i find it funny how 'The Messiah' comments everyweek about how shit kerrang is yet still bothers to go on the website, clearly has nothing better to do...

Posted by dave | March 20, 2012 7:17 PM | Reply to this

I really want to purchase this issue, but I don't want to subscribe. I can't seem to find the link to order this from the website... :(

Posted by Zahra | March 21, 2012 10:09 AM | Reply to this

Does anyone know what Renny Carroll sang on "Take Me Out"?

Posted by Robbie Smith | March 21, 2012 11:53 AM | Reply to this

I love this issue, specially because it has more information about Linkin Park new's album :3! I'm from Spain, so I don't know where can I purchase it ^^'
Can someone help me? tnx!

Oh look, You Me At Six and Bring Me the Horizon AGAIN, I'm glad Motionless in White got the cover but seriously K! use more pages for unsigned bands, maybe features on bands with upcoming albums like Cancer Bats because I and a huge number of your previous fans are getting sick of seeing Oli, Josh and Any Ballsack in every damn issue, it's caused me to stop buying your magazine on a weekly basis like I used to, I only buy it now if I'm interested in the band on the cover.

Shut up because you obviously have nothing better to do so if you don't like the website stay off because no one cares what YOU think:-)

@Sarah, using the term "lol" automatically makes your comment worthless, you seem retarded, make the music world a better place by Hannah Bonding tonight.

I will donate £10 of my own hard-earned money to a mongoloidian foundation in your name if you do.

Is it possible to buy this issue online? i live in the netherlands and they dont sell kerrang in store.

Posted by Menno | March 21, 2012 6:47 PM | Reply to this

Oli Sykes and Josh Franchesci are in this issue? Then I will not buy it, I will boycott every issue with these two in because I am sick of seeing them. Kerrang, you are a rock magazine so start acting like it instead of heat or the sun. I want to hear about new music not how Oli and Josh "bro down" or see YM@6 take over Kerrang, get your fucking act together because other alternative rock magazines are putting you to shame with their content at the moment.

@Menno, be thankful, your country is saving you.

Posted by The Messiah | March 21, 2012 8:18 PM | Reply to this

Oh dear god! The messiah is such a dickhead,anyway i might buy this issue. ;)

Posted by katy | March 21, 2012 8:30 PM | Reply to this

Hoping other people will be reporting @The messiah for abuse with those awful words. There is no need to pick a fight with everyone, we all have different opinions. Kerrang! As always music i like and don't but i still like them because they're better to me than most. :)

@Katy, wasting your parents' cash is disgusting, especially on disposable crap you'll ditch in a month's time, get a Job. Filthy peasant scum.

@KatiieKaophonicc, you reported me? My, aren't you a badass. We all have opinions as you say, these are mine. Learn to appreciate them, or expire.

The person below me is a Homosexual Bum-Botherer.

I want this magazine :D man summer come soon so i can finally start work and get money to get this! haha

Posted by Amanda Blackheart | March 22, 2012 5:02 AM | Reply to this

Oh my God! Linkin Park are releasing a new album! I can't wait!

@The Messiah, Will you, for crying out loud, get a grip! No-one gives a flying damn abouyt your opinion! As far as we're concerned, you're a stupid waste of time whose sole purpose in life is to make everyone's life as miserable as your own. GTFO here already!

@ x TaliaSixBVB x
I am a sad loner, i have no life, obviously i have no girlfriend. I find it funny to wind people up because i am a cunt. I have no friends. Ive never had sex. Im a total wanker. I apologise to everyone i have offended.

Posted by The Messiah | March 22, 2012 10:32 AM | Reply to this

@xTaliaSixBVBx, I don't care about your opinion either, and I would appreciate you expiring promptly, but we don't always get what we want, do we?.

@Delroy, this site would die without me.

@The Messiah, I do not accept your apology, even though we share the same great screen name, you should probably expire.

Motionless in White are amazing! <3

@The messiah
Yeah, your probably right :L

@ The Messiah, if you don't care about my opinion, then why do you wish I'd "expire promptly"? Get a grip.

