Name[edit]

Looking at this result, it looks as though the magazine is not named "RIP Magazine" or the case alternative "RIP magazine", so I've moved this to RIP (magazine). +mt 03:43, 15 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Update[edit]

The magazine seems to have run through at least January 1997 but no idea if or when it ended. RJFJR (talk) 21:17, 12 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Quote[edit]

this quote seems excessively long to me so I've moved it from article to talk. RJFJR (talk) 21:11, 12 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Quote by Matt Cale about RIP Magazine -

"Hit Parader was for greasy chicks, Circus a glam rag at best, and Kerrang! too damned expensive as an import. As such, I stuck by Rip for several years, one as a subscriber. I looked forward to every issue, largely because they balanced their Skid Row, Guns N’ Roses, and Great White coverage with a little Sanctuary or King Diamond now and then. The mag worshipped Metallica, of course, and was the exclusive source for the lead-up to the breakthrough Black Album. It was all there – hyperbolic, overly positive reviews (to this day, I can’t remember anything they hated), inside scoops of tour information, upcoming albums, industry gossip, and unnaturally lengthy feature articles that described every thrust, every load, and every deservedly objectified groupie on every tour bus you could imagine. As they said, if Jack Russell slammed his meat axe into a stoned slut, Rip was there. And they did it better than anyone before or since." you removed half the article LOL,but either way this one really sucks,RIP deserves better (97.104.196.14 (talk) 04:17, 16 August 2012 (UTC)) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 97.104.196.14 (talk) 04:15, 16 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
