Classic Heavy Metal / Hard Rock Magazines...

I know we posted some in the old 70's Heavy Metal thread. Post some of your old magazines here...

A few from the 1970's:




A few from the 80's:












And the 90's:








2003

I've got a crapload of old mags/'zines at home but most are from the mid 90s to the present. I made the poor decision to recycle my collection of '80s mags when I moved out of my parents' house in '97 (cuz I would've had nowhere to put them in the apartment I was moving to), which I regret now.

If I get a chance, I'll lay some of'em out on the rug and take pix when I get home tonight.

I wish I had all the old Metal Edge, Circus, Metal Maniacs, Metal, Hit Parader & HM mags I used to have...tons of them.

I had boxes of Hit Parader, Circus, Creem Metal, Faces, Metal Edge, and almost the entire run of RIP magazine and I got rid of all them after holding on to them for years, because I got tired of carrying them around, I now of course regret this.

I think I kept a Guitar for Practing Musician and Hit Parader magazine from that era.

Me four, it would be fun to go thru once in awhile and read old interviews and album reviews

Here's a few crappy photos of some of my magazine heap:







I have literally hundreds more, I just grabbed these at random. I'll post some more when I have time.

Nice haul FF!!!!

I have this one for sale at $10. or comperable CD trade. Everything is intact.....

I have 2 boxes full of circus,metal forces,and hit parader, + others.Still trying to find any remaining metal forces from 1984-88 i dont have but its hard.

I'm fascinated to see the 1970s ones - first mag I bought was Kerrang - I bought it religiously from issue 1 to around 44.

First time I've actually seen a magazine referencing metal in the 1970s - more of those, please, as I'm helping to compile an archive; http://www.metalmusicarchives.com/

Queen heavy metal? Who'd have thought it (except for Stone Cold Crazy, Sheer Heart Attack, Black Queen, etc.,) - magazines like this give the proposition some creedence, espeically over those kids who keep saying that the term "Heavy Metal" wasn't used until the 1980s!

a new website for old zines if you are interested. some pretty rare pieces available
