What killed Alternative Press (Alt Press magazine)? Some of what I talk about:
* The early history of Alt Press and their stories on Nirvana, Nine Inch Nails, and Foo Fighters
* When Alt Press started covering emo bands like Paramore, Fall Out Boy, and My Chemical Romance
* Their prime years covering scene bands like Of Mice & Men, Bring Me The Horizon, All Time Low and Black Veil Brides
* Why the APMAs (Alternative Press Music Awards) and the AP Tour were so important
* Why they can no longer rely on putting Awsten Knight of Waterparks, Brendon Urie of Panic At The Disco and Andy Biersack of Black Veil Brides on the cover
