Elliot Minor should of won.

Shez // 21.08.08

I wanted Elliot Minor or Go Audio to win.

Kirstyy! // 21.08.08

W.T.F
ELLIOT MINOR
SHOULD HAVE WON.

SlAVES TO GRAVITY .. ¬_¬
NOBODY EVEN KNOWS WHO THEY ARE.

>=O

nat // 21.08.08

K AWARDS ARE A FIX!
THEY MADE THE HEAVIEST BAND WIN!
COME ON THEY DON'T EVEN HAVE 6,000 MYSPACE FRIENDS FOR FUCK SAKE.
WHO THE HELL VOTED FOR THEM BEATS ME.

ANY BAND COULD OF WON EXCEPT THEM.
ELLIOT MINOR OR AT LEAST GO AUDIO OR EVEN
WE AT THE OCEAN SHOULD HAVE WON.
EVEN DEAD SWANS HAVE MORE MYSPACE FRIENDS.

THE 'PROPER' WINNER SHOULD HAVE WALKED SLAVES TO GRAVITY.
MOST PEOPLE HAVEN'T EVEN HEARD OF THEM.
I HAVE NEVER WITNESSED SUCH A FIX IN MY LIFE.
RIGGED ABSOULOTLEY RIGGED.

ELLIOT MINOR SHOULD HAVE WON.
KERRANG OBVISOULY THOUGHT WAIT THEY ARE NOT HEAVY ENOUGH LET'S MAKE SLAVES TO GRAVITY WIN COZ THEY SOUND THE HEAVIEST.

rennit // 21.08.08

What!! Who? Go:Audio should have had it in the bag. Who won it again?

NO // 21.08.08

'THEY MADE THE HEAVIEST BAND WIN!'
have you heard dead swans?!
oh for fucks sake its only an award! elliot minor lost, oh well, theyre shit. it's not a fix, they genuinely didnt win.

Niamh // 21.08.08

Well done Kerrang..Are you really that low?

Just because you don't like the band doesn't mean you make them miss out on winning.
As people have said..very little people know slaves to gravity..so your making prats out of yourself.

You've just made a heck of alot of people hate you ;)

MINOR FTW

Steph // 21.08.08

I can't understand why 'Minor shouldn't have won this- they're the best band on there by far. The thing that disappoints me, i have to say, is that if you read the small print when you vote it says that the winners are decided only PARTLY through the public votes... the people from K! also have a say in it. If it was just done by public votes, 'Minor would have won hands down.

I live in the Midlands and have my radio pretty much permenantly tuned in to K! and i couldn't name a single Gallows song... i don't ever recall them being played whereas 'Minor are played quite a lot.

Rachel // 21.08.08

Hmmm...maybe I could have understood if minor had lost to go:audio even, cos go:audio are good in my opinion...but slaves to gravity? nahhh...
elliot minor should have won. who agrees?
and lol, i think i know alot of the people here saying minor should have won...damn right, go us minor fans!!

emma // 21.08.08

wtf?
this is so fixed!
its so obvious too cos kerrang have made it clear that they dont like 'minor
this is fucked up
who the fuck are slaves to gravity?

i officially hate kerrang

Roxy // 21.08.08

WE ARE THE OCEAN should've got it!

They were robbed.

ffs // 21.08.08

So ive already commented this but
THIS IS A FUCKING FIX
I mean come on only 6000 friends?!?!
Minor had this in the bag
Or at least go:audio
Seriously?!
This is fucking dumb, who are they??

nat // 21.08.08

would every1 shut the fuck up sayin Slaves shouldnt of won!! coz the fact is, they did n that means they should have!!
they had more votes than the other bands so tough shit deal with it!!
they have worked their arses off tourin the country n America n gettin videos done with their own money so they do totally deserve some regonition!!
WELL DONE SLAVES!!! :D

KT // 21.08.08

Elliot minor (L)

what happened?

The lead singer of slaves to gravity looks like a transvestite.

Jessica // 21.08.08

WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!
Elliot Minor should of won
Or Go:Audio :@

Niamh // 21.08.08

i really just LOLED at KT's comment
:')

lea // 21.08.08

Go audio should have won seen them live recently they are electric, who the hell won it, ive never heard of them, loosing faith in this voting system!!!!!!

Sinead // 21.08.08

This was a fix elliot minor should have one.
apparently STG were telling people not to vote for elliot minor x

rachael // 21.08.08

this award isn;t based on myspace friends. you need to take a broader look on things for gods sake! and i love you, whoever you are who said that wato should have won! ;) hah

Jess // 21.08.08

Yeah! Go slaves to gravity!

OMFG ITS A FIZ // 21.08.08

ITS ALL A FIX AND SO HAV EM THEY HAV DONE MORE THAN ANY OTHER BAND

TQ // 21.08.08

Well am glad I wont be seeing any of you fickle lot at a STG show in the future. Stick to EM kids - who admittedly I like as a guilty pleasure - but I'll stick to seeing real music by a real band.
And the Myspace comments are just hysterical - you think having a lot of "friends" makes a band good?

rachael // 21.08.08

I will shut up soon. BUT what makes you all think elliot minor have worked any harder than any other band up for the award? Just because you happen to like them doesn't mean that they deserve to win. And just to be hypocrytical they shouldn't win any based on the fact that they're not a rock band.

lea // 21.08.08

Good point steph, whats the point of voting if our votes only partly count no point at all, obviously we are not going to get the final say!!! Go audio should have wonxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Charli // 21.08.08

Erm, who are Slaves To Gravity?
I'm being serious here.
This isn't just because I'm annoyed that Elliot Minor didn't win - I am - I just honestly don't know who the hell Slaves To Gravity are.
This is slightly fucked up. 'Minor had this in the bag.

***MiNoR fUcKiNg RoCk*** // 21.08.08

WTF??? Hu d Fuck r slave 2 gravity??
hav u noticed most of d comments here r 4 minor?? dnt care wat any1 says, dey wel shuda won dat, nd n my eyes dey did.
minor hav fans all over the fuckn country, most ppl neva even herd of slaves 2 gravity. if dis was realy down 2 d public vote minor wud hav well won, hands down. i dnt care bu dis wasn fair !!!!!!!!!!!

kirsty! // 21.08.08

you know what..
i wont be voting in the kerrang! awards anymore,
since our votes hardly even count.

>=O

Tabby // 21.08.08

I completely agree with Charli as i said in another comment on a picture.
I hadn't heard of them until the nominations came out... which doesn't really speak for much.

They just must have a hardcore fanbase who like clicking 'Vote'

x

Annoyed // 21.08.08

this is so dumb.. just because Elliot Minor are lighter than the others and the K! staff have all decided that they are rubbish and they should pick a 'better' band to win to 'keep their reputation'..
Elliot Minor should have won hands down.. they've worked the hardest, appreciate fans and are really talented people who make great music. So what makes them not deserve the Best British Newcomer?

NO // 21.08.08

or maybe, just maybe, slaves to gravitys fans genuinely have voted more. or maybe they have more fans.

Hmm // 21.08.08

Personally
Tonight i think kerrang has lost alot of readers...

Wato // 21.08.08

haha. the amount of people claiming 'elliot minor' should win should wake up. i mean come on?
what makes them not desevre the best british newcomer?
simple: they don't deserve it. and as for the fact, no one has heard of slaves to gravity? well, the obviously have all you sour elliot minor fans because the got boted for by readers of the magazine.
if you wanted to elliot minor to win, you should have voted.
personally, i wanted wato. but slaves to gravity deserve it too.

FFS!!!!!!!!!! // 21.08.08

GO AUDIO SOOOOO SHOULD HAVE WON

FFS!!!!!!!!!!DS // 21.08.08

GO AUDIO SOOOOO SHOULD HAVE WON

Wato // 21.08.08

haha. the amount of people claiming 'elliot minor' should win should wake up. i mean come on?

simple: they don't deserve it. and as for the fact, no one has heard of slaves to gravity? well, people obviously have heard of them all you sour elliot minor fans because the got voted for by readers of the magazine.
if you wanted to elliot minor to win, you should have voted.
personally, i wanted wato. but slaves to gravity deserve it too.

Sam // 21.08.08

WTF Elliot minor rule! They should have won!

hahaha // 21.08.08

you're hoenstly going to stop reading kerrang because elliot minor didn't win an award? so what? they're shit! no-one else is going to stop reading it because say wato didnt win, or dead swans (though i doubt dead swans fans read kerrang anyway, but whatever.) you need to start living your own life, not elliot minors.

get a grip. // 21.08.08

i agree with the wato girl.
by no means did elliot minor deserve to win that award. yes, some of you may condsider them worthy of winning that award, but it's clear that they don't deserve it.
personally, i'm not a HUGE slaves to gravity fan, but i know that i belive they deserved to win that award more than elliot minor.
elliot minor may have worked hard to get the award, but who's to say the other bands didn't either? most of you who are upset about this are elliot minor fans. and if i'm honest, i'd hardly class them as 'rock' in the first place. so don't go complaining that the other bands were 'heavier music' so it's not fair.

Becky // 21.08.08

Yipyip. I agree with both the wato people. They clearly should've won, but as long as Elliot Minor didn't win i'm happy (:

Niamh // 21.08.08

I think we all need to calm down..
It wasn't up to us anyways, It was up to Kerrang in the end.
And obviously they won't choose Elliot Minor..They're not their biggest fans.

And whoever said Elliot Minor fans obvz didn't vote enough, Your totally out of order. We voted like mad.

Rage // 21.08.08

who??? Let's face it Go:Audio are just in a league of their own! They ARE the best! ..I'm with Rennit!

get a grip. // 21.08.08

ok, i just saw hmm's comment.
you think people are going to stop reading kerrang because elliot minor didn't win.
my god, this band causes such a big fuss over nothing.
i bet you so called 'fans' of elliot minor never voted, and only buy kerrang when they are in it.
because, if you had looked closely, stg have been mentioned in there before.

hahah // 21.08.08

kerrang didn't pick elliot minor becuase they're not exactly a rock band, are they? if this was like 'smash hits' awards then maybe they would have stood a chance.

hahahahaha // 21.08.08

it would be an elliot minor fan telling everyone to calm down.
it's you fans that caused this shit in the first place.
WATO are amazing.
so are STG.
anyone besides elliot minor make amazing winners.

hahahahaha // 21.08.08

it would be an elliot minor fan telling everyone to calm down.
it's you fans that caused this shit in the first place.
WATO are amazing.
so are STG.

Polly // 21.08.08

Who are they Slaves 2 Gravity never heard of em.Go Audio should have won,they r the Best British New Comers, we all luv their music.

Niamh // 21.08.08

Yes but i'm not the one going around insulting all the other bands. Unlike some.

Rob A // 21.08.08

Reading the comments on here makes me sick, for f**ks sake, STG have won it and deserved to, end of...

WE ARE THE OCEAN // 21.08.08

we are the ocean should have one.
elliot minor fans, go back to your smash hits magazines.

