3. Analysis of the copy
The article begins with a title that makes the reader want to read on as it is a bit of a cliff-hanger
“WHAT ROCK ‘N’ ROLL HAS TAUGHT US”. This title also stands out as it is bald and in block capitals.
The way that the article is set out is in different sections. Each different section starts with a
question and then the two Kasabian band members answer them. The whole style of the interview is
very informal and casual because of their spontaneous speech. This makes it appeal more to the
reader as they are being honest and want to find out how rock n roll changed them.
