Read above check out ous CD with REAL music!!

Can we please have a bit more variety in Kerrang? If you don't stop it with the Paramore you might as well change your tagline to "Life is Ginger" and be done with it. And I love HIM and MCR as much as the next girl, but they aren't the only bands in the world. As for Muse... let's not even go there, hmm?

how come your covering full ponty and not slam dunk festival, where some actually different bands palyed. i mean even paramore played so im surprised you werent there

Fucking brilliant! Download and Muse both kick ass. :D

However, I agree, less with the emo bands and more with the METAL and sexy ladies like Amy, Cristina and Sharon...

Muse is on the cover! Fuckin amazing They are brilliant!

YES! YES! YES!

YOU /FINALLY/ TAKE A FUCKING INTEREST IN MUSE!!!!

THEY CAN FUCKING BEAT THE SHIT OF MOST OF TODAY'S CURRENT BANDS!!!!

o how my heart ached and breaked over missing download...............................
...DONNINGTON, i cried, WHY HATH YOU FORSAKEN ME?????
then.............................like a handsome prince on a trusty speed came..............................(dahdahdadadadahhh) MUSE AT WEMBLEY!!!!
supported by MY CHEM,dont you know?
and il live happily ever after.
THE END

seriously if people hate kerrang mag so much why go to the effort of typing a message on there site which has no use to anyone,

this weeks mag is awesome and i aint missed an issue for over 3 years and thats the truth

the hayley williams poster is worth £2.10 on its own
...and even though i missed download (which i nearly cried about after havin tickets since they were released) big up the BLACK CRUSADE!!

i was at download it was awsome mcr totaly rocked and proved everyone wrong . when does the magazine come out?

Cannot wait for Higher Voltage - my boys Fightstar doing their thang once again! Legends! =D

i think that ian watkins is well fit but why does he tung ova guys, it pisses me off

Hey ! This week's is gonna be great picking it up on Thurs never makes it to Ireland before then ! But KERRANG! please NEVER do MUSE vs. MCR or else you'll make a huge 20 years lasting fight between me and my sis she's MUSE obsessed and im MCR obsessed so we'd get to the point in the fight where we'll never talk to each other again

Kerrang! doesn't appear to have been stocked in the shops here yet! I can't wait a fucking day to get it! I wanna read the reviews on Download and everything else including the Higher Voltage CD! I will be going back down the road to check the shops again cos I just can't wait! Oh and for all you people up there who can't spell it is Lostprophets you silly fools!

I haven't bought a Kerrap in months, but today I bought one for the Download review. Two questions:

(1) Have you no shame? Whoring MCR like that and making NO MENTION of the fact that they only play for ONE HOUR!!
(2) Did you actually bother going to Dream Theater before you gave them 3 shitty K's?? Absolute disgrace, that's what you are.

Please start reviewing according to strength of performance, not scene emo appeal. If you respected your readers you'd tell them the truth, not print what they want to read.

Were you even at Download this year or are the scores just guesses? They are are so out of wack it's unreal! God knows who you get to do your reviews but they need to be sacked right now, an absolute disgrace! You gave MCR 4k's and Linkin Park 3?! Anyone who was actually there would know what utter crap that is!

I must say your reviews of Donington are varying from good to obscene. Given your close appreciation of MCR (many would say you're kissing their arses but I don't think that) you failed to mention how they only played 64 minutes of a 90 min set.

Your saying that they were 'defiant' and all that? Well to bugger off 30 minutes before they were due to finish doesn't sound very defiant, it just sounds like they couldn't be arsed. Or indeed, they legged it off the stage before the Korn fans came around to give them even more heckling that you claim they are 'defiant' against? I may be wrong on both counts but if there's no clear cut explanation then rumours will fly.

Oh, I have no problem with MCR but come on guys, a bit of reality in your reviews please.

Did you actually have a reporter at the gig, or did you just make it up based on what 14 year old wrist slitters wanted to read?

