Sorry, No music to upload for you today, as I'm rtraveling and on the road. I did recently recover these Old copies of Metal Mania though, so I thought I'd share them with people.
These were put out by Ron Quintana, and were my bible alongside Maximum Rock n roll, and Suburban Voice in the early 80's. I bought all of these at the Record Vault in S.F. during the hey day of the thrash metal shit that was happening there. The zine was seriously great because it was so rawly put together (copy paste style). Thanks to my buddy Devon for returning this safely to me some 15 years later.

That's funny you got those mags. I have about 3 of those collected. I also have a couple of "Whiplash" zines. I know Ron from way back when he used to DJ KUSF - we used to stay up late and listen to the latest metal. That's how I heard about Satan, Mercyful Fate, Jaguar and all those other great bands.
ReplyDeleteI'm so fucking gushing all over this, makes me wish I was born 10 years earlier so I could have grown up reading and collecting this stuff.