Niamh // 21.08.08

Um..I don't think their is a smash hits magazine anymore ;)

JC // 21.08.08

WTF!!!!

why are people saying elliot minor are shit because they are really not so GROW UP!!!

i think GO:AUDIO

really deserved this award they have come such a far way and if people want to take the piss out of them too go on be stupid i personaly think go:audio are one of the best bands i have ever heard so if youu dont like i dont want to know!!

okay thats all

GO GO GO:AUDIO

ELIOT MINOR also are awesome ness ness

:D

hahaha // 21.08.08

actually, i'm insulting one band.
elliot minor.
the rest i have no problem with, i think they all are great.

and i also agree with Rob a.
STG won it and deserved too.
for those of you who claim you haven't heard of them? check them out...cos they will be taking over soon.

WE ARE THE OCEAN // 21.08.08

this whole 'anybody who doesn't like elliot minor is stupid' thing has got to stop.
yes, to you fans they are probably amazing and the best band ever. but noteveryone has that view, and if you don't like it, then tough. it's called having an opinion.

JC // 21.08.08

ARGHHHHH

why are people taking the piss out of elliot minor and saying they are shit because there not okay just cos youu dont like them doesn't mean youu have to tell everyone GROW UP!!!

GO:AUDIO should of won this award they have come so far they are probally in my opion one of the best bands i have ever heard. if youu want to take the piss out of them then fine i dont want know keep it to yourself!!

GO GO GO:AUDIO WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO (L)

ellit minor (L)

Just bleh // 21.08.08

I agree with Niamh
Minor fans were voting like crazy, but i guess it doesnt even matter anymore.

I've been getting kerrang for three years now and every year these awards are bull
I mean the least known band wins?
Typical
But whatever because on this page its obvious people aren't allowed opinions without getting the shit kicked back into them
And in a way i am ashamed at some minor fans cause tbf the guys wouldn't want this, just stop going ultra teenie. They didnt win. It doesn't matter, its just a damn popularity contest.

Just bleh is right. // 21.08.08

people on here can't seem to have opinions without being taken the piss out of by someone who doesn't agree.
WE ARE THE OCEAN is right.
these are just our personal opinons.
it's over now, it doesn't matter.

hahah // 21.08.08

'Niamh', no really, there is a smash hits magazine. i swear i used to read it.

GG // 21.08.08

WTF!!!
who the hell are STG anyway, they suck
ELLIOT MINOR SHOULD HAVE WON THAT OR AT LEAST GO:AUDIO

Rachel // 21.08.08

''kerrang didn't pick elliot minor becuase they're not exactly a rock band, are they?'' Im not trying to pick on one person or anything but, seriously, if they arent a rock band and kerrang arent gonna tak ethem seriously...why put them in kerrang in the first place?
and we're causing all the trouble, are we? SOME of us are just saying that we wanted elliot minor to win and we think they should have won which is perfectly allowed, and people are suddenly being like 'elliot minor are shit' 'elliot minor are rubbish' 'im glad they didnt win'
and about this ''i bet most of you didnt even vote for them'' thing that someone said earlier, I know MOST of us fans did vote, so whatever.
ELLIOT MINOR ARE AWESOME
[and I'm not gonna diss STG or any of the other bands cos thats just childish. although the comment about the lead singer looking like a trannie did make me LOL]

Jenni // 21.08.08

Go:Audio sooo should have won that. Gah.

hahah // 21.08.08

the only reason they're featured in the magazine is because they're on a major label. Bands have to pay to get in the magazine as far as i know, consequently only bands on major labels can afford to get mentioned. and the only reason people are saying elliot minor are shit is because its true.

ashling // 21.08.08

ok most of these comments r from ellliot minor fans wers the slaves of gravity fans who the hell r dey like
every elliot minor fan voted
they should of one!!!!!!!!!
like elliot minor r reli god at wat they do and dey put so much work into der band!it doesnt make sense!i have never even heard of the band that won!!!if elliot minor didnt win!then go:audio should of one!like wtf???

amy // 21.08.08

OMG !!! ELLIOT MINOR SHUD HAEV WON !!! I love go@ audio too though :)

Gabz // 21.08.08

Elliot minor are sooo much better! Never heard of the others!

Lauren // 21.08.08

Elliot Minor should have won, or atleast Go:Audio.

nicky // 21.08.08

NO WAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Elliot Minor so should have won this or even Go:audio.

BUM // 21.08.08

omfgzzz lyk stg r lyykkk soooooo awesome ;)
WHO THE FUCK
fixed much?

sorry but minor DESERVE to win something i rly dont care wht u say
although this wasnt really the right category
i mean theyre hardly "new"


what we need to do is get off our fucking arses and show the world what elliot minor are all about. about what being a minor fan is like. about what they bring to us and our lives. about how good there music is.
instead of all this wineing and complaining yeah
whos with me?

the guys know we love them and thats what truely matters
not some stupid twatting award that will sit on some random shelf somewhere

xxx


Rachel // 21.08.08

If Elliot Minor are so shit, how come they have lots of fans on myspace, they're selling out tour dates, their album got to number 6 in the charts, all their singles except for one have got into the top 40 and they're playing festivals etc all over the place? And they've toured in europe too. Explain that one.

Rachel // 21.08.08

Oh, and I agree with BUM above
They really deserved an award, but tbh...what does an award do REALLY? Like they said, apart from sitting on a shelf collecting dust.
We need to show these people that Elliot Minor are awesome and talented and a lot better than some bands will EVER be, and thats the truth.

Colin // 21.08.08

Go:Audio should have well won that!! They have got to be the best band out just now! Seen them live and they are brilliant going to see them again in November =D

hahah // 21.08.08

the general public's music taste is shocking to be fair, have you not gathered that from the shite that's in the chart such as mika?
but fuck it i cant be bothered to argue anymore lol. you go and show the world what elliot minor has done for you and i'll go to bed. sounds good to me.

Mark Massacare! // 21.08.08

WHO THE FUCK IVE NEVER EVEN HRED OF THEM !

DEAD SWANS
DEAD SWANS
DEAD SWANS
DEAD SWANS
DEAD SWANS
DEAD SWANS
DEAD SWANS

DEAD FUCKING SWANS SHOULD HAVE WON IT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hmm.. // 21.08.08

Tbqh, saying that STG only have a few thousand MySpace friends whilst EM have zillions doesn't mean that EM are better or deserve the award more.

STG work their fookin arses off, and if you've ever been to a STG show (Leeds Cockpit show ^^) you will not only know how fucking amazing they are live, but how loyal their fans are, unlike an EM show were its full of girls (this entire comment board proves thus theory), a STG show has people of all age groups and all gender categories.

Yeah, maybe Kerrang fixed it, maybe they didn't, maybe all the zillion EM MySpace fans didn't vote? Maybe the smaller, 'unknown' STG fans voted in their masses, and spammed the fuck out of the voting page?

Who cares anyway?

There's always next year, so don't get your knickers in a twist.

Ellie (: // 21.08.08

FUCKING BOLACKS!

Elliot Minor Are like THE Most Amazing Band EVER

BLAH TO YOU!

I VOTED FOR THEM LIKE 346256157860 TIMES :(

Michael // 21.08.08

I am really surprised Slaves To Gravity won this considering how little they are on TV and I've never heard them on the radio (Although I never hear rock on the radio because I live in Ireland and we dont have any rock radio station), they totally deserved to win.

Slaves To Gravity Rock!

Emily // 21.08.08

Slaves to who exactly?

Elliot Minor were by far one of the better bands out of the nominees.Either them or Go:Audio.

Minor truly deserved to win, not some random unknowns.

In my opinion, the awards were a fix...

char // 22.08.08

who??

wato should have won imo
but i was expecting elliot minor to win

MissV // 22.08.08

Until you have heard them & until you have seen them live please keep your uneducated opinions on STG to yourself as they dont count any. This band fully deserved this award tonight. Talent isnt counted on myspace numbers. Congratulations STG xx

Shannon // 22.08.08

Omg Go:Audio SO should have won this! I saw them last week and they fucking ruled on stage they were AWESOME live!

Angharad // 22.08.08

"what makes them not desevre the best british newcomer?
simple: they don't deserve it."

haha. Explain that one please?
It makes no sense

Aimee // 22.08.08

Arghhhhhh.
Wanted to go:audio to win.
If not them then at least elliot minor!

Aimee // 22.08.08

carla // 21.08.08
elliot minor should have won this hands down
who the fuck are slaves to gravity?
if i didnt know better, i say the kerrang awards are biased.
i mean come on. kerrang hate them
think how embarresed they would have been if minor would have won, just like they shoudl have done
fuck sake kerrang
youve really outdone yourselfves this time

I agree with her.

Anne // 22.08.08

Okay this is honestly the biggest load of bullshit I have EVER heard!
It's such a fucking fix like it's not funny.. I've never heard of STG so I can't actually say anything bad about them, but like seriously Kerrang COP ON!
Everyone fuckin knows Elliot Minor had way more votes than anyone else not matter how much anyone tries to deny it..
It's not the fact that they didn't win that I'm annoyed at, it's the fuckin dishonesty that Kerrang have..

But fuck it sure, it means nothing really. Elliot Minor are amazing, they don't need an award to prove it =]

Sarah // 22.08.08

I would`ve prefered elliot minor or go: audio to win. ¬¬
You may post some anoying comment against me for this but the truth is: the popular vote is basiclly anyone ecxept STG.

alice // 22.08.08

ITS ALL A CON come how much does kerrang hate minor so its a ll a con KERRANG ABAG SHIT AND SO IS STG

me // 22.08.08

BUM // 22.08.08

hmm said: "you will not only know how fucking amazing they are live, but how loyal their fans are, unlike an EM show were its full of girls (this entire comment board proves thus theory), a STG show has people of all age groups and all gender categories."

have YOU ever been to a minor show?


em fans ARE loyal
shows how much you know

just because the comments HERE r off girls for minor it doesnt mean there arent male fans
infact i know some male fans so stfu. and there are plenty of fans of different ages
even older ones

Will // 22.08.08

matt // 22.08.08

haha meggftw is a retard
youve never heard slaves to gravity

louder than shit poppy 'i wanna sell loads of records' elliot minor
glad a decent band won
although we are the ocean should have won
but you wouldnt have heard of them either would you?

Charlotte // 22.08.08

I still think Elliot Minor and Go:Audio are a lot better than Slaves To Gravity... but the people out there voted 4 them... oh well

JoNnY // 22.08.08

Yess, third band lucky ;)
well done slaves
and please enough elliot minor fans
the better band won thanks so stop slagging off slaves

Peter // 22.08.08

The best band won.

Gutterfly // 22.08.08

I can't see how people can slag off a band they don't know because their pathetic little band didn't win...shows how sad some people can be.

BEST BAND WON...and I held their K award...

JasmineCrouch // 22.08.08

WTF !!!!!
ELLIOT MINOR SO SHUD HAVE WON THIS, THATS ALOAD OF BULLSHIT TBH.... HU THE FUCK ARE THE GALLOWS!!!

jokes // 22.08.08

'i demand the K! staff get a life'
or maybe you should get a life and stop complaining! your blessed elliot minor lost, oh-fucking-well!

jokes, back again // 22.08.08

ALSO, 'Give The Proper Musicians A Chance To Have A Spot In The Limelight'
yes, take your own advice.
whoever you are you're an idiot.

Savannah // 22.08.08

WTF!!!!! HOW DID SLAVES TO SHIT WIN?!?!?! I HEARD HALF OF ONE OF THEIR SONGS AND NEARLY PUT MY HEAD IN THE FREEZER IT WAS THAT AWFUL!!!!
The Minors deserved that more than any of the others cause they've worked their arses off getting where they have...

