K honestly. Give it up. If you have Black Veil Brides plastered on EVERY cover, then it's time to shut-her down. Make a pop magazine! That's where you're leaning towards. Like honestly, the only good shit you got in there is Avenged Sevenfold. Where's Marilyn Manson? He just came back and you don't have shit? He should be front cover in an issue! Like you'll NEVER be like Revolver, because secretly, they all hate BVB and MCR ect. and KNOW what REAL music is. Pussy bands they're called , those two. Where's bands, real bands, like Green Day, MORE Avenged Sevenfold [Who deserve it as a whole.], Marilyn Manson, Rise Against[PROMOTE them at the least], Disturbed ect? Just because you throw in Metallica, doesn't mean you're going to have the real great rockers like Gene, Angus Young, Steven Tyler. And you know, why are all the singers the only ones that get credit? Last time I checked Afterlife wouldn't be as an impressive song is Syn Gates and Zacky and The Rev weren't in it? THEY are the real ones with skill. Give it up k!.

in the k! magazine it said the next issue would feature a poster special of rockstars that have died. the rev, kurt cobain and paul grey. what happened to that?

Posted by RIPtheREV | July 3, 2012 6:22 PM | Reply to this

should be a half decent issue but i bet you half the top 10 will be people from tiny bands that no ones ever heard of

Posted by Meeeee | July 3, 2012 6:59 PM | Reply to this

You spelt Avenged Sevenfold wrong.. Now i'm pissed!
Don't know if it's supposed to be a joke or not? But I didn't find it funny... you're supposed to be 'professionals' and know your fucking bands and at least how to fucking spell. And I like You Me At Six, but for fucks sake give it a fucking rest. And I agree with K!yourshitnow. K! needs more A7X and Marilyn Manson. I only buy this issue when I see some bands that I love mentioned or I won't get it.. and when I do, I skip like 80% of the pages cause they are filled with bullshit. Get your magazine sorted please.

Posted by Jooo | July 3, 2012 10:18 PM | Reply to this

seriously? you people are stupid...... .-. Can't believe you spelled Avenged Sevenfold's name wrong. At least do some research so you know how to actually spell it. .-.

You can complain about how awful Kerrang Magazine is all you want but the only way to actually get the content changed is not to buy it at all. I've been buying kerrang since I was 15 years old, I am now 21 & have finally been forced to stop buying it because every issue just keeps getting worse & worse. Instead of interesting stories about different bands in every issue we're given top 100 lists of nothing of particular interest, take this week's issue for example, I'd much rather an interview with Periphery or gojira who both have released new albums recently than "the 50 greatest rockstars" which I'll just flick through 80% of. If you're sick of seeing YM@6 & BVB as much as I am, simply just don't buy K! when their sales drop they'll change, it seems despite people voicing complaints on this website each and every week they choose to ignore us, so hit them where it hurts in their pockets.

Rockstars today? maybe but rockstars in the world? still have to point to the word "today"... or not today but "these days" cuz good rock doesnt age, its classic and carried on, this new bands have their share of contribution but there are bands that will always -always- be the greatest forever and where are they? not in this list... makes me wonder?

It's funny how so many people talk shit about the new bands today. MUSIC AGES, Get over it. There are no bands like all those old bands. In each generation music is going to evolve/change a little. You may like it, You may not. But I'm guessing it's not like you'd even give these new bands a chance. All those older bands have had their time in magazines back in their day. They're still good, yes, But it's time for the next generation to be put in magazines & get a little spot light. There are many people who like them, So Stfu & get over yourselves; I don't see you in any magazines. They're trying to make it to, So give them props & respect them, Quit hating.

I met You Me At Six around October last year and Josh was my favorite at the time. He just said hey and that was it, he seemed to have a quite bit ego and I actually thought he was shy or something ._. Chris is shy. Dan, Matt and Max were the ones that seemed happy to meet the fans and they talked to me for quite a while. Max gave me an high five and Dan said he liked my hat, bracelets and shirt. They actually made an effort and stuff, which I was really happy about. Dan and Max are definitely my favourites now because they have a lovely personality and they are really fun. Fuck Josh to be honest :)

@Dustin you probably won't read this but you are a moron. Yes music ages but there is a thing called variety. Also there are plenty of new bands like the old bands trying to bring back older generation music but they can't cause they get no publicity from magazines like kerrang which is why you think there is none. Long story short kerrang is shite and its readers are idiots.

