Gearhead #15
Some magazines seem to be put out to please the advertisers and to make money. Gearhead is not one of those magazines. Having been around for thirteen years, Gearhead has carved out its own unique niche in the hot rod magazine genre.
Issue #15's main feature is coverage of the Choppers Burbank car club’s trip to Japan. How cool is it to get your cars shipped to Japan for a car show? And to top it off you get to go with the king of cool himself Billy F. Gibbons! Verne Hammond tells the tales of being able to cruise through the city streets of Yokohama and the kick ass car show that followed. I am envious.
There is a very cool story on pinstriping legend Mr. J. Man has he done some cool cars in his lifetime. An interview with Pero Deluca of Mad Fabricators Society, the Soichiro Honda story(where did they find the photos of the Jackson Five on mini-bikes?) and to top it off, a way too small story on Sylvain Sylvain of the greatest band ever, the New York Dolls.
Gearhead just keeps getting better. The cd reviews are top notch, the articles are always good and the layout is easy on the eyes. Yes Mike, I GET IT.
