what do people think of kerrang!? is it, in anyway possible, leftfield? it does appeal to a largely apolitical audience, but is always slagging off gw bush. is this just a bandwagon or genuine disdain? id have thought many rock fans with a mind for politics associate with the left, with bands such as rage and system on the covers.
but then again, its full of ignorant, self righteous bands such as stink 182 and the poo shiters going "we care so much of the people that we're gonna boost kerry".
was kurt cobain left-wing. he sung out against ultra-conservative subjects such as homophobia and chauvinism. or what about the whole grunge movement?

Kerrang? :huh:

Anyway, a lot of rock bands are just anti-Bush, and not necessarily leftist.

And that post was pretty incoherent.

I will have a serious go: No Kerang isn't seriously leftist. From time to time, just as the bands it largely represents, it flirts with left leaning libertarian politics because it is fashionable amongst teenagers.

If an ultra-conservative stance is what sold mags then I am sure that is where they would head.

I will not comment on Kurt Cobain because that is a whole other can of worms.

i remember in the old days when it was far cheeper :( (well, 4 years ago)

Then one day i looked at my collection and realised how much money i had spent on them.



I share the comments made.
Nope. not lefty.
