Kerrang! Magazine 05/08/2009

Seen this band a number of times , they are in this months Mag, if you never heard of them i suggest you check them out !!

"Your Votes Are In"
This will be... intresting.
Let me guess, BMTH or Metro Station will be number one.
Or just an overly predictable Slipknot to please everyone.

hope its back to the style of their first two albums rather than the mainstrem pop shite that was liberation transmission! foul album

An interesting list. The worst Alkaline Trio album, the worst Limp Bizkit album, the worst Dillinger Escape Plan album and a plethora of radio-friendly, mainstream pop shit from the likes of Green Day and MCR. Scott Ian of Anthrax once described old-school 80s metallers as 'the first generation of rock fans to be crazier than our kids'. Judging by this list, he was absolutely spot on. No mention of Ulver's 'Perdition City', Electric Wizard's 'Dopethrone' or Napalm Death's 'Enemy of the Music Business'. Give it five more years and if your present body of readers haven't already moved on to another 'scene' as they are prone to do, I'm sure some shit like Metro Station will be topping this list. God help the metal world.

...was shit lol, there were some decent albums but overall that list said to me:

1. the british youth culture have a lack of appreciation for british bands (not bmth and all that shit of course :p)
2. it was bloody predictable

i wonder if the votes actually are counted, everyone seems to complain, 'get lost in the post' kerrang?

the new losprophets album is gonna b awesome! i cant wait

went to 4 diff shops 2day, NON of wich had kerrang! wtf is up with tht, 2 of them r wher i normely get it.

but no!, i want to reed this. i want to no bawt it..

arghhh. plz get stoks in the south west.
Xo.

The list is crap, but i love where muse came :) Muse are like the best :) but MCR? Bloody hell.

I cannot believe that not one Iron Maiden album from 2000 onwards got in there. they are legends, and personally I do not think that Muse, MCR and Green Day should have been that high up.

I think Green Day's 'American Idiot' and My Chemical Romance's 'The black parade' deserve a mention on that list. As those albums had good concept's. They were unique. Had their own style. Even if u didn't understand it.

Even if u didn't understand it. But please....do not put that crappy Metrostation on the list. As they sound very manufactured, and boybandish. They sound like teen pop. Steps any1? How about A1? Jk. Heh heh.

I don't think the list is THAT awful. I mean sure, it would have been nice to see some less well known bands like Celldweller or D'espairsRay, feels a little like the "Bestsellers of rock / metal albums of the 00s" list, but it could have been much worse.

As much as people moan, I was glad to see P!ATD's debut on there, I was a lil dissapointed Nine Inch Nails JUST about missed out on the top 20 (and they have made better albums than With_Teeth this decade...).

But at least MetroStation where not on there *shudders in disgust at the very thought* Oh, and Glassjaw + Alexisonfire deserved higher slots than Paramore & Limp Bizkit.

How predictable.. Why are Green Day so... liked? I understand, even though i don't agree with it, that American Idiot was a best selling album, and it had many fans, incl. me, when i was 8. Which should show something about that album.. All these Kerrang! readers complain whenever they see anything about Paramore or MCR but then they go and vote for that damn pop album...

No New Found Glory? How can Panic! At The Disco be on the list, but not one of the pioneers of pop punk? Panic!'s album (and everything the do) is mediocre... And i'm not being a dumb closed minded person, i accept that their music is attractive to people and i can understand why...


Riot! shouldn't have been on that list... I love Paramore, but if any Paramore album should be on it shoulda been All We Know Is Falling, which was a lot more rocky...


What about...
Napalm Death,
H20,
Madball,
Aiden,
The Ghost Of A Thousand,
and especially, mewithoutYou?
Who are fantastic...

But no, everyone chooses to big up Bullet For My Valentine, Slipknot, and all that shit...
Slipknot did NOT deserve to be on the list so much...
RANT OVER! :)

On The Cover There Is Pantera's "Reinventing The Steel" but inside the mag it isn't in the list. It's bloody stupid!

