Just saw that WATO article at the top and choked so hard that my throat is burning and my eyes are watering like hell. I can't even begin to explain how much I love them, even if they almost did just kill me.

Another rubbish issue!! Bullet are crap and 30 seconds to mars are shit too! It will be a long time before i buy another issue if you's keep featuring bands like that in it!! Does anyone over the age of 17 still put posters on their walls? LOL!

Okay, guys get over it. yehh Emily the comment was childish, but 'The Messiah' and John if you don't like the bands then fine, no ones going to force you to like them but some people do like them, people need to grow up. you dont like the band fine. but dont talk shit about the people who do, they've done nothing wring liking the band. grow up seriously, saying the Echelon are 'nothing more than hormoanally-charged mongoloids' is just unfair. you don't know them, so you have no right to say that. You don't know the people in the bands so saying shit about them or their fans is childish. Grow up, you dont like the band fine, but some do, your opinion isnt the only one.

okayy if it irritates you that much then why read it? and tbf if your that sad to criticise other peoples music tastes then you must only be about 3 because thats what small children do "my songs better than yours" etc.

grow the fuck up.

grow a pair

stop being a jumped up little asshole who has no taste in music whatsoever

oh and untill you know what the word comeback means, dont bother replying because i have tons of them XD

Posted by zoe | April 27, 2011 9:38 PM | Reply to this

Sian, I have every right to say that, because, not only is it my opinion, it's the absolute truth, they are terrible, and the people who support them are terrible, materialistic, twonks.

Dayna, please, attend school.

Zoe, go home.

How can a opinion be the absolute truth?
And how can someone's taste in music be 'materialistic'? hahaha.

Kassi, "not only is it my opinion, it's the absolute truth" "the people who support them are terrible, materialistic, twonks"

What point, you drooling spastic, do I mention anyone's taste in music?

The retardation is strong in this one.

i love you The Messiah,Flannigan

Bullet are the worst band since the jo bros and dont even deserve to be called metal
and 30 seconds to mars- what a load of bullshit, jared cant fucking sing , act or wright a decent tune to save his moronic worthless life- i hope they split up and mr leto just does us all a favour and fucks off once and for all
p.s- if 30 seconds to shit win best international band at this years K|! awards i will persanally shoot leto,and his ugly brother in the middle of their eyes xxxxx :)

correct me if i'm wrong but isn't materialistic someone who values possessions. how does that relate to taste in music? Thats more of a mental thing.

Two words Kerrang: Fuck you.
Your review of ISpyStrangers' new album was a load of rubbish.
First off, comparing them to You Me At Six and Paramore is complete bollocks.
And yes. The lyrics are "inoffensive" but did you not think, James Hickie, this might have been to make their music more accessible to their younger listeners? It's not all about sex, drugs, and swearing in your songs.
Good way to promote new, upcoming British bands.

The messiah is so desperate to come off as smarter than everyone else, he's can't comprehend that no-one in their right mind cares...
Probably just bitter because he's got a very small penis.

*Ahem* May I interject?
....What's in next weeks issue? Eg. Posters / main featured bands?

Posted by JawKHR | May 2, 2011 1:17 AM | Reply to this

everyone is entitled to their own opinion and people like @The Messiah are trying to enforce their music taste ob everyone else. If you dont like the bands that are featured in this weeks Kerrang, dont buy the issue. Simple. i personally love bullet and i also love 30stm butthe magazine cant always be about the music you like? there are times when i havent bought kerrnag because i dont like the bands features but i dont come on the website and give the people and the bands abuse because i didnt like the bands. Grow up seriously. everyone has their own unique music taste and kerrang is a music magazine which features loads of different bands every week. i do know that 30stm are over rated and are in a lot of kerrang magazines but some people actually like the music featured, okay. 'nuff sdaid, rant over.

there was a misprint this issue. futures only got nine right but they were awarded ten haha. i love futures tbh they were one of the best bands i have seen live.

Posted by Shannonxoxo | May 2, 2011 12:19 PM | Reply to this

Love music and love life thats what I say. I love all kinds of music and reading about music even if I dont like the band. Some people are sooo narrow minded when it comes to music and are really opinionated. If you dont like Kerrang dont buy it. At the end of the day you can't deny that these bands have sold millions of albums... Kerrang sells what people want to read about from The metal gods to the emo screamo stuff If you dont like peoples comments and opinions don't respond obviously.. :D love Kerrang

Does anyone know what poster of Set Your Goals was used? I took one with them in front of a Delorean at their music video shoot and i was wondering if it got used.
