proud to say that my old band got a 5k review from kerrang back in 1991 and i was a 21 year old newbie..and pretty much stopped reading it after that.

Bon Jovi is a marketing machine.

I personally think NME breaks artists way before they do here in the States. I usually don’t give much cred to reviews, anyway. Just one person’s opinion.

NME will give the best reviews to the bands with the biggest hype around them. I find it pretty un-creative and boring. Yet, at the same time, up and coming bands that get hype here could be pretty useful for A&R.

Back in the day Kerrang was one of the main rags that you wanted your album reviewed in. at the time a writer named John K.was one of the most feared reviewers in the metal scene.when we were signed with RoadRunner.our A&R guy called us worried what John K. would say about us.in that day a reviewer could make a lot of difference in record sales.and remember back in the day rock magazines were the only way to know about new bands.we got 4 K’s out of 5 but John K made sure to tell us what we could do better.with so many ways to hear music these days a music reviewers opinion wouldn’t mean that much.people are going to like what they like no matter what..

Nice job on the K’s lol.

Kerrang reminds me of bands who change their hairstyles lifted from scenes from album to album.
