First off, bravo to Bone Rott for making the cover of the only magazine in the world (ok not including Brazil) that would ever let a trio with those mugs represent it’s paper. Yikes. When you move to LA you have this idea in your head that you need to drop 30 pounds, get an expensive haircut, and cite obscure classic rock and basement tape artists to get anywhere. Bone Rott and Rock City are proof that this is not true for METAL.
Now I definitely do not have any problem at all with a magazine promoting the local scene, the fact that this magazine exists and is keeping METAL alive in LA earns all of my respect. My issue here is the fact that this paper was picked up at a local library.. the last place on earth you would think you’d find this zine.. not because it’s about METAL, but because this is the most lazily-edited paper I’ve ever read.
Let’s try to spell the band’s name correctly, especially when they’re on the cover. (Also guys, is the name spaced or not? Google tells me no, your logo tells me yes.)
Beetles? Really? not Beatles, but Beetles, like the insect? Yeah? Ok, sure.. we’ll go with that.
Jani Lane is looking goooooooood! (PS this is Jani Lane – ex singer of Warrant, though I can understand why you would swap out his photo for these girls and a guitar.)
That’s BC Rich Guitars chief, you make C.C. DeVille cry!
This could be a misspelling of the band Saliva’s name, unless they’re talking about the psychoactive herb Salvia, which I do not doubt these writers have more than a little experience with.