Have you not read Kerrang before?
That is the only shite Kerrang ever put in their pop magazine.

I just wanted to say, the peta advert in the magazine this week made me sick.

It's a cruel, hyportitical organisation that puts down thousands of animals a year.
Why on earth there was an advert in there is beyond me, when so many better animal charities exist.

It is disgusting and that (more than ym@6) is what would put me off buying your magazine. I just don't agree with peta being supported by anyone, it's fucking awful.

Seriously, "K!yourshitnow", I'd like to point on that Revolver is a METAL magazine. I would know, I get it every issue. That's where you are going to find Marilyn Manson and Slipknot. But here is for Punk, Rock, and Alternative. Black Veil Brides is no where near pop. And don't even start with My Chemical Romance alright? They've been in the buisness for over a decade, and they've fought their way to prove themselves. They don't get enough attention. But they'll tell you they aren't Metal, they aren't Hardcore, but they'll sure as hell tell you they aren't Emo either. And do you really think that people loved Green Day when they started out? No, they proved themselves too. And Kerrang has talked about their new albums. So before you hate on a magazine, realize that yes, certain magazines will have certain types of music.

Kerrang is shit these days, I wouldn't be surprised if the wanted or one direction were in next week's issue, it really has gotten that bad.

So glad I cancelled my subscription & got one with metal hammer, it was best choice I ever made.

And fucking Skrillex in the "Top 50 Rockstars" don't make me laugh

The type of people that read k! these days are the same type that love twilight, 50 shades of grey & buy into all the trendy shit like mindless sheep

all time low, ym@6, bvb, bmth & all the other pop punk bands out there are the cancer that is slowly killing rock music, I hope you scene kids will move onto something else that's "trendy" soon before you're stupid poser ways ruin rock forever.

If you like pop-punk you are not a rock fan, simple as.

@Everyone slagging Kerrang off...
Don't read it?!! You obviously can't stand to keep away from the website if you're commenting on it. You can't hate it that much!
They can't always cover who you want to read about. They're writing a magazing to appeal to a range of people. Not just you! It's a bit pathetic claiming it's turned into a 'pop' magazine. Since when are Black Sabbath, Slash, A7X, Lamb Of God, etc. pop?! They're not. Maybe you should grow up and find something you like rather than slating what you don't? I don't like BVB, Paramore, Youmeatsix, etc. but I don't come on here slagging them all up.

Greenday became sellouts. A7X is starting to lose it. Trust me, they are good live, but their sound is starting to get generic, The only thing keeping them from sounding like every other band is M. Shadow's voice, which he will soon lose because its constantly being strained. I've been a fan of Avenged for a long time now and have gotten pretty tired of it. Cool dudes too, they just need to get their act together. And most of you are forgetting the key word, "TODAY." So no Steven Tyler (who can't sing anymore and sold out when he joined American Idol) or Metallica or anybody else around that era. If you guys hate this mag so much why bother complaining about putting these great bands on there. Kerrang sucks most times, (definitely not my favorite) but they aren't forcing you to read their magazine. Go read Revolver or Alternative Press for crying out loud and stop bitching about K! JUST DON'T BUY IT!!

Posted by Juan | July 7, 2012 11:10 PM | Reply to this

Kerrang I love your magazine and I love bands like BMTH, BVB, YM@6,Lost Prophets and Paramore!!!

I love these bands because they write amaaaaaaazing music!
To even suggest that this "wanna be" BVB "Fearless Vampire Killers" have a rockstar that is cooler than Ashley Purdy is crazy!!!

When you first put them in Kerrang I was desperate to give them a listen,but their songs are rotten!!
BVB have Fallen Angels!!! It's amazing!
You me at six have 20amazing songs!
Bring me the horizon have Chelsea Smile and Anthem!!!

Where the hell was Ian Watkins???? He is defo a current rockstar!!!!

Please Listen to the music kerrang and not just image!!!

@ Sarah

That is all Kerrang look for in a band now - image. That is why BVB are mentioned week after fucking week. Kerrang only care for the image and that is how BVB made it famous, they appeal to the 14 year old girls. Same with BMTH, famous due to image.

