The Days and nights of a metal journalist



having to review metal cds and interview bands all the time seemed a lot more vexciting BEFORE I actually started doing this. As some of you might know already, I have started by managing the Primal Fear fanclub and making the Primal Fear fanzine, The Steel eagle

Now, that was EASY!
This page is supposed to be a journal about the making of this site, with the best and worse highlights of each week
because, bellieve it or not, IT IS NOT FUNNY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

february 14th-2003

for all our readers- first- I hope that you manage to survive Valentine's Day without being in any way mutilated by your better halves for getting the wrong size bra- AGAIN!
A short update- Steel and Fire is now based in England, as yours truly got married and moved to a better metal location(??!!!!!!!!)
Oh well, at least that was the intention- I won't comment here on the actual outcome of the thing-or not yet:-))

The year 2003 is therefore finding Steel and Fire commuted in the East Midlands of England- who could have probably done very well without me here
fact is that we are now back on with all the news, reviews, interviews and personal mayhem
One thing to mention is that England is hardly the land of true metal anymore- all the mags and radio stations are filled with NU metal crap, and the ONLy good thing worthy of my money was seeing my friend Mat Sinner on the cover of Powerplay Magazine- the last of the decent metal mags.

So yes, the year started nicely with the new SINNER album out-
There Will Be Execution, and what a nice thing to hear in this god forsaken place- I mean OK, I have been a SINNER fan for most of my life, but seriously it's a VERY good album- seriously- leave it to Mat Sinner to put out a great album every year, be it signed SINNER or Primal Fear- you can count on a great release outside Esslingen Germany and they only get better!!
One thing I could have done very well with was the repeated scandal about "Rob Halford going back to Judas Priest or not...", and that is not because i do not like Jp, but because it just caused a large wave of utter nonsense from my favourite victim- the biggest and worse of the brainless blondes aka jayne Andrews- manager coordinator of Judas Priest
To inform each and everyone of you who do not have the displeasure of being aquinted with the animal, Jayne Andrews is the ugly sylicon injected bitch that won't let you get close to JP for an autograph and the person that provides all of the metal world with endless laughs with her extremely unintelligent posts of Judas Priest's official noticeboard. She is the one that keeps complaining that people don't respect her- the next thing I know all the sylicon injected " working girls" on the face of the planet will deman respect on the ground that " if that stupid bitch gets it- so should I" Besides, the " working girls" have probably more reasons to be respected- after all they do WORK for a living- and they don't fill up the Net with idiotic Ripper Owens praises... Now, if I would be any of the JP members-and if the position won't automativcally come with total lobotomy- I would take a long hard look at the thing that doesn't lie- the SALES that is- and then realise that there must be something wrong if JP have financial problems so bad that they cannot afford a decent chat room for their official website...
Ok- that was nasty- but hello!!!!!!!!!! the JP website is probably one of the ugliest on the net...and about as old fashioned as my mother in law- with the note that my mother in law is a very nice person- I live with them so I have to say this you know:-))
anyway- enough bitching for today- see ya tommorrow!
