"With: You Me At Six"
"News: Falling In Reverse"
"All Time Low"
"Gigs: You Me At Six"

Yeah...............I'm glad I cancelled my subscription 3 weeks ago, mag's gone awful as of late.

One introducing page is just awful, metal hammer? Around 30 new bands per issue to check out, Rocksound? I lose count because there's so many.

I'm jumping off this sinking ship, no respect for these guys anymore it's basically Black Veil Brides & You Me At Six: The weekly update.

Finally a Paramore poster where it's not just Hayley Williams. Don't get me wrong, I love Paramore. But finally.

Paramore and My Chemical Romance giant posters. Surprise sur-fucking-prise.

Kerrang's constant ass kissing of You Me At Six actually made me hate the band. They were alright before they were mentioned unnecessarily in every god dam issue of this magazine.

I wonder how the K! Team get up in the morning, knowing what had become of what used to be a respected rock mag.

It' be good if they mentioned bands like the Foo Fighters more often. You me at six in every issue? Are you kidding? It's honestly putting me off the band completely. Too many new bands that sound the exact same, It's so boring..

K! seriously... Don't you think that people have enough Paramore and MCR posters... don't you think people are sick of hearing about YM@6 and any other band you continue to talk about in just about every issue. I personally don't buy Kerrang! anymore because of how it's got...
Maybe try mentioning some different bands for a change. As said above, Foo Fighters for example... Biffy Clyro, Muse you know all those other bands that got cast out the window. It's getting very samey :/. As said above, you're talking about bands that sound the same and yeah it's really boring.. :/

too much you me at six, seriously..I mean I didnt really like them in the first place but theyre so overrated now. Leave them out of at least one issue, and add in some other bands. As much as I love them, its not all about MCR, BVB and Paramore..

Posted by Louise | June 7, 2012 7:46 PM | Reply to this

wooohhoo mcr again althougt they are in it alot but that dosen't bother me:D

Posted by MCR4life | June 7, 2012 8:33 PM | Reply to this

I will admit MCR is one of my favourite bands but even i am getting sick of seeing them in every issue. Paramore, YMAS and BVB are all seriously overrated bands! Why don't you try putting some talented bands in the magazine ibstead of selling out for 13 year old fangirls. I very rarely buy Kerrang anymore i find the content hypocritical and it seems you don't even write about the music anymore. I've lost all respect for Kerrang.

It's funny, I never even had a problem with you me at six, heck I even thought stay with me was a good song. Kerrang have given this band so much cover in their magazine that I actually cannot fucking stand them now.
