Classic Rock presents ... Prog - Classic Rock magazine's new quarterly magazine dedicated completely to progressive rock - will be releasing its third issue this August 5th and as I'd mentioned yesterday it will be a special edition featuring Rush. We now have some more information along with a cover scan. The issue's feature story is titled Everything's Fun Again Now! Alex Lifeson on RUSH & the story of Prog Metal and it will feature 4 separate Rush covers. From the Classic Rock website:

The latest issue of Classic Rock Presents...Prog is out now and is finally available to US readers!

Issue 3 of the sell-out Classic Rock Presents Prog magazine is on sale from August 5. This month’s cover stars Rush grace the magazine’s lavish wallet and there’s an extra special treat for Rush fans, as the magazine housed within the wallet will this issue feature four separate Rush covers for fans to collect. Each one will feature an iconic image from various stages of the Canadian superstars career – a must have for every Rush fan.

And there’s great news for our US readers too. As of issue 3 you will now be able to order copies of the magazine online at www.myfavouritemagazines.co.uk, as can UK and European readers. Please bear in mind however that they do not have unlimited stock and once their allocation of copies has gone, then they’re gone.

Issue 3 of …Prog looks at the world of prog metal, featuring such genre stars as Dream Theater, Queensryche, Opeth, Porcupine Tree, Voivod and Finnish siren Tarja, and an intriguing interview with the man who launched the legendary Vertigo label.

There are also brand new interviews with ex-Genesis guitarists Steve Hackett and Anthony Phillips, Marillion, The Gathering, War Of The World’s maestro Jeff Wayne, It Bites and even Captain Sensible. Plus there’s the usual round-up on the latest prog news and an even bigger reviews section than ever before.

All this plus a free CD featuring an hour’s worth of the finest new progressive music being made today.

Thanks to rtrushfan for the heads up.
