PLEASE stop putting shitty Black Veil Brides in K! I thought Kerrang! was for REAL bands, not for poser bands that kill rock and metal music!

Posted by Tazmin | June 20, 2012 4:23 PM | Reply to this

I've just bought Kerrang. But not this one, it's from 1981 with the amazing Stevie Nicks in and other classic rock stars. How many of todays "rock" stars will have a career as long as Stevie etc.

I've just given up on K! entirely, it's not even worth trolling 13 year old BVB fanatics anymore.

You can all circle jerk over these shit pop-punk bands until K! goes out of business, I'm done trying to talk sense into this magazine about how they're alienating loyal readers.

Whats the hate towards all of these amazing bands? Especially BVB! They're so cool. And at the download festival people THREW BOTTLES?!? It's stupid. If you don't like rock, don't listen. And heres a message to them;
You got a K! Award, huh? Doesn't that show you something? 'Never Give In!'
(Oh yeh I did! >:D)

I love kerrang magazine. Especially the black veil brides issues. I have a lot of respect for the entirety of black veil brides, I've met them and they are all extremely supportive and genuine people plus they help people that are going through rough times. And yes they won a kerrang award and golden gods awards, so that tells you they have a lot of support and loads of people believe in what they are doing, I'm one of those people ;)

@Tamzin

Dear Tamzin...
YOU DO KNOW BVB FANS ARE READING WHAT YOU'VE JUST FUCKING WRITTEN, RIGHT?! I'm a BVB fan, and what you just wrote really made me feel crap! I've had enough of Architechs, BMTH and people like YOU talking shit about one of my favourite bands!

That will be all, thank you.