Let's be honest people - youmeatsix, Paramore, BVB etc, these are pop bands. As such kerrang has become a pop magazine more concerned with a bands image and the latest fad as opposed to the music.

What the actual fuck? I don't even know 90% of those bloody "greatest rockstars". I get it, if I don't like what they write I shouldn't buy it. Okay then! I'll fucking stop, but one thing pisses me off about K!. They call themselves a rock magazine yet they are full of pop crap.

They're disgracing rock and its doing my head in.

One more thing... where the fuck is Jonathan Davis? YOU PUT FUCKING SKRILLEX IN THERE AND YOU DIDN'T HAVE A SPOT FOR JONATHAN DAVIS. You guys are funny.

With that said, I can go and read some Metalhammer. At least they are not wasting my money. And next time you see me with a copy of K! magazine, I probably bought it for the posters.

Why doesn't everybody shut up about how shit Kerrang! is? If you didn't like it, you wouldn't be on THEIR WEBSITE & you probably wouldn't have even seen the magazine. You obviously have waaay too much time on your hands if you need to come and bash something you don't like. If you hate it som much, try setting up and writing your own fucking magazine, and have people bash what you write. People are spending time writing this, and thousands of people buy & read it. You don't like it, GO SOMEWHERE ELSE. I don't like half the bands they mention, but I don't hate on them for mentioning them! Chill! Face it. All your favourite bands are NEVER gonna be covered in one issue of a magazine, so maybe you need to get over yourselves!
And the people who are labelling Kerrang! as 'pop'?! Maybe you should get your fricking ears tested, cuz Ozzy and the majority of the people mentioned in Kerrang ARE NOT POP.

I lost interest in Kerrang a few months ago when they started dropping the good music and adding whiney scenefags on the front cover, after reading a friends copy of this weeks Kerrang and reading this list I completely give up with the modern world.

Kerrang, instead of changing your image to fit what the 12 year old public want to here, such as BVB, YM@6 and ALT please remember who your original fans are and keep them up to date with bands such as Lamb of God, Trivium and Machine Head who were the reason we all began reading in the fucking first place.

metal fans, we can still be considered as fucking lucky because they didn't put justin fucking bieber in it. i think they're about to get to that fucking level as they spell A7X wrong! oh, shit! Kerrang, i suggest you don't call yourself a rock mag and change to a fucking toy or a fucking gay mag! you are a fucking disgrace!

hey...your right, but i think that if black veil brides ect are popular they should still be part of Kerrang!...but i do believe that there should be a space for the other bands. BUT Kerrangs fucking disappointing, its changed and its not even worth being a rock mag anymore!

You think that this magazine has gone to shit just because they haven't been putting the bands YOU think are accepable then unsubscribe. Stop wasting your time and commenting. Kerrang is doing what they have to do to make money. You think those bands are "pussy bands" when those bands to other people are awesome bands. Some of the words you guys are saying are hilarious and stupid "whiney scenefags" really? How old are you? Whatever. I read these comments a couple of days ago and came back over here to buy a mag and decided to comment. Well haters keep trolling and writing retarded comments.

Either the Chelsea Marshall post is a fake or there is a contender for the thickest comment ever posted. Talk about retarded comments.

i like the fact that they have a variety of people. And i am a fan of them doing whatever the fuck they want. Such as putting who they want on the cover. Especially Black Veil Brides being on the cover. So they shouldn't "give it a rest" they're doing a magnificent job. Stop hating^__^

Haha... Awesome. This is the first time I have visited this website. Kerrang sucks, MTV sucks, the mainstream is all owned by the same people who don't have a clue about music.

@ "K!yourshitnow"
I don't know why you're hating on Black Veil Brides so much. Avenged Sevenfold had them open for them during the Buried Alive tour. And they aren't a "pussy" band thank you very much. Andy Biersack broke two ribs and shattered another halfway through a concert, got back up, and finished the freakin concert.

Kerrang has become all about pop style punk and not rock like it says it does to be honest i think scuzz was always better than you. Live life loud? Stop with the scene kids and play some decent rock, metal eg mad capsule markets, spineshank,pantera and king prawn. Wake up and give us the people want we want
