Nightrain Fanzine?

Remember zines?  Homemade magazines made with a copier and distributed to friends or suckers that would pay a few bucks for an issue?

Apparently someone was making a GNR zine for a while.

 

Just found this listing for sale in Japan....

Is this something anyone would be interested in?

I was a sucker that bought at least 1 copy. It was a UK version I got. I still have it. My edition is from the Chinese era and mentions VR too. 

2500 Yen is about £17.50.

The "sucker" remark was just for the zines I remember being foisted on ME back in high school and college.   Some kid with a smudgy black inked manifesto about communism and punk rock and stuff like that....stuff I had no interest in.   I'm sure I'd have picked these up back in the day since there was ZERO news from the Guns camp from about 1993 to 1999.

These were usually the people who made fanzines.
 

And as mentioned, essential reading for news on some regions back in the day and usually a labour of love.