30 seconds to mars should of been number 1 but they came 4 so thats still good.

Otheres i was glad to see on the list were .....

Panic! At The Disco - A Fever You Can't Sweat Out (my personal favorite)
System Of A Down -Toxicity
Avenged Sevenfold - City of Evil
Bullet For My Valentine - The Poison
Blink 182 - Take Off Your Pants and Jacket
Enter Shikari- Take to the Skies
Weezer - The Green Album
Jimmy Eat World - Bleed American

there was quite a few bands on the list that shouldent of been there but overall i think it was a good list.

:)

mewithoutYou are one of the most talented bands around today. aiden..are not

glad absolution made it so high up
fantastic album

but i find it hard to believe people voted for it over OoS as it is a far better and more inventive and epic album

Yet another KERRANG! "50 Greatest" Countdown dedicated to commercial Pop Rock bullshit

List wasn't as bad as I thought. Sure, American Idiot DID come on top, but hey, Relationship of Command, Crisis, Jane Doe, Origin of Symmetry, Lateralus and Worship and Tribute got in

A better idea would be to do a similar poll with the staff members of Kerrang voting instead

Another idea would be to do a Kerrang Awards where OUR VOTES ACTUALLY FUCKING COUNT

SUP SPECIAL K!! I jsut wanted to join in on the massive Metro Station debate, i bloody love them tbh and yeah it annoys me when people say there crap but im SO SO pleased you put them in your magazine because no body else does and they deserve to be somewhere. I just wish people that didnt like them would stop spending there time complianing when they could just ignore it and move onto looking for the next best band.
SO THANK YOU SO MUCH! and BTW on the Shaun White advertisement you put two Marylin Manson K! covers on it MADE ME GIGGLE!
xxx

I read it and I mean, My Chemical Romance are good and everything but why do people make them the centre of their lives, they were number 5!!! And no sign of The Used, AC/DC, The Offspring and Red Hot Chili Peppers, which sucked majorly hard. Not too bad that American Idiot was number one, there was no doubt they were gonna win, Kerrang is obsesed with them and MCR.

Great to see Brent featured, will defo pick this up!

Avenged Sevenfold had been with the 27th position, but in my opinion, they deserved a better position.....is my opinion course...

in front page kerrang! I can see heartagram (by HIM) so maybe u know what about HIM is in this magazine??? please write me somethin´ :)

The list wasn't that bad at all;
it was a good mix of mainstream and non mainstream.

It's a shame Billy Talent weren't anywhere on the list for any of their albums,and I think suicide season should have been on.

But pretty happy American idiot won;
I probably wouldn't be on this website if I hadn't listened to american idiot x)

I wish people would just get over the fact that Metro Station occasionally pop up in Kerrang! This week someone has complained that they've been put on this years album. Why don't you find something else to complain about that people aren't sick of reading about. I've lost count of the number of people who have written about Metro Station being in the magazine. I don't know if you've noticed but stuff like the Prodigy is in all the time, I'd hardly call them rock anymore would you?

Where the fuck were IRON MAIDEN???

I'm in this weeks, the comment on Avenged Sevenfold, I think its page 37 can't remember though. :)

awesome band and they are back :)
cant wait for the album
the betrayed
good title lol :)

GREENDAY?!
GRREEEENNNNNDDDAAAAYYYY!!!!!!!!????????????

WHAT THE FUCK?

i almost died.

The Retox supporting Glen Matlock
The Water Rats, Kings Cross
Monday 3rd August 2009

