
• Other features include…
• Bassist/vocalist Glenn Hughes has spent more than 50 years in rock. Addiction nearly derailed his career, but he pulled himself back from the brink and is still going strong. Read all about it in the Classic Rock Interview.
• Harem Scarem never achieved the degree of success their music should have brought them, but they’re still knocking on the door.
• Mick Ralphs - we also bid farewell to the guitarist and songwriter with Mott The Hoople and Bad Company. In the words of Ian Hunter and Paul Rodgers.
• Regular features include Warren Haynes, Beaux Gris Gris & The Apocalypse and more.

Plus the biggest and loudest rock reviews section on the planet. Like classic rock? Then you need Classic Rock.