Well done Kerrang, I'm never buying you're pile of piss again. Was whoever wrote those ridiculous reviews even THERE??!! Honestly, MCR got 4 K's?! They were aweful!! AND they left EARLY? Something you failed to mention!! And Dream Theatre only got 3??!! WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE?! They were one of the best acts of the weekend!! There's plently of other mistakes you've made but seriously, you've lost a reader. I'm sick of your complete sell out to the bands that obviously pay you the most. Fuck you Kerrang, fuck you.

I have seen MCR a couple of times before and know they can sound good live, but Friday was just awful. For some reason he sounded like pinky & perky? very odd. To have only played for 1 hour with no encore was just poor.

My personal highlights were Papa Roach, Velvet Revolver, Megadeath (always good live), Reuben, Stone Sour, Linkin Park and Hayseed Dixie (Breaking the Law on banjos is just genius!). Given the chance again, I'd very happily miss Chimaira, Killswitch (so dull I actually fell asleep) and Wolfmother (dull, dull, dull).

Not every band was gonna please everyone and the mix was pretty good - not sure about the headliners and line up (why were Papa Roach on so early?)

i havnt really read most of this comment thang.. i dont come on here often.. BUT i went to download.. and i am sureeee that most readers of kerrang did to.. sooo a HUGE CROWD POSTER?? like from above.. showing circle pits ETC... it would be greatly apresiated by MOI and i am sure others TBH it would be awesome =]]]]

Dream theater were the best band at Download at the weekend no doubt about it...and Slayer always give a good show. I was impressed with Stone Sour and Killswitch also. Im actually quite glad some emo bands play at the festival as they make great moving targets for practising my throwing technique.

sorry to be blunt but wat posters are in this weeks issue apart from marilyn and stuff. :D

cant wait 2 get this issue and read about the lostprophets at the full ponty coz i was there and it was freakin amazing!!!! Welsh bands rule!!!

good.
a good healthy dose of Paramore.
Even though they gave them 2K!'s and 3K's!
-_-
Im glad to see that letter in FEEDBACK.
lalala.

more Paramore next week!
YAY!

Kerrang! your magazine is the best out there, its cheap and its packed with stuff we want to know. I especially like the free huge mcr posters, if we could have more of those that would be great. The last huge poster you did wa 'Frankie' from MCR, how about one for each member of the band? as there havent really been any in a while.

Weldone to everyone who works at Kerrang!

I just wanted to say how spot-on you were with your review of My Chemical Romance.
My Chem put on an absolutely amazing show at Download and proved that being bottled doesn’t break them, it purely motivates them.
As you said, they have built a career on triumph over adversity, and this was yet another example of how they’re going to carry on creating and performing amazing and unique music – and they are never going to let bottle throwing ‘haters’ bring them down or stand in their way.

That picture of Mark Hunter with the flower in his hair...FUCK ASS SCARY!!!

I saw them live in Liverpool barfly on the 6th...they were fucking AWESOME!!!

But that picture...

Giving me fucking nightmares!

The Bert Mccracken poster should of been the HUGE one but oh no...you have to put Marilyn Manson there dont ya??? Why????? He isnt hot like Bert...='(!!
Other than that...i love the mag!

Download rocked!!!

loved it!!!

cant wait till nt yr!!!

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Dude! muse suck wot is it with matt bellamy he can't sing! Matt heafy rocks dude !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ROCK 4 LIFE

MUSE!!!!!!!!!!!! BEST BAND EVER TO HAVE GRACED US WITH THEIR PRESENCE!!!! 2DAYS!!! I GET TO SEE THEM IN TWO DAYS!!!!

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

WOW! I LOVE THAT PICTURE OF FRANK AND GERARD KISSING ON PAGE 34! IS THERE ANY CHANCE YOU COULD BRING THAT OUT IN A POSTER SOMETIME???? LIKW A MASSIVE ONE???? THAT WOULD BE VERY NICE!!!!!!!!

