The free version was borderline unreadable, so it was only a matter of time.
Not like the old days, I remember I used to buy it every week in my youth!
Remember, it's easier to criticise than create!
I didn't like NME in my youth because they never covered hard rock or metal bands. In fact I don't think they even acknowledged the existence of anything outside of whatever they thought was hip and cool.
So fuck 'em, good riddance.

I still have my SOUNDS T-shirt! A free gift back in about '78
As a teen I was a keen reader of Sounds, occasionally Melody Maker and then the start of the glossies like Kerrang and Q so the loss of any bit of the musical press seems a bit sad. But beyond that I'd struggle with an RIP.
Even less so now you can just look up any song and hear it for nowt.
My Trading Feedback | You Bring The Band
Just because you're paranoid, don't mean they're not after youJust that NME wasn't meant to be about all genres of music, so lack of coverage of a different genre shouldn't have been surprising. It was basically about indie, bit of goth, punk and soft industrial at a pinch.
Metal and hard rock were Kerrang's thing, no?