Elliot Minor for the fucking win!!!

WAIT I FOUND ANOTHER IDIOT. // 22.08.08

you don't know who gallows are? even my dad knows who gallows are and that's not just an odd version of a your mum joke.

maddi loves elliot minor! x // 22.08.08

omfg elliot minor shud have won!!

and i think every1 knows that there my fave band i love them! x x x

goofball // 22.08.08

you're all a bunch of skets

dead swans deserved that they're fucking solid


go listen to elliot minor and cry for a couple of hours, maybe give your teddy a hug
thats all that pussy band are good for

dead swans for life
x

hc_united // 22.08.08

dead swans shouldve been a shoe in for this award!

klw // 22.08.08

lots of abuse on here! uncalled 4!

very disapointed ELLIOT MINOR didnt win this, voted my ass off 4 them!

i agree with every1 who said about the fix tho - definately wudnt b a gud look 4 kerrang havin a not-so-heavy band win! shame coz they hav worked very hard n r doin really well 4 themselves, shame it wasnt recognized (at the awards anyway!) - - but we know! lol.

joewtf // 22.08.08

wtf? shouldve been Dead Swans or WATO tbf

im glad it wasnt elliot fucking minnor tho :D

wtf // 22.08.08

Elliot Minor blatently sent their fans on another attack because they didn't like what they saw.

Elliot Minor are not a rock band. Neither are Go:Audio, so they shouldn't have even been shortlisted.

Dead Swans should have won.


Fact, if you can support Mcfly, you are not the type of band that should be in Kerrang. The magazine, awards, programme, radio - all of it.

Peter // 22.08.08

Slaves To Gravity were the only good band in this category! They deserved to win. While we're on about vote rigging, by the way, just remember that it was your thousands of votes over and over again for Elliot Minor & Go Audio that got them nominated over the likes of Evile in the first place.

And votes aren't determined by MySpace friends - how old are you people, 12? Get a life!!!!

By the way, Go Audio got dropped by their record label. They won't be winning shit from now on.

Congrats Slaves To Gravity, keep Britain rockin'!

elliot minor fans, // 22.08.08

This just proves how fucking shit elliot minor fans are;

'HU THE FUCK ARE THE GALLOWS!!!'

What the fuck ?! Listen to Gallows and you'll hear some good music with real fucking emotion. Not shit about Jessica fucking Alba.

Face it, most people HATE Elliot Minor.
Because, they are a pop band trying to be a rock band. If they just faced the facts that they really are not a rock band, maybe they would actually win an award.

Amy // 22.08.08

FUCK NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
FUCKING ELLIOT MINOR SHOULD HAVE FUCKING WON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :@
FUCK SAKE!!
GRRRRRRRR!

Barker! // 22.08.08

fuck off , Elliot Minor are shite and dont even deserve to be on or in kerrnag.

If you acctualy listen they are litterly Mcfly with keybords.

Now go fuck yourself fangirls and boys

DaviesLover // 22.08.08

Elliot Minor should of easly won that award!!
I dont even know the band that won!
Who the hell are they??
And as for you elliot minor fans most people hate the gallows i have seen them live and they are fucking shit! Unlike Elliot Minor who are amazing!! And they are pop/rock not like the gallows who are just scremo and you dont understand any fucking thing they are saying they are fucking shit just face it!

ELLIOT MINOR RULE!! XD

Skittles // 22.08.08

Fuck sake.
These awards were a fix, plain and simple.
Elliot Minor should have won hands down. They had more plays than any other band listed.
3,889,245 plays. Try and fucking beat that.
It's hypocrisy.
Barker, go shove your face up your arse because unlike the Gallows, at least you understand what Elliot Minor are singing about.
Fuck Gallows, fuck the Kerrang! awards, fuck Kerrang!.
Elliot Minor are too good for fucking Kerrang! anyway.

CloClo // 22.08.08

Maybe Elliot Minor should just boycott Kerrang! from now on?
You fans can go off then and bitch between yourselfs while the rest of us get on with listening to decent music....

chantell // 22.08.08

lmao. Elliot Minor should of won. what is wrong with you people. their just as bad as Mcfly.

We Are The Ocean should of won that.

WATO
WATO
WATO
WATO
WATO
WATO

Peter // 22.08.08

Skittles - its not about Myspace. Slaves To Gravity won because they got more votes on here. Simple. Get over it!

Lauren // 22.08.08

Elliot Minor are just like McFly?!

Elliot Minor IS decent music whether you pricks think it or not, they may not be bloody screamo or anything hardcore like that but atleast you can frigging understand what they're singing and hear the effort and time they've put into their music.

Emmaa // 22.08.08

WAHHHHHH GO:AUDIO SHUDAA WON

the otthaaz are shit

i am the rumour // 22.08.08

Elliot minor should of won

sorry but who the fuck are slaves to gravity ive never fucking heard of them. Fuck sake kerrang can you get any more fucking fixed ?

also go:audio should of won if elliot minor hadnt i mean wtf elliot minor and go:audio are the only to fucking bands ive heard of on the whole fucking list.

You do realise everyone know thinks kerrang is more fixed than who wants to be a millionare ? *ahem fixed is the right answer fixed ahem*

FUCK OF KERRANG i used to think you were half decent fucking cunts.

</3

Barker! // 22.08.08

haha you guys are a bunch of prats i didnt even say once that i liked gallows , or hardcore or screamo i hate that shit. I'm all for new music but tbh listen to Mcfly and listen to them.

i like metal and i mean decent metal, not fucking shit like harcore and crap ok? dont slag me off when i didnt even say i liked any of that.

My Fave band is Red Hot Chili Peppers , so i dont see how you'd say oh you love hardcore and screamo thats all shite nerr nerr.

I never said i even liked STG, but tbh im just sick of all you fucking fangirls and fanboys going ooo aww EM should have won this nerr nerr. Its fucking annoying slag me off all you wont i aint gonna back down.

I hope you realise your all ignorrant as well and instantly thought that I like all hardcore/screamo etc (shitcore as i like to call it) just because i was pissed off at you fangirls/ fanboy. screw you

Angharad // 22.08.08

"Elliot Minor blatently sent their fans on another attack because they didn't like what they saw."

Fuck you! Elliot Minor havn't even said anything about the awards. Don't take it out on them.
& They arn't like McFly. I hate McFly, and i reckon the touring with McFly was a bad move but shit happens :|

I think people should just calm down about the whole thing now
Its not going to change who won

Lauren // 22.08.08

Screw you right back.

Everyone likes their own music, whatever :/
I never said YOU liked hardcore/screamo I was only saying Elliot Minor were better than that music in my opinion.

grace // 22.08.08

i personally think Elliot Minor deserved this award or Go:Audio

Barker! // 22.08.08

then why even bring it up if i didnt say anything about it , just because gallows won it last year? i dont even care tbh.

I just think people should stop going ooh this band should have won this and that because its a crap thy realy think its gonna change anything?

Lauren // 22.08.08

I don't think any of us want to change anything.
We just want to state our opinions, there's no law against it.

So what? They didn't win, it just seems rather fishy to me...

Mike; Driven, Desire, Delve, Rocket! // 22.08.08

Slaves To Fucking Gravity!

Why have they won? Who are they?

Theyre fucking awsome I might say.

Their music is a world to get lost in, its dynamic and its new. Its not the same bullshit you hear, everysong is like a masterpeice in its own, each song has so much effor and soul in it; its not your standard "Verse Chorus Verse". I mean you think you've got the song all figured out, and then screams tommy with a guitar wailing behind him. with echoing chorus's driving and harmonising his voice, its epic to be fair honest.

I'm appauled, yet not surprised to see that the glammed pop band elliot minor have just been screamed by millions without what I can see a justified reason, i'm sorry if thats hard to take, but they haven't realy pushed any boundry or helped me escape from anything, they haven't blown my mind, or haven't even changed my life in any form, unlike Slaves. I know I sound the conventional fan boy and i'm aware I bombard their myspace with comment or ask them questions that sometimes they just dont have time for, and that yes, when I talked to Tommy over myspace I was like "Holy fuck! Stay cool man!" asif he were some rock god, but in all honesty, I have my justified reason, i'm sure if you've been to a Elliot minor gig, they hide in their bus until its time to play and then just wander off back to their bus or whatever, unlike slaves, who walk around and talk to people, I mean I had what was a breif conversation with Toshi (cause I was that exited I talked at a million miles an hour, haha). They make me feel like im 12 again liking some band and stupidly hailing them to some degree, I mean the fact they actualy know the fuck their fans are, rather than just sitting back and waiting for reviews in kerrang or something. I mean if any of you guys have heard of CKY? They do exactly the same with their music, (theory, not sound) They warp my perception of life and music.

Now; tell me Slaves dont fucking deserve it.

laura // 22.08.08

noooo! Elliott minor should of got that!!!!!

Darn it!

Barker! // 22.08.08

well you seemed pretty uptight about it earlier ( i dont mean that in a rude way sorry). I dont think that the Kerrang! awards are fair either tbh, they're waste of time.

The awards are given to the bands that had the most coverage ? are they not just take a look

Katie. // 22.08.08

K! hate Elliot Minor, which is why they didn't win.
STL are shit. Minor should have WELL taken that award.

You're lucky I love you, Kerrang!.
Because your fucking awards are pissing me off.

Katie. // 22.08.08

K! hate Elliot Minor, which is why they didn't win.
STL are shit. Minor should have WELL taken that award.

You're lucky I love you, Kerrang!.
Because your fucking awards are pissing me off.

chris // 22.08.08

wtf it shud had been out of 3 bands elliot minor go:audio n we are the ocean not tht piece of shit this is so fuckin fake

Katie. // 22.08.08

^ Double post. >.<
And I meant to type 'STG', not 'STL'.

Lauren // 22.08.08

Slaves may have deserved it, i've never said they didn't, it's just each band, each song, means something different to every person.
I've never been to an Elliot Minor gig but that's because I wasn't old enough to go to the last gig, I should be going to the November one though so until then I can't comment on their live performances or what their attitudes are like but all I know is their music to me is amazing and i'll never stop loving it no matter what anyone says.

Barker! // 22.08.08

*sighs and shakes head* go listen to the hall of fame winners (RATM) please.

Bye , some of you are giving me a headache just reading

Mike; Driven, Desire, Delve, Rocket! // 22.08.08

Oh, by the way, a band arn't shit beacuse you've never heard of them...

I tend to listen to the music, not love a band for how well advertised they are.

lu xD // 22.08.08

Elliot Minor Should have fuckin' won.
hands down
STG are shit!

Lauren // 22.08.08

I think it's fair to say these awards were pretty biast. They should be decided by the K! readers and listeners...

charlicharlicharlie // 22.08.08

this whole thing of who won and who didnt is the stupidest thing ive ever seen seriously!

this whole post is by far the most posted on
STG WON.......nobody else did......they obviously deserved it unless they wouldnt have even been nominated............THE END......its not gonna change, now can we move on and all live HAPPY lives

xx

Angharad // 22.08.08

"if you've been to a Elliot minor gig, they hide in their bus until its time to play and then just wander off back to their bus or whatever, unlike slaves, who walk around and talk to people,"

I've been to a number of Elliot Minor gigs, and i've met them at each one.
No, they don't hide in their tourbus until its time to go on.
I saw them a few weeks ago, they were sitting outside talking to us all, and just genuinely having a laugh.
You've clearly never been to a Minor gig, so don't start saying stuff like that about them.


