Anonymous said. Yes, Kerrang was pitched at younger metal heads & I never liked it. Geoff Barton was once invited over to the US to interview Styx. It was just at the time when Styx had gone all permed & suited. He began the piece thus: 'I opened the door and thought I had burst in on Toto'. That really made me laugh. He & fellow journalist Pete Makowski (wrong spelling?) wrote the sleeve notes to Deep Purple's Made in Europe.

Barton was famous for relentlessly promoting his favourite bands. This included Rush who he almost single-handedly pushed into the UK's rock conciousness & especially Kiss who were not considered cool at all in 70's Britain. His five stars out of five reviews of their albums were hilarious. When Dynasty featuring 'I Was Made for Lovin' You Baby' was released the sounds staff announced it: Kiss go disco, get out of this one Geoff. Geoff responed by giving the album five stars & stating: 'If this is a disco record then it's the greatest disco record of all time' He had previously dubbed Alive II as 'The Greatest Live Album of All Time' One Christmas sounds left the centre pages blank, asking readers to fill them however they liked & promising to print the best ones. Barbara Creed The Monstrous Feminine Pdf there. There were many memorable submissions. One featured GB as superman mid-flight clutching a Kiss album & uttering 'They've done it again!'
