ISSUE FIVE
Where do I start when there's so many cool things to write about and so little space! Another overdose of glitter, Issue 5 has 92 sexy pages packed to bursting with some of the best bands making up the glam, goth, punk and rock scenes - both past and present. This edition is one which also sees me indulging myself when we find a hefty wad of my own personal favourite band members dropping by to have a word ...
INTERVIEWS
Michael Monroe - The
ex-Hanoi Rocks frontman took the UK by storm with his first tour on these shores for
nearly a decade. During his visit, the man who influenced a thousand bands and one
of the nicest peeps to walk the planet bared his soul to Vagabond Hearts. This
personal, often funny and sometimes moving interview is a must for any fan!
Taime Downe - Pppppussycaaaatttt!!! The
King Of Sleaze who shrieked that word in his Faster Pussycat days is back!
Reincarnated with the goth/industrial Newlydeads, Taime is the coolest corpse on the block
- and yes girls, he's still as slinky as ever!
LA Guns - When infamous Hollywood sleazeters LA Guns returned to the UK for their first tour in over ten years, drummer Steve Riley was only too happy to have a bit of a natter with Vagabond Hearts...
Diamond Dogs - Just what are they putting in the water over there in Scandanavia?!! Sweden has produced yet another fantastic rock n' roll band who couldn't wait to grace the pages of Vagabond Hearts. Guitarist Stevie Klasson (ex-Johnny Thunders band) steps into the spotlight ...
Bubble - This charismatic LA
based band features Bam (ex-Dogs D'Amour/Wildhearts), his luvverly wife Share (ex-Vixen)
plus cool (ex-Pussy)cat Brent Muscat and Street Walkin' Cheetah Dino Everett. One bubble that ain't
about to burst!
Tyla - The best balladmonger of 'em all drops by
for a chat!
The Quireboys - The reunion tours keep coming! This time is the turn of homegrown rock n' rollers The Quireboys. You didn't honestly think that Spike and the boys could get away without stopping by did ya? This time it's bassist Nigel Mogg who tells all ....
Clam Abuse - It definitely ain't the Wildhearts but it's great to see
Ginger back with his new partner in crime, Alex. Reality? What's
that? As their album says, "Stop Thinking" - leave every ounce of
commonsense behind 'cos this interview will make you doubt everything you know!!
Rachel Stamp - One of the UK's hardest working
unsigned bands leave a massive glittery lipstick mark in this issue of Vagabond
Hearts! If you're after a bit of glamour - this lot ooze it from every pore!

back with his new band! Read all about 'em as he shares the latest over a few
pints!
Squid - UK goth/industrialists who are going
places - and want to take you with 'em!
The Yo-Yos - One time project of Danny 'Wildhearts' McCormack, these boys were the most exciting prospect on the UK scene for years before sadly crashing to a premature halt in truest rock n'roll superstar fashion. Coming straight outta the Vagabond vaults, this hefty interview charts the rise and fall of the beautiful disaster that was the Yo-Yo's. Read all about Danny's most embarrassing on stage moment and Neil's AC/DC fixation ... if ya dare!
