Any collectors of 90s metal mags on here?

I still have the shirt from the gig a few years previous in the point!

Yeah that was the one that was supposed to be better by all accounts and in my head I'm thinking it must have been fair fuckin good because the 99 one was great as it was

This is a great Donal thread.

The one in 96 the stage was in the middle and the crowd waa all around it,mad set up!

[Carnage]

Was the Cunning Stunts tour the Load/Reload one, with the 'collapsing' lights and 'intimate' encore? Good show but I remember being annoyed at how contrived it all was. And So What is still shite.

Missed COC that night too, was in the bar and came out just as they finished. Raging.

Looked through metal hammers for 1999, no mention of Dublin gig. Ads for Metallica at Dynamo and Milton Keynes, plenty of articles about 3 colours red and pissing razors etc, but no flyer for the Point, sorry.

Was into the first 2 Pissing Razors albums around that time as well. Jesus. Must go back and give them a listen for the craic.

In a similar vein - If anyone has a copy of Terrorizer from 1999/2000 with the "100 greatest albums of the 90s" in it, I'd be willing to pay something for it. Cheers.

I'd have a suspicion they won't hold up too well Matt 

It was funny looking through 6 months of mags last night. Nearly the same favourite bands pushed in every issue. Fucking Dani Filth all over the place. They were making a big drive on 'Britrock' at one point. Radiator and nobodies like that. Then US garbage like static x and powerman 5000. Brutal!

[Dark Stranger]

Seems a whole lot of trouble you're going to anyway!

It's a glaring omission in the flyer folder and the hardcore metal nerd collector in me won't let me stop haha.

Thanks so much for taking the time to look mate!

Aren't they all but?

Mad how we'd all struggle to know how a gig was promoted back then as most of us were online in some capacity and 1999 doesn't feel like a lifetime ago (most of the time). However, social media hadn't really appeared then and people certainly weren't glued to their phones. I used to frequently check bands official websites for tour updates and outside of that I relied on posters and flier handouts for smaller gigs.

[Dark Stranger]

I only found out cos my classmate who was into metal too told me about his. His older brother took us down to it, but he would have had to find out somehow himself. Radio / word of mouth seems mental to me.

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

Was at it, can't remember exactly how I heard. Presumably, as well as radio spots, it would have been advertised in events listings in newspapers too, which people were still reading at the time
