BRING ME THE HORIZON
Presented by Bullet For My Valentine


This year's Best British Newcomer category saw seven bands compete. Votes were cast across Kerrang! Magazine and Online, as well as via Myspace.com, who also sponsored the Award. On the night, this award was taken by fast-rising thrash rock band Bring Me The Horizon, who have become very popular very quickly within the Myspace generation. Last year's winners Bullet For My Valentine presented BMTH with their trophy - many will be waiting to see if their career takes the same successful path as Bullet's did.


Comments

I fucking agree with the perosn up there........that was a fix........The Blackout are the clear outright winners of that one.

The automatic should of won :(

BOOO! automatic all the way BMTH look like a bunch of fucking girls!

brigade deserved that :[

That was damn out of order!! The Blackout should have totally taken that!!

NOOOOO WAAAAAAY!!!
The Blackout should of won
they deserved it more than any of them

I'm sorry but the whole hacking of the Kerrang page & only BMTH votes counting? Scam? Much? They should so NOT have won. Fucking farce.

Brigade SO should have won.
They are the only band that deserved to win.


I agree with Lana.

NOOOO WAY....what a fix....THE ANSWER should have won!!!

blackout shudda won
end.of

Whoever should have won it most certainly wasn't BMTH.

What a fucking farce!

I was backing Brigade :[

THE BLACKOUT DESERVED THAT SO MUCH MORE THAN BMTH...BOLLOCKS TO THAT AWARD

the blackout deserved to win that one but well done to BMTH

YYYAAAASSS!!!!!! AIDEN WON THE AWARD FOR BEST INTERNATIONAL NEWCOMERS!!!!!!!! YYYYYAAAASSSS!!!!!!!!!

www.theanswer.ie

If I didn't know any better, I'd say fix.

BRIGADE should've won this! They're the least cocky/scene band on the list!

Although, Enter Shikari and The Blackout'd have made me happy too...

WTF??? the blackout deserve this so much more. !!!!
euggh.

fuck that
they shouldnt have one
it was all a fix

the blackout should have

stop moaning it was voted by the people it was not a fix all the bands are crap anyway

The Blackout are okay... they care a lot more about their hair than their music though.

When Reason Sleeps shit all over The Blackout, compare the Blackout and The Guns and it's obvious who the most talented member of WRS was (sorry if I confused Sean Smith's new found fanclub of underaged kids).

I wouldn't mind if they'd won though.

Enter Shikari should've won, but at least the band that won it are preferable to Bullet for my Fucking Valentine...

www.theanswer.ie

didn't see that coming at all - the Blackout totally deserved that way more than BMTH!

The automatic should of won

the black out can suck my dick!
there shit.
BMTH desreved to win that.
enter shikari are a bunch of pill heads they can suck it to.
BMTH worked hard. im sure if someone hacked and only bmth got votes someone would have noticed?
"oh it must be a coincidence bmth got 100% of the votes"
you fucking idiots!
BMTH are tallented!
dickssss

the black out can suck my dick!
there shit.
BMTH desreved to win that.
enter shikari are a bunch of pill heads they can suck it to.

dickssss.

No honey, you are the idiot.

BMTH TALENTED? AHAHAHAHAAHAHAHHA!
That's the funniest thing I've heard all day! AHAHAHAHAHAA

They fucking suck.

either the blackout or brigade should have won.....
two amazing bands then bmth get it????


whats goin on there? thts messed up!!!!!!!

Should've been Covergirl... but they weren't nominated!
From the nominees, The Blackout or Mendeed!

look people stop bloody moaning that bmth won best british newcomer.All the bands were good on the list.Just stop slagging them off and calling them wankers and over-rated.They havnt done anything to you.

fucking hell. kerrang magazine truly did jump on the band-wagon of "metalcore". i liked bring me the horizon a while back, but i didnt realise how fucking stupid they are. enter shikari should have won by a mile, its more original, better to dance to at gigs and actually has some meaning in the lyrics. ollie sykes admitted bring me the horizon have no meanings to the songs, its just fucking random shit. E.S have been constantly touring for while now, gigging all the time to win fans, not relying on myspace and "cool" hair to win them fans. they actually fucking worked for it. i've seen ALL the bands in this category live except brigade and honestly, bring me the horizon were average. next year i ain't voting. seems like being "scene" is more important than the music these days, as it shows by bmth winning.

-rant over- =]]

wasnt there a mess up with the votes on the website???


brigade so shud have won! the world needs decent music-shame the winners cant provide it!

I also wont bother voting next year - this was quite obviously rigged - I mean, hello? Hacking the kerrang myspace? Is there NO lengths some people wont go to to win? How about just being an honest hard working rock band? Or is that simply not SCENE enough for anyone anymore? Brigade deserved this award so much more. Anyone who knows them or has seen them live would know. At least they are a rock band and not into fashion, fringes and drainpipe trousers! This whole award thing makes me sick! Lost Prophets - best band??? WTF???

bmth won, fucking deal with it<3 and if you think someone else deserved it more, that's fine. but don't come bitching, whining and complaining about it because I highly doubt that it'll help your situations.

haha and yeah, I personally think bmth shoulda won, I love 'em lots.

kpeacee.

