2014 Grammy Nominees - Best metal performance

[AeonicSlumber]

So are you saying that you make a conscious decision to "ignore" a band just because they have achieved mainstream success?

To be fair, sometimes the hype train can be off putting, and I actually sometimes ignore bands if they get propped up too much so as not to set myself up for disappointment. I knew about Kvelertak and Ghost before they released their respective records for example, but ignored them until afterwords because of all the insane hype.

More people should ignore Ghost.

Wrong.

Well based on the sales of the last album, and based on UMG's expectations towards it - you will likely have your way.

I'm surprised Megadeth wasn't nominated. Not because I like the new album or anything, but Megadeth always gets nominated and never wins. I think the next time will be the 10th.

You also don't like King Diamond though.

True enough, but the song itself seems out of place with the rest of the album.

They'll choose Black Sabbath, because Black Sabbath has been around for 40+ years. The Grammys have been irrelevant as an authority on hard rock/metal since the first year they tried giving an award in the category and bypassed Metallica in favor of Jethro Tull. They attempted to correct it and went overboard the wrong way, making it the Metallica award.

 

[AngraRULES]

Wrong.

Yes, more people should ignore this post too.

This x1000

I'd be OK with any of them winning with the exception of Anthrax. I hate when they nominate bands who do a cover tune. But that's the grammy's for ya, pretty much a joke anyways.

More people should ignore AngraRULES.

Agreed. He hates real metal bands like Ghost. What a douche...

To me, the worst metal related travesty in the history of the Grammys was Motorhead getting nominated for, and then winning a Grammy, for their cover of WHIPLASH.

And did you hear he SKIPPED Armored Saint?

 

[AngraRULES]

He did?!?! No way!!! What a loser!

they always do one song like that on each album though....

 

[PromisedLand]

And did you hear he SKIPPED Armored Saint?

I dozed off during Armored Saint.

Actually, I was in the hallway going complete fanboy on D.C. for the first part of their set.

I think it would be funny and awesome as all hell to see King Diamond come out on stage to accept that award while dressed in full costume.

See, I don't actually consider them a metal band.

As much as I like KD live, no way in hell are the dead bodies that make up ARAS are going to hand Volbeat/KD the Grammy. It will go to one of the "corporate" favorites: KSE or Sabbath.
