Kerrang! Magazine 01/07/2009

I think you mean Manowar
not Monowar.

Ok people moan about Fall Out Boy and stuff being in your magazine saying I thought it was a metal magazine if they want more metal go buy Metal Hammer but why oh why have Metro Station in so many forms of your company you gave them a rubbish album review and a terrible live review so why do you insist on putting them all over Kerrang on TV, The Magazine and the Web.

just wanna say how much i love this magazine it makes a nice change to know there are more than just random chavs in the worlds the only improvement it can have is maybe a my chemical romance poster pleaasssssssssssssssssss!!!

Thank you very much for featuring The 30STM Summit in the mag! I have just one question, and that is that you took so many pictures that day, and I was wondering if there'd be any way we could get hold of the ones that didn't make the mag!

I've just finished reading this week's issue, and yet again I am annoyed now that I've seen what's coming next week. STOP GIVING US GREEN DAY POSTERS!!
We've had so many in the recent weeks, do we need another?! I do like Green Day but don't you think it's time you got over the obsession and featured some other bands? You're almost featuring them as much as the Gallows. Please K!, let's have some variation!

Manowar in Kerrang? I never thought I'd see those two put together ever again!

The people who are asking for more My Chemical Romance coverage in Kerrang! magazine are ungrateful twats.

i hope more the anything, kerrang, once again you are twisting the words of people. because brand new splitting up = pissed!! ergh

I LUV METRO station finally you have them in there ha XX

I'm rather annoyed at the fact that Steadlür only got two k's for their performance in london. Sure it was a small crowd who sang along, but they're a fairly new band on the scene so give them a break. People need to hear more about them in K! as i think they're a pretty awesome band. At least they had the guts to sing up there.

Wow, Whats happend k!
It used to be all acdc black sabbath Metallica iron madien
What have we come to
Metro station 30 seconds to mars
And to my totally shock i saw avril lavigne on K! tv
Please go back the old times

Not a bad issue but not entirely good, i mean, metro station? and green day - again. stop forcing the larger names at us and maybe look at the more metal bands K! was once known for. Screamo bands could make things interesting, focus on bands like blessthefall or panic!at the disco once again - it'd be nice to have a break from green day and such and such.

Placebo the best!!!

You may hate them but i have Dot Dot Curves album 'Til' The Wheels Fall Off' and it's bloody brilliant, full of good rhythms AND good singin, fuck the haters, DDC are gonna go far, literally, as spanky would say, "Were climbing the music ladder like new kids on the block"

A fool and his money are soon parted, they say.

It's a fact that teeny, tweener, pop-loving, idiot children are the first to spend money on fads, trends and all things considered "cool".

This is why My Chemical Romance merchandise sells so spectacularly.

This is also why they and Metro Station feature so heavilly in Kerrang!.

Kerrang is not just a magazine, it is a business. As such, it must make profit - if a business does not make profit, it fails. That, dear friends, is why Kerrang has to feature "flavour of the month" acts so frequently - so that the fools will part with their money (easilly, no doubt) and Kerrang will cash in and keep running as a business.

Like it or not, those are the times we live in, and this is how capitalism works. Supply and demand people, supply and demand.

The only way to stop this assault on our senses of taste and decency is to let Kerrang know that we are unhappy, know why we are unhappy, and vote with our feet. If everyone who reads Kerrang is sick of pop acts gracing its pages, then e-mail them and start buying Metal Hammer until K! sees the error of its ways and reverts back to being a magazine for punk, rock and metal fans.

brand new breaking up, seriously?
that would be devastating.

i do hope you give them more magazine space, especially with the new album out in the near future. Honestly, for those who may not be familiar with them, give them a listen, or try to see a show; i've never seen a better live act - they're awesome.

i suppose that coverage may be difficult though, given that there are fools like the ones above me, screaming out for MCR posters. And dot dot curve??? do us all a favour and go away.

hello kerrang magazine i am a former reader of your mag from 1995 to early 2001 i bought kerrang most weeks and collected the old ones from years ago including issue number 3 from september 1981
i,ve been a metalhead since 1991 and am dismayed at how bad you have become gone are the good old days when you used to be a heavy rock/metal magazine you now waste time covering shite nu-metal bands and worse emo bands while slagging off proper metal bands i dont listen to stale trends i listen to decent stuf. you could at least have the dignity to stop slagging off manowar and other fantastic power metal bands, i was at hellfest a few weeks ago and i can tell you that most of the bands that played were ace the worst band of the weekend was m manson who was so bad he got booed on i plus many other from scotland made the long trip to hellfest to watch decent bands and get decent merch why do you think over 3000 fans from the uk went to hellfest instead of the crap download festival in all honesty who in right mind is going to pay money to watch limp bizkit fred durst was a twit back in the late 90s and is still a fuckwit now btw do you realise it is because of magazines like you that manowar have reused to play in the uk since 1996 you can keep your emo pish and nu-metal rubbish in my opinion you are a disgrace to heavy metal shame on you for wasting time on stale trends and ignoring the good stuf this is a rant for a good reason your magazine has sucked big time for years best thing you can do is disband also on a final comment did you know that when trivium play onstage they mime they dont sing all those kids have been conned by these silly people just so that you know i will never read kerrang or should i say kerrap ever again because you suck

anyone know who's gonna be the support for green days' u.k tour this year??

"We are the Fallen"... I just don't know what to say, how sad can Ben Moody really get? Evanescence are a fantastic band and the way they phrased this was as if Evanescence have reformed minus Amy Lee. This is untrue, you managed to spare a sentance at the end of the article to mention that Amy Lee made an announcement saying that they are still very much a band, and are making a new album. Basically what's going on here is Ben Moody realised he missed his long lost Evanescence fame and decided that himself and the other previous Evanescence members would form a new band, and the title would be a clear pun. We are the FALLEN! Hello! Fallen? Clearly supposed to hint towards Evanescence's debut album entitled Fallen. Carly Smithson has a great voice, I agree with this, but she lacks the haunting and powerful voice Amy Lee has. I think that Ben Moody and the other members should really get a grip on themselves, form a band that will take the world by surprise. It's pathetic just to try to imitate what has been left behind.
