Johnny Callaghan // 03.08.09

Glad that Metro Station didn't win, Versaemerge should have though

dan // 03.08.09

given the other bands in this shortlist, it seems like an obvious choice. i mean... shinedown? as in nickelback's retarded cousin, shinedown? i can't wait until they've been culled.

Niall // 03.08.09

Metro Station Should Have Never Been Nominated... FFDP Should Have Won.

Becca. // 03.08.09

Predictable.

dory // 03.08.09

Gutted for 5FDP - the album's brilliant and they're great live, but Gaslight Anthem have done really well this past year and I guess they've earned it.

nicole // 03.08.09

Although I'm ecstatic that one of the bands that ISN'T 'Metro Station of Shit' won anyway. :D

Paddy // 03.08.09

Patrick // 04.08.09

Metro Station are ........... (I'll let you finish that sentence of)

I thought that Versa Emerge should have won.
What is happening to kerrang awards

Matthew // 04.08.09

5FDP Or Shinedown Should Have Won

Charlotte // 04.08.09

Really Im not surprised.
The Gaslight Anthem are a great band.
Thank God metro station didn't win.
I have had quite enough of their pointless and meaningless songs.
Yes, shake it.
Good message
:/
And the fact Trace Cyrus has about as much singing ability as his sister makes for a pretty bad band.
I'm quite happy with the outcome
(:
xo

Ben // 04.08.09

They all suck , pretty much like most american music at the moment.They should ban this award untill something half decent comes about.

Neal // 04.08.09

Shinedown should've got it. Glad Metro Station didn't win, they are not rock in the slightest!

Finn // 04.08.09

I don't fucking believe this.

ATextbookTragedy should have fucking nailed this award, fuck all the shitty mainstream bands.

¬¬

DP4LIFE // 04.08.09

Five Finger Death Punch won hands down in my book! Even if they aren't holding the award!
5FDP all the way-

UzI // 05.08.09

thank god metro station didnt win but still the gaslight anthem wtf?? 5FDP SHOULDVE WON!!!!

UzI // 05.08.09

actually I agree with DP4LIFE... even if f5dp didnt win.... the award is with them ;) f5dp xD!

Megan // 05.08.09

They misspelt Shinedown =/

xo

Rawwwr.Alicia // 05.08.09

Metro Station should have won. soz. but like the gaslight anthem suck so bad i went to see ftsk one time with my friend and they were playing in a smaller venue in the same building and there were seriously like 5 people there to see them no joke. whereas metro station i'm sorry but they can easily sell out venues like quickly. you may not think they're good but i love them nd you have to admit they are successful as fuck.

Dr Hero van Wildebeest // 06.08.09

Fantastic. A year since they debuted on the cover of Kerrang and they're getting the recognition they deserve. A truly phenominal band who I haven't stopped listening to every day in over a year. So pleased that a hard-working, humble band with so much talent have won this award amidst a list of nominees that nobody will remember the next time these awards come round. Kudos to you, Kerrang. Thank you for restoring a little of my lost faith in your magazine.

Paige // 06.08.09

all i can say is at least metro station didn't win,, there not exactly kerrang material are theyy ??

becky // 06.08.09

happy that metro station lost!!!
Sad that five finger death punch lost =(

samie // 06.08.09

VersaEmerge should have won

Stephanie // 07.08.09

It's pretty weired that they wer nominated with the others! :S... and were put on Kerrang . I'm not sayin i hate Metro Station i actually luv them but Kerrang is a Rock Mag. and I know that Metro Station aren't rock music .... but a lot of people think that they're rock because they're d guitar in it. But we all know that that's not true Metro Station are Synth. Pop

U can't mix Metro Station with Slipknot it's just not the same....

I luv u Metro Station XD and I hope that i didnt say anything to offend u guys xx

ChuckNorris // 09.08.09

versa definitely should have won!

Rawwwr.Alicia // 09.08.09

Metro Station are synth pop
but kerrang choose to play them and they got nominated
they should have won tbh because they are the best band up there
it's like 3OH!3 though i suppose, they aren't rock at all but they always seem to be on kerrang
everyoe likes a bit of variation.

1908 // 10.08.09

VersaEmerge clearly should've won, great band still glad Metro Station lost

justin // 10.08.09

For those of u who voted r crazy!!!!

FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH SHOULD HAVE WON THAT!!!!!!!!!!

jack // 14.08.09

it's a predictable result because the gaslight anthem are the best band on that list.
they truly deserve this award, even if they aren't technically a "newcomer"

Megan // 14.08.09

Thank Christ Metro Station didn't win! They aren't even rock, they're synth pop so why were they even nominated?

Tim // 16.08.09

shulda been 5FDP, thats so gay

Mittens // 17.08.09

"Suprise suprise, Kerrangs best friends win an award they shouldn't have even been nominated for."

Seriously? How do you think they became best friends? The Gaslight Anthem is without a doubt the best band Kerrang! has ever had in its magazine, I'm proud to say I voted over 200 times for TGA, they deserve it. Metro Station sucks, 5FDP sucks, Shinedown eh they're okay,

ronk // 25.08.09

Hannah.xx // 14.09.09

y does evertone hate metro station, there not exactly rock, there synth pop/emo pop, but i dont see what everyone has against them, there reallysuccessful, and there on a world wide sell out tour. in my eyes there the best band ever and ilove them.xx
