Thank you so much for the review of Queen + Adam Lambert. I'm so happy that you went in with an open mind and didn't pre judge Adam for Being on American Idol.
I have been a Rock and Metal fan since my Teens and have bought Kerrang at various times, sometimes regularly and sometimes not, and as your rivals seem unable to give a balanced view I think this may become once again my regular Mag.
I was at Q+A on the 11th and it was one of the best concerts I have ever been to, and I've seen a lot.
I'n definitely not a fan of American Idol but Adam caught my eye about 3 years ago and I've followed his career ever since, he doesn't always sing Rock but when he does he is magnificent, and he is a brilliant showman, jut like Freddie was. I'm sorry you didn't include a picture of the brilliant Elmo Pimp Jacket he wore for Dragon Attack, Freddie would have been proud.
Here is a good Photo from @ChristieGoodwin: https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/599631_10150967844789091_683271470_n.jpg

And riddle601b has some good videos on You-Tube.

The only thing I would quibble with though was that I did enjoy the middle acoustic and solos section very much, there wasn't a dry eye in the house when Brian sand Love of my Life and Freddie joined in for the last verse. the whole thing was a brilliant experience.

Not having a go at Kerrang but there's nothing new or relevant in this issue. They could have had the gaslight anthem or don broco on the cover talking about their new albums but for whatever reason decided to have MCR talk about an album that is fast approaching ten years old. Nothing about this issue appeals to me and I won't be buying it, the two previous issues with Slipknot and Greenday were both brillaint though.

wtf kerrang? Mcr on the cover AGAIN
i thought you would of had While she sleeps or gaaslight anthem on the cover... Fucking shit issue AGAIN

Thank you so much for reviewing the Queen and Adam Lambert shows so well! Adam often gets doubted a lot by big rock magazines because he came from American Idol, but it makes me happy to know that you understand how incredible the voice he has is. He could raise the roof of any stadium worldwide <3

Great issue!!! The cover is fine. What's a bit of blood ROFL. I was at the Queen gig too. Loved it. Brian & Rog still got it - just slowed down a little. Lambert was awesome.

Posted by Christen | July 29, 2012 11:48 PM | Reply to this

Dear 'MCRmy'/Killjoys:

Stop.

While we all understand that you liking MCR does not directly make you a bad person, your fanbase is represented by rabid PMS-ing fangirls that argue with each other over who is the 'better fan.' I'd advise you to take a moment and think before expressing your approval of Kerrang! butt-fucking this band so that it'll sell issues. You know you're going to get hate for openly praising a band that does not deserve said praise in a place full of MCR haters. For your own sake, find that part of yourself that screams 'MCRmy 4 lyfe ermagurrrd I want Gerard Way's dick he's s0 frikkin sexi killj0ys make some noise x0x0x,' and beat it with a stick.

I hope that you are lucky enough to receive a swift recovery before someone starts throwing rocks at you.

Lots more Motionless In White please, they spread such a great message and they deserve way more coverage than what they get. Plus, their music is awesome :)

i am a huge ymas fan since 2005 so i'm not just "another fan girl" and i find it so annoying and outrageous that everyone is slandering them just because they're popular, and they aren't in it nearly enough as BVB and they are ultimately shit. i stopped buying kerrang! for 3 issues because it had turned into BVB weekly so don't take the piss out of ymas because they derserve the attention they worked hard to get where they are and for all the people saying "thank god no ymas" fuck off because mcr and greenday ALWAYS find a way to weedle their way into issues and i love them to death but THAT'S annyoing.

Posted by Shay | July 31, 2012 2:09 PM | Reply to this

I like a lot of MCRs music but I hate the fangirls. So I can honestly say amen to that.

Great way to respect people's opinions.
Let me just check who sold out shows between you and YMAS... Ohh, well they did.
If you don't like Kerrang featuring You Me At Six, email them, don't troll here.

Posted by Carly | August 7, 2012 7:31 PM | Reply to this

My chem whe amazing before the black parade... Since that album they've become more mainstream and their music seems to be styled to fit more Indie tastes... I prefer their more dark and comic book styled songs... I hope they eventually return to their older styles because it was different, fast and revenge-fueled. Something i needed through my last years of secondary school.

Posted by chloe | August 14, 2012 12:20 PM | Reply to this

@ Abigail Amber
that was very rude. i started to agree with you in the beginning, but you took your opinion too far. yes, it gets very annoying when girls do that, but you have no right to say most of the things that you have said. you started off talking about how it was annoying and let's say "idiotic", how girls fight that way over MCR. but then you ended your comment with practically telling us MCR fans, to stop saying that Gerard Way is sexy, to stop saying our favourite part of our favourite song, and to stop saying MCRmy for life.. that was very offensive, and what makes you think you can tell us what to do? who ever said your opinion matters? who ever said we have to listen to what is obviously, a very stupid person who doesn't know WTF THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT, such as yourself..? that's correct. no one. so i suggest that you please STFU, when you clearly have no idea what you're talking about.. like really, you have to understand what i'm saying here., you can't just go ahead and say something like that and just get away with it so easily.. so this is my opinion on your comment of your opinion, and i know you may be thinking "what a bitch!" but honestly.. i really, truly, extremely, could not care any less.. I am sorry, but you chose to post the wrong comment, so this is what you get. you are responsible for the hate that you receive. so long.. and goodnight..
