Machine Head have been in the music business way longer than MCR, while MCR is not a TERRIBLE band. They still dont match Machine head. Kerrang have made a terrible mistake. They should make different awards for different genres to avoid this sort of mix up.

how in shittin hell did they win!!
MCR should have walked this award they are the best band in the fuckin world... and TBP is so amazing and played on K all the time. their shit is hardly ever on! i think this whole awards crap is excactly that, CRAP! its a fix for sure!!!!!!!

So fucking delighted!!!!! this is what u call an album!!!

MACHINE HEAD DESERVED TO WIN!! MCR DIDN'T DESERVE ANY AWARD. MACHINE HEAD SHOULD'VE WON BEST INTERNATIONAL BAND TOO. BUT THEY WON HARD ROCK HERO AND BEST ALBUM AND THEY DESERVE IT. MACHINE HEAD HAVE BEEN AROUND FOR 14 YEARS! MCR HAVE BEEN AROUND 3 YEARS. MACHINE HEAD HAVE BEEN THROUGH 10 TIMES WORSE SHIT THAN MCR HAVE. SO GET IT UP YE YOU EMO BASTARDS!!

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

totally agree with sean!!!!!!!!

The Blackening what a fuckin album awesome.
The best album won.

Machine Fuckin Head

Machine fuckin Head

To Hell with y'all sayin Machine Head don't deserve this award. MCR have gone from strengh to strengh, whereas Machine Head have pulled themselves out of some bad critic reviews for their last few albums. Any band that can reinvent and push themselves this far after 14 years, deserve acclaim.

What is the difference between Machine Head and those 4 other bands.

Machine Head are FUCKIN METAL!!!
isn't that what Kerrang is about after all.

I don't bloody believe this!!!! MCR only won 1 award, they should have won all 4 that they were nominated for. THEY ARE SO MUCH BETTER THAN ALL THESE OTHER BANDS. AND THEY SHOULD DEF HAD WON THIS AWARD!!! I am so gutted for them

I don't bloody believe this!!!! MCR only won 1 award, they should have won all 4 that they were nominated for. THEY ARE SO MUCH BETTER THAN ALL THESE OTHER BANDS. AND THEY SHOULD DEF HAD WON THIS AWARD!!! I am so gutted for them

I'm really surprise... :| The Black Parade is the best Album I've never seen... it's the concept album that I like most [is it right? sorry guys, I'm italian and I don't speak english very good] with American Idiot... the producer was Rob Cavallo! I'm really really surprise... :| that's a pity...

oh shut up you idiots.

the black parade was much worse than 3 cheers and bullets.

stupid girls.

scouza, stop using a computer you stole u filthy scouser.


stop typing in capitals aswell you fucktards

At least MCR won best band :] which means tehy are the best XD

all you little kids, stop typing bollocks, go out and buy machine head's latest album, and then you'll no why they one the fuckin award. mcr are shit

dan - The Black Parade is amazing, as are Three cheers and Bullets. They just went along a different path and tried something new. It is EPIC!
Don't pick on someone cos of where they come from. How low.

Machine Head totally deserve this award.

The Blackening is by far the best metal album to have been released this year.

and yes, I said Metal.....not emo-cack like the rest of the bands listed release.

That's badass.

Machine Head...gotta love this band. They put their heart and soul into what they do, and they don't write mainstream shit just so a bunch of 16 year old girls will buy it.

Way to go Rob, Adam, Dave, and Phil!

i don't think i've heard any of machine head's album 'the blackening' but i'm sure MCR's black parade album has GOT to be WAY better!!!!!!i luv MCR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

MACHINE FUCKING HEAD

HELL YEAH

MCR are over rated and untalented, great to see a band who actually deserve thewaward win at kerrang!

Kerrang is a retarded magazine, but it's good to see Machine Head winning awards from all these mags that slagged them off so hard for their previous few albums.

Oh, and to the 12 year old girls and their boyfriends (who probably have boyfriends) who thought one of the other bands should have won, I'm glad to let you know, that for once, the most talented band with by far most well-written album won.

MACHINE FUCKING HEAD! thats right you bitch. TAKIN OVER THE FUCKING WORLD.

MCR deserved to win...the black parade is the BEST album i've ever heard(and i've heard quite a few)

"THAT IS ABSOLUTE DISGRACE WHAT THE FUCK HAVE MACHINE HEAD DONE TO DESERVE THAT"

Three words - "BURN MY EYES". Maybe when MCR write an album that actually provides inspiration and adds originality to the genre, instead of just following a trend made up by a bunch of 16 year old keyboard warriors that don't even know the basics of proper grammar. Then maybe, JUST maybe they'll gain an award.

Machine Head wrote a timeless album with "The Blackening". Everyone will forget who MCR are once the emo trend dies out, and alot of you will look back 10 years from now and think "what the fuck was I doing?".