Well Erika, THAT totally doesnt make YOU biased then, does it? Numpty! Lets face it, if your band hadn't won, you all would have gone off to some corner and committed mass wrist slashing!

Fix.

Blates a fucking fix.

I agree with Helen.


I'm not going to vote or buy Kerrang anymore.

Fucking wankers.

Erika - shut the fuck up.

WHY THE FUCK DID THE BLACKOUT NOT WIN? BRING ME THE HORIZON SUCK MONKEY NUTS MAN

The Blackout should have won it, THEY WILL BE HUGE!

If not them then it should have been Brigade who are also good :)

I agree, the blackout are fucking awesome live, when i went to see them supporting lostprophets they kicks prophets' ass.

Yeah me too, they really do rock :D, at least the were nominated which shows they are being given some recognition :)

BMTH are a bunch of cheating bastards, I demand a recount. They should have been disqualified for hacking the K myspace.

haha, you people are a bunch of shits! congrats to bmth, they totally fucking deserve it :)

You guys are all such petty idiots. How you think BMTH hacked into the polls themselves is stupid. They are the nicest guys i know and saying they're not talented is stupid, i'll invite everyone of you over and show me you're better. Cheers dicks

saying bmth arent talented is such an ignorant statement. i do not listen to their music but i believe they have talent. if enter shikari are so fucking wonderful why havent they been signed? at the end of the day, stop crying over the internet about it. its a silly award that means nothing except a label someone can slap on them. who the fuck wants to be kerrangs best newcomer anyway?! kerrang editors and writers dont know their arses from their elbows.. the lot of you, get a clue.

yay!!

they're really kickass band

i love their song <3

bmth rocks!

I cant belive how many people are slagging of BMTH. People voted for them and they won, an more so they totally deserve to win. As for the lad who said they should all die, I just want to say there is absolutley no need for comments like that. None of you know the lads and are just upset because your band didn't win.
At the end of the day its about music and wether you like BMTH or not it gives you no right to call them all the names you have been.
It shows how stupid you are to think that a massive company like kerrang would let the voting be fixed, and to think that the band fixed the voting. Beside the fact that they've been in the recording studio for the last two weeks, bmth do not need to rig the voting as they have thousands of fans all over the world.
They're just five lads who love playing music, so accept defeat gracefully and get over it!!!
BMTH RULE and I hope they are massive!!!
And don't even bother having a go at me because it won't make any difference, they won fair and square,
END OF STORY!!
Really proud of you lads well done!!!

oh dear. you guys really need to get over the fact that your favourite band didn't win. i mean, not everyone's gonna like the same band. + i doubt BMTH hacked myspace. don't think they're that desperate tbh. maybe look at how popular they are on myspace...
well done BMTH. =]

+ what Suzanne said.
yep. =]

BLACKOUT SUDDA WON! this was defo a fix....

ENTER SHIKARI I SUPPORTED ALL THE FREAKIN WAY!!!

SEEN Bring Me The Horizon, Brigade, Enter Shikari & The Blackout live and i must say Enter Shikari are something new, theyre not a scene fashion statement as of yet . . . and some of u people might not realise that bring me last october were playing in cornwall to 100 people, 50 of whom walked away cause they thouht they were shit . . .but now . . .its fashionable to like them . . . yes they deserved an award, but also . . . Oli Sykes penis leakin onto myspace, just soon after pete wentz' did i think is a slight publicity stunt to get more votes. Dnt get me wrong, im not dissing bring me, theyre a good band, but i think that in a year no ones gnna b interested in them, wheras enter...now theyre different, give me another band similar to them!? x

at least there are some normal people left.
Its music at the end of the day, they've not been voted for prime minister or to rule the country, they make songs.
Loads of ppl love them and they make alot of ppl happy.
They love their fans and constantly thank them.
Thanks for all you sensible ppl who have backed them up, at least you've got your own opinion and don't just jump on the band wagon of slagging them off!!
You people who have commented about the hacking spend way too much time on the Kerrang website, get a life!

WHERE THE F*** IS METALLICA IN ALL OF THIS!!!!! AND OOH GREAT FALL OUT BOY WON!!!! *that was said sarcastically* I BET PETE WENTZ IS OVER THE MOON!! MORE MEDIA FOR HIM TO HOG!!! THEY SHOULD ROT IN HELL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AND WHAT ABOUT BEST INTERNATIONAL NEW COMER? WHERE WAS LORDI IN THE NOMINATIONS?!!!!???!?! and may i add....HOW DID MCR MANAGE TO WIN BEST BAND ON THE PLANET!?!?!?!?!? THEIR SINGER..gerrard way is it??? HE IS A PRICK!!!!!!!!!!! WHAT IS HAPPENING TO THE WORLD THESE DAYS!?!?!?!?! AT LEAST BULLET AND TRIVIUM WON SOME AND CONGRATS TO ANUGS YOUNG!!!!! A TRUE LEGEND!!!!!!

