TO ANDY CAIRN'S PLECTRUM

How on earth did you come to the conclusion that Metallica are overrated? They're so big because they worked over 12 years to get to where they're at - without conforming to anybody AND accommodating their fans.

As for the top 5 underrated bands, they will all be dead and buried before Metallica.

One more thing - Therapy? are overrated!

EP REVIEW: HATS OFF TO THE INSANE by THERAPY?

Plus points for the excellently drawn cover but printing the lyrics? No way! I'm sure I'm not alone in getting off on working out what the devil Andy's singing, am I?

The brilliant Screamager begins this EP and the utterly abysmal Opal Mantra ends it, with three typical songs in between.

Not a bad 15 minutes but Nurse is better.

Mrs Begum Hossain - how about it Momty?

Watch it, Missus - it's a family 'Zine!

 

DEAR MEGA-ZINE

I am sick to death of newspapers and so-called sports personalities slagging off Paul Gascoigne.

This year I was on holiday in Austria with my parents and I was lucky enough to meet Gazza and the rest of the Lazio team. Paul talked to the fans and didn't mind signing autographs.

I'd like to set the record straight - HE IS NOT FAT, ALL RIGHT?!?!

DELUSIONS! He IS fat! LARDY LAZIO LAD!

YO MEGA-ZINE!

I'm totally supportive towards the No.1 New Kids Fan from West Norwood and the NKOTB Nutter Jennie from Scotland who wrote recently.

NKOTB are true, sincere and genuine. Take That, E17, Worlds Apart and Bad Boys Inc are fake posers whose endless showing off of torsos in posters and videos makes me hurl!

YO! So, NKOTB aren't fake posers?

 

ODE TO THE FUTURE MRS PROPHET

Shall I compare thee to Caitlin Moran?
Thou art more darker and more infinite.
Mainstream doth rock her musical tree,
Whilst thou'rt so close to the black as me.
Forgive me for the deception of mine eyes
Now thou hast writ, do I realise
Thou art my one true and only hope -
In thine dark room no longer mope;
Thine Gothis Prophet hath returnd'd all right
We'll scorn the day and kiss the night

The Gothic Prophet of Metal, Yggdrasil

WOW. What do you say, Future Mrs?
