Scott Ian loves Fall Out Boy but hates MCR

Anthrax guiatist and Kerrang! Awards 2007 presenter, Scott Ian, confessed in this morning's 'Metro' newspaper that he's a big Fall Out Boy fan.

Speaking to Andrew Williams, Ian said: "Fall Out Boy are going [to the K! Awards] which is cool because I'm friends with them. People might not expect me to like them but I've seen them twice and they put on a great show. If things go south at least I'll have someone on my side."

As for who Ian fancies for a K! Award, his money is clearly on Machine Head for the best album gong: "Their new album is the best metal record for seven years," he says.

As for who actually wins on the night, stay tuned to K! dot com tomorrow.

I wonder if Mikey will stop wearing all those Anthrax tshirts if he reads this (it's doubtful he will but, eh...)

and yeah MCR are poppy if you've only heard the radio friendly songs they release.

it's all good :)

shut up about MCR

all mcr fans think they are amazing.
but the problem is they reckon everyone else should worship them.

you think by airing your MCR-loving opinion on here Scott Ian is going to go "oooh sorry I mean I love them"?

Some angry emos aren't going to change anybody's mind so stop being so pathetic.

"they dont need people giving them greif all the time?"

if theyve got any backbone at all they wont take cr*p from kids

people should be able to say if they dont like a band. we all have to put up with you saying you want to marry gerard, they're the best ever etc etc

Dude or Dude-et...

I totally agree with you, I think Kerrang's gone a bit soft lately, especially with today's Free CD.

hmmm

Both MCR and FOB have recieved radio airplay so surely there both as "pop" as each other? there both uber popular and they both have some crazy defensive fans! and not all MCR fans are emo's either! =]

That's a little odd, considering FOB is WAY more pop than MCR. The only real pop-ish song MCR has, I think, is "Teenagers", and even then it's a stretch. But hey, everyone's entitled to their own opinion.

Scott Ian I salute you

Anthrax's riff master is absolutely correct.

MCR are just over-rated pop shit now, if they stuck to their roots a lot more people would admire them.
