Kim Neeely wrote for about a decade for Rolling Stone -- all through the 90s.
There was a really great Axl Rose interview (from 1992 I beleive) if I remember right.
She wrote a Pearl Jam biogrpahy than seemed to disappear from the world of rock journalism all together.
Anybody know if she is still around?

...And how they got into my pajamas, I'll never know.

Judging from the gloom that pervades their platinum debut album, "Core," it would be tempting to peg the Stone Temple Pilots - vocalist Weiland, drummer Eric Kretz, guitarist Dean DeLeo and his younger brother Robert, the band's bassist - as world-class cynics, the kind of guys who wouldn't be caught dead yukking it up.
But the more time you spend with them, the more appropriate it seems: They are a mass of contradictions. They're properly dour and politically correct when the mood strikes them - they'll talk your ear off about homelessness, sexism or racism - but like overgrown class clowns, they devote equal time and sincerity to dissecting some of the hokiest topics imaginable."

Robert Plant finds a core of peace and fills it with castles, lions and howling winds "You know, there are certain smells that bring time whirling back," Robert Plant says as he piles jam onto a slice of whole-wheat toast in a New York City coffee shop. "When I arrived here on Tuesday, I could smell Spokane in 1969! It was amazing -- this flashback of driving around America in a station wagon, with Bonzo (drummer John Bonham) and I talking about home and (Jimmy) Page saying, 'Shut the window; it's messing my hair up.' I saw it all -- it was fantastic!"
From Rollingstone 9/1/91
As usual, Guns n' Roses are screwing everything up.
They're out on the road with devil- may-care attitudes and no set list, serving up a bunch of unfamiliar songs and saying their new records will be done when they're done.
To make things worse, Axl Rose is carrying on. He stormed into his home state for a concert and compared the fans there to prisoners at Auschwitz.

"Done when they're done" . . . heh, she saw the future.
