Seems a decent issue, except the posters are generally the same, All Time Low and the like. If it was a different set of posters it would be fantastic, seems a good buy.

I love this issue, but i do agree with the posters always being the same. and id like some giant posters again D: you need more four year strong in kerrang!

Looks like an awesome issue. I am a fan of All Time Low and the more posters, the merrier but there has been a flood of them recently since they released the new album. I say just one more of them playing at Sonisphere and call it a day and bring back all of the MCR poster floods again. ;) hahaha jk

WOO All Time Low barely have any posters in Kerrang compared to some other bands so I can't wait! I love this explosion of ATL posters recently! Defo buying it!

RONNIE RADKE. FUCK YEAH.

Posted by tragicmagic | July 6, 2011 9:46 AM | Reply to this

Yes! Ronnie's in it! He deserves it. After all he's been through. Also, you need some more, rockier posters, like Asking Alexandria and Bring me the Horizon etc.

@Hypo Monster... Seriously, Biffy's a BAND! Not a him. For fuck sake, I hate when people do that.

But, yeah, good Issue :) Poster's are shit though, other than Architect's one.

Im so fucking sick of seeing two-page All Time Low posters. In my opinion, if you really HAVE to include them, they are only worthy of a one-page poster. And yeah I'd love s'more huge posters. I think March was the last issue of big posters. Ive finished three walls (well, one slanted attic ceiling and two walls) of posters n im starting my other wall. I need huge posters on it. Otherwise its stupid cus its just like page size posters swarming the whole wall.. Well, I guess I could go on a trip to Eason's and buy that big poster of A7x.. Yeah I shall.. But please I have enough of ATL :/

Posted by Emma | July 8, 2011 3:00 PM | Reply to this

Wouldn't it be just fucking SICK if there was a huge poster of Cancer Bats. That'd make my week.. Even my month. Or maybe year!Ha. And as much as I love Liam it has to be a poster of the whole band. All I have is a poster of Liam :(
Thats all I want this christmas (ok, thats an exaggeration. Cus I want a hell load of stuff lol.. Im quite greedy) But omg.. JUST THINKING ABOUT IT BLOWS MY MIND O.O

Posted by Emma | July 8, 2011 3:05 PM | Reply to this

Btw, this is for... Uh.. lemme check.. Hypo monster- I love mcr, bvb and all that but seriously dude even me (a big fucking fan) agree that they are in the K! pages just a tad too much... Roo, I totally agree with you. EVERYONE READ ROO'S COMMENT... HE KNOWS WHAT HE'S SAYING. lol

Posted by Emma | July 8, 2011 3:09 PM | Reply to this

LOVE IT! Don't stop with the all time low posters keep them coming! There my favourite ever & deserve more praise! <3

Posted by Tara Murphy | July 13, 2011 11:55 PM | Reply to this

I don't really see why everyone is praising and feeling sorry for Ronnie Radke, he killed a kid that's not something to look up to and the only reason he did a whole 2 years in prison was because he violated the terms of this probation...

Posted by Technoted | July 17, 2011 3:28 PM | Reply to this

@technoted ronnie didnt kill the kid,his friend killed him,it was like a whole group of people fighting,and ronnies friend ended up shotting the 18 year old micheal cook and killing him,but he got away with it as 'self-defense'. so it wasnt ronnie.

Posted by maya | July 25, 2011 10:37 PM | Reply to this

Ronnie Radke DOES deserve praise, he had to go through something he shouldn't have had to go through, but it helped him.
FIR - WHAT A TOTALLY EPIC ALBUM!!!

Posted by SunshineKidd | July 31, 2011 1:20 PM | Reply to this

PLEASE PLEASE PLEAAASE! put more escape the fate in your magazine NOT associated with Ronnie or Falling In Reverse. oh and GIANT escape the fate posters and Black veil Bride's please! would make my yearr <3 and if people have a problem with that then i don't care. can't please everyone. oh and a few other things. as much as i love All time low, pleaase stop putting the same pictures in, in a different setting. and PLEASE stop doing cover stories and poster specials of My chemical romance. i love their music just sick of seeing Gerard's period blood hair careering through the magazine :/ thankyouu! <3

Posted by HannahBethh | August 18, 2011 1:46 PM | Reply to this

Seriously, isn't there enough mainstream stuff in K! now? MCR, BVB, Green Day, BMTH etc. Please, can we get back to some music that's a bit more decent (Don't hate on me groupies, I like all them bands) What about some Biffy, Foo's, QOTSA and Nirvana? I swear Kerrang!'s slowly becoming a home for pop-punk and pop-rock bands.. It never used to be? Long live real rock.

Posted by Maddy Grohl | August 18, 2011 5:13 PM | Reply to this

I want a fucking gigantic muse poster with matt bellamy as the focal point, so I have something new to look at before I cry myself to sleep. Thank you. :)
