No idea but I reckon at LEAST a week before the edition is out - so beginning of December-ish. We have a while to do this - but it will take everyone to keep doing what they are doing and spending some time everyday voting - it's really going well though - and even if they are included in the final listing it is GREAT PR for them - and Kerrang can't totally ignore them if they make the polls at all so GREAT work everyone - some of these bands have a much bigger base of people to get in there and voting so we'll just have to work that little bit harder. We managed to keep them on the top of the French radio playlists in the summer for WEEKS doing the same thing so WE CAN DO THIS!! I just know we can. Good Luck everyone and FAIR play to you for getting in there and getting voting - we just rock!  |

I don't believe we have as much time as we believe. We really need to make as much impact as possible immediately. When Kerrang does these special issues, they typically only do features on the bands that win the #1 spot for each category, so we need to make FP win win win! |

I've seen a lot of other bands do this already, so the competition is definitely ON! |

Yeah, I know. This is the sort of thing I was moaning about that the record company DON'T do  You're dead right - they should have done. None of the comments on their myspace page have been put up for a few days now - I did put up a comment about it and also asked them to post a bulletin - so hopefully in the next day or two - they must be doing a lot getting ready for the video.... |

Yeah, I know. This is the sort of thing I was moaning about that the record company DON'T do Oh, I've got a laundry list of things wrong with that label. And although I do hope good things come of the video, I'm not entirely optimistic based on the label's track record. They seem more concerned with Nonpoint and Skindred these days. |

PS: HIM is at 16374 now... Closing the gap quickly... Is there any way we can prevent HIM from posting a bulletin or message to their fans about the competition? |
