@stu they print what's most popular at the moment. it's not cool to hate on other bands when last year they printed the same band every week for a month.. deal with it.

@james & @sam wilde

There might be 8 other posters, and they might be popular, but they have both Paramore and You Me At Whatever for the past 3 weeks, and it is slightly irritating to be honest!

Posted by stu | September 19, 2012 1:04 PM | Reply to this

You Me At Six appear three times in this issue, bloody three!

I guess the Josh-O-Meter & the weekly article in every issue just isn't enough is it K?

It goes beyond whether your readers like metal or pop punk anymore, everybody is getting sick of the same bands on repeat issue after issue.

Do YM@6 have a new record out? No, well why are they in there, there is no relevant news concerning the band at all. Give the pages to bands that are releasing new records & could use an interview to tell the readers about it. You are a "rock" magazine after all, I use the term very loosely though.

Sort it out K! another Kerrap issue with a massive, pointless filler of a main article that could've been a decent interview with an upcoming band.

I'm a big fan of paramore & I think you me at six are alright but even I have to admit that this paramore, you me at six thing in every issue is getting rather boring.

I Really love Kerrang but putting paramore posters in every issue is getting kind of irritating. no offence it just is fustrating me a little. i think MCR should be in it more like postersand stuff because I LOVE THEM and there not in it alot...

Posted by Chloe | September 21, 2012 8:13 PM | Reply to this

I think because R+L has just finished and it was the long awaited return for paramore to come back to the UK and because of paramore's 2 shows before R+L is probably why they are in there as they are quite talked about recently and because of their performance at R+L.

@ymashayma Shut the fuck up, You Me Eat Shit are SHIT, over-rated, and Josh Fran-what-the-fuck is a first class over-rated, egotistical cunt!

@ymashayma

You know fuck all about music if you are obsessed with that Francuntface shit!

He is an over-rated, egotistical, under-talented, over-exposed cunt!

@stu crawl back into your jelous whole. i know alot about music. just because they're not screaming their fucking lungs into the mic doesn't mean they dont deserve to be in the mag. josh is not egotistical and he's not under talented you're just a whore bag with nothing better to do than slate a really good band that has worked hard for everything they got. watch bite my tongue and then talk to me.

@ymashayma

You know fuck all about music, if you think that that cunt or that pop group are "talented" !!

Grow up!

And also @ymashayma

It's hole, not whole! Typical You Me Eat Shit fan, haha!

Posted by stu | October 2, 2012 6:48 PM | Reply to this

@stu it's a typo get over you life and stop slating a band whenever there in an issue, they have to be good if they've got such a solid fanbase and if you don't like ymas i think you should keep your opinions to yourself, haven't got anything nice to say? don't say anything at all.

@ymashayma

"should keep your opinions to yourself"

Well you're having your irrelevant opinion cos you seem to bum the YMAS shit, so I am having mine, by saying what a lot of other people are thinking, they're SHIT!
