Feedback gained From Target Audience

I asked a group of friends, who fall under the target audience category for most Rock music magazines, what they would like/expect to find in a music magazine. As a result of this, I gained the following feedback;
  • Gigs & upcoming events
  • Posters
  • Factual Information
  • Pictures
  • Humour
  • Competitions
  • Freebies
  • Album Reviews
  • Interviews
  • Latest Fashion
  • Popular bands
  • New bands which they should listen to...
  • Unsigned bands (similar idea to the above point)
  • Magazines within magazines:

(I was shown a demostration of this in the form of heat magazine which had a booklet/magazine inside (and attached to it) which was completely dedicated to all things 'The Twilight Saga: New Moon'). However, I have decided to rule the possibility of thiss out, as I have never seen it used before in music magazines; and believe I am not in a position to re-write conventions.

[Based on a questionnaire given to 20 people at random, but in the audience criteria of most music magazines].