Yep, I agree - get a life! I'm on this site today coz am very proud of LOSTPROPHETS, saw them at the aftershow - well deserved winners, wish Lee and others could take time to speak on behalf of the band other than Ian (not that it matters), would be nice.Congrats, congrats, congrats...

bring me the horizon won and no other fucker is going to take it away from them coz they fucking rule and they are awsome live good for them

GOD EVERYONE GET OVER IT, THE MIGHTY BRING ME THE HORIZON WON COS THEYRE FUCKING GREAT IT WASNT FIXED AND IT DOESNT MATTER WETHER SOME ONE DESERVED IT MORE THE FACT OF THE MATTER IS BMTH WON BECAUSE THEY ARE BETTER.....

WATTA FIX!!!!!!!!!!!!
THEY SUK
BLACKOUT ROCK

God, how annoying are you ppl!!!!
Just get your heads out of the clouds for a second and think like a normal human being!
Do you really think that kerrang would have let someone fix the awards.......NO. So stop moaning, get over it and get a bloody life!
WELL DONE LADS YOU ARE BRILLIANT, TAKE NO NOTICE OF THE MINORITY FEW IDIOTS, THEY ARE JUST JELOUSE OF YOUR FANTASTIC SUCCESS!!!!

Learn how to spell & I might take you seriously Suzanne.

stop whining and go listen to shite bands like enter shakira.bmth deserved it.

and just lol stop whining.how was it a fix.daft tw@s

Of course Kerrang would let it be fixed, have they been clear & up front about what measures were put in place once they knew the myspace account had been hacked. They must have been stupid in the first place to have used this method for voting as it is becoming so obvious that myspace is not a safe environment.

Regardless of who won on the night, this particular award will always now be tainted as a fix.....

Besides the best new band are The Answer...Long live Rock n' Roll.

Lana, regardless of my spelling what I'm saying is not a load of rubbish about hacking. Enough said.

yeah THE BLACKOUT should have won. really end of.
they are mint.
& the person ^^
the blackout AREN'T all about the hair.
they're lovely people and put on an amazing show.

anyone who's ever seen them live or met them will blates know this.

and all the people slagging them off will end up jumping on teh bandwagon sooner or later.

so bring on next year when the blackout are up there with everyone else !!!


x

BMTH are so overrated they are sellouts anybody but them should have won

why do people feel the need to slag off people just because a band won an award!?
Not one of the bmth fans have slagged your band off, no ones said they are crap so whats the problem?
Every 1 will have forgotten about after weekend anyway.
Well except for those who think they know everything about the kerrang awards and seem to spend their life on this site.
Some people are actually here to say well done to the bands!
Well done bmth, well deserved!

Finally comment to every 1.

BRING ME THE HORIZON WON!

you lot moaning will make no difference what so ever.

Thank you and bye! ;-p

I'm thinking that was a bit of a fix coz you guys?
remember when someone hacked onto the page and it gave all the votes to BMTH???
well they cudda done the same on the kerrang awards website??
BLACKOUT WERE AND STILL ARE THE FAVOURITES

FIX

Blackout should have one.

Well done my boys!!
and for all you idiots that think that they fixed it wtf are you on? i'm the drummers girlfriend, and to say that they don't work hard for what they got is the biggest pile of shit! the majority of you say you've seen them..yeah... cos theyre always playing shows for fans! as if its a fix i mean theyre recording dont you think they have enough on theyre minds than hacking a competition?? and as if a massive company like Kerrang would let that happen you reccon the other winners hacked it?? i doubt it!!
stop whining cos your bands didnt win im sure theyre awesome without an award so whats the big deal? it doesnt mean that theyre any less of a great band cos they didnt win!
stop being so negative and congratulate the winners they really do fucking work hard!

Thb i wasn't backing BMTH but afterward we met them and they were really nice guys.
They didnt expect to win and were just as shocked as all of you.
Give 'em a break.

go on lass! hahahhaha

The Blackout should have won this.
shame
maybe next year they will get something
still BMTH aren't too bad, so congrats anyway xx

What a fucking set up
no one deserves that award more than Brigade
Brigade were robbed

Those guys deserved it
psht
what a fix

slight coinsidence, when i tried to vote the blackout it didnt work and bmth's votes went up.

I went to see Killswitch Engage the other day and these were the support act.
THEY WERE FUCKING SHIT.

FUCK THE FUCKING HELL OFF!!!!

No way should that bastard of a band have won the award!!


Fucking fix!!

Maybe next year there should be an age restriction on who votes.
No under 15 year old's, blatant voters of bmth. All the teenage girls are in love with Oli Sykes.