That's why Machine Head fucking won.

my chemical romance should have won

Look at half these kids going "ive never head MH album but MCR's is way better"
Shut up and listen to decent music not created purely for creating revenue.
Why the hell are you saying, "what did they do?" They created a FREAKING MASTERPIECE. Thats what.

The blackening is very possible one of the best albums ive ever heard, MCR's old stuff was way better before some twat turned them into completed sellouts, now they're just like the rest.

can't wait till Black crusade tour! \m/

how the fuck did machine head win a smash hit polls winner award. me and all my faggy emo mates voted for fall out boy, we love petes willy

MACHINE FUCKING HEAD RULE, they vreate an album which so far is the best and most epic sound ever created, MCR SUCK and are untalented little snob who are only lucky that they are "in" with the fashion at the moment, Machine head has been around for 14 years and are still are around today, they made perfection in that album where as MCR created some dull, whiney and well... shit, the blacking is musical perfection

MACHINE HEAD RULE!!!!!

MACHINE HEAD RULE!!!!!

did i just read that right " WHAT THE FUCK HAVE MACHINE HEAD DONE TO DESERVE THAT"
well you simple minded child they created a timeless, complex, powerful, and amazing album that grips you from first song to last,
where ALL the members command their instruments with the prowess of gods.
this album has it all, fast/slow, heavey and melodic parts that makes for an album that i will listen to for the next 14 years of MH's career while i doubt MCR's will last 3 years.

by the way,
BIFFY-- an INDIE band, and really uninterestin
SHIKARI-- mix piss poor rave with piss poor scremo shit, bt it still hypnotises thousands of their "fans".
FAG OUT BoY-- a pop band, thats bad enough, i mean the FRATELLI's rock harder then them
MCR-- you can't say that their like queen cos that puts queens guitarist, brian may down, queen played on top of buckinham palace, MCR wud be lucky to play on top of netto

MCR is ten times the band that Machine Head is---The Blackening--wonder where they got the idea for that album? The Black Crusade--is that really the name of thier tour??? sounds familiar--no?? What a pile of BS!!!!!!!!

Oh my fucking god!!
I think MCR should won in this award!!!/_\

A more Talented band won, accept it

Yea MH fuckin rule!! MCR??? are u kidding me? They rip off so many bands on that album its rediculous. all u fuckin limey fruits stop your whining and bow to Mr Robb Flynn and the Mighty MACHINE HEAD!!!!

are you fucking kidding me you lil emo's?!? Machine head deserve that award by fucking miles! the blacking treats the shit out of the black parade! Machine head fucking rule!!

What has Machine Head done? Are u kidding me. They are one of the reasons that MCR even has a background to play on. They are one of the core fathers to thrash/nu-metal/speed metal. If it wasn't for bands like them, Metallica, Slayer, Bio-hazard, they would have never started this new type of music. If you want to listen to something that has real meaning, such as religion, war, politics, and self reflection pick up the blackening and see what real music righting is all about. If you want to listen to a band that going to be around for 15 minutes and have 2 smash hits on the radio and sound like shit, pick up MCR. I hate 12 year old bitches who think they know what music is. Machine Fucking Head. Haters go to hell.

To all the fags that think Machine Head are shit, let me fill you in. With all the shit that's going on in the world today, e.g politically all they can write about is relationship issues. Screw that shit. The Blackening is a well-written album, worthy of all the awards and recognition its getting. The fact that a great metal band has beaten a platinum artist, is GREAT!. Machine Head deserve this, screw "MCR"

LOL at all you little emo kids that think Machine Head didn't deserve to win. TEH BLACKENING OWNS YOU ALL! welcome to REAL music kids! Thats what METAL sounds like. Maybe this will make some of you realise you've been listening to pop music for the last three years.

Hmmm, I wonder what the average age of the MCR fans throwing their toys out of the pram over this result are? "What have Machine Head done?" Seriously, do you think music only began three years ago?

"MCR is ten times the band that Machine Head is---The Blackening--wonder where they got the idea for that album? The Black Crusade--is that really the name of thier tour??? sounds familiar--no?? What a pile of BS!!!!!!!!"

HAHAHA! so what both albums have one word in common in their titles, so what dont fucking mean that they copied em! jesus! its rich a mcr fan saying that aswell lol, may i ask how many bands have mcr ripped off on that album? queen n pink flyod to name a few, yet the blackening is completely original heavy as fuck METAL! Long live REAL fucking music!!

TO ALL YOU LITTLE MCR FANS EHO WANTED THEM TO WIN SO BAD , THERE NEW ALBUM SUCKS!
There first two alums owned but tbh the black parade is shit .

Biffy Clyro should have won

Kerrang! tries desperately hard to regain some credibility amongst real music fans. I seem to remember Machine Head coverage was minimal when 'The Blackening' was released. It was only after Download they were on the cover. Embarassed to see they pulled a bigger crowd than MCR, eh?

Lmao @ all the people who thought MCR/Shikari should have won.

Makes a change a decent band wins.