Now everyone, chill out!
Its not the end of the fucking world!!!
and stop saying a load of shit about all the bands

& if you want a genuine reason why 'minor should have one, here it is:
Their music is unique and different. They are talented at what they do and they have changed mine, and most likely a load of others, lives for the better.

???? // 22.08.08

wooooooo stg rock elliot minor suck sock

hayley // 22.08.08

everyone fuck up about elliot minor

?!?! // 22.08.08

ELLIOT MINOR ARE SHIT! they didn't even deserve to be nominated and they don't deserve to be famous, we are the ocean should have won this by a long shot

Gee // 22.08.08

Hmmm.
Ok, STG are Ok, but I would've LOVED to have seen We Are The Ocean win.

Rachael. // 22.08.08

GO:AUDIO SHOULD HAVE WOULD
THEY ARE AMAZING
SO MUCH BETTER THAN THE REST OF THEM!!!!!

Woo // 22.08.08

Guys... for those of you saying 'who the fuck are STG', then think of this as an education in real honest rock music. You now know who they are, so go listen, pay attention and take on board what true, talented musicians sound like....you never know-you all may learn something and GROW THE FUCK UP!!

Joanna // 22.08.08

Pretty Much everyone has established that the Kerrang awards are a fix, Elliot Minor are always played on K. Radio, and always slagged off in K. magazine. Elliot minor are a good rock band, they dont have tons of fans for nothing. They deserved this award more than any other band hands down. I knew they wouldnt win it though because the final desicion was made by Kerrang and not by the voters. Kerrang slagg elliot minor off all the time because they arent heavy metal, and they arent very 'rocky'. But by seeing the amount of comments by elliot minor fans on here it's obvious more people voted for them than any other band. Pretty much 80% of the comments on here are by Elliot minor fans, doesn't that tell you something?

I think everyones got the picture, Kerrang Awards are shite 'cos they are fixed.

Elliot minor deserved that award!

xxx

Sarah // 22.08.08

omggg, we are the ocean should have won, who the fuck are slaves to gravity!?

x x x

sarah // 22.08.08

omgg, we are the ocean shouldve won, who the fuck are slavees to gravity!?

x x x

Roxy // 22.08.08

I'm guna say it AGAIN

WE ARE THE OCEAN SHOULD'VE HAD IT HANDS DOWN!

Haha & thanks to whoever said they loved me for saying that ;)

i've seen them live twice and they were incredible, i was disappointed when i saw Elliot Minor live..& as for the band members themselves..fuckin stuck up or what! At least WATO took the time to talk to their fans and shit whereas Minor buggered off as soon as they'd finished playing!

and as for whoever said 'the heaviest band won' LOL have you heard WATO? Slaves To Gravity is like pop music in comparison..do you homework :P

christina // 22.08.08

i agree with anyone who thinks elliot minor should have got it

spike // 22.08.08

Elliot Minor should have won?????? they are Mcfly with long hair you dumb fucks!!!!

Ayd // 22.08.08

perhaps you should listen to all sorts of music instead of kiddie rock , then you would have heard of slaves to gravity

Helen // 22.08.08

FIX FIX FIX FIX FIX FIX FIX!

Karrang just dont want to look bad because they think EM are a stupid band.

Wankers.

We all know that EM would have won if this vote what not hosted by Karrang.

Peter // 22.08.08

All you Elliot Minor and Go Audio fans are so closed-minded its unbelievable. Just because a band who can actually play their instruments and make decent, hard-rocking music without sounding like every other clone that Kerrang puts in their magazine these days.

And besides, who exactly are Go Audio? If I remember rightly, they were a last minute addition to the Download Festival line-up whose announcement received little attention even with their forays into the singles chart. I haven't read one jot about them since Download until now, and until I read that they've been dropped by the record label.

Slaves To Gravity have to work bloody hard because they don't fit in with this pin-up image the likes of Elliot Minor have. The fact that they even won this award is testament to their hard work and the quality of their music. If none of you can see that, then you and your ideals are all as false as these very awards - the same awards that you once claimed were voted for 'by the fans' when the nominees were announced.

The best band won.

Bex // 22.08.08

Elliot Minor should have won. Hands freakin' down.

We Are the Ocean are an awesome band as well. They'd be my close second.

Lucy // 22.08.08

I voted Go:Audio :(

Rachel // 22.08.08

''as for the band members themselves..fuckin stuck up or what! At least WATO took the time to talk to their fans and shit whereas Minor buggered off as soon as they'd finished playing!''
Oh right, theyre so stuck up that when I went to a gig on the 18th july, they were standing outside for AGES getting pictures with fans and talking to them and the like, I dont know what gig you went to, but Minor usually always try and see some of their fans before and after shows.

And why are people bringing ''pin up image'' into this? Elliot Minor didnt get where they are today cos theyre OMGZZZ LYK SO BUFFTING as some people are like - they've worked hard too. And we're not saying Slaves to Gravity havent worked hard to get where they are either, they are good at what they do, but I'm quite surprised Elliot Minor didnt win after the amount of people I know of that voted for them.

Weeeez. // 22.08.08

who the HELL are Slave To Gravity?!
Go:Audio are so giiiiid!
so are We Are The Ocean.
Gutted.

Becca // 22.08.08

Personally I think that Elliot Minor should've won. They're really talented and friendly, and for people who think they're stuck-up they're not. I've been an Elliot Minor gig and they were outside before and stopped to have pictures and chat for a little bit, and then were outside afterwards. So don't think about saying they're stuck-up and don't care about the fans.

Everyone likes their own band, fine so we should probably just stop arguing now, we can't change it there's no point anymore...

holly roberts // 22.08.08

Slaves to Gravity. A vote for music over image and a real feather in the cap of kerrang. This is a rock magazine not a fucking boy band mag!!!

Roxy // 22.08.08

"And why are people bringing ''pin up image'' into this? Elliot Minor didnt get where they are today cos theyre OMGZZZ LYK SO BUFFTING as some people are like - they've worked hard too."

^^ who the hell mentioned pin up image?! lol

matt // 22.08.08

hahahaha someone said elliot minor were unique!
i wonder why they sound just like mcfly then!
glad a decent band won who are actually rock rather than pop (elliot minor and go:audio. dunno if elliot minor fans have noticed but kerrang is about rock and metal so not even sure why elliot minor were even nominated. i thought we are the ocean should have won but im glad a decent band won instead

Danni // 22.08.08

Oh Good. Atleast Elliot Minor Or Go:Audio Didn't Win It ! xD

Emii // 22.08.08

I Dont Get You Guys Who Are Saying Elliot Minor Sit In They're Bus All Day and Never Come Out
I Dont THink Ive Ever Seen Anyone With Photo's With groups Like MCR And Stuff.
But Ive Seen Loads Of Photo's With Elliot Minor, They're Always Out There Bus.
=S I Dont Get You XDXD

Skittles // 22.08.08

@cloclo and peter:
Fuck you.
Elliot Minor got more votes and you fucking know it.
Kerrang! have been slagging them since the very start and it was a fix. Anyyone with half a brain knows that it was a fix.

Janie B :o) // 22.08.08

Yay STG,
The fact that their videos don't get much airplay on Kerrang! and other rock channels just makes this victory even sweeter. I've been e-mailing these channels for months, begging them to play STG more often and none of them had the decency to even reply(or oblige). If anyone should feel discriminated against it should be these guys. I've heard of them, I've seen them live on more than one occasion, I couldn't wait to buy their cd and I voted for them. They give their all at every show, when we saw them at Rock City, Tommy was really ill and still gave 100% This band care about their fans, care about the music they play and totally deserve this award. If you want your fave bands to win next year, just work a bit harder and vote more - it shows you really care about the outcome.
What's done is done, please stop the juvenile bitching and realise that rock music has something for everyone and it should bring us together not tear us apart.
Share the love <3

CountessBlondiie!...x // 22.08.08

Yay Slaves!
i'm so glad they won. they're awesome. (:
I'm 14, and even i know that slaves to gravity are a hell of alot better than elliot minor. i like them too but STG deserved to win.
Its really retarded how people are hating STG just because they're a better band and deserved to win.
How was it fixed? You have to be pretty stupid to think that.
Also, i find it incredibly PATHETIC that all you Elliot minor fans don't have anything better to do than sit here, and slag off STG just because they're a better band, and because your precious little eliiot minor didn't win.
Grow up.
you're all really sad tbh.
LoveToSlaves!! <33

penny // 22.08.08

So happy STG won......well mainly just happy Elliot minor (who are crap) didnt win it!

Madii // 22.08.08

Oh...my...God...no... Elliot Minor should've won that =[ even Go:Audio would've been better

...and EM are rock/pop, indie rock and classical =/

Ema // 22.08.08

i srsly dont understand it!!
Elliot minor, go:audio, ANYONE!!!

Fucktard!
GET. A. FUCKIN. LIFE!

Sttaaaaaaccceeeyyyyy // 22.08.08

Madii // 22.08.08

Yeah...who exactly are these Slaves dudes? Yeah, nice for thhm that they won and all but really that Madina dude don't know his/her stuff... It blatantly says everywhere what style EM are. You can tell others to stop slagging of STG but what's the point really if you're gonna be slagging off another band? =\

pezzzaaaa // 22.08.08

omg! everyone STFU about elliot minor! there a sodding piss poor pop band, the only people that like them are 14 yr old wannabe scene kids who call them emo and think their cool, im glad slaves to gravity won it, but i still would have rather see we are the ocean or dead swans win, theres to many wannabe emo bands around

moth // 22.08.08

dont care who won though you guys seem to be getting pretty emotional why are you all arguing so much. fuck me

DAV // 22.08.08

WE ARE THE OCEAN SHOULD HAVE WON. FAILING THAT GO:AUDIO

slaves to gravity are F*****g s**t

these awards have been alot of poo

Roxy // 22.08.08

Totally agree with you Dav!

Cathyyyyy // 22.08.08

Tbff i was expecting EM to win. Or at least WATO or Go:Audio.
I personally haven't heard of Slaves to Gravityy. But i'm not gonna say anything about them cause i've never heard their music.

Obvvss. KERRANG staff had a LOT of say in this. Cause Minor fans worked their butts off to get votes for them.

And they should just let the public votes count end of.

But come on;; we know that all the bands that were nominated are good ones. and we dont need a kerrang award to prove that! This isn't going to stop our loyalty to our bands it's just gonna make us stronger!
The bands know we've worked hard for them and they appreciate that!
Lets not ruin it by slagging other bands off.

Loveyouu(:

xxxxx

Robynnn // 22.08.08

OMG! shut the hell up. god elliot minor should not have won at all.
WATO are amazing the should have .. actually so are STG . and the other bands apart from elliot minor... they are SHIT.

Get over it (:

Tobyy // 23.08.08

FUCK YEAH SLAVES OF GRAVITY.

I cant stand all these emo fags. Wtf, elliot minor? Buster with violins. Fucking fags.

SLAVES FUCKING RULE.

