Posted March 1, 2007 Just heard there are quite a few good bands playing the awards tonight. Kaiser Chiefs, Kasabian, Killers, The View, Primal Scream and some suprises. I reckon Noel Gallagher may whack out some tunes. I have also just heard that Jarvis and Beth from the gossip are gonna team up and do something!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 1, 2007 I'm confused, pretty much all the same bands are up for all the awards. Where are bands like Keane, Bloc Party, Incubus? They've all got new albums out that should qualify for something. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Keane and Incubus aren't as good as most of the bands there in my opinion and Bloc party's album has only just come out and they didn't do much last year so they'll be in next years awards no doubt.

Posted March 1, 2007 Well first of all I believe there is a form you fill in for each category... then they compile the most voted for and make a shortlist. Then from that shortlist they take the 5 most popular for each category and there are your nominations. The nominations are then supported by different companies... ie best solo artist is voted for by viewers of E4 and Best Dressed is voted for by Topman Shoppers. etc in other news the awards have started and Jamie T has just won best solo artist.

Posted March 1, 2007 Well, what a load of shit those awards have promised to be. As much as I love Kasabian they're certainly no match for Muse's live act. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 1, 2007 Ok Kasabian won best live act instead of Muse. Worst awards ever! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted March 1, 2007 Best Venue: Brixton Academy Glasgow Barrowlands London Astoria London KOKO Manchester Apollo<----- LOL DIS 1 That aint even the best in Manchester. In fact, its terrible. And that's one thing I'm sure the Bard would agree on! I can't stand NME if I'm honest. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 1, 2007 I love kasabian Yep, me too. Great band...but no match for Muse's live act. Anyway, these awards are apparently decided by the fans, so no doubt whichever band has the biggest myspace friends list will win the awards.. What happened to the Best UK band award?

Posted March 1, 2007 That aint even the best in Manchester. In fact, its terrible. And that's one thing I'm sure the Bard would agree on! I can't stand NME if I'm honest. Well the London Astoria should win that anyway What happened to the Best UK band award? Not been given out yet. Best Int. band is My Chemical Romance :/ and best new band is the Klaxons.

(backs down in shame ) Yeah, it's pretty bad, the acoustics are awful, you can't hear anything properly unless you're right at the back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 1, 2007 Well the London Astoria should win that anyway Best Int. band is My Chemical Romance :/ Why is it they only got that award by releasing their worst ever album? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 1, 2007 Why is it they only got that award by releasing their worst ever album? I dunno. I can't stand them myself. Reading & Leeds just won the best festival of 2006. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 1, 2007 I personally think that MCR's new album is miles better than their old one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted March 1, 2007 I'm just wondering, what do bands have to be for these awards? Owned by certain people? Be a particular genre? I already stated what I think the process is. All the awards refer to 2006 and first of all I believe there is a form you fill in for each category (in the mag and online throughout the year)... then they compile the most voted for and make a shortlist. Then from that shortlist they take the 5 most popular for each category and there are your nominations. The nominations are then supported by different companies... ie best solo artist is voted for by viewers of E4 and Best Dressed is voted for by Topman Shoppers, Best new band voted for by Radio one listeners etc Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 1, 2007 Ah. And as 80%+ of people that read said mag are idiots, it explains why Iron Maiden are not there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
