Oh Kerrang, what has become of you :o(

Kerrang is rock not metal. Huge difference.

Metal hammer should rename to Rock Hammer to.

Only mag I keep an eye on is Terrorizer when I am not away in the states for uni.

The Smash Hits of the rock/metal world.
Utter Keeerrrap!
The three magazines I tent to bother with are Terrorizer, Zero Tollerance and Classic Rock.

I want Classic Rocks babies, I dont care if I dont like what they write about, they could write about Franz Ferdinand and I'd lap up every single word. :lol:

I read the whole of Classic rock through, I'm probally never going to be into half of the band that are in it, but it's information.
Kerrang is just a absolute pile of poo. I was watching the Kerrap awards on T.V (I only managed about 15 minutes of it!) and what is it with this long hair and the parting to one side? Fashion in metal is a terrible thing!

Deathvine was good in Kerrang, written by a guy called Don Kaye who knew his underground stuff. I wouldn't wipe my arse with Kerrang now.

Am I the only person who thinks Terrorizer is shit too? It's like pseuds corner in some of the fucking reviews, and they always arselick "experimental" bands. It's a mag for art students with pierced cocks who want to be taken seriously.

Same thing here, I very rarely find more than 3 or 4 articles that I'm really that interested in but its so well written and, as you say, informative that I find myself reading it all the way through every month.

it seems plastic hammer is getting worse and worse too, there was one issue i bought a while back about halford getting back in priest and some power metal stuff, but it was just diabolically crap again after that. as for kerching, i gave up on that years ago lol ive never known them say anything that isnt pure shite

Some good articles here and there but they do worship experimental bands a lot and to much core but I have found out about quite a few good bands through them.

apparently Johnny Doom's show on Kerrang Radio is decent enough for a listen, not that i'm up late enough, too bad we couldn't find the guy at Cryptopsy

by **Thrashface** on Tue Sep 05, 2006 10:59 pm
