You know one thing I love about Snakepit?

[Temple of Blood]

Just one of the things I love about Snakepit:

Even if they have an article on a band I don't personally enjoy very much, it is always an interesting read. It's like watching one of those epsidoes of Behind the Music on VH1. I love to hear about how the music business treated em, the nasty tensions between the band members, the ups and downs of life on the road, their songwriting process, etc. I always like to hear what the scene was like back in the day from an insider's point of view.

THANK YOU!!!!!! That's what we were researching when we were the S-Team and what I'm still trying to achieve with every feature I do....

I agree, being far too young to have been there back in the day. Snakepit is so important to work up metal history and will be a source for future research when people should delve into metal history.
Well, once they get across the awful English, haha...just kidding...

I'm gonna try to fix my English for upcoming issues O. Razor!

[Occam's Razor]

It has charm, definitely. A lot of it might be due to the lack of a proofreader. It is perfectly normal in such a large amount of text to have some misprints and redundances, but I was actually wondering about your English, since you have been into the whole thing for such a long time.

[Guest_big mouth]

Do you think my English is too limited or...? I didn't get it here O. Razor.... Before the texts were proofreaded by Matt Coe but I quickly saw that there was still mistakes -sometimes- in the texts so....

One issue worth of Snakepit is worth the content of a hundred other metal fanzines. It took me ages, for instance, to fully read the Dark Angel-interview or the already legendary Anvil Chorus-feature and I wouldn't have it any other way! Snakepit reading just lasts longer and that's just as well.
The non-native speaker's English of certain writers can be amusing at times, but in a way that just adds to the charm of the 'Pit as far as I'm concerned. And anybody with half a brain knows that loads of lyrics in the metal genre are often a lot more silly than anything published in Snakepit.

I'm looking forward to the new issue, but I've got to be patient, as my copy from France has arrived, but is still at a friend's house. At last: the Realm-interview!!!!

To store my precious SP-issues, I even use a cardboard box that contained an excellent French white wine from Alsace-Lorraine - if that isn't both an appreciation and a quality statement, I don't know what is.
(Très snob, vous dites? Ah, tant pis. )

Ah Prof, you always amaze me!!!!! Wine producers would be happy to know that their packages has a second life- and what a life!

The prof pretty much summed up what I think - thumbs up Laurent, without Snakepit, the metal world would be missing something. And yes, I am still not finished with reading the new issue in its entirety. Resourceful to the last page.

the greatest cult metal fanzine on the planet!!

[Guest_big mouth]

Thanks.... glad you consider it that way!

Yeah, I can proofread all the features for the new issue if you want me to Laurent! HAHA! I think I did a pretty decent job on the HEATHEN piece in the new isssue, though ...

Snakepit is like an encyclopedia of Heavy Metal indeed. A true resource! I still have every issue except #1 ( )
