FEATURE ON THE COVER: In case you hadn’t already guessed, the mighty Marilyn Manson heads up our Christmas
extravaganza. The God of Fuck invites us into bed (literally) to chat about everything from latest album Heaven Upside Down to spending Noël alone (p22). Elsewhere in the mag, we find out how your favourite rockstars’ years have been, as Patrick Stump, Simon Neil, Winston McCall, Alex Gaskarth, Reba Meyers and more look back on a
whirlwind 2017 (p30). If that’s not enough for your greedy eyes, we sit down with the best bands in British music for our annual Kerrang! Christmas Dinner. Get ready for all hell to break loose (p52)… And, finally, there’s a Bloody Massive 2017 Quiz to keep you busy over the holidays. We bet you can’t get full marks (p60).
