THE COUNTRY ISSUE IS OUT NOW!

MAGNETS

Do you know why this part of the magazine is called "Magnets"? Is it, you ask, because we devote this space to upcoming, so-called "Metal attrac-tions"? Or are we speaking in slang about our "MAGnificent NET Sales"? Or, most deviously, are we referring to that infamous tribe of sociopathic youth that prowl our inner cities with actual nets in search of automobiles with mag wheels?

October 2, 1985

The CREEM Archive presents the magazine as originally created. Digital text has been scanned from its original print format and may contain formatting quirks and inconsistencies.

Nope. We call this section magnets because-incredibly enough-this page itself is magnetic! That's right-magnetic! Just rip it out right now, and go run to the kitchen and stick it on your refrigerator!

After all, won't everyone in your wonderful household be thrilled to the max when they learn that the next issue of METAL will feature an exclusive interview with the granddaddy of metal-that goat-demolishin', pigeon-chewin', gradually-becoming-Goodyear-Blimplike OZZY OSBOURNE? Yepper, it'll be thrill after thrill when Oz The Magnificent tells his deepest secrets to our crafty writer, who will then write it all up and sell it to us for money! And then we've got something especially hot for you: a massive history of AC/DC, featuring bona fide quotes, ideas, new experiences, pro-found observations and more! AND...it'll be in English!

You can bet that those reaching into the fridge for cans of Tab will be stunned to read that METAL's also bringing you METALMANIA: THE '80s & THE '90s, an in-sightful piece about metal today, metal tomorrow, and metal next year! Incidentally, chances are you're curious as heck about URIAH HEEP-we sure are! Well, they're back with a new record company. a new lead singer and a new lease on life-and if you want to find out why. you'll just have to check out the next issue! Finally. award-winning metal scholar Rollo Dexter reveals why, exactly. he feels the way he feels in his thought-provoking essay,"METAL IS MY LIFE"!

There's more, of course-so much more that we've decided to not tell you! You and the over-three-billion other readers of METAL will have to find out exactly what next issue-if you can stand it!!
