You lot have honoured Madina Lake bassist Matthew Leone by voting him your Hero Of The Year in the 2010 Kerrang! Readers' Poll.Matthew was brutally assaulted in June of this year after intervening in a domestic dispute in his native Chicago. He was left in a coma and fighting for his life."Being called a 'hero' is pretty damn awkward," he tells Kerrang!. "Regardless, to hear your words and to snatch your killer vibrations is inspiring and profoundly appreciated. The pathetic act of a man beating a woman is the ultimate cowardice. If you're a victim, don't tolerate it. You're better than that. Thanks for the nod and, I must admit, being recognised for getting my ass kicked is kind of enjoyable!"For the full list of K! Readers' Poll winners, check out this week's Kerrang! magazine.
