The Kerrang! Awards is an annual music awards show in the United Kingdom, founded by the music magazine, ''Kerrang!''. The annual awards features performances by prominent artists, and some of the awards of more popular interest are presented in a televised ceremony. The 21st Kerrang! Awards was held on 12 June 2014, at The Troxy in Stepney, in the East End borough of Tower Hamlets. ==History== Since they began in 1993, the Kerrang! Awards became one of Britain's most recognized award events by the now-defunct ''Guinness Book of British Hit Singles & Albums'', often listing some of the winners in their annual round-up of the previous year. The event is presented by major music celebrities, with many others outside the industry who attend the event, sometimes presenting the awards with one example being Jodie Marsh in 2003 presenting Feeder with their Best British Band award.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=Leeds Met Students' Union )〕 Perhaps one of the notable events of recent years was the ceremony of 2000, in which Slipknot set fire to their table after winning Best Band in the World. Lostprophets nearly became the first act to win three times in succession the Best British Band award, but lost to Bullet for My Valentine in 2008, who later achieved the succession in 2010. It has since been suggested, that since Ian Watkins conviction, Lostprophets awards should be rescinded. Thirty Seconds to Mars holds the record for most Best Single wins at three. The band is also the first artist to win Best Single in two consecutive years for the years 2007 and 2008.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=AltSounds.com )〕 Many international companies, including Island Records, Orange Music Electronic Company and Marshall Amplification, are involved in the sponsorship of the various award categories. It has been noted that the awards sometimes do not adhere to a strict "biggest is best" code, as some of the winners and nominees for the newer awards, such as Best International Newcomer, have been awarded to bands with either minor exposure or a strong live reputation, such as 2010 Best International Newcomer winners Trash Talk. There have also been controversial winners of these awards. An example of this being the winners of Best British Newcomer and Best International Newcomer, from the 2006 event (Bring Me the Horizon and Aiden). However, most of the categories ever since the first ceremony in 1993 have honored artists who have experienced notable commercial chart success at the time of winning their award, with Best British Band, Best International Band and Hall of Fame being examples. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kerrang!
