METAL LETTERS: WHY THE VERY IDEA OF IT IS SO INCREDIBLY OUTSTANDING!

Just think: a brand new magazine totally devoted to you!

We're stunned no one’s ever thought of it before!

Yep, METAL LETTERS is its name, and being “your” forum is its game! It’s a magazine and it’s more than a magazine! Or an advertising slogan! Or a bunch of words! Yep!

Understand this: here at CREEM headquarters, we get so many pieces of mail sent to us daily—so many, many, many—that we’re convinced a mag like this is a positive must\ And you want to know what else we’ve noticed? Of all the CREEM empire’s mags, it’s CREEM CLOSE-UP: METAL that gets the most mail!

That’s just the reason we’ve put together METAL LETTERS! This is the exclusive battleground for metal fan and foe alike! It’s where guys who hate Motley Crue can verbally assault guys who love Motley Crue! Or girls!

We’re so gung-ho on the sheer public-serviceness of METAL LETTERS that we insist you address any and all comments about it, the letters it’contains, or its handsome editors to METAL LETTERS, P.O. Box P-1064, Birmingham, Ml, 48012! Tell us if you want to read more stuff like this! Tell us if this is really boring and we really blew it! Or—most importantly—enclose hundred dollar bills along with your requests for various readers’ actual addresses! Maybe we’ll help out\ We like you!

METAL LETTERS. So brilliantly conceived, it could be lousy and it’d still be great!

Trust us,

The Editors, in a way