Mel-ZAH // 23.08.08

Ive Heard Of All The Bands That Were Nominated Apart From The Band That Actually Won.
How The Hell Does That Work Out?
I Voted For Elliot Minor Everyday
And Im Sure The Other 'Minor Fans Did
That To!
This Really Isnt Fair!
Elliot Minor Really Should Have Won!
Theres Only Like 5 People That Have Commented Saying That They Are Glad That Slaves To Gravity
Won. Most Of The People Commenting Are Saying How Much Elliot Minor Should Have Won And If Slaves To Gravity Have Such Fans That Constontly Voted For Them Then Why Arnt There More On Here Trying To Back Up The Band! Its Obvious That Elliot Minor Should Have Won!

Lemmmm // 23.08.08

YES!
Slaves to Gravity deserved that,
all of you are commenting, you can't even SAY anything because you've never given them a chance and listened to them. They are one fo the best bands on that list, so glad they got it.

jon // 23.08.08

feck off we are the ocean should of won. slaves to gravity are awful. in my opinion anyways

Jasmine V // 23.08.08

Who lives there life on myspace slaves to gravity won get a grip honestly. Anyway i voted 200 times for them check them out there call. Oh and there not the heaviest band my family had 4 computers voting all day long for them just get a life an get off your computer. Have a fucking normal life............................

Jasmine V // 23.08.08

Also why dont you crawl back to youre my space and get off this there not even botherd wat you say anyway!

Janie B :o)) // 23.08.08

I can see this battle is going to rage on and on...sadly:o(
There are always bands we love, bands we don't rate and those we've never heard of. I have to admit to never hearing a single track (to my knowledge) of Dead Swans or WATO but does that give me the right to dismiss them as being rubbish? No, I don't think it does! Just because you haven't heard a band today, does not mean you won't love them tomorow. I don't understand why you are all being such sore losers over this, I realise that it matters to you, that's obvious, just as it mattered to me that STG won and I also spent a lot of time voting for them, but this kind of behaviour just plays into the hands of people like the Daily Mail, who want to make out that our music is negative and only breeds hate and I know that isn't the case. So c'mon y'all, lets kiss and make up. This music is important to all of us and as I said before, it's supposed to bring us together, not rip us apart. Maybe next year EM will win something, or maybe by then you simply won't even care whether they do or not! In the MEANTIME, just enjoy the music and make it a POSITIVE influence in your life.
Pleeese :o)

Bethyy // 23.08.08

SLAVES TO GRAVITY ARE SHIT

We are the ocean should have easily won that award

pffft people dont know music these days

Ell // 23.08.08

Elliot Minor are shit 2bf.
plus, they were big like, 2 yers ago.
Dead swans are sickk,
but slaves to gravity are mint, i ust checked them out.
Gutted, wanted We Are The Ocean to win.

tom // 23.08.08

finally an actual rock band wins an award from a rock magazine.

go:audio sound the same as every other scene band - shit.

Tommy // 23.08.08

Am I the only one who thinks slaves to gravity deserved this?
Elliot Minor just arn't that good, and they don't make music worthy to be in Kerrang!

Tom Dryden Mayte // 23.08.08

Elliot Minor should not even have been there, Kerrang used to be all about decent music that blistered your ear drums beyond belief, because that was simply what made people feel good.
Elliot Minor blisters my eardrums for a different reason, it sucks. Extremely narrow-minded songwriting for extremely narrow-minded individuals like yourselves. I'm glad that other band won, it shows us that there is still some hope for the music industry, and we're not being showered incessantly by monotonous (figuratively speaking of course) music that has nothing behind the generic structure.
Of course it would be ironic if the winning band, whatever they're called, I can't be arsed checking, were in fact similar to Elliot Minor. Then my whole argument would be entirely in vain and I'd look like a bit of a Googus. Here's hoping.

And yes, I said Googus.

CountessBlondiie!...x // 23.08.08

Reply to "Tom Dryden Mayte"

No, Slaves to gravity are nothing like EM. They Suck, and slaves Rock.
they're amazing, and anyone that hasnt heard of them, before you go slagging them of coz your precious EM didn't win, check Slaves out, coz, here's a mad idea: you might just like Slaves more than EM.
That wud be tragic for you to get real taste in music, wouldn't it?
and no, im not slagging EM off, i like them too, but STG are by far a MUCH better band.
LoveToSlaves! xo

jokes // 23.08.08

i just want to congratulate you on using the word googus. i have no idea what it means but it made me fucking laugh, unlike the rest of the tits on here who are breaking down in their bedrooms because elliot minor lost.

emma // 23.08.08

omgggg what..... we are the ocean should have won!!!!! or if not go audio!

Aaaron // 23.08.08

Tbh, Elliot Minor SHould have Won.

But Go:Audio Shouldnt have even be nominated?
Rock awards? Fuck that, if Go:Audio are in it, fucking Mcfly wannabe's

mr n mrs nutter // 23.08.08

SLAVES DESERVE THIS MORE THAN ANYONE !!!!!!!!!

(: // 23.08.08

WATO should've had it!!

Failing that, Dead Swans...then maybe EM...then Slaves and last Go:Audio (their music sounds like pop stuff...LAME)

ste // 23.08.08

go audio shuld have got tht

Shannen // 23.08.08

WHAT?!!?! elliot minor should have got it. DEFO!
who ahs heard of the gallows?
ive heard like one song and tbh;; it wasnt very good.
im constantly watching k! and the gallows are NEVER on!!
its a fix. im sorry. but it is.
is this because elliot minor and k! didnt get on at the start?
i think so...
ELLIOT MINOR SHOULD HAVE WON BY FAR!

shannen // 23.08.08

sorry. every time i said the gallows. i ment slaves (:

doesn't matter // 23.08.08

how can slaves to gravity win?
i mean no one have never even heard of them...
okay, maybe like 6 persons, but it doesn't matter.

what i'm trying to say is, have no one ever read the comments?

ELLIOT MINOR SHOULD HAVE WON!
JUST FACE THE FACT!

STG rock! // 23.08.08

HAHAHAHAHA ELLIOT MINOR ARE SHIIIIT!!!!!!!

Sam // 23.08.08

all of you shut the fuck up.
you're all so lame Elliot Minor are pop.
not rock, they so should NOT have won.
congrats to ever the hell it was that beat the sissys

Ruby // 23.08.08

Roisin // 23.08.08

BOOO GALLOWSSS
i was tied between elliot minor and we are the ocean GALLOWS FUCKING SUCK !!!!!!!!!!!1111

Janie B =^.^= // 23.08.08

Blimey! What a venomous lot you Elliot Minor Fans are!! I'm sure The band would appreciate having loyal followers but honestly, do you really think the guys will be best pleased with your attitudes towards othe musicians? I'm guessing those of you who have left the nastiest comments about STG are mostly under 16 right? Thought so, nuff said. ;D

Charli // 23.08.08

" unlike an EM show were its full of girls (this entire comment board proves thus theory), a STG show has people of all age groups and all gender categories."

Clearly you've never been to an Elliot Minor show. Anyone who has been to one will tell you that the majority of the audience AREN'T girls. Just like what you say an STG audience is like, theres a variety of guys and girls of ALL ages. Like the last EM show I was at, this huge guy, at least 25, if not older, with crazy hair, dressed all in black with studded bracelets and whatever, who looked like he'd be into Children of Bodom or something came and stood next to me, and he was having a proper good time, singing all the words and everything.
So before you make assumptions like that, you should experience it for yourself, which is what one of the 'Minor guys themselves said when some other person was stereotyping pretty much all of their female fans on their MySpace.
Ok, once again, the award went to probably the least known band, and in the end, none of our votes for them counted. The Kerrang staff were NEVER going to choose Elliot Minor, and there's nothing we can do about that. But Elliot Minor don't need some piece of metal to know how much we appreciate them.
I'm not going to say that I hate STG because I've never heard them and I don't know what they're all about. If you like them, fine. But I think people saying that Elliot Minor are just shit or didn't deserve to win need to get a bit of respect. We like them, end of.

Sian // 23.08.08

Urgh, who the hell are they??
Elliot Minor soooo should have won!! At least people have heard of 'Minor. At least 'Minor are good.. ;)
Hugs and kisses,
Sian.
xox

Carolyn // 23.08.08

If you think Elliot Minor shouldn't have been nominated WHY do they get their videos shown on Kerrang!? I've seen EM several times and they are an excellent live band. And by the way....i'm not under 16.....i'm not even under 30!!

LOL // 23.08.08

Oh all you fools.
Elliot Minor are, quite possibly, the worlds crappiest rock band.
Slaves To Gravity make brilliant music, and it's nice to see a real hardworking band with real music, who don't care about fashion, winning something. Slaves To Gravity and Coheed & Cambria are the REAL stars of this awards.

moth // 23.08.08

hi to carolyn glad im not the only female arguing whos older then 30.

Hannah // 23.08.08

oh dear god look at all that

STOP ARGUING

silly people, it isnt worth it - and im sorry but some of you Minor fans are giving us all a bad name
they didnt get the award yeah its sad but get over it

sheeesh!

gemma // 23.08.08

Elliot Minor need to win this year
and Go:Audio should be runner up
but Elliot Minor to win
And Elliot Minor should have won last year!
Elliot Minor Rock!

gemma // 23.08.08

Elliot Minor need to win this year
and Go:Audio should be runner up
but Elliot Minor to win
And Elliot Minor should have won last year!
Elliot Minor Rock!
and i agree with hannah^^^
elliot minor deserve us fans support!
we need to be strong for them!

gemma! // 24.08.08

im an elliot minor fan myself but guys all of this name calling is not cool! gallows won end of...i can't judge them coz i've never heard any of their stuff but im sure elliot minor has a fighting chance this year right? so what are you all worried about?! Elliot minor don't need awards to show them how much we love them, they need our support! And whoever up there said that the majority of elliot minor fans at concerts were girls has obviously never been to one because when i went there wer just as many guys as girls, coz you don't have to be a girl to like an all boy band, me being a girl and an elliot minor fan am proud to be what i am! and can't be bothered with sexist remarks to elliot minor fans! thank-you very much! elliot minor rock and don't deserve to have bad comments written about them! and why is everone sating that kerrang hate elliot minor because they might not elliot minor are often in kerrang magazin eon on kerrang TV!...but as for who decides on the final vote i think it should be up to the voters and not the kerrang staff! any other Tv voting show its up to the audience at home! no the show staff themselfs! fans have final say, says i! all you name callers should be ashamed!

Alice // 24.08.08

WTF tbh no-ones ever heard of them
should have at least been Elliot Minor ot Go:audio!

chelsea // 24.08.08

i dont think any of you know what you are talking about
elliot minor wtf they are terrible

WE ARE THE FUCKING OCEAN!
without a doubt shouldve won that hands down

foxy // 24.08.08

fuck elliot minor and slaves to gravity !! there shit.
we are the ocean were robbed!
wato (L)

Owen // 24.08.08

You do realise it says "Best Newcomer" not "Whos had the most publicity." So the dumbfuck(s) (i didnt read every comment afterall) that have made stupid comments like "Who the fuck are.." "They've not even been on tv" It doesn't matter, you dont have to have loads of publicity to be popular... this isnt pop.

I personally would of liked to see We Are The Ocean win it.