XXXXXXXXXXX

Ok, why are people so narrow minded?
I can see why people wouldn't like Manson, or Bert, or Muse, etc... but equally, if people do, so what?
Kerrang is a varied mag that caters for all sorts of tastes accross the rock world. It can't get it right ALL THE TIME FOR EVERYONE!
People need to wake up and let other people enjoy their own tastes in music, and be a bit more diverse.
Stop the bitching for putting things you don't like in the mag and start the praise for the things you do.

In future kerrang, if you go to a gig, actually pay attention rather than making a gig review up. Paramore at the underworld. They didnt ask fans to film misery business, the front was packed with blokes, constant crowd surfing by blokes, people having to be pulled out from the front as it was so squashed. A hetic gig, every song delivered with emotion, fantastic performance. What do you have aginst paramore?

yeh paramore are aamzing shes only 17/18.. she has an amazing voice and can play the guitar.. what can gerard do? sing thats it.... she writed awesome lyrics.. they are true to their fans..purely amazing band

I still can't believe you morons gave Dream Theater a trashing in your Download review, and gave no other reason than that their songs are too long. Perhaps you'd like to suggest to them that they produce more radio-friendly pop, so they can play more songs at low-key festival gigs? I mean, seriously, what are you on? Is it their fault for creating the music they want to, or is it LiveNation's for putting them that far down? Or is it neither's fault, and just something that happens at festivals. They played a pretty long set, is it such a crime that they didn't have a break every 3 minutes? I think I should do your reviews for you - I'd do them so much better. But wait, I'd never work for such a shamelessly trend-following pile of refuse as Kerrap. Just as long as you know that the entire music community, with the exception of emos and the occasional scene kid, laughs at you and your pathetic excuse for a magazine.

Hi. Muse are an amazing. Me love them!

Hi. Muse are an amazing. Me love them!

OMFGZORS MCR MCR MCR MCR. This is the only way to get noticed on a Kerrang related article now.
I must agree with Nick (whom I assume is paddys4anarchy DLF) on your trashing of Dream Theater. Do you not see the talent that these men posess?? Certainly any more than Paramore, MCR, or Aiden or anyone else you regularly feature.
And saying that a song is 'too long' is no excuse for a bad review. Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture is 17:00 minutes long. Would you call that a terrible song, or a poor performance??
Dream Theater write songs that are PROGRESSIVE metal. So it doesn't matter how long the song is. I suggest that you listen to Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence by DT and call it a poor piece of music.
Arranging a full orchestra, plus your own parts (multi-layered) and writing vocals on a 42-minute song is not for the feint-hearted.
Down with KERRAP! up with METAL HAMMER!!! DEFENDERS OF THE FAITH.

Shit magazine, shit review. Allows spammers to add comments. Nice going.

Let's all face it, Kerrang is a corporate machine butt fucking children out of their parents cash. Music with attitude?

Bah ha ha ha ha ha - what a load of cunting bollocks.

As said before, no one in music industry outside of impressionable children and scene kids even thinks about Kerrang as a reputable magazine/radio/TV medium.

Mention Kerrang at any festival, along with NME and you shall get a chorus of boo's and other chants.

Music with attitude - please.... my dumps have more attitude than most of the wank you play. Ugly phil - what a fucking cunt.

Bob Bryar posters should be put in kerrang!
Hes waaaay cool!
Cooler than gerard!!^_^
MCR are a good band even though people says thats all people talk about knowadays they are doing well so why not talk about them...a lot!!!

Just read you review of the Download weekend... and what an awesome weekend it was!!

Couple of points...Why was there no mention of MCR playing only 2/3 of their "headline" set, and have you actually ever given them a bad review? Dont tell me its because they're amazing because any knowledgeable music fan knows that they have never been better than an average teeny rock band.

Secondly, Machine Head didnt play "Ten Ton Hammer" at Download, any journalist worth his salt should know that.

Reviews i found spot on were Korn, Dimmu Borgir and Slayer (who i do agree have become a tad boring!)

Thanks,

Rory

What is the deal with your reviews of this years festival?!?! Were you even there?

