ROCK HARD, MAN!

To some, age may be catching up, and you might no longer be a teenager or even in your 20s or 30s. But fear not. Rock and Roll runs deep in your veins, and it will always be a part of you. Just take a moment to admire the enduring rockers like Mick Jagger and the Rolling Stones who continue to rock on and fill stadiums. At UnRated Magazine – Your Music Entertainment – Veteran Run, we celebrate the timeless power of Rock and Roll.

Music is so magical. There is always someone new that has something to say with words, a guitar, or drums. A new breed of artists are born each they and pave a road for new fans through their art in music.

Through 2021 UnRated Magazine has published to over 10,000 readers each month. We provide in depth concert reviews, interviews and some of the best concert photos around the web. UnRated Magazine consists of a dedicated staff of contributing journalists who do it because it’s in their blood. Join us @UnRatedMagazine, mention us #UnRatedMagazine or join our newsletter.

The Who once stated, “I hope I die before I grow old.” Well, the rockers are still going strong and each day new audiences are taking in the past of the likes of The Who, Jimi Hendrix, Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, Ted Nugent, and the Kings “Led Zeppelin.” As long as all of us crave this magical medium of art and expression it will never die and will live within us. We all may not be 16 years old, but we take it with us and feel it from day to day.

This site is dedicated to the love of music and expression. Put the fuel in hot, pumping, mayhem music and you have a pure energetic rock. Call it hard, metal, thrash, punk, grunge, hip-hop, R&B, or alternative. We freakin’ love it and will love it for all time. The music makes us dream, love, and feel alive. The music is a means of many things, bringing in musicians, the fans, the sex, superstars, celebrities and the hardworking men, women, and children. Some of the music might be explicit and not for all ages, but as long as the blood flows and one know the chemistry that puts it all together we will always dream and aspire to be part of it or stand behind it.

UnRated Magazine will be bringing it all to you — the bands, the art the music, and the fans. We will give it our most damn effort to open up barriers and expose the loves that go with the making of the music. We will bring the galleries of musicians, artists and bands, the sexiest rockers, the models, stars and all that appreciate and love the music we all cherish and defend so much each day. Each of us has our own addiction to music, but we all have one thing in common, we love it and will die to defend it. Strong as the American Flag, flying high and proving that we are strong and able to defend all, so is the belief in the creativity, in our expression, in song, and music will live and be available to all. Some artists and bands may not be superstars to the world, but they are superstars to each other and to their fans, and we will share all that we can find.

In the words of Ronnie James Dio and Rainbow, “Long Live Rock and Roll.”
