Rolling Stone September 2025: Comics, Crises & Classics Like 'Nebraska'

“All good things come in threes” was probably what the makers of the September issue of Rolling Stone ! The latest issue comes with three different covers, meaning the avid collector will have to dig three times deeper into their pockets this month. Readers who simply want to be informed, on the other hand, can pick their favorite motif ( Black Panther , Black Widow , Spider-Man , ovl), because the content of all editions is completely identical!

Why comic book characters in and on a music magazine? The answer is clear: In times of crisis like these (pandemic, climate, war, energy), and in times of leadership that simultaneously seems helpless, powerless, and lacking in ideas, the desire for salvation through the one superhero awakens in all of us! DC and Marvel cartoon characters are experiencing an unprecedented boom, and TV and cinema are also indispensable in featuring these 'beings' from other planets—all endowed with supernatural abilities. Reason enough for Rolling Stone to present us with the 50 best films of this genre in its cover story, "Black / Female / Nerd Power." to introduce.

Politically, the RS Essay The music magazine (it must be emphasized again!) takes a very critical look at the current situation we all find ourselves in. If there was any need for further proof that a If a music magazine cannot and should not also be political, then here is the proof!

But no Rolling Stone issue is complete without a core competency: music! This time's cover story features 20 major and important home recording albums, recordings created in the intimacy of one's own home, free from commercial pressure and tight time management. While cassette recorders and tape machines were once used for recording and established the lo-fi genre as an alternative to hi-fi, any computer-savvy musician can now produce an album at home that is in no way inferior in quality to an oeuvre created with professional studio equipment.

Milestone and entry into the overview of these 'diamonds' is the album «Nebraska» by the super boss Bruce Springsteen , which was born exactly 40 years ago and to which Rolling Stone dedicated a four-page article. Following this, precious items are listed, among others, by McCartney , the Stones , Collins , the Red Hot Chili Peppers and the White Stripes . Nicely arranged chronologically from 1968 to 2019. There's something for everyone!

It has been 45 years since the one and only King closed his eyes forever. And of course, Rolling Stone Elvis Presley never forget and remembers him in his column History .

With its evergreen standard sections, such as recording, book, and concert reviews, as well as—as always—very well-researched stories about the familiar, the unknown, and the new, Rolling Stone has once again succeeded in producing a thoroughly readable and purchaseable issue, with its current issue number 335, on around 100 pages!
