love/hate?(please read this comment)

HATE!! this is what I've posted on the daily mail web-site hopefully it will be on there:I'm Amazed at the stupidity of some people, being a My Chemical Romance,Good Charlotte and Blink 182 fan myself I listen to their songs almost 24/7 but what parents don't understand is that songs of the newer age have deeper meanings then what they mention e.g Vampires will never hurt you(My Chemical Romance)is all about never let the girl you love (or someone else) being as dead as the society...Cemetery Drive(My Chemical Romance) is all about a close friend of Gerard Way's dying and grieving because of her death!So Idiotic parents you have nothing/no one to blame but your twisted children and anyway with the fan-base that My Chemical Romance have why aren't
kids killing themselves everyday!!? So just think before you even speak.

why

The problem isn't MCR OR emo... the problem is the media sensationalising it. The MEDIA glamourises death and tells kids that this is what they have to do to get attention. Emo is just their scapegoat so they don't have to own up to the fact it's their fault. What we need is the papers to realise and publish something TRUE about emo so kids don't just think they have to cut themselves and everything to fit in. They also need to stop going into detail about how to do it. If a kid's feeling depressed the worst thing you can do is give them ideas of how to kill themselves. MCR have done nothing but save lives and it's time the media realised that and left both MCR and emo alone.

mcr and emo thing.

k
i'm a fan of mcr and everything. well im a fan of most bands like machine head but thats not the point. the point is why the fuck is this emo thing going on.....again.
It is getting a bit too old now. Is lfe really that boring that the papers have to re-write their articles to get people to read them or are they just bored as hell and decide "oh ok ermmm. I know lets have a go at emo again - that was fun" well it wasn't fun because aload of peole got picked on because of it, including myself. And i'm not even frikin emo! thing is all this sterotyping is getting abit childish. as long as your a good person who cares what you like.
and as for mcr - well lets just say thanks to them, i'm never tuching alcohol again =] ta boys xxx

mcr and emo thing.

omg i totally agree! they need to back off the whole emo thing. people say i'm emo and i probably am but i'm not suicidal and i won't ever be. i don't believe in stereotypes, everyone is individual and just because you like a certain music and certain clothing doesn't mean you have to fit the stereotype. people only go suidcidal if they are really really depressed and even then normally they would go for help. having all the fuss based around the stereotype, if anything, makes people more depressed as it creates bullying and barriers between people. i hate it, we are all equal.
mcr are amazing and i have great respect for them all. all of them have been through so much shit and still carry on with life. if that doesnt send out a good message of hope then i dont know what does.
i have really stong veiws on this and have done for a while but reading the article has made me want to make my veiws public. thanks for the motivation kerrang!

Kids In Glass Houses on the cover?

Can't you put KIGH on the cover soon? Just because they're not superbig it doesn't mean that they doesn't deserve it, and they are releasing their DEBUT ALBUM in the end of may. We want KIGH on the cover!

But thanks for the stuff in this mag, it's great! But KIGH on the cover thanks!

BRIGADE IN K!

Yeah, I'll be buying this issue because Brigade are in it. But if you do interview them again which I hope you will do all of us a favour (the fans and the guys) and DONT mention Charlie Simpson. Just because they are brothers dosen't mean Will has to hear about Charlie everytime he is interviewed! Thanks.

hmm wtf?

Kerrang started off for metal and stuff like iron maiden and metalica and machine head... why do you put all this 'vanity-rock'... in front of legendary bands like children of bodom?
or is are the vain " R o c k e r s " just to pull in little 13-15 year old girls?

Vanity Rock like um@6 and Fob are crap... why do they deserve pride over bands like Darkest Hour.... or Refused? bet not many people heard of them... they're better than all that poser shit...

stop this fucking stereo typing too... Emo isnt even a word, its just short for discrimination if you think about it...
