You Me At Six again? It didn't bother me so much until I realised they're on the cover almost every week. It's getting annoying.

If you call paramore, parawhore, then your not really insulting them because the people that like paramore call themselves paramore. By the way, paramore aren't in every issue. They're only in these issues because they've come back to the UK after 2 years. So you're going to see a bit about them in the issues to come. If you think this is bad, wait till early 2013 when their new album comes out. You'll see their faces loads. Don't like it? Stop buying the magazine, or stop complaining. Quite simple really.

Paramore again.... Kerrang, there are other bands out there you know... and whats with the silly "summertime" stories. This magazine has become very kiddy like the last 18 months... what happened to the old days when you had interesting articles??? Now its silly A-Z dictionary, cartoon corner... and either some silly GOTH band pretending to be sad or pop/punk crap on the cover.. Forget Paramore, All Time Low, You Me at Six and all this cheesey 10 year old music and get back to what you use to do well.... PEARL JAM, NIRVANA, AC DC, GUNS N ROSES, METALLICA, FOOS, CHILLI PEPPERS, BLAK FLAG, WEEZER, BLACK SABBATH... you know the bands that actually changed music

Forget Crappymore, You Me at Six, All time Low and all the silly pop punk aimed at 9 year olds.... Forget the silly cartoon pages, Stars silly stories segments (Rock stars at school, in the summertime, first jobs etc etc) and do what u did best 10 year ago.... real articles on real bands that changed music... I mean Guns n Roses, Aerosmith, Metallica, Faith No More, Pearl Jam, Nirvana, Black Sabbath, Black Flag, Fugazi, Weezer, Foos, Chilli Peppers, Led Zepplin... REAL BANDS!!!! Kerrang has been awful for 18 months or so now... it seems to be aimed for 10 year olds

The issues for reviews of Leeds and Reading, surely it only makes sense to feature the bands who actually played? And if you don't like the magazine, stop buying it and find something better to do than just moaning about what you think is wrong with it.

Paramore again? Really they're overrated already
Without putting them in your mag every week,
As for You Me At Six I like their music but
There are more bamds than Paramore or Ym@6.
I' wanna see more stuff like Funeral For a Friend,
They're way better than Paramore,.the only
Reason i'll buy this issue is cause there's a bit of Green Day, and they're awesome

Posted by Brit | August 29, 2012 1:04 PM | Reply to this

YES! I Agree totally with Brit i would Love to see more Funeral For a Friend in Kerrang! ive been reading kerrang for a little over 3 years and ive never had a FFAF Poster... Please Kerrang have more Funeral posters!!

I'm actually sick of all these idiots complaining about what's in the magazine. They're rock bands as well you know. There are also bands I don't like in issues, but do I complain all the time about it? No. Just don't buy the issue if you don't like it.
