Hi Mike!!! i would really like to see more of this series because this magazine is "new" to me..... Loved that they have a lot of text and some cool photos and ads too. cheers
Nice one! Back in 1990 / 91 I had a penpal I traded demos with and most important he had bootleg tapes of gigs I went to! Obituary, Morgoth, Sanctuary, ... I spoted Hellhound on the demo pages, I love their two tapes,I since bought them on CD. I also have the Nuclear Assault and the Angel Dust demos on vinyl now.
I've heard a few demos over the years but I never really went down that road. I've never heard Hellhound either lol. I see Dan Lilker is touring with Anthrax for some reason Frank Bello can't play them.
Nice one Mike. I had pretty much every copy of Metal Forces i think. Just missed maybe the first and last couple. Will have to delve into the loft to find them, and i'm sure they're all in a big bag in reasonably good condition. I know the magazine writers kinda shat on Kerrang, but i had to agree this was far the better UK magazine out there. I think the album rankings in earlier issues were out of 10 : ) I recall RTL being a 10 for one : ) I got a load of albums from the Shades adverts, etc, in this magazine, and it led to finding out about and getting fanzines, and demo tapes. So i have very fond memories of Metal Forces. More of these will save me the bother of hauling mine down from the attic : )
You're sitting on a wee gold mine with all them, certainly at the moment. I suppose everything has a shelf life because future generations won't have the same connection and therefore won't be inclined to pay out for things like albums and games etc
@@metalmickey I never would expect anyone to pay anything like £50 a copy. I have literally hundreds of vinyl (mostly black vinyl btw, lol), from late 70's to around 87/88, and again, i still can't believe that people would want them other than job lots. Crazy ain't it.
Interesting way of showing it Mike. There was a lot of text in there, which you couldn't really read, but your narration was more than enough to get the picture of what was going on back then. Hopefully you'll be able to show some more of these magazines.
I love seeing all those old Noise & Roadrunner adds! Was crack popular back then? Because whoever gave 28 to Accept Russian Roulette & 80 to King Kobra Thrill Of A Lifetime is f#%ked in the head lol. Good one Mike 🤘
Yeah but I'm only concerned with the really old ones. The people who watch my videos are mostly interested in the 80s. You've got a good job tho if that's what you do.
@@metalmickey I was merely letting you know it's still going. I'm an 90s metalhead, Metal Forces changed my life. It has 2 Facebook groups and one is for the old issues and nostalgia

Best magazine ever, going since 83 and on Facebook
Interesting video, a real trip down memory lane.
Yeah way down lol. Before my time. Quite a few bands I don't even know.

Agent Steel Unstoppable Force came out in Europe in 1986 and in 1987 in the U.S.A.
Ah ok I always thought it was 87.
Nice one Mike.

Metal Forces is online

I just uploaded a real life one yesterday actually mate. Cheers dude
use to love reading bernard doe's album reviews
More of the same please. Regrettably I didn't buy Metal Forces, and to think that copies go for fifty quid each is just eye watering.
Yeah some of those old mags are probably only worth looking at on a video as well. Not everything will be gold.
I have spare copies. I write for Metal Forces online

Yeah it's insane the scoring. I looked through another one and Cold Lake got zero.
Hey Mickey, that was great, would love to see more 80's mags. can you tell me where you found this mag online?
I have 25 videos like this only with real magazines and beyond that I'll put a link in sometime today
Wasn't bad. Never heard of most of those bands, but that could be a location thing. Still interesting to watch.
Cheers dude
Metal Forces is online, I do all the reviews.
