Kerrang!'s popularity rose again with

 the hiring of editor Paul Rees circa 

2000 when the nu metal genre, featuring

 bands like Limp Bizkit and Slipknot

 were becoming more popular.[5] Rees

 went on to edit Q magazine and Ashley

 Bird took over as editor from 2003 to

 2005. However the magazine's sales

 went quickly into decline in 2003 and

 Paul Brannigan took over as editor.
