Why I hated guitar magazines when I started playing (GLAM metal content)

Its good to see that very little has changed in the guitar advertising industry - take a fast playing tw@t - stick him in an ad with a fast playing ugly guitar - sell guitars to lots of kids......

I remember most of them. The first Dean Markley ad made me smile in those days. The Vester-girl doesn't look happy at all.

Unsurprisingly, my favourite guitar adds are the 60s Fender 'You Wont Part With Yours Either' - with their subtext of guitars before chicks - how things have changed:

Is that Doctor E. Van Halen?  Cures tongue cancer, doesn't it?  Side effect: fries your brain and removes your ability to play guitar.
