This is my first post to the list. I am a life long Metal Head and
ex-thrash/metal drummer for 15 years.

I worked on a Metal Fanzine called DEMOLISH for many years and I have recently
been going through all of the demo tapes, interviews and such an thought I would
get some feedback from the group if anyone would be interested in maybe an
online version and or Blog about the old school metal scene.

The years covered were like 87' - 90'. Mostly the Thrash Metal, Speed Metal,
Power Metal heyday. I have hundreds of great demo tapes, many in-depth
interviews and promos that never saw the light of day due to our sponsor and
investor pulling the plug right before we went to press! I worked on the zine' a
year flying solo, and then was able to reach out and get several writers and
photographers from all over the world and excellent reviewers and or
collaborators in the following busy year.

The reason for this post is that the cover story and main interview for the
zine' was with the KING himself. I did an excellent (and very long) phone
interview when he was promoting the "Abigail" tour! We hit it off really well
and my last name is actually King, so he got a kick out of that. There are lots
of topics discussed that he never vowed to talk about again in the American
press afterwards.

I also have some great photos and I got to meet him Ohio at Bogart's for
autographs (which were originally to be given away for people who subscribed to
the fanzine).

Is there any interest in hearing the interview?

I was thinking about taking on the monumental task of re-recording the interview
(which was originally captured on CASSETTE!) and trying to re-edit and clean it
up . I may also try to get someone transcribe the interview and or type it out
for posting.

Any and all feedback is welcome. Check the link below if anyone is interested in
one of the promo posters I had. I have about 3-4 in great condition (kept. in a
poster tube and protected) and I have 3-4 that are wrinkled a bit and or not
super smooth on the front, nonetheless they ARE super rare and I am sure someone
may love to have a piece of Metal history.

Take care and thanks for keeping metal alive!

Peace,

Curt