Owen // 24.08.08

Oh, and stop saying hands down. You all sound like fucking sheep.

Owen (again) // 24.08.08

Sorry about triple posting now, i should of really read more comments and ranted all in one comment. Anyway, it seems most people havn't actually understood what 2007 winner means =\ As ive been scrolling through the commments, it's either insults about Elliot Minor or Gallows. Why Gallows is even mentioned points out those who just came here to rant (ive just came here to rant) and they havn't even bothered to read the results properly.

The same stupidity goes for the Elliot Minor bashing, I dont really like the band but for fucks sake is there any need to insult the band fans? Or come out with "OMG THEY ARE SHIT" everyone has thier own tastes, obviously that isn't yours. But simply saying that they are shit shows that you have no appreciation to music and you are just a blind motherfucker (thought i'd end on a nice note)

End of rant.

Janie B =^.^= // 24.08.08

I'm really glad that people are begining to make sense at last.
ALL THESE BANDS DESERVED TO BE NOMINATED!
THEY ALL WORK THEIR BUTTS OFF TO GET WHERE THEY ARE!
It's not fair to slag anyone off,whether they win or lose- that's what I've been saying since my very first comment.
It makes me sad and I'm sure it makes the band members sad too, to see all you folks tearing into each other over this.
I'm thrilled that STG won but if someone else had got the award I wouldn't be crying "FIX"
I believe what is meant by "the decision of the Kerrang! staff is final" is not that THEY decide who wins, but it means that when all the votes are counted, there will be no re-counts and all the moaning in the world will not alter the outcome. Maybe someone from Kerrang! would like to clarify exactly what the phrase means?
Any way, I think this may be MY final rant. Oh Yeah, and I'm glad too that I'm not the only female metal fan out there who's well over 30 and now taking my own 14 yr old daughter to see these bands, it's something we both love doing and it brings us together - just as music should.
Let's stop the band bashing now and the fan bashing too, there is always next year, this year is what it is. Many congrats to STG xx
Big hugz to all bands and fans alike - this is our music, don't let anyone spoil it.

annie fray // 24.08.08

For all those of you who insist EM should have won this award, can I remind you that Kerrang! is a ROCK magazine not a BOY BAND magazine. Can you really see EM on the same awards stage as Metallica/Slipknot/RATM? I think not. Know your place. STG were totally the right winners

moth // 24.08.08

owen and janie b you both make a very good point. im taking my kids to see serj tankian next week oh and scars on broadway and bfmv soon and yes everyone should stop slagging everyone off we all like different music just as we all like different food or films or anything else. the world would be a boring place if everyone liked the same shit.

Lee Gray // 24.08.08

elliot minor should of won it.. its a fix!!

Slaves To Gravity // 24.08.08

Hey everyone... Firstly we'd like to say a huge thank you to everyone who voted for us. We were so flattered and grateful just to be nominated, let alone win the award. We are well aware that we were the underdogs going into this and honestly didn't expect to win. Musically we are doing something different to the other nominees and we understand that makes is harder for you guys to understand what we do and much easier to just write us off.... Anyway, we know a lot of you are disappointed your band of choice didn't win. It's a good thing that you all have such a passion for the music you love - thats something we really relate to and respect - but any suggestions that the awards were rigged really are a bit ridiculous. Instead of ranting and raging on this little forum, why not send us a friend request on myspace, take a listen to our music, and maybe get into a new band! Variety is the spice of life, amigo's. Thanx again for your support.
Big Love
STG x.

xxxxxxxxxxzoexxxxxxxxx // 24.08.08

i LOVE Go:Audio to bits and elliot minor y the hell did Go:Audio not get it !!!!!!!!

Twikki // 24.08.08

Rachel // 24.08.08

Ok I'm a fan of Elliot Minor & Slaves To Gravity so i'm happy to Slaves To Gravity for winning but Elliot Minor did their best!

Samantha // 24.08.08

OMG! Elliot Minor should have won! Or at least Go:Audio!!

Lee // 24.08.08

Congrats to STG. Good job!

My vote was for WATO but they'll go far anyway.

Clodagh // 24.08.08

WHAT THE HELL!!! ELLIOT MINOR SHOULD HAVE WON THAT!! NO ONE HAS EVEN HEARD OF THAT BAND WHO WON!!!! THAT IS SO UNFAIR!!!

Lawr // 24.08.08

What!
Funeral For A Friend are shit!
We Are The Ocean so ftw!
If not Elliot Minor or GO:audio!

jam // 24.08.08

what are you talking about you fucking retard!? Maybe YOU haven't heard of them, but YOU aren't everyone. STG all the way!

x // 24.08.08

but they're a boyband...

Freya // 24.08.08

X ! You are entitled to your own opinion I'm not into slating other bands, each to their own!!! Call Go audio what you like they are truly awesome, and fantastic live xx

Lisa // 24.08.08

Yay I'm glad they won.
Cos now it means there are a lot of Elliot Minor fans upset :D

Jodie // 24.08.08

I would have prefered We Are The Ocean to win but meh, nothing we can do about it now :)

lea // 24.08.08

I like elliot minor, but are they really a new comer for 2008, I thought their first single was released back in march 2007? Anyway well done to the winners I'm sure kerrang had their reasons for their decision, who are they again?

Tashaaa // 24.08.08

WHAT THE HELL?
Its such a fix (by the looks of it elliot minor would of been voted for the most)
has anyone even heard of slaves to gravity?!

WATO ARE AMAZING THEY SHOULD HAVE WON,
and if not elliot minor or Go:audio.

Kerrang can go suck my balls.

Kerle // 24.08.08

As if Elliot Minor didn't win!
I voted over tones for 'em.

Jack // 24.08.08

Elliot Minor deserved that for a top quality album and all their great live performences, theyve been cheated =P

chris // 24.08.08

STG are awesome and will be HUGE. What the hell were a pop band like Elliot Minor doing in a Kerrang poll anyway?

stephaniie // 24.08.08

hahahaha, why are elliot minor on kerrang? their dirty little poppy kids.
x

alice // 24.08.08

elliot minor didn't win because they are shit.

dead swans didn't win because the majority of the readers of this magazine are dicks...

Owen // 24.08.08

Okay,so everyone bar three people that have posted after me must not of read my comment. Remember people; whats more of a fix, a band winning because of the people constantly voting(also same person voting continusly) for them and them winning on bieng the most popular. Or the judges results to be final, where they tally up the votes and see who is the BEST.
Best doesnt mean the most popular, when you lot can drill that in your heads you will see that 2/3 of these comments on this page is pointless.

Also i would like to say to those who are parents who take thier children to gigs for music like this,(Rock/Metal etc) you are awesome. My dad would never go to such gigs with me.I'm sure your children appreciate it and find it cool that thier parents share a music taste with them. =)

moth // 24.08.08

i love your comments owen im takin my kids to some good concerts coming up serj scars bullet to name a few. have you actually asked your parents to take you maybe they would enjoy it. and yeah my kids do appreciate it havin a mum that likes the same the music that they like. when i was a kid i just wanted to rebel against my parents so im glad they dont hate me. keep loving music and always stay true to yourself

Owen // 24.08.08

Ah my dad hates metal, besides at my age i would much prefer to go with friends. But, as a younger lad -15 it would of been good. And my dads 50, i dont expect him to be into the same music as me.
I suppose you can consider yourself "In with the kids" =\ Even though music doesn't have age restrictions. Anyway, rebelling against the parents doesn't mean you hate them, its just how kids cope with thier "Teen Angst" =\
You could always punish them if they do by making them listen to back street boys or something (Modern day parenting and what not, as you can't hit them anymore).

Mel-ZAH // 24.08.08

People Should Really Calm Down!
I No How People Are Feeling
But There Really Isnt Any Point
In Arguing And Slating Other Bands
Over It.
We Should Really Just Say Well Done
Slaves To Gravity And Just Hope That The Band We Wanted To Win Does Better Next Time.
Its Done. Its Finished. We Cant Change How It All Turned Out Now!

Before You Go Mouthing Off About How Rubbish A Band Is You Should Really Think About It Before Because I Bet Most Of The People Saying How Crap Elliot Minor Are Havent Really Given Them A Chance Or Maybe They Just Arent Your Type Of Music But By Announcing How Much You Hate Them Just Makes You Look Like A Right Dick And The Same For Everyone Saying About Slaves Of Gravity
Either Give Them A Chance Or Shut Up And Move On!

Elliot Minor And Go:Audio Fan =]

moth // 24.08.08

hi owen my teenage kids are standing behind me shouting in my ears you seem really sweet. try playing your music to your parents maybe the will like it. fuck ok im not quite 50 but im in my 30s theres no age limit to loving music just try to convert them gently... love to you and your family

Owen // 24.08.08

I was playing Bullet For My Valentine at my dads, he wasn't impressed at all. In fact he thought i may be becomming suicidle just because i started listening to metal (I'm like the most upbeat lad you would ever meet.) So yeah, thats a miss, and my mum isn't the kind of person to listen to such music. I don't mind though, I listen to what i think is good, they listen to they want. I give people bands to listen to all the time, its up to them if they want to hear more.

But yeah, even though your not old i bet you still use "You're lucky as when i was a kid... blah blah" "Back in my day" etc. Its just what parents do ( More common in males than females though)
Still, you should still remind them that back in your day hitting kids was alowed it will soon shut them up =P

J // 25.08.08

Well I`m 51 and really grateful to my daughter for introducing me to Slaves To Gravity,and taking me to one of their gigs,they are deserved winners of this award due to their AWESOME live sets,packed with energy and Pure quality tracks taken from their Gobsmackingly brilliant album "Scatter the Crow" and the sheer hard work they`ve put in traipsing the length and breadth of the UK several times over,and gathering new fans at every gig,-undisputable worthy winners who`ve worked their butts off, and yeah! I rank MCR as my ultimate fave band - love that band,along with Avenged Sevenfold,and yeah! I`m beginning to question the fans of the losing bands,they all appear to be acting pretty childish,they can`t be doing Elliot Minor any favours as they must be embarrassing them with this overeaction.

Owen // 25.08.08

Also, I think I should add. Mel made a good point about given bands a chance, ive just spent a good amount of time listening to each of the bands nominated as i hadn't heard of a few. I must admit Slaves To Gravity deserve the award, and i would put Elliot Minor runners up (I dont even like Elliot Minor) on thier ability to make "Hits" as they would say (songs that are upbeat and you can listen to what ever mood you are in etc.)

Quoting J:
"I`m beginning to question the fans of the losing bands,they all appear to be acting pretty childish"

I would imagine that most people that have posted on here are actually children, so it's to be expected. I suppose you can't really have decent music talk without such comments as above on the interenet.

moth // 25.08.08

lol i love your comments bout back in my day ... sorry dude but why do you keep on goin on about slapping kids ive never done that anyway back to your other comment... omfg bfmv they are awesome you have such good taste dude i should adopt you what other bands dyo like and i really need to meet your parents put them on and let them alk to me .... ok let me calm down down sorry i am so passionate about music but i am a good parent my eldest daughter has just recieved her gcse results and she got 12 a *s whoa i love you dude

Owen // 25.08.08

My dad would often tell me about bieng hit with the cane and what not, so i just see it as natural adult banter.

