Females are Clueless About Metal, Vol. 1.

If you don't get it, start reciting the titles of Sepultura releases in broken English.
From the second issue of Ballbuster* magazine.  Let's see who's responsible for such excellence in music journalism:
"I'm deluded enough to think being a contributor to a low quality magazine deserves a trip to Glamor Shots."
No surprise there.

*Below-average quality 'zine from the mid '90s that tried to cover a too-wide spectrum of rock and metal.  Chris Forbes was one of their BEST contributing reviewers which should immediately raise a warning flag.  Other less-than-shitty contributors include Keith Mensen of Mystic Force and Wayne Klinger from Half Speed fanzine.  Especially funny were try-hard "ball" puns stated throughout the issues ("band XYZ** has balls," "band XYZ is really on the ball, "ball one"--you get the picture) and the pictures of band members holding up copies of Ballbuster as if that aided credibility.  A solo-era Joey Belladonna clutching your publication is a rousing endorsement, no doubt about it.

**Out of respect for Nasty Savage, and by extension, the pornographic industry, XYZ will be used in lieu of XXX to refer to a generic, nonspecified band here.
