John’s another of our veteran writers who’s been with us throughout the duration – inking his name to the masthead as far back as issue #004 – which also saw metal legends Judas Priest take to the cover, and, incidentally, was the first issue to feature ZT’s own covermount CD. Like said CD, John brings music to our ears in getting straight to the point, his acerbic wit can catch some off guard, but his modus operandi is to tell it as he sees – or hears – it; other than always conjuring up great copy, there’s absolutely no guarantee he’ll tread lightly across reviews – and it really doesn’t matter whether you’re Tony Iommi or Bleurgggghhhhhblaster from band X, if he thinks something is shite, you’ll soon know… And vice versa for good measure, we’re pleased to say. When he’s not writing, he might well be found directing horror films. Look him up.
