Scott Ian for K! Awards

Anthrax's Scott Ian has been confirmed as the presenter for this year's Kerrang! Awards, which take place in London on August 23.

"I'm excited, I think it's gonna be a lot of fun!" says the guitarist. "I've never hosted an awards type of thing before, but I was the minister at my brother's wedding, so I had to get up there in front of everybody and actually be the guy running the whole show, so after doing that this should be pretty easy!"

Ian's memories of K! Awards past, made the decision to get involved this year a no brainer: "I went a couple of years ago when Anthrax got an award and I had a blast, so, I figured it'd be even better this time because I get to be more of a part of it,"

Well obviously he isn't a twat and doesn't care about the genres and scenes that everyone else seems to be so concerned these days

Scott Ian must think its 10 years ago when Kerrang was still cool...
Doesn't he know he is a fuckin' God of metal and he will definately be giving awards to Enter Shikari and MCR?
He's better than that but, hey... to each thier own.

Scott does not care for genres, all he cares about is making money by any means. A man-whore. A man with no integrity doing an awards show for a magazine with no integrity.
He ruined that band just to bring back that Joey twat for a few more dollars.
