Wildhearts are becoming trendy?????? (again). Could someone do the honours and scan the stuff in here for those who dont have a WH Smith's to use as a library.

Cheers.

The cream will always rise to the top. Looks like Download was very successful for the boys!! Might have to go next year for their headlining slot.

Doesn't Ginger look young without the face fungus?

I can't believe how much Kerrang! obviously hates the Wildhearts... bastards!!

Oi! I go out for one day an someone nicks me Kerrang!-scanning-in-for-all-those-too-cheap/ashamed-to-buy-it-themselves job!

Stll, I was pretty surprised and chuffed with the coverage this week

Quotes included erm... include -

- A pic of Ginger with "The life and times of a true musical genius"

- "its THE WILDHEARTS (KKKKK) that play the set of the weekend"

Right on!

And some exposure for (the exellent) all but forgotten Supershit 666 ep!

Oh an, is it just me or is Ginger slowly using a time machine on a mission to look exactly the same as he did in 1993 just in time for the Earth Vs gig...

[vanrad]

I think the last time The Wildhearts had that much Kerrang was in 1994 or 1995. Cheers to Ean for putting it up... saves me a trip to Asda to read it at their library!

I had to go in anyway for my copy of Red Hot Grannys Monthly - I tucked Kerrang! between the pages so I wouldn't be seen with it.

A clean cut Ginge with longer hair? me think he's taking the 15th anniversary incredibly seriously and trying to look fiftten years younger aswell and by golly it works I tell ya.

Yes it would be great if they return next year. However the following quote from the Download Message Board doesn't give much hope.

I spoke to Ginger and CJ afterwards, and they're not expecting an invite back.

It wasn't down to the bottles or the panel getting lifted, it was time constraints. The panel was only known about afterwards.

15 years and they keep getting better...

Panel? what panel getting lifted? has the sun knackered my brain again?

Just before 29x when Ginger said throw your girlfriends and everythingnot bolted down etc. In the pit people started pulling up the panel/guards that went over the top of the cables that ran through to the stage.

I'm pretty sure that's why the set was cut - security people would have seen that and for safety stopped it - the cables were coming out a bit and if people then started yanking at those it would have been dangerous.

Thanks for posting the scan. Kerrang! is getting harder and harder to find in the US. Cheers.

This one...



I'd love to meet the person who could have pulled on that cable and unplugged it. Cable runs - even fairly short ones - are bloody heavy.

Anyhoo, who cares what the reason was? The conjecture just adds to it. The main thing is that nobody's ever going to forget the WH having the plug pulled at Download - Another entry on the list of glorious legends.

"Music written in the key of life"?

That's just perfect. Let's all praise Kerrang! for once.

[markE]

oh, do we really have to?

okay then - nice articles kerrang.