How the hell are the youth of today ever going to appreciate musicians for their actual musical abilities instead of the way they do their hair or how much eyeliner they can fit around their eyes?!?!

Dream Theater may not be Radio 1 Chart Show material but they are amongst some of the best musicians IN THE WORLD at the moment and you are completely out of your minds to not rate them as 'festival worthy' because they have long songs! Have you ever heard of Progressive Rock? Bands like Pink Floyd? Would you have rated Led Zeppelin this way if John Bonham had ripped out his 30 min drum solo??? NO, I don't think you would.

Same goes for Velvet Revolver. You get all excited every time Axl f'ing Rose turns up with promises of that long-awaited album but when VR put on an amazing show at Download pulling at least 1000 more people that MCR you only give them 2 K's?!

Kerrang staff, you need to get the hell out of this 'emo' rutt you have stuck yourself into and start reviewing real musicians that budding guitarists/drummers/singers/whatever can actually aspire to be!!
GET BACK TO YOUR ROOTS, in the 90's Kerrang was the best magazine around and you damned well know it!.

Thankyou.
x

I can't believe VR got 2 K's! That's just taking the piss, I saw VR the day before in Cardiff and they were incredible, and totally nailed the show, as they did in Download (webcast).
I don't understand why people hate Scott, too. So he isn't Axl Rose - GET OVER IT - he's a better frontman than Axl anyway, so sort your life out Kerrang.
Oh and I wish people would stop going on about Paramore... they're crap.

'"why not talk about them...a lot!!!"

Because I have a digestive system. I like it where it is, not spewed out over the pavement.'

HA. That comment nearly made me vomit with laughter.
Seriously though, they aren't that good. They aren't really plumbing the depths of the human brain for subject matter (WHINGE WHINGE, MY PARENTS WERE SO GOOD TO ME WHINGE WHINGE) and they collectively have the amount of talent I have in my left little finger (and my trills arent that good)

Kerrang! as much as I worship your magazine, I think you are lacking in enough female-fronted metal! More Evanescence, Lacuna Coil and Within Temptation, us females deserve some more credit. Well, at least you've got Paramore.

Well im glad and thankful for the Manson Poster, not so sure about the other two though o.o

The reviews weren't so great, and I agree with a lot of people here, Kerrang sorry but you'r heading for Emo/Scene fantasty world. Snap out of it cause not everyone wants to hear about how MCR or FOB or some band like that has recently claimed themselves emo or split up or put a little too much eyeliner on and forgot to cover up their scars on their wrists.

As for Muse, they are fabulous. One of the best bands around I would say. They have definitely improved over the past years and are becoming from a small band to as well known as people such as Green Day and that.

to be honest, I think your download review is biased AND shit.
Kerrang has now become the worst music magazine around.
congrats

just to add.

Why the fuck did you let lostprophets cover Davidian?

Let freedom reign with a sheep shagging pop band

thank you kerrang i had fun ripping the poasters of bert and manson!! thanx but seriously can you have a MASSIVE poaster of A7X plz i would apreciate it so much and a bullet for my valentine too!!!!! plzplzplz and an old mcr poaster plz plz!!!

Hey Kerrang! Like everyone on here, I will probably have fun ripping the posters of bert and MM but I would appreciate it if u were to put a MASSIVE poster of Jared Leto (30 Seconds To Mars) into ur magazine sometime please please???? And will people stop slagging off emo...that really annoys me!

OOOO YEAH!!

Hayley Williams is the stuff!! We have all agreed that she should have been put on the HUGE side of the poster!! Makes her breats look bigger too lol!!!

How could you rip up Bert?!
That's a sin in my eyes!
Bert's a bloody legend!
Cutting MM in half to get him on my wall was rather satisfying...
And yeah, 30stm poster would be good.
Not just Jared though.
Don't increase the size of his ego by making him appear as being the only member of the bloody band.
Get Tomo in there!

Ooh, could someone settle these rumours for me?
Was Shannon Leto injured at Download?

Overrating MCR on a monthly basis is just suicidal.
