Since ya asked, I do wanna see more reviews. You can fill that empty space on page 8 with one or two more.

I like that you're commenting more about the news - if you insist on printing that stuff, it's nice to get some smart ass commentary about it.

I can't think of anything controversial to say though... hmmmm... perhaps this will do: you proofread like a gay poser!

The one at the very end where ya broke up the word "don't" with the parentheses was a classic. ;)

The guy from Rakoth is a twit. Nothing worse than someone who gives trite responses complaining about boring questions. And I'm so very tired of the whole "I do this only for me" bullshit - if it's just for you, quit releasing CDs, quit contacting labels, quit recording altogether for fuck's sake. Sheer posturing wankery. I shan't be buying his CD, despite your damning praise. I'll take Firewind's guitar wankery over pretentious wankery, thankyouverymuch.

re: the Abolisher review, one point got me thinking, the bit about the acoustic lines becoming the main electric riff - this is nothing new, I know Rhoads did it back on "Diary of a Madman" and I reckon someone else prolly did it long before him (Zeppelin or Sabbath perhaps - possibly even Priest - Hell mebbe Hendrix did it somewhere - damn my shitty memory) - so my trivia question is, who did it first?

Winner receives airfare, hotel accomodations and escort service to Progpower 3, providing they pay for it themselves.

I may order that NWoBHM book - gonna check the price now. I definitely won't be reading all 800 pages though. Holy shit.

If I knew how to type a lisp, there'd be a hilarious response here.

... you'd think THAT would get the big red underline from MS Word's spellcheck.

What's really bad is I ask the boring questions in order to figure out what to ask next... especially with these 'who are these people?' bands. "Describe yourself. "Oh I can't" ARGH!!!!!!!!!!!!

I like the pretentious bastards who talk lots more.

Although the Rakoth wasn't the worst interview I'd ever done by ANY means, not even close.

Hell, I came in late in the game for VOCALISTS following the guitar melodies. heh

Winner also receives the ticket without paying for it. ;) You're going to see tickets going for TONS more than the $80 face value before November comes around.

You're not kidding. Quite the 'holy shit' and a half book.

And actually, the Rakoth CD deserves to be bought, darnit. No, not the BEST EVER WOOHOO, but very creative and well done. It needs no excuses.