Haha.
Plus they're absolute bollocks live and oli sykes is the most arrogant wanker i could ever meet :D

All these BMTH fans harping on about it not being a fix are seriously insane. They obviously didn't encounter the problem all the other bands had. If you tried to vote for your own band it automatically registered for BMTH.

Now this was only identified by Kerrang the day before voting ended, and they didn't state that all previous voting would be discounted as you could not guarantee the validity of any previous.

I have no problem with whoever wins a public vote, but this will always smell of a fix.

BMTH !!!!!!!! yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If you really think it was a fix and kerrang didn't do all they could to sort it, shouldn't you get in touch with kerrang rather than slagging off bmth? you don't even now them!
'All these BMTH fans harping on....' at least they are supporting the band they love and not ripping other bands.
Its no ones fault but the people who were runnig the site, take it up with them, but leave the BMTH lads alone, they have done nothing wrong.

fuck yeah! bmth deserve it so fuck all the rest of those shit bands

Fucksake, what a bunch of whiney little fags, BMTH won fair and square. Good on them.

hahah BMTH cannot play their instruments...theyre just posers.

shittest band ever

MENDEED SHOULDA FUCKING WON!!!

I personally would've liked to have seen The Blackout winning, but I wasn't too bothered about it....Until the Kerrang myspace posted a bulletin ADMITTING that their page had been hacked and that the voting poll put on their page was rigged so all votes went to Bring Me The Horizon.
Having said that, I'm not saying it was BMTH that hacked the myspace but to all the people that are determined it wasn't a fix....it those votes were counted as votes for BMTH then it was.
And after I read that bulletin I was praying for ANY of the other bands to win.
They're just another flavour of the week band that'll either get really famous after some serious hard graft, like Funeral for a Friend, or they'll end up back to being nobody by next year's Kerrang awards.
I'm still not a fan tho. Their style of music's really overrated and over-used these days!

x

I do think that The Blackout should have won, and I really think that they are gunna go far, I saw them Live with Lostprophets in Cardiff and they were brilliant! So even though they didnt win, they are still be one of the best bands around!

stop pissing whineing and comment on a band you know.the lads rock,workhard,are self taught musicians,who deserve the award .

I am dissapointed, I wanted The Automatic to win. From what I've heard from BMTH, I'm not too keen. And no ,I'm not slagging them off.

And to the person who said this: HOW DID MCR MANAGE TO WIN BEST BAND ON THE PLANET!?!?!?!?!? THEIR SINGER..gerrard way is it??? HE IS A PRICK!!!!!!!!!!!

I think the award was for "Best Band on The Planet". So they could be the biggest pricks in the world, but I think the music is what matters? And I do not se how he is a prick. He has never done anything Prick-worthy. =]

bmth deserved to win.
i liked them before they were in kerrang and now they are in kerrang, and now they are in kerrang its shit becuase their are loads of people who say they like them even though they havnt heard their music or understand what they are screaming.
CUNTS!

Im sure this was a fix.
For the last few days on here, the voting wasn't working for the blackout.
And, Kerrang! have actually addmited that there myspace was hacked and all the votes were going to BMTH!
The Blackout totally deserved the award, BMTH are a bunch of cockbags.

Well i think BMTH deserved.
I'm behind them all the way.
Well done guys, you deserved it
xx

tbh, i reckon brigade should have won. brigade are great musicians and put songs together wonderfully. brigade have had to go thru all kinds of shit just to get to the status they are today. well in words, Bring me the horizons didn't deserve to win as their popularity as a scene band won it for them and instead brigade who are awesome musicians lost out. well, all i say is that you missed the greatest of opportunities people on not voting for brigade

bmth deserved to win they worked their fuckin backsides off for this award. the blackout are so bad its unbelieveable.

brigade should have won
x

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!! =DDDDDDDDDDD
they deserved it
xoxoxoxoxo

Oh dear god.
What is the world coming to?
The Blackout or The Automatic should have got this.
BMTH are shit.
Talk about haircuts over talent.

Bring Me The Horizon won!, deal with it! and its great to see the heaviest and most brutal band out of all the other nominees won! I hope they get the success and recognition they deserve!

BMTH won and they deserved it , if you think it was a fix think again becuase you all r sore losers and not ! ! S H I T ! !
they r exelent and deserved it all for u can all FUCK OFF and keep ya coments to ya selfs


WELL DONE BMTH!!!!!!!

aww bless em. lovely people. hope they had fun last friday at the barfly =]

well done to BMTH.
they deserved it as much as anyone whether you like the music or not. theyve worked hard.

ive spoken to them and they are over the moon.

oli cried and said it was the happiest day of his life and then asked could he borrow a hankerchief. i didnt have one.

i think they are still probably drunk right about now.

anyway thank you for the people that voted for us.
thank you to the people that hate us.

you both truly inspire.

