I looked at two articles in my chosen genre.
The first was an article on Slipknot live by 'Kerrang! Magazine'. Because of the heavy rock genre of this band, the review was quite serious. The effect of this was it really dramatised the readers imagination when the writer was talking about the violent mosh-pits and the general toughness of the crowd. The text itself was quite copy-light even for a big band. This is because the people reading the magazine are implied to be dumb or just not big readers.
The second magazine article I looked at was an interview with the Foo Fighters by NME. The tone of it was quite relaxed and jokey; but I believe this was down to the genre of the band, but mostly the topic on what they were talking about. I feel reviews are a good way for fans to discover the truth of a band, and to make the reader feel closer to the band aswell.
I decied to go for an interview in my double page spread because I wanted to get an insight to Rise Against, and for people to discover what they are really about. I liked it because it's very personal and I believe many readers will find it enjoyable to read.