"Finally, Summer 2009 saw the return of Guildford's finest four, The Retox. A band that has had the potential and dedicated fan base from day one. And they just get better and better.
On Monday London’s Water Rats had the privilege of our local heroes gracing their stage in support of Glen Matlock. A legend in his own right, but the general feeling that night was that The Retox were the real stars and without doubt, stole the show. With only 30 minutes to show London what they're made of, they exceeded expectations just after the first song.
Playing old favourites like Taste the Witches and Empty To Me got the crowd thirsty for more. With their hard rock sound, The Retox consistently owned the stage. They are a band that always pumps out pure adrenaline whenever they play live, and The Water Rats was no exception. What is great about them is they manage to get members of the crowd rocking out who have never heard of them before.
As each song finished and a new one started, the crowd grew bigger whilst moving nearer and nearer towards the stage. Proof that the band were enticing the crowd in with their funk rock sound. For a local band from Guildford, their stage presence is spellbinding. These guys were born for rock'n' roll!
The chemistry between all four members is unquestionable when they are playing. It is clear from down in the crowd that the guys feed off of each other’s passion and that’s what the fans love.
With news and no surprise that the Water Rats have demanded they return again and again, The Retox have definitely proved their worth to London. This is only the beginning of bigger and better things to come in the land of The Retox."

Hope you all like my review, this band is awesome. chk em out on myspace!!

Vicky Star xx

there are many things wrong with this list, however i didn't think it was too bad til i saw the fact that not one foo fighters album made it in! come on!!!!!!!!!!!!true their very best album was made in 97 (the colour and the shape) but not any of their albums released after 2000?! all of which are pretty damn good,especially in comparison to some of the shite that filtered through....you put in paramore for fucks sake!!!!! a band not worthy of eating the shit off dave grohl's shoes!!!!

Avenged Sevenfold deserved a higher spot ,
thats all i have to say

:)

i was reading this weeks kerrang reviews and it sez on pg 20 to send in your own reviews, well i felt that these guys are just what you need and it seems im not the only one either, here goes...

What a way to start the week Monday night, sex pistols glen matlock and the retox? Its not often a supporting band pulls a bigger crowd then the headliner!!! Not only completely blowing the other support acts off the stage the retox gave it so hard that the crowd became easily board with glen matlocks acoustic mellow dramatic performance.
Their style in sound is just what I needed ,
The bass was funky and I loved how the front man pulled everyone into the lair of the water rats with his overwhelming need to rock the crowd. I left the rats talking and wanting to know who these guys are and chuffed to bits that they were outside giving away free cds.

please can we have a retox interview!!!

I was excited to read the issue - 50 greatest albums of the 20th century. However i almost threw up when i saw that NICKELBACK - ALL THE RIGHT REASONS WAS NOT IN THERE! It is the single greatest album of all time. They made five videoes of the album and there is eight singels of it. It should at least reach the top three.

I hope to see All thr right reasons much higher next time, kerrang.

American fucking Idiot at number one? fuck you and your predictable rag of a magazine. i dont care if people voted - the only people who did vote were probably 13 year old girls who write "i love billie joe" on their maths book. piece of shit. and what the fucks up with the channel? alein ant farm every fucking day.

After searching and searching for a copy of this weeks Kerrang! it warmed my heart to see that 8 years on, people still care enough about System of a down to vote Toxicity the sixth best album of the 21st century. I do agree that its crap that great bands like Maiden and the Chili peppers have been missed off but thanks to everyone who voted for system!

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.

I totally thought that the #1 spot was meant for Avenged Sevenfold.
Metallica, A7X, and Pantera???
Damn, I would have liked to have seen them fight over the #1 spot.
. . .but who would win?

I missed this edition.
Anyone have a link for the full list?

I am endlessly pleased that Kilswitch are included in this list even though I know the only reason they're in is because they've been in the spotlight alot the pat few months. Shame.

Also: Bullets > TBP + Three Cheers.

So agree, more InMe please K!, there new album is out soon, still one of britains best bands and really need the support, superbly techinical band with brilliant lyrics and massive riffs!!!

it just shows what a useless list this is when the blackening by machine head is not on it. probably one of the best albums since master of puppets. its a shame that this used to be a good magazine... thats why i converted to metal hammer!

Where The Fuck is Rob Zombie?

Where The Fuck is KORN???!!!

In the trash where they belong^

Jane Doe should be much much higher. calling bands like Trivium and Avenged Sevenfold important is just absurd.

Wat Wer The 50 Best Albums I Missed The Mag :S
