My Interests

music, weight lifting, working out, football (dallas cowboys), baseball (ny yankees), hockey (ny rangers) basketball (ny knicks), going to racetracks, reviewing bands and pro wrestling

I'd like to meet:

It all started back in 1986 when I was asked by then editor of Total Thrash Fanzine, Scott Helig, if I wanted to do some writing for his fanzine and I ended up giving him so much material he said I should start my own fanzine. I looked at that like a challenge and put my 1st issue out at the end of 1986 and have been doing the fanzine ever since then. I stopped doing the print version in 2002 and now all my stuff is still on-line. I still have a passion for this stuff as I did way back when too.

Music:

Thrash metal, speed metal, death metal, power metal, black metal, & any kind of metal...none of that jump nu metal crap though with all the dance metal riffs

Movies:

The Warriors

Television:

The Dukes of Hazzard, Charlie's Angels and Kolchak the Night Stalker..all on DVD of course

Books:

I came up with the name for the zine when in 1985 or 1986 SOD and Overkill went on a 7 dayte tour of the East Coast and the dubbed the tour "The Metal Core" tour so I stole the name from them.
