Flashback Friday...

Here it is Dear Reader, your Flashback Friday, brought to you by...Hot Metal magazine, issue number three! See, nothing to do with "Cold Wood", get it!? Oh, my sides. This mag is, believe it or not, some 20 years old. Wow, way to make a gal feel ancient. Being an efficient hoarder, I found a bunch of these old music mags in my old wardrobe at my parents. There were once many many more, but where they went is any ones guess...hopefully to where ever good magazines go. I must have rabidly covered many of my school books with pics from this issue, as there are more pages with large parts missing than those without. Without further ado, from "Australia's Hard Rock, Thrash and Heavy Metal Monthly":

Even the skull that separated the "Hot" from the "Metal" is missing. It is a cute skull though. You will see it in further Flashback Friday editions. Is it just me, or did Kiss suck after they took off their makeup? If you ask my brother, they always sucked...Now they just kind of seem lecherous. Creepy old men. I choose just to remember the early music I was enamoured of in infants school, when my best friend and I would sing "Shandie" in the playground. Good times.

Oh how I would have loved to have gone to the Hordern to see Metallica on this tour. But I was only 14, and none of my other friends were really into Metallica. My lovely parents did take my best friend and I to the Sydney Ent Cent when we were 15 to see Poison, but I think the Metallica crowd would have been a little different! And oh how I loved the image of Justice bound, I thought it just so damn clever and meaningful.

The requisite album review page - click to enlarge if you would like! I have all but the Rush and Brittany Fox albums, and when I say album, I mean on vinyl. I have since bought the Ozzy album and The Cult on Cd, because I adore them still. I grew out of Vixen pretty quick, and I think I only played the Tesla album a couple of times, I couldn't even tell you what any of the songs were now. So what will we play? Has to be something from these albums. My fave Ozzy song on this record is Crazy Babies:

And just because it is hilarious, and I mean HILARIOUS, I have some Vixen for you. Why do I remember all of the words to these songs? Why couldn't I remember my Uni work that well? Can you believe the amount of hair product? I love how hair styles for men and women in the heavy metal scene were identical. Have fun!
