did anybody see them? they wernt as bad as i had hoped, the darkness played, turbongero kepr getting mentioned, leting me know how to pronounce the fuker and then they won something and gotthe crowd to chant iv got an errection, well it improved my mood

There were some properly drunk people there. Bloody hell!

I'm still convinced there was some fixing going on. How can the Darkness walk away with everything on the planet and then not even be nominated for best british band?

Also I can think of many better singles this year than the winner which was 'Lifestyles of the rich and the famous' by Bad Bad Bad Charlotte.

Most things are fixed these days....all it takes is a super fucking rich record company to wave its wallet in peoples noses...then again good charlotte are very popular and am i right in thinking this was a peoples vote?

....a ppl's vote.

The top 4 in each catagory were announced as the nominees with the winners already decided by the Kerrang reading public.

Funny that Metallica were beaten twice in catagories too...once by GC and also by Linkin Park. Not that Im moaning about the LP one....lol. \m/

and kerrang sponsored download fest won best event, even though the awards were before Reading makking it an obvious wwhat was gonna win

but as festivals go reading beats the shit out of download

i only went to download for the one day (to see iron maiden) and to my horror, when i went to the toilets they were clean! what the fucks up with that!?

Weren't the majority of awards won by bands in the country for Reading/Leeds (i.e. from america) thus making it look like they could be bothered coming and, therefore, making the awards worthwhile???
