METAL DETECTIVE

Just when I thought things could not get worse! A few reminders: 1) That picture in November’s issue was of Man 0 War, not Mr Bungle. [Sub Editor Replies: Here’s hoping the irony of this particular reader missing our little joke doesn't escape the rest of our readers.] 2) Vince Neil is a pussy with no talent and is certainly far less interesting than Anthrax, though Kevin List seems to be one of the four remaining fans and proclaim the opposite. 3) If Mr List thinks Anthrax sound like the soundtrack to a sports programme, maybe he should realise that to many peo-

pie he sounds like a tosser. 4) In November’s issue, the Morbid Angel album Domination was listed as a future recording. I had bought it a week previous to this. I must be a time traveller. 5) Iron Maiden released a really great album the other day, but your magazine has pretty much ignored it. This is probably because Mr List would have to admit that reviewing an album by a loser like Vince Neil, and not one of the 10 greatest bands of all time, is a really stupid thing to do. I think he is hoping no one will notice. Hands up who gives a shit about the Vince Neil album! I rest my case. Josh Russell, Franklin.