Ha I Love It, Everyone Thought It Would Be MCR or ES. Go Machine Head

mcr fans, tut...machine head are metal legends.
mcr, what are they known for, looking like a bunch a strokers.
mcr are shocking, maybe when you fans hit 10 you might notice how shocking they are.

at least machine head talent.

Fuck Mcr Machine Head Deserve It And To The People Who Think Mcr Should Have Won Go Out And Buy The Blackeneing And Unleash The Fuckin Wolves!!!!!!!!!!!

MCR weren't there so weren't allowed to win more than one. That's how K! play the game. It's not about votes.

Fair play to Machione Head. Battling through all the other bands to come out on top. They totally deserve it and just goes to show how the real metal bands are recognised

MEEEEEETTTTTTTTAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLL

Just listen to the guitar work on both albums, then decide.

Technically, Machine Head p!ss all over anything MCR have done. Seriously.

The Blackening is a legendary album, possibly even worth comparing to Metallica's Master of Puppets. There's no chance MCR could ever write anything to that standard.

Machine Head FULLY deserve it for their last album, which has also won Metal Hammer's Album of the Year award too...

FUCK YOU MCR FANS

FUCK YOU FALLOUT BOY FANS

FUCK YOU ENTER SHIKARI FANS. they are the worst fucking band ever

machine fucking head deserved that award more than those fucking idiots. they busted their asses off.

also, if i remember correctly, this award was voted for by the fans, so they must of done something right to get it

fuck all that mainstream emo pop rock shit, i hope he dies out like nu metal

MACHINE FUCKING HEAD!!!

Fuck this shit, MCR should have won fucking cancer the ridiculous cunts, Machine head deserved this.

Do be perfectly honest, I am a massive fan of My Chemical Romance.
If this album was Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge, then it should have won.
This is THE BLACK PARADE.
The Black Parade, which after a while gets boring.
It's poppier.
And it's changed the band, and now all these fake fans bum them.
I want My Chem back to where they were in 2004/2005.
Being thought of as vampires and having photoshoots covered in blood.

The Black Parade has turned Gerard Way into an arrogant twat. Watch footage from Projekt Rev two days ago.
He fucking attacked the guitarist and couldn't sing for shit.

So i'm glad Machine Head won.
I'm sick of the world bumming MCR when they've only been listening to them for 6 months.


"i don't think i've heard any of machine head's album 'the blackening' but i'm sure MCR's black parade album has GOT to be WAY better!!!!!!i luv MCR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

People like you is what makes me ashamed to even like MCR.
People who can't even fucking spell.

hahahahaha those silly emo cunts!
HAHAHAHA

METAL PREVAILS.

Machine Head deserve every award they are nominated for, so glad they won this, The Blackening was by far the best album this year, around 60mins of pure metal.

i cant see why MCR deserved it so much like all you silly emo twats are saying. they are a bunch of sad over-rated, over-played arseholes. How can anyone in there right mind think the little crying emo twats culd beat the greatest metal band and album for some while now.
GO MACHINE HEAD!

MACHINE FUCKING HEAD!!
MACHINE FUCKING HEAD!!
MACHINE FUCKING HEAD!!
MACHINE FUCKING HEAD!!

Haha finally a victory for metal over a load of crap emo that belongs on channels such as The Box. Kerrang is about hard rock and this proves it!!! The Blackening is a crazy album. It doesn't matter how hard a band works on an album it doesn't mean they should win any feckin awards. Lets hope this is the time that pop rock and emo starts to die. MCR, FOB, Panic and all the others can fuck off back to their affluent, anguished lives and let proper rock music come to the fore again!!!!!!!!!! LONG LIVE METAL!!!!!!!!!! LONG LIVE MACHINE FUCKING HEAD!!!!!!!!

BWUERH. Mcr shoulda won that >.< or atleast enter shikari

YEAH GET IT
machine head are way better than all the other nominees put together
proper happy
and glad that fall out boy and mcr didn't win

MACHINE FUCKING HEAD !!!!!!!!!!!1

OK, MCR's 3rd album was KINDA shitty!

I mean, im a huge MCR fan, but the 3rd album was a let down.

The only reason MCR have all thes fangirl sorta fans now is because they moved onto a punky genre and that sucks!

album 1 & 2 kicks ass!

thats why i voted for FOB xD!!!

"The Black Crusade--is that really the name of thier tour??? sounds familiar--no??"

Erm first off it's not machine head's main tour. Second, the reason it's called The Black Crusade is because they are headlining with trivium. The Blackening and The Crusade, The Black Crusade. DO YOU FUCKING UNDERSTAND?

I think all of you are just pissed because you've started to realise that your precious little emo trand is dying out and now you're regretting spending loads on girls jeans and hair style products.

Metal ALWAYS prevails, Metal doesn't go up and down like silly little trends, it just smashes through the opposition.

All of you arse wipes bleating on about how MCR should have won should just dry your eyes and get on with life. Machine Head are the best band around at the moment, with a masterful album. This award doesn't prove that, you'll need to listen first. What it does prove is that more people gave a toss to vote for their album than any of the others.
