Shite anyways, but still.

As per the previous Download article (See comments), told you the festival was going to get worse. I despair as a ticket holder. Even the magazine looks better this week - can't we have Machine Head, Turisas, In Flames, The Answer, Mayhem, etc. on a more regular basis?

You've got taste *sarcasm*

It's shit hot this week.

And am I the only one that is fucking sick of Panic at the disco already?

Jesus Christ, their older stuff was marginally better, I much preferred that.

New stuff sounds like something of goddamn "Playdays"

Oh get over your fucking self, everyone has different tastes, and mine has to side with Stephanie's...

I swear Machine Head are the most overrated Metal band out there. Who gives a fnck about them? I've heard enough about Machine Head to last me a life time. Kerrang needs more underground and better bands.

I am in total agreement with you Liv.

We got a band that's little talked about in Kerrang these days!

MACHINE HEAD!

Get rid of the shit, bring back issues like this.

I might actually buy this week for the first time in over 5 or 6 months.

Good choice of having Slash and Tom Morello with your Guitar Heroes posters considering they are in Guitar Hero III.

P.S. Tom is well easy to beat.

Posted by Studdman | March 26, 2008 4:03 PM | Reply to this

Oh, Kerrang, you listened to me! I asked for a decent issue for my birthday, I'm 21 tomorrow and you've given me Syn Gates, Dimebag and Slash posters, Machine Head, Velvet Revolver and Iron Maiden.

Pester power works!

What someone wears does not dictate what they can and cannot listen to.
Listen to yuurself.
Yuur a fucking snob.

Emo/emocore is a subgenre of rock. Just like fucking metal. Kerrang! is a ROCK magazine. Yoo want something full of metal: go get MetalHammer, the clue is in the title. Kerrang! covers every genre of rock and just because yoo don't like emo music doesn't mean yoo can go trashing the people who listen to it.

Wtf. Get a life.

Emo's not so bad. It sucks that emo means something totally different from what it did 5 years ago. Has anyone here heard of the band Abraxus? Freakn awesome stuff! NOT emo, in case you're wondering.

Slight overreaction, maybe? It's ok to have an opinion, but not to insult someone for theirs. I agree that people shouldn't complain about there being metal bands in a metal magazine but I'm not going to go around calling people scum or freaks for it. It doesn't make you cool.

Posted by Becca | March 28, 2008 6:05 PM | Reply to this

Yesss! I've been wanting that poster of Kurt Cobain for ages and, lo and behold, here it is in Kerrang!. I'm so impressed I'm willing to bypass the fact that there is YET ANOTHER freaking Fall Out Boy poster.
And no, I'm not just another mindless fangirl who claims to be a fan of Kurt Cobain's just 'cause he was "hot" or whatever. He changed rock music forever and THAT is why I'm a fan. Thanks for the awesome poster, K!.

2 things2 say
1, why are download tickets sooo expenisve, the best bands r on this year n i really wanna go but its tooooooo expensive. MAKE EM CHEAPER!
