I remember when Kerrang! became a huge deal (again) around 2000/2001, and I never really bought it as I thought it was a kids mag then, catering to the Blink-182 through to Slipknot generation...
So if it is really all "Omg!" gossipy shit now, it must have gone waaay down the crapper, because I never really found it that in-depth to begin with.
But that's not being bitter and twisted, because Classic Rock just re-write the same articles on the same bands every month for the past 12 years i've been buying that.
If it's not Guns 'n' Roses, Slash, Jimi Hendrix, Kiss, Bon Jovi or Led Zeppelin, it may as well not exist.
