Kerrang issue 50 wasn't actually uploaded in the rar that claims to contain it. I will upload it later today to fix that.

By the way: Thanks for all these links everyone, lots of cool stuff in here!

Downloading it as registered worked for 5 megabytes, then the download just stopped, and now I am getting the same error as everyone else on this file. (The pdfmagz link)

Seeing that Metal Forces no. 3 made me realise I actually had that back in the mid 80s. Where the hell did I get that? Metal Forces didn't exactly have wide distribution, did it?

No, it really didn't.
I live in the UK and didn't even see a copy of MF until it was in the #30's.
By the late 80's it's circulation was much wider and you would occassionally see it in newsagents. A pity it wasn't easier to find, as it was much better written than many other contemporary magazines which were far more freely available.

I realised now that I got it at some point in the 90s, used. I guess that's what happens to your memory as the years pass by. I think I first knew about MF due to Kerrang and/or the Speed Kills compilation LP.

Well, my copy disappeared at some time in the 90s (I moved about 6 or 7 times in 10 years back then) so I really appreciate being able to DL it here.
