Posted August 12, 200618 yr Muse lead Kerrang nominations 11 August 2006 - 10:32:46 Muse look set to take the Kerrang! Awards by storm after being nominated in five categories including best live band and best British band. The trio also picked up nominations in the best album category for Black Holes and Revelations, and in the best single and best video categories for Supermassive Black Hole. Welsh bands are also well represented with Lostprophets, Funeral for a Friend and Bullet For My Valentine in the best British band category, alongside Hundred Reasons and Fightstar. The nominees were announced at Virgin Megastore on Oxford Street yesterday. Over 140,000 votes were cast in the eight main categories via Kerrang! magazine and website, and on Myspace. The awards ceremony will take place at The Brewery in London on August 24, with a 'Twisted Carnival' theme to celebrate the magazine's 25th birthday.

August 14, 200618 yr I think Muse being put in line for all these awards is going a bit too poppy even for Kerrang! these days... They're a good enough band and they've done an excellent album, but I question whether their newer material remains within Kerrang's Rock/Metal/Alt remit...
August 16, 200618 yr Best British Newcomer Bring Me The Horizon Brigade The Automatic Mendeed Enter Shikari The Blackout The Answer Best International Newcomer Aiden Panic At The Disco The Academy Is... Wolfmother Angels And Airwaves From First To Last Best Single Fall Out Boy - Sugar, We're Going Down Bullet For My Valentine - Tears Don't Fall Muse - Supermassive Black Hole Trivium - Dying In Your Arms Lostprophets - Rooftops Placebo - Infra Red Best Album Fall Out Boy - From Under The Cork Tree Taking Back Sunday - Louder Now Muse - Black Holes And Revelations Lostprophets - Liberation Transmission Bullet For My Valentine - The Poison Best Live Band Muse Bullet For My Valentine Trivium Mastodon Dragonforce Best British Band Muse Lostprophets Bullet For My Valentine Hundred Reasons Fightstar Funeral For A Friend Best Band On The Planet My Chemical Romance Fall Out Boy Trivium Avenged Sevenfold HIM Lacuna Coil The best band on the planet category amused me greatly.
August 16, 200618 yr Hmmm, Lacuna Coil, Trivium, Mastodon and Dragonforce.... ...Well, at least Kerrang have some things in this list that is actually Metal (with HIM and Avenged Sevenfold being borderline).... I suppose Slayer's absolutely MAGNIFICENT new album was released a bit too late for them to be considered.... Mind you, like Kerry, Tom, Jeff and Dave will give a fukk what Kerrang would think anyway, they know they are the best Metal band on the planet and hardly need it to be confirmed by a bunch of know-nothing pu$$y hacks.... "The Best Band on the Planet" award should be a two-horse race between Trivium and Lacuna Coil, seeing as the likes of Slayer, In Flames and Ministry have been criminally left off the list... <_<
August 16, 200618 yr she had cancer :( back on topic, i don't really like muse, something about them that puts me off. Ups sorry, wondered why I missed that :blink: I like Muse now and then, just some of their songs get a little too whiney-screamy, then its annoying. But I love songs like Plug in Baby :)

But I love songs like Plug in Baby :) Odd, you dont like Muse that much cos they're a little too 'whiney and screamy' and then you say "Plug In Baby" is one of your faves, which basically ends with Matt Bellamy screeching his bollocks off for about a minute or so..... :lol: :lol: It's got a killer guitar riff.....

And agreed about Kerrap! they are know-nothing ***** hacks, metal hammer is way better. Kerrap just seem to lick the arse the newest "in" band, i.e. Greenday, MCR, A7x, etc etc. Metal hammer did a brilliant (but not totally accurate) section on the best 200 albums of the past 20 years and Slayer got number 1 with "Reign in Blood". And so they should of ^_^

And so they should of ^_^ I've not got it yet, but have heard it, it is magnificent, best thing they've done since "Seasons of the Abyss" easily, and I'd put it up there alongside classic Slayer stuff like "South of Heaven" and "Reign In Blood". Getting Dave Lombardo back was the best thing they could have done, he really does make a difference.... It's the real Slayer back again, and they seriously mean business.... Cant wait to see them in November....

Yeah, it's the classic line up has done their greatest albums (deon't get me wrong i like the other albums without Dave as well). i was going to see them at Leeds next week but the tickets are too expensive :( so hopefully the Birmingham NEC it is

August 18, 200618 yr Oh yeah, I mean, the Dave-less albums are all pretty solid (especially "God Hates Us All"), but with Dave Slayer are something special.... Absolutley, but then again i actually think the worst albums were done with Dave aswell, i just can't get into "Show No Mercy" or "Hell Awaits" like i could with Reign in Blood or Seasons in the Abyss.
August 19, 200618 yr Absolutley, but then again i actually think the worst albums were done with Dave aswell, i just can't get into "Show No Mercy" or "Hell Awaits" like i could with Reign in Blood or Seasons in the Abyss. Well, to be fair to these albums, they 1) were not terribly well produced in the first place, and 2)they were trying to find their feet as a band and find their own sound... They got it emphatically RIGHT in every way when they did "Reign In Blood", the production, the sound, the absolute focussed aggression and ferocity that was needed... And the fact that they weren't afraid to do a short album (RiB only lasts about 30 mins, but of course these days you have to put up with the "special editions" that have two or three rather pointless 'bonus tracks'.... <_< ) helped massively in finding their focus...

Yeah i give you the badly produced but finding their feet in 2 albums? Metallica, Megadeth and Anthrax did it in 1 album (or less). Kerry said that if they took all the reverb and $h!t out of Tom's vocals on Hell Awaits then it could of been a good album as well, which i agree with, Tom's voice sounds terrible. The only special edition of RiB i know of is the one with Agressive Perfector (whic they wrote to porve they were faster and heavier than Metallica :lol: ) and Criminally Insane remix which i don't mind as Agressive Perector is possibly my faveourite Slayer song.
August 22, 200618 yr I think Muse and The Automatic are good bands but I was a bit shocked when I had heard that Muse and The Automatic had been nominated for awards at Kerrang as I didn't really think they were heavy metal/emo/punk enough.

When I was reading Kerrang! in the 80s and early 90s it was actually a proper Heavy Metal/Hard Rock magazine and having bands like Muse and the sodding Automatic featured in their pages would've been about as likely as them doing articles on The Smiths or New Order back in these days. Kerrang! might think that they're being oh-so-eclectic these days by seeming to cover just about everything from Muse to Morbid Angel, but frankly it just shows that they have absolutely no focussed editorial policy these days.... And I agree with John's sentiments....
