Kerrang! is literally the biggest joke ever. Prick-Tees do a rather nice 'Kerrap! (life is lame)' shirt which parodies their logo. The really sad thing is how Metal Hammer desperately, desperately wants to be Kerrang! monthly. It's now at least 90% OMGZ POISON THE AUTUMN FUNERAL BULLET FOR MY CHEMICAL VALENTINE wrapped around a hideously out of place core of genuine heavy music journalism. Their 'top 50 metal guitarists of all time' list (which included the guitarist of LIMP FUCKING BIZKIT) was so, so, so awful I almost cried with impotent rage.
I do have to admit that, of all the current bands trying to be the nex bad 1980's, the Arctic Monkeys are one of the more tolerable. But that's all I'll admit. There's this girl at my school who's obsessed with them. She's terribly nice, but it's cripplingly obvious she really WANTS to be a trendy hipster, but she's never met another one so no-one's told her NME isn't gospel. It's kinda sad.
Kai:
That little story actually made me do the kind of half hearted pity moan.
The Mighty Mopdecai:
OMGZ POISON THE AUTUMN FUNERAL BULLET FOR MY CHEMICAL VALENTINE. That's the funniest thing I ever read espically as I'm listening to Funeral at the moment. Kerrang has no identity any more its like a metal smash hits seriously man my brother is obcessed with pop culture and I remember him leaving a WH Smith once and asked a girl who bought TV Hits which is even worse why she bought it and the reason was the posters. Kerrang now has posters every issue I rest my case.
I remember interviewing my favourite band Brigade about it they got the One to watch in Kerrang. They weren't that stoked about it. Hang on (Goes and listens to interview) No not that big a deal. They like Rocksound magazine and so do I.
Interestly I'm going to see Fightstar in a weeks time and I might get an interview with them - since that band is looking for approval from the REAL rock fans should I make a question up about this.
Gryff:
Yeah, don't get me wrong - there are plenty of bands I would much less like to see selling all those albums and getting so much success. The Arctic Monkeys just don't particularly do it for me.
By the way, Arctic Monkeys is a really dumb name for a band.
