My mate told me that every1 on here hate NME but i don't believe her! So i'll ask you guys for myself! *Coughs* Do any of you read NME?

sometimes. very rarely. alot of the bands they hype up are shit tho. only a couple are ever decent.

do remember the strokes and the vines were once very hyped by NME.

I only buy it when a band I like are in it because it is kind of difficult to get it where I live.

sometimes, if a band i like are in it then i do

Why were do you live? im from the u.k so it's easy to get! I only get it for the bands in it too. Like the Libs and Babyshambles! But they do arouse alot of hype about shitty bands! Can't think of any at the moment though! Can anybody?

I live in the US and I can only get it at the mall.

I'll take it you live far away from the mall then? My newsagent orders it in for me every week. Pretty handy! I luv my newsagent i'd b lost without him!

I buy the NME every week. I like their articles, though they're no reliable source. I just think the NME's fun to read. I like their sarcasm.

Yeah me too. My mate young and hopeless(You probs know her) Hates it. I only get it for the babyshamblers and libs! Do you like the libs or babyshambles?

I like 'em both, though I prefer The Libertines. Love them, just, love them.

Oh my God me too. i prefer The Libertines as well. It's too bad that they played their last gig on Friday in France innit? *sobs* The french are so priveledged!

hello i didnt say everyone hates it! LISTEN!

i hate how NME blows everything out of proportion and makes it seem like a story for the tabloids...so everything that went on with the Libertines was just turned into a soap opera with NME and it irritated me, and not all of their information is valid

Nah! Luckily my phone went dead before she had the chance to read them. Apparently! pppff as if i believe that. she so read them im not fuckin stupid.

did you read them? did i say anything bad to you? dont say what one of the messages were bout cause i know...and you know which one im talking bout!

oooohh! Evil smiley. Yes i read them. i can live with them no big deal. had worse. from you that is! Where's your mum at this moment in time?

dont know what you mean im always nice to you, never sent a mean text in my life!

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha! nehu what's the craic wit ya? i saw client featuring the ever so beautiful Carlos Barats' new vid today! Definetly Pornography! Well not really but he's got a video camera in his hand!

I just read it whenever it is that i go to Borders, cause they only have it there. But i have never bought an issue.

i don't read NME coz they son't sell it here.

likewise. im from canada so only certain major vendors will sell it such as Indigo/Chapters for example.

no, I never liked it.

Holy fricken shit, atleast you can get it at the mall

I can't get it ANYWHERE!!!!

I USED TO get it at Barnes and Noble, but THEN they stopped getting it....freaks!!!!

SO now I'm NME-less

I read NME occasionally

i never find it very interesting, even when it features bands I like.

ill buy anything with cool pictures in it

they are!!! Muse did their whole hullabaloo thing in Paris grrrrr...

and u can get NME everywhere here.
ive never read NME though

Yes, that's what you want in a music magazine isn't it? Forget valid opinions, well-researched and informative articles, let's have some sarcasm! Do you even like music?

On the rare occasions when I might purchase the NME (just before a long train ride or whatever) I swear I feel so embarassed to do so. Pornography would give me an easier time. And probably have better articles of music too.

same here

i bought the one with kasabian on it ... coudltn resist cos of that big craig pic in it.
Mhm, anyway, i hate how they got a different band on the cover everytime and still the same subtitles "BEST BAND!!!"

NME really piss me off, when a band they feature gets bigger they drop them. they did it with lostprophets when they got into the states. and my dad said that back when u2 werent as big NME featured them all the time and then they started to sell more records and they dropped them. and they act like theyre the best mag in this fuckin world...when actually theyre pure shite!

Yes, they did it with The Strokes too. Although the 2nd album might have been instrumental in this somwhat.


They just generally seem more obsessed with 'issues' and 'trends' than the music itself which is unfortunate.And the journalists really cannot write.

oh sweet jesus we actually agree on something

I suppose the dropping bands when they get big thing is ok if the purpose of the NME is just to make bands big, and so once they do well they concentrate on the less-established bands.

I'm not sure if this is the agenda of the magazine though.

Eitherway, it's still poorly-written and a disgrace to the bands they feature.

yep and they dont be nice to craiggers

Naaaahhh... These are not cool, but look: There are good bands like the Clash or the Smiths, these are way better. Well, I can't say that I like the Babyshambles because I don't really know them, but of course I like the Libertines. *sobs* But Pete has gone. How tragic. *sigh* Maybe some time there will be two singers again, Carlos and Peter.

please dont start her on pete and carl again everytime im on the fone to her shes near crying cause theyve split up. so to make it more amusing for myself i tell her that petes gonna die and wont live to see his next birthday

Actually the strokes are still in it all the time!

You're an owl biatch!It's really hard for me to get over this!*sobs*Mayb times will change and the albion empire will rise again.Just maybe!Hopefully.But until then rhiannnon don't bring me down!Please!

*coughobsessedcough* *coughdiepetediecough* j/k...or am i? *ponders*

Ah right. I was just thinking about them as cover stars really though.

I love NME, reading it at Borders (Melbourne) is my weekly fix.
Why? Pictures of pretty boys of course. But the captions/reviews are quite entertaining. The interviews are often irrelevant to the music (See Franz Ferdinand: Where would you take Michael on a date?) but damn hilarious.

Besides, it's basically the only magazine to cover Libertine/Babyshamble events on a timely basis.

I buy it 2 times a year, when it comes with a free CD/bonus issue or something.

i also like to look at the hotties in nme,
