RAW : UK MUSIC MAGAZINE
Raw Magazine was a British music magazine, which was published from 1988 until 1996. Established to rival Kerrang, Raw focused on rock music for most of its history.
Raw was founded in the summer of 1988[1] by Dante Bonutto, Malcolm Dome, Mark Putterford and Steve McTaggart and photographer Tony Mottram drafted in from Metal Hammer. They had come together on Metal Hammer magazine having split from Kerrang!, where Bonutto had been deputy-editor. The collective feeling there had been that Kerrang! was becoming too narrowly focused on heavy metal and that Metal Hammer would allow them more scope to explore other areas of rock music. This quickly proved not to be the case and the idea for a new magazine was born, a title that would be a true rock magazine, featuring heavy metal acts but not dominated by them.
To that end they teamed up with marketing man Pete Winkleman and created Raw alongside Phil Alexander, Kirk Blows, Dave Dickson, Dave Ling, Sylvie Simmons, Maura Sutton and Paul Suter, most of whom had also worked on Kerrang! under the byline of `RAW` Rock Alive Worldwide.
The first issue went on sale on August 31 of that year as a fortnightly publication featuring Ozzy Osbourne on the cover tattooing the RAW logo on himself,[1] photographed by Tony Mottram. RAW was based in London[1] and steadily grew to become a serious rival to the more established Kerrang!
