Kerrang awards...

[DFF]

Best Band On The Planet - My Chemical Romance

Best British Band - Lostprophets

Best Live Band - Muse

Best Album - Lostprophets (Liberation Transmission)

Best Single - Bullet For My Valentine (Tears Don't Fall)

Best Video - Fall Out Boy (Sugar, We're Going Down)

Best British Newcomer - Bring Me The Horizon

Best International Newcomer - Aiden

Classic Songwriter - Placebo

Spirit Of Independence - Prodigy

Kerrang! Hall Of Fame - Slayer

Kerrang! Legend - Angus Young (AC/DC)

Whilst I like most of those bands, most should not be anywhere near the ones they won (the My Chemical Romance one is a f*cking joke).

In fact, the only two I don't have issues with are Muse and Angus Young. The rest seem utter balls - even more so than normal.

Those ones are, IMO, especially disgusting. Especially the album one, Aiden & MCR.

[Steeb]

SLAAAAAAAYEEEEEEER!

But yeah, they're bollocks. Especially the love for Liberation Transmission. It's turgid shite.

[DFF]

Heh, if they'd have done the awards a week or so later, then Maiden could've kicked LP's arse with respect to the album one.

It's out on monday, folks! Get a-buyin'!

[Stone Cold]

The Kerrang Awards get worse & worse ever year. It's a joke now.

[Nerf]

I'm the only one that voted for Dragonforce on most then?

[Steeb]

Yes. I voted Coheed for everything, I think. Even the British categories >_>

EDIT: Oh, and if there were any justice in the world, TSoAF would've got best album. But there isn't.

[Summers]

I voted Coheed & Dragonforce for everything.

[Nerf]

Not too bad then.

And you told me you'd gone to bed!

And Summers becomes my new lover.

[Steeb]

I did. But EWB's addictive. I woke up in a cold sweat.

[Nerf]

Get on MSN then.

[Steeb]

No. I will come..er, I mean go to bed in a minute. I swear.

Ummm, on topic, could they really think of no-one better for Songwriter?

[GA!]

Lostprophets got best album and best British band? A music album created by hacks for hacks? Jesus Christ, that album sucked so bad that I deleted it from my PC. And to make things worse, a bunch of black wearing poofs apparently obsessed with vampires to feed the imagination of those cunt Nightmare Before Christmas kids is the best band on the planet. Not a band like Metallica, or Iron Maiden or anyone with music that will actually have significance in five years time. Also Placebo gets the classic songwriter award? Remind me to form a band with the same sound guitars with a few bits of electronica in between so I can win me one of those awards too.

The question is now: which magazine is the worst? NME or Kerrang. I've got to say Kerrang, at least the NME overhypes bands with at least some talent instead of this: "wear your Mum's makeup and share your feelings on a Xanga blog" shit the poofy Kerrang bands encourage.

NME or Kerrang? Tough one...

I'd say NME, because they are too indie oriented for me. Kerrang generally sucks, but at least covers genres I may like to listen to...

[Nerf]

You edited it but left Placebo in?

[Darloboy]

A lot of crap bands on the list, but it's to be expected from an awards ceremony voted for by Kerrang readers. (of which I admittedly used to be one)