XXX

I think the automatic should have won their awesome!!! I'd like to say that bring me the fucking horizon was sending us constant bulletins vote for us,vote for us and the blackout but nt as bad tho, the automatic didnt send ONE! bulletin, they need a different voting system def. x

Obviously Brigade should have won.
They're probably the most deserving out of the lot, they've put up with such stick over the years for obvious reasons, and have still managed to get themselves well known, simply through hard work and persistence.

fuckin right
bring me the horizon
get in there :D
nice one
Enter shikari are also prety good

tom.

FUCK YES! A heavy band, I mean a PROPERLY heavy band have won a Kerrang award and it's an awesome one at that. Thank fuck. They totally deserved it, by far the most exciting band Britain has produced in years. Perhaps bands like that winning Kerrang awards will pave the way for heavier bands coming back into the view, and then we can forget the sad wave of shitty bands like Aiden and Panic At the Disco.

A scene band? What the fuck, have you heard their music? It would have most scene kids crying in fear.

fuck that! BRING ME THE HORIZON DESERVE IT! the best fucking band on that contest and so shut the fuck up

right i know everyones shitting on bmth but they deserved it as much as all the others did.
so what that they won
anyone could have
its a fair vote
no scams!

so shut the fuck up!

yes i like bmth but i like enter shikari,the automatic and brigade so i really dont care

and as for the abuse on the bmth myspace
how fucking sad....do you not have a life.

be happy for the guys...they worked for it....obviously theyre the more popular band!

get a grip its some awards not the end of the world

well done bring me the horizon..........thats all i can say.....cant wait to see them now


x

I would have loved to have see Enter Shikari win it, I've been listening to them for ages and they are really unique.

BMTH are okay but in my opinn, shouldhave been ES or The Blackout [Great live by the way]

least when BMTH go back to school in september they will have something to use a a paper weight for their homework!!!

are they actually ol enough to be allowed out on their own???


seems to me more people wanted brigade or the blackout??


and yeah it certainly sounds like there was something dodgy goin on with the votes!!

No, it doesn't. If, at pretty much any time in the last few days, at Kerrang's myspace, you would see that Bring Me the Horizon were (rightly) the dominant force, collecting far many more votes than anybody else.

bmth won.gutted to you lot.sit down and shut the fuck up.

okay so according to what all the haters of bmth are saying these are the new truths.
1- Its a bad thing to be talented when you're young.
2- If a band you don't like won then they must have cheated.
3- Promoting yrself is a bad thing to do.
4- You can sell out before you've even released yr first album
5- If you care about yr appearance you don't care about yr music
6- Winning an award is a surefire sign you can't play an instrument
7- Songs with no real meaning are shit. [Anyone heard smells like teen spirit?]

Also a band can only send you bulletins asking you to vote for them if you have them as a friend, if you dislike them why are they yr friend.
Oh & sorry but bmth are a scene band. every scene kid i've met loves them.
& If yr going to rant about how any band that is more popular than yr favourite is shit & that because of that yr going to stop reading kerrang please do because i don't think kerrang is made for people like you.

oh and can people please realise if a band has done nothing // next to nothing all year or has split up no one is going to nominate them.

ok. so bmth won, some say they desearve it, but personally i dont think they actually do. oli sykes is a self obsessed nob, and if your out in the centre of sheffield on a night out and you come across him, hes the biggest prick to grace this earth. hes so far up his own arse that he wears himself as a fucking hat. and those so called fans are a bunch of 13 year old girls who fancy him cos hes a great big puffter who ponders around town selling his wanky drop dead clothes. id just like to see those little girls faces if they knew what oli actually thinks of the people who buy his clothes. to be honest, he couldnt give a fuck about any of his fans. a few others in the band are really nice lads. but oli is the ring leader. bmth would be a far better band without him to be honest. and just to add. penknife lovelife, another sheffield underground band, are tonnes better. sorry, made my own mistake then, forgot that bmth were wanting to remain and be known as an underground band. well thats gone tits up hasnt it. i believe that the voting was fixed. how many people have seen / heard songs by bmth to the amount of people that have heard anything by the blackout or enter shikari? my point exactly. it wouldnt supprise me if oli sykes has employed someone to hack the voting system.
kerrang shouldve gone on the votes that were posted to them by post and shouldve gone on the voted recieved after they found out about the voting system being hacked. either that or present the award at a later date or totally forget about the award all together for this year. because it has been brought into disrepute. its a fucking joke. ok, you may say the lads of bmth work their bollocks off. obviously not as much as other bands that put all their life into touring, meeting anf greeting fans.
walking past bmth at give it a name in manchester earlier on this year. they wernt there to enjoy theirselves or see any of the great bands that were playing. they were there sat outside the arena near the food stalls just posing, watching people walk past, and can i just say, they wernt even being recognised, even by 12 year old girls walking past in drop dead tee's.
doesnt that tell you something, tell me that something has gone tits up with the voting system.
i would be ashamed to be a member of the other bands up for nomination for the award, id hang my head in shame knowing that ive been beaten by a bunch of pre pubessent tossers.
oh yea, anyone seen the pics of oli sykes and his little penis, and his girlfriend with her ample celulite?! enough to put you off your dinner i tell you.
anyways, rant over. i know the true winner of the award. and that goes to all the great bands that were up for nomination... i repeat 'great' bands. that doesnt include bmth.
cheers.

