[kj] (OT)Rammstein

[Mister Black]

I usually browse through a glossy Metal mag  in the supermarket and just have a look through it , usually when some pervy bloke is looking over my shoulder and coping an eyeful of the soft-core magazine that I'm reading , I then usually put it down and pick up a Metal-Hammer mag or something........just until hes gone away

Why would you waste your time with glossy metal mags just out of interest?
Hardly a proper cross-section of the metal community...