Humm bands i like: Killswitch, Bullet, Black Tide, Fightstar, Forever Never, Disturbed, Led Zep, LP etc. But i also listen to indy music, and others like Daft Punk, M83., Joy Devision, Radiohead, Interpol.
(I reccomend everyone here to listen to these if you aren't already)

Also congrates on having such a smart daughter, she will be raking in the cash. She will be the one paying for gigs when shes older ;)

moth // 25.08.08

oh owen you have such awesome taste in music and my daughter sends her regards.. its so nice to speak to someone who is o the same wavelengh as me and yeah i like your indie recomendations there too you will go far dude with or withot your parents blessing get back to me soon

J // 25.08.08

Quote Owen above "I would imagine that most people that have posted on here are actually children, so it's to be expected. I suppose you can't really have decent music talk without such comments as above on the interenet."
Yeah! I think you`re right,sometimes it descends into some sort of kindergarten on here,and you question whether they are actual music fans or kiddywinkies crying into their McDonald thickshakes because their band that the industry has brainwashed them with has`nt won. I actually find it refreshing when someone breaks away and has an intelligent comment to make.

Dan And Josh // 25.08.08

ELLIOT MINOR SHOULD HAVE WON!!!!!!

(apparently thats the popular opinion)

J // 25.08.08

Quote from Dan and Josh above -"ELLIOT MINOR SHOULD HAVE WON!!!!!!"
(So why did Slaves to Gravity have the popular vote?)
if Slaves to Gravity won with the larger vote, where were Elliot Minor fans with their votes if they were such avid fans?
Being a big fan of Slaves to Gravity, I`m actually pretty grateful to the Elliot Minor fans on here with their relentless wingeing on, as the focus and attention you keep giving to Slaves to Gravity is brilliant as you`re unwittingly forcing people to go and check Slaves out to see what the commotion is all about and taking the attention off your beloved Elliot Minor, I`m sure Elliot Minor arn`t best pleased at all with the free exposure you`re giving Slaves and the childish manner in which their fans are behaving.

Ally // 25.08.08

Well done STG, you totally deserved to win it. Well done K! for actually picking a genuinly excellent band!!


Roxy // 25.08.08

I find it amusing how people are STILL ranting on how Elliot Minor should've won.

Guess what kids...THE AWARDS ARE OVER & THE DECISION IS FINAL!

You all sat on here bitching about other bands isn't guna change the results nor is it helping your band.

At the end of the day Slaves To Gravity won and i have to admit even though i'm not keen on their music, they deserved to win just as much as ay of the other bands!

Clearly those of you that are still on here ranting, need to go find something else to do, or better still if it bothers you that much..go tell it to Kerrang! Whats the point in crying about it being a fix on here when you could so something about it.

Now just chill people! lol

nat // 25.08.08

well said Roxy
anyway, in case you hadn't noticed the Kerrang awards tend to be given out to more hardcore bands (I s'pose with the exception of 30stm & mcr in previous years euw), not bands like elliot minor who are balancing on one toe on the line between mcfly and rock.

Stop moaning Slaves to Gravity deserved it just as much as you kiddies think EM did.
And might I add if you haven't heard of StG then you need to spend less of your time dedicated to kerrang.

TQ // 25.08.08

And how many of you noticed that STG actually posted a comment on here?
Tommy, J, Toshi and Mark.........you deserve it big style

Dont suppose you'll be supporting Elliot Minor any time soon....lol

cazzie\\ // 25.08.08

NO WAY ... they SUCK

GO:Audio or elliot minor well should have won

K! awards are so fixed

Jennaa;;* // 25.08.08

Garrrd who the fuck are they!
Elliot Minor seriously should of won and im not just saying that! Theyve worked SOOO hard for this and then bloody Slaves Of Gravity won! Who the hell are they anyway?!
Garrd im serious about this because Elliot Minor are some of the nicest people in England! They were so kind and really funny when i met them so they really deserved to win!
Im sticking with the EM kids you rule!
But as for the people sayin that Elliot Minor shouldnt of won anyway this is what i have to say to you: 'SHUT THE HELL UP!' no offence like but they should of won hands down so lets face it they had it in the bag!
And to be honest i was there voting for them,, infact 37 times ;]
And i aint bitching, im telling the truth!
But i have spent time and listened to all these bands (those ones ive never heard of before) and they are all good but Elliot Minor should of won and the Go:Audio as runners up!
Ok im gunna shut up noww ;] xxxxxxxxxx

Jay // 25.08.08

serious wat is this about i wanted WE ARE THE OCEAN to win but i would of been happy for go:audio or even elliot minor but stg wat kinda rubbish must be wrong not alot of people are gonna vote for them are they.

Jennaa;;* // 25.08.08

Why the hell was i putting 'Slaves Of Gravity'!? Garrd im stupid ill just put it right noww : Sleves TO Gravity ;]

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Owen // 25.08.08

Jenna, read my comments. It has nothing to do who is nice or not. Also, nothing is fixed, no one should of won hands down.

So if you are going to comment, please put something other than "blah blah should of won" "Blah blah fixed" "blah blah shit" As this page is full of them.
Also those who aren't saying that, please restrain from bieng condensending to us "Kids"

sarah // 25.08.08

i wanted it to either be elliot minor or Go:audio =[

laura // 25.08.08

stg obviously have more fans than you think.
& well done to them for winning! :D

you say elliot minor are really nice guys & have worked hard & deserve it & all that...
well, same with slaves to gravity!

Lian // 26.08.08

whhhhaaaat elliot minor should have won that!!
who the fuck ARE slaves of gravity!?!?!!?!

Crimsontearsjim // 26.08.08

WHAT WHO ARE THIS BAND

AND MORE TO THE POINT ELLIOT MINOR ARE SHIT!!

WE ARE THE OCEAN SHOULD HAVE GOT THIS!

Ierostyle // 26.08.08

Well I question wether these people who say who are Slaves to Gravity have actually read Kerrang recently or watched the TV channel, if you actually take time to read the magasine properly you will see that Kerrang has featured Slaves more than once with rave reviews everytime. I saw Slaves To Gravity live in Southampton earlier this year and must say they are one of the best bands I've ever seen, very uniqque and a real breath of fresh air. I hope that the people who don't know who they are do go and actually listen to Slaves to Gravity, there rapidly increasing fanbase is a huge testament to a band truely deserving the success that they deserve. Elliot Minor, well they obviouisly didn't deserve the award cause if they did they would have one it
Elliot Minor fans think of it this was, hopefully for you guys Elliot Minor will improve and come back with better material than they have now as a result, think of it as not winning perhaps will give them the motivation they need?
But please calm down and stop acting like children, your just making yourselves look silly and well to be repetetiv e, childish with all the "wtf Elliot Minor should have won" coments
Ierostyle

josh // 26.08.08

wtf y didnt elliot minor win most people think they should dat is sooo wrong

Elliot // 26.08.08

TOTALLY AGREE WITH IEROSTYLE
you elliot minor fans should grow up :)

DEAD SWANS ARE MUCH BETTER.

Jenn // 26.08.08

Slaves To Gravity???

How the fuck did that happen?
I thought Elliot Minor had it in the bag =[
Ah well, Elliot Minor don't need an award to prove to people that they're great musicians...and there's always next year!

Anna // 26.08.08

Should have been We Are The Ocean or GO:Audio.
Who Actually Are Slaves To Gravity??? No one knows!
Elliot Minor shouldn't have won though. They're not exactly 'newcomers' are they?

paddy // 26.08.08

kk

i'll agree they shouldnt have won

but stop goin on about elliot fuckin minor

they
are
shite

nothing good about generic, mcfly bumming bollocks that only weakens the british music scene

Dead Swans

J // 27.08.08

I agree with "Ierostyle" Slaves to Gravity have featured several times in Kerrang of late,with them giving them high ranking,but there is a point ,should Elliot Minor be up for a vote in a Rock-based magazine? from the podcast at the Awards night, the fans shouting outside for Elliot Minor appear to average 14-16yra in age.

// 27.08.08

EW SKANK!!!
Elliot Minor or Go:Audio!
Who voted for this??

chad // 27.08.08

who the fuck are slaves to gravity? :S
should have been wato's x

JIMMY // 27.08.08

eliot minor never on this earth deserve any award they sux so bad on cd and live!

Olivia // 27.08.08

You know, even though I've never heard of Slaves to gravity, THANK FUCK ELLIOT MINOR DIDN'T WIN. :D

Janie B // 27.08.08

I too noticed that STG have posted a lovely comment and I know they really are genuinely overwhelmed to get this award, well done again guys, you soooo deserve this for all your hard work.
I'm in my 40's now Moth, and like you I am taking my 14 yr old to see some amazing gigs in the remainder of this year, Dragon Force, Airbourne, Taste of Chaos tour and today I've just booked us tickets for Slipknot and can't wait to see COB and the Mighty Machine Head again with them. I appreciate that heavy metal isn't everyones cup of char but I've been into metal since the first time I heard Black Sabbath in the early seventies and I'm sorry but once you get a love of power chords and a nice heavy riff, it never really leaves you no matter how old you get. My daughter and I love My Chem to bits also BFMV, The Used, Trivium, A7X and the list goes on. There's something for everyone in metal right from the more pop oriented stuff through to the most gut churning, brain shattering, nerve shredding heaviness this planet can provide,that's what I've always loved about it. I need my head banging on an hourly basis or else I'm just not human.
I'm sorry Owen that you couldn't get your dad
into metal but it seems you've made your way ok on your own and all credit to you for that. I'ts never been easy to be a metal fan but it's one of the best "families" you can belong to so again, lets stop the fighting between fans and pull it all together.
Big love to all and STG, you rule!x

Spooky // 27.08.08

for all those wanting elliot fucking minor to win, you sad fucks they suck. we are the ocena should win tbh, the rest suck

minor fan // 27.08.08

ppl r say tht STG shud of won it coz of they hard work thts a load of shit coz elliot minor hav worked 10x as hard so get a hold of yourselfs EM shud of won hands down


and kerrang hate elliot minor anyways so y shud they let them win KERRANG SUCK LIKE STG

moth // 27.08.08

janie b your comments are awesome you have just summed up what music is all about. so nice to see people passionate about music. we will always have likes and dislikes to each other but we should embrace diversity and continue to be inspired by music. couldent live without it certainly saved my life.

Ryan // 28.08.08

Never heard of the band the won but glad that Elliot Minor didnt win cos they're shit! In my opinion We Are The Ocean or Evita should of won.

kerrang fan // 28.08.08

go:audio should of won there the best

Wilow // 28.08.08

OMG WHO R THESE PEOLE???!!!!!
ELLIOT MINOR SO SHOULD HAVE WON AT LEAST PEOPLE HAV HEARD OF THEM N THEY ROCK!!!!!!!
THAT IS SO FIXED COS HARDLY ANYONE HAS SED ANYTHING ABOUT THE WINNERS! MAYBE THEYR JUST REALY RICH N PAID KERRANG LOADS!!!!!
ELLIOT MINOR DONT FEEL BAD LOOK AT ALL THESE PEOPLE WHO WANTED U 2 WIN!!!!!! XXX

Ryan // 28.08.08

Ok i just gave Slaves to Gravity a listen and they're actually a really good band! From early comparisons im finding it hard to compare them with anyone but bands such as Queens of the Stone Age and Audioslave come to mind. At the end of the day Elliot Minor are a fad who are living off the fame of MCR (who in themselves exploited them emo culture). I dont mind MCR but they're shit live, mainly cos they're fans dont do nothing. As I said earlier i though WATO should of won before but after giving STG a listen i can fully see why they won. A bit like Black Tide they show maturity of a much more expierianced rock band and this is probably just the break they need. As for the other bands I dont mind Go:Audio but lets face they're also a fad and bands such as You Me At 6 are much better at doing the same thing. As for people slagging off Gallows, they're an amazing band, but to expieriance Gallows you have to see them live. It will be like nothing you've ever seen before. But well done to Slaves To Gravity, im sure il see you live at somepoint, but theres no way im going to see you with Aiden.