Biggest pile of cunts ever. supported them a while ago, so far gone up themselves. Enter Shakiri should've got it.

everyone should really shut up about the whole bmth hacking myspace...theyre a fucking great band...they totally deserved to win. and just deal with fact that your favorite band didnt win it, its a an award. WELL DONE BMTH! =]

im glad lost prophets did so well but im a bit confused why green day didnt get anything- theyve been around for years n have continued 2 make the best punk rock music around then when the kerrang awards come along they get forgotten! how do u make that one out? im not sayin its fixed cz i dont think it is- when ppl complain sayin its fixed its cz the band they like did crap! i think ian watkins frm the lost prophets is a lot hotter than charlie simpson frm fightstar. charlie started out his career in a overrated pop band 4 gods sake How can u seriously class him as a rockstar after the busted hype? having girls crying over u and sending "i love u " fanmail n doing cheesy pop magazine interviews for little 12 year old girls to drool over is hardly rock n roll now is it ppl?

I couldn't give a shit if he was "self-obsessed". His band are the best new band in the country right now, and that's why they got the award, deservedly so.

Yessssssssss. :]
It ain't a fix for shit.
Yeah Brigade and Enter Shikari are good, but BMTH are better.
Well done lads
But let me get it across to you. My views are on there music, not the people. As far as I'm concerned they are so stuck up themselves. But yeah ok, I love there music and I wear drop dead clothing. But to be fair Kerrang Awards is a music award, not some personality show.
I just feel sorry for fans like, OMGZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ Oli won he's like THE BEST!!!!!!1111111ONE!!!!!!!11111111!!!!!!
But to be fair, he's not. In my views BMTH are pretty much the best musical talent in this catogory. But it stops there. I think Oli is nothing far from sold out. Not the rest of the band, Oli.
He ain't in it for the music for shit. He probably thinks to himself he is. But he ain't. I still support BMTH and Drop Dead Clothing but nothing else to do with the people in the band
But how the fuck could MCR win best band on planet?
They're complete wank
Oh yeah, Stop calling BMTH scene, they ain't scene for shit
xx

phil my friend,you are a tit.

I know the band pretty well and they come across as arrogant to some of you guys, because their sheepish and still shocked by all the attention they're getting. They still think theyre normal kids, and they get embarssed when people come up to them, hence why they're quiet and come over as ignorant.
Those guys practise every day of the week , they've been going for ages now, playin the worst venues to get where they are now. They got snatched up by an awesome label, because they're talented.
Sort your lives out and stop wasting your time pissing and moaning.
I spend most of my weekends with one of them and he is pretty humbled by it all.
So just give them a break and let them enjoy what they have.

FUCK YES!

Everyone else except Brigade where a bit poop you see!


SCENECORE FUTURE!!!!!

fuck off the blackout are absolutely fucking awful.
they make my ears bleed shit.

bring me the horizon are a bunch of fucking tossers.

i personally think enter shikari deserved to win the award, because ive listened to them for over 2 years and they have finially starting to make something of themselves.

and fuck off was it a fix, im sorry but people will be overpowered by the fringes.

the blackout your just a bunch of emo cunts.

well lets point the finger at MONEY... buying awards is what gets bands there awards...

labels throw money at the magazines, and the most wins...

i dont believe any of the votes counted and was pointless.

i even think that the nominees list was written well before they asked you (THE READERS) who should be nominated...

dont you think its funny how The Automatic, regardless how good they are were even nominated seen as Kerrang have only been featuring over the last 2 months!!!

Dont blame any of the bands for winning its not their fault...

and myspace's being hacked!!! shut up wake up and realise it was all down to money!

what are you kids on about???

BMTH are F**king Brutal! they desurve to win. their live show is amazing!

and whoever said enter shikari are pill heads.. wot the fock?
they are real sound guys... iv spoke to them many a time, and they are always the same. pills? u r a dickhead.

the blackout are gd dnt get me wrong... but really... come on... their live show isnt that gd.


just stop slagging off other bands because ur fav didnt win... how pathetic. all the bands who were up are great... thats the reason they were up.

BMTH won because their fans r loyal and voted for them.

everyone on here is slagging everyone off. apart from BMTH fans who havin said a thing bad.

just shows who are the more mature of the lot!

and what about Flood of Red? i know those guys personally and they are some of the soundest and funny guys you will ever meet.

BMTH won because their fans r loyal and voted for them.

BMTH must be laughing their heads off - if they were crap they would not have so many bitter, envious people out there. Talent always creates envy in the less able.
Well done BMTH - those who know and love you and your music also know what great guys you are and how hard you work.
Oh and if those saddos out there with nothing better to do want to have a go at me, please do - I like a laugh too - will also let you know the name of a good psychiatrist.

