Re: Will DMB get the Rolling Stone cover for the album?
If its gonna happen, its gonna happen in the upcoming issue. They're not going to write an August cover story about a band whose newest CD came out two months ago.
The timeline looks good for a DMB cover of RS. There wont be a bigger musical story that could possibly bump it. The only thing I could see holding it up is if the editors have a different celebrity/political cover package lined up already, or the story couldnt be completed by deadline and it had to be postponed. The second is really unlikely, although the first is a possibility.
From a magazine/editorial standpoint, its a compelling story--band with enormous following loses founding member to accident and releases first album in four years. That story writes itself. And given that there have been interviews with Matthews in RS (an short album preview and a sligtly longer one in the last month) chances are those quotes came from a larger interview done with the singer for the article.
