Scrapyard Global Metal Survey!

Hello Scrapyard Legions!

I have been thinking of this global metal project lots and couldn't be more excited.  If anyone doesn't know- I want to document the experiences of metal fans from all over the globe.  You know I'm a champion of metalheads worldwide, regardless of background or any other stuff.  What will all this be for? You know, I'm not sure yet.  You definitely will be featured on the Scrapyard Zine blog page, potentially in a print issue.  What's in it for you?  Sharing your experience.  Documenting your history, info about your country/region/state and sharing something about metal for people to read the world over.  Hey, I'm a historian, we love this stuff.

I know a number of people expressed interest in participating and THANK YOU.  I'm going to go ahead and post the survey, so anyone interested in talking about metal and their community is welcome to participate!  Please email all responses and photos, etc. to

SCRAPYARDMAGAZINE@GMAIL.COM

Please do not post responses here, they'll get lost, you'll ruin the fun, etc.  If you want to share something related, but outside the scope of the questions, go ahead.  PLEASE pass it on, if you know someone with a great story.  ANYONE who is a metal fan can participate!  I digress.  Thanks again, cheers!