In terms of music, yeah thats right, music, all of the bands mentioned above are pretty shite. When you start listening to bands who actually aren't writing pop songs with the little addition of a effects pedal and over production on their studio albums so it can satisify your needs for easily accessable music for a growing dumber generation, then maybe your comments might warrant reconition.

Go and discover some music that isn't fashionable shite. Best band in the world award is a fucking embaressment considering the cheese on toast factor involved.

I wouldn't bother speaking about maturity on this site as this music isn't mature to start with.

big love timdavetim

Enter shikari should've won. But we all have are opinions i suppose.
The automatic are great too.
Brigade are quite good, seen them once, seeing them again in october with INME.

But on the list of nominees BMTH were my least favourite i don't like the way they gain the attention because they are like every other emo/hardcore/rock band out there right now. Not that i don't like some of these new emo bands but come on Enter shikari incorpirate Trance into they're music, now thats unique.

fucking get over it they deserved to win, all them bands are great...... but come on, they well had it from the start.... they rock!!!!!!

yey, they are a lil over rated but they diserved to win ^_^

'haha, you people are a bunch of shits! congrats to bmth, they totally fucking deserve it :)'


Yeh i agree with this one!
They won fair n square!!!
So stop your cryin!

Bell ends!
xx

i agree:yay.

yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
fuckin awesum like :D!!
awesum band
awesum guys really nice :D!
xxxxwoooohoo

all the winers shut the fuck up for once it was either bmth that won or enter shikari but wtf all u moaners all the other options were faggot bands neway

WELL DONE BMTH YOU GUYS DESERVED IT!!!!

also u lot callin bmth sellouts look how popular they are an they havent even released a album yet god i agree the blackout are good and so are brigade but at the end of the day it was bmth i dont kno if it was a fix but they got it and u cant change that but if i could no one shud of won if these guys couldnt of jus get over it

Its fine guys..one of them is hot as hell! And he has good hair :D.

so yay!

who cares if the are obbessed with themselves? If your a fan of theirs and they have good music does it really matter? Its not like their going to be your bestfriend or something. They don't make music so they can be friends with all these people. They make music because they like too. Plus you wouldn't give two cents to even meet any band if they weren't famous. Do you listen to bands music because you believe they are nice people? Or because you think they'll love you as much as you love them? Because they must be nice people? No, you listen because the band has good music. You shouldn't hate a band because they are full of themselves. Yeah its stupid if they are but still you listened to their music before you ever met them and then when you suddenly meet them they are full of themselves you hate them. Their music automatically sucks now. Shut up. If you really have a problem with a concieted band. Go listen to some emo music and cry in a corner about how your once favorite band is concieted and doesn't want to be your bestfriend or isn't completely obessed over you like you are over them.

god rite!
makes you fxcking proud to be from rotherham...
BRING ME THE *FxCKING* HORIZON!

bring on the world!
thy horror grows near...watch out for em!

personally i think mendeed should have won! the rest of those bands arent exactly the best! im not slaggin them off, criticism is good!

YELLOWCARD LYRICS

"Avondale"

If you're gonna rip my heart out
Could you use a knife that's dull
And rust in color
Once I die
There will be no way that you can cover
That scar. It's hard, I know.
And if I get a little blood on, you
Finally the world will know you're guilty
Know you're wrong
Of taking everything you're gotten from me
No heart. It's hard, I know.

Mighty King of Avondale
I just can't let this go
Real life ain't no fairytale
I just thought you should know

And when you're finished with the surgery, I
Really hope that you will turn to me, and
Tell me all about the fun you had
When you were cuttin up
You were cuttin up

Living like a fairytale
The Mighty King of Avondale
It all went to his head, this royalty
I stuck a knife into his back
Inventiveness is what I lack
He's always hanging up on loyalty

BMTH Deserve It
Amazing Bandd

Why dont you all expand your little minds by going to listen to some 'acid mothers temple' then contemplate the headache afterwards.

Failing that go listen 'rights of spring' as you may like it.

The automatic r the onli band who deserve that. the rest shud go n suck tit

Wow... This Mag Has Ttly Gone Down Hill. Seriously ENTER SHIKARI!!! I Mean Come On... THERE FUCKING ORIGINAL!!! Although I Am Supprised It Wasn't Rigged So Green Day Could Win It... I'm Sure They'd Discover Some Link To Them Bieng New & British!!!

Insults don't warrant as an opinion

shut the fuck up all of you,
this was a fucking vote and the majority voted for BMTH,

[<3]

bmth rock. they definately deserved to win

what the hell are you girls talking about, bring me deserrved that fair and square they got the most votes i saw on the myspace voting site. they are learly the best out of that catergery, your a bunch of posers!

architects for next year.

^ shut up.

Bmth didnt deserve to win, but they did so stop whinning.
Just make sure you vote twice as much next year for the band who you want too win.

