RIP Tom. GP has never been the same since he left. Also, he hired Jim Roberts to start BP, which has never been the same since Jim left.

Yeah, I ended my subscription probably around 15 years ago. I got tired of the same old ads and inconclusive product reviews.

Believe it or not, back in the days of Tom Wheeler and Jim Roberts, GP and BP occasionally gave a negative review to a product.

I also remember they'd review an album with some rating of the bass too.  If I recall, Rick Savage got a C- for Hysteria :P
