DEAR MEGA-ZINE

We've discussed the talent (?!) of TT for far too long. How about a change of argument, for instance U2's Zooropa - this isn't music, it's commercial hypocrisy.

How does everyone feel about Bono flaunting swastikas and Nazi propaganda? Is exploitation of Bosnians acceptable for entertainment's sake?

Don't try to shame us into thinking you care. We can see right through you.

The Archfiends From Hell

Scathing criticism - like it, Fiends!!!

ALBUM REVIEW: BIGGER, BETTER, FASTER, MORE! by 4 NON BLONDES

This debut album is a thumping collection of rock tracks from the frantic opening Train to the mind-numbing finale No Place Like Home.

Only Superfly and Calling All The People are boring and formulaic but the best tracks are Drifting, Pleasantly Blue and What's Up?

It's strangely old-fashioned and worthy.

Democritus III, Southampton

Nothing formulaic about you, Demo!

WE'RE WORTHY! WE'RE WORTHY!

THE Albert "Trix" Thompson Hate Club

Hate? HATE?! On the 'zine? It won't do!

 

ALBUM REVIEW: FREAK OF NATURE by FREAK OF NATURE

Forget In Utero, forget Get A grip, this is THE rock album of the year.

It opens with the two-gear Turn The Other Way. The songs which follow highlight Tramp's songwriting abilities and the best, Rescue Me, is a powerful song with a brilliant beat.

Where Can I Go and acoustic Love Was Here provide the necessary sentiment to make the complete hard rock album.

Izzy Stradlin's Hat, Musicland

This is THE best magazine of the year!

 

AN OPINION

Well, well - things certainly have changed at the 'Zine lately. One is that cretins without musical taste are now given the best coverage. Read on!

Guns n' Roses suck. Dance music sucks, Metal rules. No contest. U2 will be bringing out Bono action dolls next. Bono? Bozo more like - or Bore-o.

E17 suck as well. So do all Teenybopper cheat kids, count the cash, look mum no talent bands and they know who they are.

Opine on what you will, readers...