Not BMTH fault they have lots of Scene fans, who like there looks not there music.


Fuck of nOoB you fucking tosser. Go and grow up.

Can I just say something? You fuckers are moaning about BMTH winning and not say, The Blackout? BMTH Have fans, clearly more than The Blackout, that could be fucking arsed to vote. I like BMTH for their music not cause 'Oli is saw fawking hot lyke', as do alot of other people. Stop fucking moaning and deal with it.

I said good for them, at BMTh. They desevred it [:

anyone wishes to bitch/moan.whinge at me for that, feel free to do so.
I'll just laugh in your face.

indie kids piss me off! shikari are shit ,they dnt play a synth live and i hope 1 gig it breaks so we see how shit they really are,the automatic are fucking jokes,bmth arent gr8 either tbf
vote eternal lord!!

anyone got out nice to say?

Hahaha it's amazing how annoyed people get over all of this.
It's an award for fuck sake! Yeah I'm a fan of BMTH. But I like Brigade too.
BMTH deserve this recognition.
So do all the other bands, and they'll definately get it, just for being nominated!
I don't understand why there's this need for slagging off all the bands, they were all obviously nominated in this category because you people like them.
Say what you want about them though, because to be honest, do you really think they're going to find your comment on here, track you down and say, "hey, thanks for slagging my band off! I think we're just going to quit music now because of you!". No? Didn't think so.
Really, you people need to get yourselves some chill pills.

YAY BMTH WON:) they deserved it and whoever says the didnt need to stfu! haha and if u have aproblem with that suck my balls, BMTH deserved tht award and ya'll know they did so ha, they deserved for the music adn if ppl voted for them because they want to fuck/orally please any of the members of the bands, get ur head sorted out

BRING ME THE HORIZON ARE FCKING AMAZING!!
they deserved to win.
they are acutally really nice, down to earth guys.

GEEETTTT INNNN!!!!

BMTH I LOVE YOUS!!
fuck all the haterz!

its the worst award ceremony in history... who gives a shit.

FUCK ALL YOU CUNTS

okay someone wants to die shut the fuck up bring me the horizon is fucking awseome

BMTH won! Yay! Enter Shikari are good too.

fuck off you fags!!!!!!!!!!!!
Bring me the horizon is the best band in this fucking world
so shut up you fucking jealous whores!!!!!!!!!!!

COME ON for fucks sake!
You people are so fucked up its unbeleivable, someone HAD to vote - or there'd have been no motherfucking winner!! So your not all happy, well fuck you! The most popular band won - they might be scene they might not - who cares! They wrote music, they won, they deserved it!
And no I'm not scene or a gigantic fan of theres!! IMO Bullets and Octanwe should have been nominated, but they weren't - be happy you can give the bands you like an award - its not easy being 'different!' - sometimes i think the bands know it more than half the 'fling' kids!

Peace guys!
Well done BMTH.

are the blackout the puffs with pink hair nd two singers? if so they need shooting ther wear so shit live

Non of these bands are good realy all mainstream nob cheese theonly non mainstream ones on this list are fucking shit like the blackout with there pink hair nd two singers wtf? you only need1 u nonces plus ther welsh the welsh r fuckin ghey!

its obvs a fix, its sponsered by myspace.

BMTH are myspace!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh I'm sure you should tell the BMTH lads they ARE myspace they'd be f'ing millionaires!!!! I'm sure they would be well over the moon!!
Strange how your name is linked to myspace? If its that terrible boycott it!!
You saddos make me laugh!!! You all use myspace! Jesus!!

You ppl are unbelievably annoying!!!!!

BMTH won, hooray hooray!!!!

I've just been reading the comments and I can't believe how upset people get about BMTH haircuts?! Do you people walk about with your eyes closed? 90% of the music industry has haircuts like that!
Also I'm sure that visible noise didn't sign the band cause they have nice hair!!!!

Visible Noise: Hi is that BMTH,

BMTH: Yes

VN - Oh I love you hair can we sign you?

BMTH - Have you heard our music?

VN - No , but we like your hair!!

Some how I don't think thats how it happened, do you?
As for the people saying that they don't think alot about their fans have obviously had their brains removed, stamped on by their nike air wearing mates, and shoved back in their heads!!
I mean what do you do, follow them round watching their every move, because you all seem to know what they do every hour of the day!!! Well this may surprise you all, but you don't actually know them!! Well maybe you do in your sick fantasy world!!!

Get over it!!
And you know what will be the best reply to all your stupid comments?
BMTHs' acceptance speech at next years kerrang awards!!!

i'm not complaining

its just a real fucking shame that this generation of youths can be appealed by such incompetent fags.

lead singer looks like a girl and their music has no rhythm or distinction to it that makes it untalented shite.

silly scene kids need to appreciate music and not look, although while look can be important it's not more vital than playing the instruments.

Mendeed are the best band to come out of scotland and they're being masked by these faggots.
