[kj] SCARIEST record...

[gingoblin at easynet.co.uk]

I think the best "taking Venom seriously" case has to be the Norwegian 
black metal scene!

It's funny, 'cos far from Venom being scary, they are actually one of the 
funniest bands on earth. I have a few interviews on tape/video... they're 
fucking hilarious (intentionally too... it's not a case of "laughing AT them").

cheers, Dave
