Limp Bizkit? Again? I Alway's thought that Kerrang! Hated Limp Bizkit! (Not to Mention wishing that their Next Album never hit the Shelves!) Kerrang! are Fucking Sellouts

The 2010/2011 BFMV Album

Bullet For My Valentine (Like Most Young Mainstream Metal Bands at the Moment) are a Pathetic Metallica Rip-Off, But then again You Are All too Brain Dead To Realize That Aren't You.

Mark my Word's This WILL Happen:

1, (Due to Nu Metal's Return) Their Next Album Will have NO Solos, Using the "Jeff Killed John" thing as an Excuse.

2, They will Cite "Limp Bizkit", "hed (P.E.)" and "KoRn" as Influences (Replacing Metallica, Megedeth and Iron Maiden)

Believe Me, This Shit has happened Many Times Before, Take Lostprophets for Example, they Used to be a Nu Metal band (Until it Became Unpopular) now they Make Music for 13 Year Old Emo Assfuckers, BFMV Are nothing Special, they will Do exactly The Same.

Because "Rock" Music Today, is FUCKING GAY

it seems like your dissing welsh bands (well thats what it seems like anyway) bullet for my valentine rock and theyve got a good sound same with lostprophets, i think you need to open your eyes and realise that mettalica are heavier than BFMV so they can't be a rip off .
Mettalica rock by the way ^^

The 2010/2011 BFMV Album

Jeff Killed John's members wanted to follow the nu metal trend set by bands such as Korn and Limp Bizkit — playing what they thought would get them far and what record labels wanted to hear. Bassist Crandle left the band on the eve of entering the recording studio and was replaced by Jason "Jay" James. As nu metal had started to become less popular, the band gave it one final shot by changing their name to Bullet for My Valentine, a name which refers to the "loving lyrical content". A change in music direction was agreed on, and the band played what they wanted to rather than follow the influential bands at the time. - Wikipedia

Wow ur so wrong. Bullet is one of the few bands thats keeping a good metal trend. Clearly you haven't heard their new song they play live for their upcoming 2010 album. It does in fact have a solo. A good one at that. Bullet won't let anyone down. Youll see and you'll feel really stupid.

Posted by shastamania | August 12, 2009 7:23 AM | Reply to this

I think you'll find that MAINSTREAM rock music today is fucking gay. There are still some fucking awesome bands out there who do their own thing and don't follow trends.

Speaking of such acts - Frank Turner. What a fucking legend. Read the review and was stoked to hear he's still brilliant live. Hopefully the songs they mentioned in the review make it on to the set-list for the Glasgow show in October. Can't fucken wait.

On the downside, there was literally not a single other article, review or news item that I was interested in this week. Oh well, not long till the new Rock Sound's out.

this issue looks well shit.
probably the only decent part is 3OH3 and madina lake by the sounds of it.
you should do more like last weeks!
was fucking awesome!
YOU ME AT SIX FTW!!
and paramore!!

3OH!3?

NO! IT'S GAY! I TELL YE, GAAAY!!

Posted by Steven Seagull | July 29, 2009 6:26 PM | Reply to this

shit

completley agree.
YouMeAtSix, Madina Lake, 3OH!3 and paramore are EPIC. They need more of a mention. Especially YMAS, coz at l;eats the other ones get posters and shit,.

3OH!3? Honestly? I don't mind the band, but they're not rock! I had to check twice when I saw them there.

And Paramore..what can one say about Paramore? If you want to read about Paramore, pick up J14.

(I like You Me At Six and kinda like Madina Lake so I won't comment on them.)

Fucking Epic Core!

Hey! Just wanted to write a note saying how fucking AWESOME Ghost on Pegasus Bridge are! I've had the privelage of being able to see them live a fair few times and i can't get enough of them.
Please put more stuff about them in your magazine. They're fucking AMAZING! And should be recommended to every fan of decent music out there!

I'm sorry...

Did I just see a FOUR STAR LIVE REVIEW OF BROKENCYDE?!

Seriously Kerrang, stop being so fucking bipolar. About five of the songs on this 09 compilation (as well as ones that were released in 07) are from albums you gave a ONE STAR REVIEW OF

Seriously Kerrang, this is why I've turned to NME

Eyes Set To Kill :D

I've loved Eyes Set To Kill the moment i heard them on youtube, they're one of those bands that just got in my head and i couldnt rest untill i had their music on my ipod :)

magazine

this weeks magazine is actually quite boring .... i love linkin park interview because linkin park are immense but the rest is quite boring i think there should be more of linkin park, you me at six, fall out boy, paramore and green day..... i love them :)

Posted by Soren 20 | August 1, 2009 9:38 PM | Reply to this

i actually agree you me at six, fall out boy, paramore and green day are amaaazing and need more metioning, i actually love them! :)

Sonisphere were fucking AMAZING at Sonisphere! x

Posted by Robyn | August 2, 2009 2:03 PM | Reply to this

I love getting K! every week but I would love to see more of You Me At Six, We are the Ocean and Escape the Fate they dont get the credit they deserve. There Amazing!!
I was also wandering why there was no mention of Salisbury Takedown in this weeks K! seen as You Me At Six, We Are The Ocean, Attack! Attack! and Out Of Sight were there

Posted by Jade | August 2, 2009 5:47 PM | Reply to this

Funny this diss Metro station for being bad but 3OH!3 are just terrible, Its not rock music of any sort yet they still play it on thier channel and feature them in the mag. Hollywood undead are the Only decent *scremocrunk* band that exist imo. I do agree with some of the statements though about YMAS etc. Also bring me the horizon need some more mentioning imo!

Posted by Sam | August 2, 2009 10:55 PM | Reply to this

My opinion

First of all id like 2 ask you to stop giving me a green day poster every week
2nd of all i hav to tell u on behalf of all of us that if u keep featuring metro station in ur mag u will no longer be able to call urselves the worlds best selling rock magazine and just so u no i only buy ur mag cuz rocksound is only once a month

i meen they feature shit bands but atleast they no if they like sum1 or not and dont sell out when they become popular!
And also there not cheap and they actually give us sumthing to make us feel glad we bought the magazine in the first place
ok my rant is over
keep up the rather shit work kerrang!

The Fact

I don't give a shit, if new bands want to be like older bands.. whatever. Bullet for my valentine are awsome, so is old metallica, Lost prophets.. i didnt know they used to be metal heads, but i doubt bullet would be like them. Just get over the fact that theres more bands coming out, and your not one of them.

Nickelback and Evanescence

Listan Kerrang, they needs to be more nickelback and evanescence posters. Kerrang is my favourote rock mag but the posters are slightly dissapointing. I hope this coment gets taking seriously because many people will agree with me.

Posted by Joe Bailey | August 11, 2009 8:39 PM | Reply to this

the magazine

No offence, but i think there should be more Metallica posters, because they are my most favourite band of all time, and so far i've only had 2 posters out of a kerrang! magazine, i hope this is taken seriously, but if you can't fit any in, don't worry about it. METALLICA ROCK !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Posted by nicole | August 28, 2009 11:38 PM | Reply to this

Kerrang! is my favourite magazine fo all time. Since i can't find any posters in the magazine, i just cut out any pictures that i find in there of Metallica, i now own 20 posters, my bedroom wall is covered in them, but there are a few gaps that need to be filled!!!!!!!
METALLICA ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
