Classic Rock - January 2012/Issue 179
An interview featured in this magazine is 'Led Zeppelin - Celebrate the Good Times' in which some of the band members look back on their time performing.
The lay out of the article is simple. It starts with the subtle promotion of the bands DVD 'Celebration Day' of their 2007 comeback show. Not only does it promote the DVD but it also informs the readers of the recent news about the band. Following the DVD release information there is a slight introduction to the interview, speaking about who was there and the atmosphere of the press room.
The next two pages consist of Q&A. The questions are all quite formal and genuinely inquisitive, which reflects the identity of the band, as they are so iconic and to be taken seriously. The order of the questions follow on from the introduction paragraph as they start by speaking about the DVD and how it felt to watch and so on. Following that it gets more personal by speaking about the idea of Zeppelin getting back together or forming a new band.
On the third page of the Zeppelin article we see a full discography of the band, therefore promoting all of their albums and describing them in ways that are fairly analytical, allowing the reader to decide if they want to by the album.
Following the discography is another page of interviewer questions. These questions are all quite personal due to the fact they are aimed at specific people and also mention their late manager, Peter Grant. It also mentions a few products by people in the band and also the potential second album of 'Them Crooked Vultures'.
The content of this interview appeals to the reader as we get to hear the personal oppinions of the band that we dont get to hear elsewhere. We also gain knowledge of CD's, the new DVD and also the type of things the band members are doing now.
