STUCK IN THE METAL WITH YOU: THE "EVOLUTION” OF SHRIEK MUSIK
“Metal is where you find it,” as the sage who runs my friendly neighborhood junkyard once told me, just after he made that uncalled-for remark about my foot straying on the scale. This guy knows his rock ’n’ roll as well as he does his aluminum can futures, as heavy metal’s obviously getting more important to The Music by the day.

“Metal is where you find it,” as the sage who runs my friendly neighborhood junkyard once told me, just after he made that uncalled-for remark about my foot straying on the scale. This guy knows his rock ’n’ roll as well as he does his aluminum can futures, as heavy metal’s obviously getting more important to The Music by the day. Some fanatics are already claiming that heavy metal and rock ’n’ roll have become totally identical, and I wouldn’t necessarily give ’em an argument, not if they’re wearing studded wristbands anyhow.
Oh yeah, oldster that I am (I’m homing in on the big three eight as I type this), I had resisted the idea that the heavy metal Visigoths had risen from their illburied late-’70s graves to sack the cranial monasteries of the general public all over again. It was obvious that these screechers from the dark ages had been leaping off my TV screen to threaten me with their stuffed inseams for months already, but then that’s why these fat burners strut their mascara all over my family room.
