Swell!

Oh, I completely forgot. You’re 40. THAT’S why you’re so out of touch. I’m sorry about that… me and Maxim are goin’ out, can we borrow the car?

This actually looks like a really interesting issue, I can’t wait to read it.
And to “Duck my Sick”: if you’re dumb enough to read something as misogynistic and exploitative as Maxim, I’m not sure your opinion on anything counts. And before you accuse me of being 40 and out-of-touch, I’m 22.

I can’t wait for this issue to hit stands. I think its great that RS are gonna celebrate probably the best summer ever. Summer of love ‘67

can’t wait to see this issue. it will bring back lots of memories. damn i’m old.

Oh, this is going to be awesome! Thank you.

Oh, this is going to be awesome! Thank you.

Oh, this is going to be awesome! Thank you.

That’s an awesome cover, but I still don’t see the “40″ in the “Ro”

I wonder why people who cut down the mag come to its website. How odd.

…can’t say much about Maxim; I’ve never read it…

Be careful with Maxim, it has the reputation of being a date rapist.

im not cutting down on em. their my favorite mag. I just think its a bad cover

Maxim?
Ha.
Maxim is absoultely NOTHING compared to RS.
The Rolling Stone magazine was founded on culture and music [which is going to be highlighted in this issue; vielen dank!!]
But, then again…
I suppose people who are ‘in touch’ with today’s popular culture aren’t quite so familliar with what the latter actually means.

didn’t they just do a 40th anniversary issue with a hologram cover?

Can’t you fucking read? They said they are making 3 special issues to celebrate the 40th anniversary.

yes!!1

Very excited to read and learn more about the mythical and magical summer of love ‘67. Wish I could have been there myself…alas, youth prevails and the Einstein-Rosen bridge has not been found, so I’m stuck here, 19 in the year 2007.

One last thing…what is up with the “Ro” on the cover…if its supposed to be a 40, its a terrible attempt. If not…would someone care to explain it for me?

Awesome choice Rolling Stone!!! cant wait to read it!!! too bad no other summer will ever equal the peace and love of 1967. Lets just hope that this summer everyone will start taking acid and shrooms and make some more amazing music.Rock n’ roll 1967, rock n’ roll indeed!!!peace

I was born in 1967 so it means a lot to me. It was an incredible year to be sure. Enjoy the music from that year, probably the best year in rock history.

“You know, I went to Haight-Ashbury expecting it to be this brilliant place, and it was just full of horrible, spotty, dropout kids on drugs”
-George Harrison, reflecting upon his trip to San Fransico in the summer of 1967

RS is till my favourite mag, just saying, WTF? There’s so many great bands out there right now. Rally the people instead of trying to make the young folks jealous.

Still Rock and Roll’s best era for sure, thanks Rolling Stone. Once in awhile you put a cover story on that keeps me subscribed, this is one for sure.

Summer of Love’67? Lets just hope The Beach Boys get the recognition they deserve.

RS I am ready for the summer baby!!
There is no comparison between Maxine and Rollingstone. Rollingstone is about integrity and great journalism. Maxim is about using your right or left after a wild night of MILLER HIGH LIFE!!!

For those of you picking on the mag because it’s celebrating the hippies: You didn’t see this one coming?! Clearly you are right in saying it wasn’t the best summer ever. The best summer(s)ever are the ones where everything magically falls into place, and they can happen at anytime.

the who sell out better be on that list of the best 40 albums…

I just hope The Who Sell Out is on the list. I wonder if Velvet Underground and Nico is on there considering how ANTI love crowd it was.

Man this looks like an awesome issue! it’s nice to that RS is doing more classic music stuff. i get so tired of all the modern crap out there now. even though i wasn’t alive then, the music of the 60s has yet to be surpassed…not that i want it to be.

This looks sweeeeet

why the hell do ppl kep compsring RS to maxine? if you want a decent music magazine magazine to use as an alternarive to RS, try spin magazine

Maxim is a pile of adenoidal shit, and their music rag Blender isn’t much better. And Spin? Maybe 15 years ago.

Rolling Stone is the only consistently good national music magazine put out in the US. I’ve got to import (Mojo, Uncut) the only other ones I regularly read.

Looking very forward to the 40 essential albums of 1967 list. I guarantee I’ll disagree with some, which is pat of the fun. I only hope the revisionist attitude people have toward Sgt. Pepper doesn’t stop it from being #1.

#2 definitely ought to be the Velvet Underground & Nico.

Guess we’ll see…

This might be as cool as the Justin Timberlake cover.

Maxim is garbage that is written up for people who refuse to actually read insightful pieces of writting and be inspired through their own creativity. Look through it, I guarantee you won’t see one article more then two pages long.

THANK YOU FOR THIS ISSUE!!

yis all thinksink

yis all thinksink

definatley getting this issue!

Maxim invited me to a party and its frat once, I watched it get paddled.

thank you.

thank you.

thank you.

Although 1967 was one of the most creative and interesting musical years in rock music history; no doubt helped along by mind-altering drugs, it was also one of the most violent and destructive years in American history as well. 1967 Riots in both Newark and Detroit tore apart both cities to the point where 40 years later they still haven’t recovered. The Vietnam war was going full bore at this time with up to 20,000 Americans dead by the end of the year. Toward the end of the Summer of Love in San Francisco methamphetamine, around since at least the 1950’s took over the Haight-Asbury, pretty much destroying the hippie vibe with paranoia and murder. Meth essentially started its now 40-year American tour from the open air drug lab called the Haight. The music was much better than todays overproduced, robotic, corporate spoon-fed pablum, but for most kids 12-21 that is irrelevant because they are living in the moment and artists still around from that era that they can identify are associated with dad’s or grandpa’s music. To borrow a line from a Stone’s song. What a drag it is getting old.

AAAHHH thats gonna be the coolest edition ever! im totally obsessed with the summer of love!! this is gonna be awsome man! the cover is really cool
