Awful news about Maniacs.
I have a subscription and have been reading it since day 1.

Wow never thought they'd be gone especially Maniacs. Another Publisher should pick them up.

Check out this thread, includes comments from a Metal Edge writer.

I think it was Metal Maniacs that had a picture of my old old band in it around 1992. I think I have the issue at home somewhere.

the evolution of life. Its weird. Not a big fan of the mag but I was in the younger years. I bough tthose mags around 85 till 88 then punk and skating took over.

Maniacs was good, Edge was for all the lamers that are into nu-metal and/or hair bands.

Still, I'd rather read Metal Hammer if I was to read a metal mag, though I haven't done that in years. I just don't care about the music industry at all really anymore.

I barely even listen to anything anymore.

It's a dying industry. You'll see more close down before too long.

BW&BK stopped doing the Knuckle Tracks last year

I have about 40 of the free comps they put in the magazines, that was the best part of getting them.

Metal Edge was still around?
I used to shoplift that from Clover for this girl on my block as a pre teen
Maniacs was the best back in high school.
Only the book store in the bazaar with the special porn room had it all the time.
i heard of life of agony and alot of good bands from it....