Chloe // 28.08.08

I don't get how Slaves fo Gravity won...cause in the first place noones actually heard of them and secondly everyones saying how Elliot Minor should have won and it looks as if loads voted for them....so it does seem kind of dodgey.
Gutted Elliot Minor or Go:Audio didn't win though cause theyre both amazing.

Daizy // 28.08.08

are you out of your effin mind!?
minor so deserved to win that award they ARE the best by far and the fact that hardly anyone hass heard of slaves to gravity [i'ev heard there songs but there aload of crap in my opinion], also the fact that i voted for minor like 40 times aday D<
well pissed off now.
AND to that ryan dude, Elliot Minor are not a fad living of the fame of MCR they are a effin amazing band talented as hell do a fucking awesome live show and are a crowd pleaser. and the fact that there genuinly lovely guys so shove that up your ass you retard!

acctually gutted minor didnt win, or G:A for that matter.

Daisy // 28.08.08

also, Elliot Minor have fans all over the world my mates in australia, yeah they like minor my mate in canada, yeah he likes minor aswell, all my mates in amaerica are minor fans and everyone of them that could did vote for elliot minor it's a fix so next year i wont even bother voting goodbye
p.s SLAVES TO GRAVITY ARE SHIT!

gothess // 28.08.08

daisy you have a lot of friends shame none of them have any taste in music.
at least ryan checked them out and thought carefully about what he heard before posting on this forum.
mcr and em are not rock bands i dont know why they are nominated in what is soppose to be a rock award. now go away and listen to some real music

siobhan // 28.08.08

WE ARE THE OCEAN, end of.

vero // 28.08.08

gothess // 28.08.08

Janie B =^.^= // 28.08.08

Oh dear! oh dear! oh dear!
Looks like SOMEONE is having a bit of a toddler tantrum. Never mind, go get mommy to change your nappy and while she's at it flip the disc as well coz the one you keep playing is getting a tad repetitive. And try to remember... if you wish to be treated like an adult, you should act like one >.<

ELLIOT MINOR SUCK DONKEY RECTUM // 29.08.08

WE ARE THE OCEAN SHOULD HAVE WON. FUCKING AMAZING BAND
OR DEAD SWANS AT LEAST

paddy // 29.08.08

"ppl r say tht STG shud of won it coz of they hard work thts a load of shit coz elliot minor hav worked 10x as hard so get a hold of yourselfs EM shud of won hands down"

BOLLOCKSSSSSS

they've done fuck all!

thats complete shit theyve had life handed to them on a plate since they were born

oh
and to Sioned
lol

do you talk like you type?
cos if you do then no one must ever understand a word you fuckin say

and no, it wouldnt be like going on about my favourite band because surprisingly my favourite band make good music not the shite elliot minor make

parallel worlds?
gimme a fuckin break

i hate all these comments saying how fit they are

no one

end of the day i'd rather listen to the pogues that elliot minor

:)x

iz // 29.08.08

omg ...no way elliot minor suck big time...they can't even sing
WE ARE THE OCEAN SHULDA WON BY MILES OR ALEAST GO:AUDIO???

Megzii xx // 29.08.08

Oh no elliot minor are good but We Are The Ocean are better ! They should've won =]ah well Elliot Minor deserve it to x

louise // 29.08.08

DEAD SWANS or WATO should have one, they are by far the better bands and work mega hard and are passionate!!

STG i dont think anyone knows who they are must have been a fix!!!

daved // 29.08.08

elliot minor - you should all die.

Janie B :o)) // 30.08.08

Oh, for pity's sake just stop this!
No one should die... but plenty of people need to GROW UP.
The nomminees were all excellent bands and deserved to be there for different reasons but someone had to win and sadly that means others must lose. In the end I believe the best band won so many congrats to STG once again, and hey, guess what? Next year it will be someone else's turn, that's life - time to move on?

liam // 31.08.08

its a fix.
go audio & we are the ocean
are 10 times better than slaves to gravity
slaves are terrible
sort it out kerrang.

Owen // 31.08.08

You do realise that this is just an award. It doesn't mean who wins will become massive stars and those who don't win will stop making music. So really you should all just take a step back and think "It's just an award."

Back to topic of music. I'm suprised Open The Skies was not included in this list after making a great album, i really think if they were in the running they would win.

I reccomend people to listen to Open The Skies, they are a really good new English band.

michelle // 31.08.08

jeeeeez ok first time ive posted on this particalar forum i have just read through every comment on this site and yes it took a long time .
glad to see you guys have such strong feeling for music.
out of all these bands i dont really mind who won im sure there are bands that i love and vise versa also i dont know if the awards were a fix or not and i dont really care it wont change what music means to me. hope your passion for music continues but try to appriatite other peoples taste in music aswell as your own. it doesnt really matter who won at the kerrang awards its what matters to you personaly when music is your only friend

Owen // 31.08.08

Sadly Michelle, your time was wasted. As you would of seen people have tried to say similar stuff before to no avial.

People will just come on here to make thier mark and "Support" the band they listen to and leave.

michelle // 01.09.08

yes owen you have a point but one can but try. i hope music continues to inspire you all and most of all i hope you listen to other peoples point of view. many times someone has told me to listen to a band ive never heard of and ive fallen in love with them. just try to be open, now and again youll hear something that will blow you away. yeah ive got my roots in music and that will never change but there is so much good music out there if you just take the time to look for it.. sory going on a bit now arnt i lol

bob // 01.09.08

hahahaha omg what a load of crap go:audio or elliot minor should of won FIX!!!!

Zsofy 13 // 03.09.08

Bullet:)Bullet Bullet:)

Tom // 03.09.08

omg elliot minor r gay, y do people like them, wearetheocean shud have won!

Debzz // 03.09.08

ooor, we are the ocean deserved it.
elliot minor have been around for at least 2 years now. they are so obviously not a new band!

ox'

Ben // 04.09.08

It went to a ROCK band...not a glorified pop band!
I still would have preferred WATO or Dead Swans to have won

Effie // 05.09.08

Ahh! Go:Audio should've won!! I've never heard Gallows before, they sound alright I suppose. But meh! xxx

Geoff // 06.09.08

I'm a Yorkie, so I am biased, but Elliot Minor should have taken this award. No question.

Blak Geoff // 06.09.08

I'm a Yorkie, so I am biased, but Elliot Minor should have taken this award. No question.

gothess // 06.09.08

effie the winners were slaves to gravity not gallows they won last year.

chris // 06.09.08

We are the ocean!!!!! they should have it ='(

jaz // 07.09.08

dead swans shoulda won, didn't mind too much though.

Joe // 07.09.08

I didn't care who won it, as long as it wasn't elliot minor. All tho nominees apart from them are great!

Bring me the horizon // 07.09.08

Hey EM fans, this award is best british newcomer. i wouldnt exactly call elliot minor "newcomers".
im glad stg won. they are "newcomers" unlike elliot minor.

gothess // 08.09.08

stg won they are new comers and there really good yes ive heard of them unlike a lot of you lot and they won so congratulations to them.
em fans what can i say maybe it will be be your turn next year.

Bryony // 09.09.08

wat this is jus wrong Go:Audio shud hav won that by far i mean bloody hell wat is wrong with u Kerrang!!!!!

x

Yess // 10.09.08

Yesss!! They rock!!

Laura // 18.09.08

Go:Audio should have won.
Simply amazing =]
x

Jeremy Roberts // 20.09.08

I really didn't want to get into this but the youth of today are just a load of fannys I had to listen to elliot minor on your recommendation and im surprised they are even in karrang, maybe this mag is getting soft but they sound like a boy band. For everyone who hasn't listened to slaves to gravity check them out......proper heavy rock band

Janie B. // 22.09.08

Jeremy, you make a very good point. Anyone who has not heard STG should check 'em out first before making any harsh comments. Also see them live coz they're awesome ( go see them supporting Aiden, even if you don't like Aiden, STG will make it all worth while:o))
One thing left to add...as I've said before, I love this kind of music because it encompasses so many different styles all covered by the rock music umbrella, surely there's nothing wrong with that, it just means that there is a type of rock to suit my every mood, happy or sad there will always be just the right song out there somewhere to cheer me up or chill me out.
I'm going through one of the toughest times of my life right now but it's my faith and the love of this music which will bring me through. In the end we're all different and that's how it should be.
Share the love <3 //*.*\\

Robbie // 08.10.08

just because everyones heard of elliot minor doesnt mean they should have won

Elliot Minor are terrible

DannyLaa // 11.10.08

This is an absolute load of my arse!
I'm sorry, but I fucking lost faith in Kerrang when I found out they put the voting forms up but still reserved the right to pick the winners themselves, and it fucking shows.
I organised a massive surge of Dead Swans votes, adding what should of been close to 5 million votes for them, between 50 people.
And fair dues, if the votes are going to be ignored, then why did kerrang choose these guys as the winners? I'm sure Elliot Minor probably got the most votes from the horrible little preteen fanbase of the magazine.
So Elliot Minor to win on votes.
Dead Swans to win on music.
And yet you have Slaves To Gravity as the winner, who sound like a cross between soundgarden, and me, fucking struggling to take a shit.
I also heard that Dead Swans were ejected from the event for being too noisy, or disorderly. When you have an advert on your channel expressing a desire to promote the 'TROUBLEMAKERS OF ROCK.'
Please, dismount from your hypocritical high horse and start bringing the alt community what they want again, real, underground, heavy music. If I wanted to listen to a girly mong wail like Elliot Minor, I'd trap my sisters fingers in a door.

Go:Kath // 16.10.08

gutted. i personally wanted go:audio to win...

but hey... life goes on.
I'll still read the mag.
I'll still go to as many Go:Audio gigs as possible.

and i am now going to zoom over to myspace and listen to STG and see what i think of them.

All these bands are good.
Quit the petty arguments yes?

ELLIOT MINOR ARE AMAZING :) // 25.10.08

ELLIOT MINOR SHOULD HAVE WON!
THEY DESERVE IT THE MOST

!BeckyR!ot! // 06.11.08

Personally I think Go:Audio should have won,but that's based on my taste of music!
AND their amazing live!
James' voice is to die for =]
6 DAYS! and I go see them!

FreakOnTheWeb (Sian Minton) // 07.11.08

why is everyone loving elliot minor so much? they're REALLY bad, i was surprised to see dead swans were one of the nominees and they definitely should have won, amazing band!

Give us all a break you bunch of 12 year olds...Elliot Minor are complete and utter shite. They sound like a fake band from an american teen TV show they are so commercial sounding and weak!