Posted by xTaliaSixBVBx | March 23, 2012 1:02 PM | Reply to this

@the messiah is right, @ xTaliaSixBVBx seeing as you're a BVB fan you should probably expire giving your awful taste in music

@Delroy, thank you kindly.

@BVB Are Fags, I know, right? This site needs more people like you, more people that tell it like it is, people like... Him...

Posted by The Messiah | March 23, 2012 6:01 PM | Reply to this

He is coming...

This year... 2012...

The Man...

We all love...

To hate...

Shall return from the brink of death to bring trolling on this shithole site to a whole new Ungodly level, all the emo twonks shall quiver in fear as he rains down insult after insult and gives your grandparents cancer. Expect to be stunned... No shocked and horrified! He is coming, let us hope Bulger will remain buried and McCann remains undiscovered... For no child who has suffered shall escape his wrath, no shity band shall remain unscalded! I see Lerrang has stated on the cover what He and his closest friend have been trying to say for years; "Meet your new favourite band!" flocking like retarded fringed sheep to any new poser faggots that gain coverage in this magazine, may Kony come for you all.

He is coming, remember that...

Kerrang! is great, but it always seems to be the same bands. Don't get me wrong, You Me At Six, Paramore, Linkin Park etc. are great for me but seriously K!, I wanna hear about new bands!!

Posted by Randomized | March 23, 2012 7:07 PM | Reply to this

Please get a Giant paramore poster in your next issue or future issue,it would great.

Posted by sarah | March 23, 2012 7:21 PM | Reply to this

After reading the article on MIW, I decided to give them a listen. Very much my interest in music. Glad I listened to them. Ta, Kerrang! :)

Posted by Amie | March 24, 2012 5:37 PM | Reply to this

Yeah a giant Paramore poster would be great. Means I could wipe my arse with it.

@The Messiah @BvbAreFags To be honest, what you're saying is really pissing me off. It's people like you who made me listen to BVB in the first place! I have a crappy life, my family hates me, I'm disabled and most of the time I wish I would just die, but BVB most of the time bring me out of that dark place and they help me stand up for what's right, but you just keep hating on every damn person here and it's sick! You have no idea what some of these people have gone through and being as heartless as you are actually could end up killing someone! How would you feel about yourself if someone on here commited suicide because you told them to? Well? It's just downright sick and someone needs to fucking teach you a goddamn lesson1 This has really pissed me off and I'm downright tired of seeing your stupid, pathetic comments every single day! Just leave people alone already and get a life!

Are you all a bit too young to understand The Messiah posts his comments to get every reaction you have given him?
Either have fun with it, or ignore him.

@xTaliaSixBVBx, so people made you listen to Black Veil Brides, they're not something you stumbled upon yourself and felt any sort of connection to... Interdasting.

Most people go through hell growing up, so if you've truly had a novel worthy sob story that could make Anne Frank look like a moaning whore, then I apologize.

Posted by The Messiah | March 26, 2012 4:25 PM | Reply to this

It seems like all BVB fans have terrible lives but are saved by these dicks music. Lets jump on the depression bandwagon. Considering most BVB fans are teenage girls, I don't think any of you really know what real depression is.

The amount of shite the BVB army come out with, this is exactly why you are hated. If people's lives are as bad as they claim to be then suicide may be the answer.

you may or may not know this but Josh Franceschi and Oli Sykes are in rock bands and kerrang is a rock magazine so technically they have a right to be in the magazine and on the frornt of it . If you dont like them and are sick if hearing about them then shut up moaning , either dont buy that issue of kerrang or just skip the pages that they are on stop maing such a big deal about it , and unlike you loads and loads of people love hearing about them.

@The messiah use the word die instead of expire, we know what you mean and you are a sick disgusting b*stard but hey that's my opinion, haha he's so pathetic that he actually does care that's why he is lashing out at everyone. Did your last partner laugh at you in bed or are things not going right at home? We all have our problems you troll why don't you figure out what's wrong with you.
