ARIAs

[Blitzkrieg]

OMG this is a fucking joke....

 

[Mark]

What???

 

[phlogiston]

This question has haunted me for some time:

How does one get a nomination for a highest selling whatever?

Either you sold the most whatevers, or you didn't. I don't get it.

 

[TinMan666]

yeah wtf is with people getting an award for "best australian single" or whatever, when their song was written by some overseas songwriter?

 

[Goreripper]

I have to agree with phloggy. Kylie sold 420,000 copies of her album in Australia alone!. None of the other "nominations" could have possibly sold even close to that. I guess they just read off the top 5 biggest sellers or something.

Its bollocks...because it seems that the same artists are nominated every year...and when you think about it...there are only a handfull of australian mainstream artists who would be nominated for something like the ARIAS. Silverchair, Grinspoon, usually Powderfinger, Alex Lloyd, Kylie and other chick singers and probably a couple of others. I get sick of hearing the same handful of bands spewed forth every year and winning the same awards every time.

There should be a metal awards included in the ARIAS.

Lets lobby for some next year.

And was it just me or did Silverchair really sound like shit? Im not a fan in the first place...but to me they sounded really bad tonight.

 

[Goreripper]

A metal nomination would suck. Someone like Superheist would win it anyway.

 

[salty]

There would need to be strict rules on who could be nominated.

Would have to be non mainstream artists.

Perhaps we could organise and run a huge underground metal awards night...and have awards made out of beer cans and stuff!

If the Grammys can't do the metal award right, then I doubt the ARIAs could

Wouldn't be able to get public liability insurance.

Lawyers/insurance companies:

"What, you are having METAL at the ARIA's this year? Sorry - No insurance for you! None for you! Back to your holes, scum, the ARIA's are postponed until John Denver get's an invite!"

 

[Wrathchild]

Damn ARIAs messed up my usual Tuesday night viewing .
I ended up watching Smallville, which was a great deal less interesting than I thought it'd be

Is it just me, or would Kylie have won yet another award if they gave a prize for the most obvious boob job?

John Denver!

I watched "Smallville" too. I wish I'd started watching from the beginning. Sure, it's just a male Buffy, and sure, every episode seems to involve Clark's powers being either taken or away or deemed ineffective against the baddie, but it seems OK so far.

Hey, I hate to break this to ya, dude... I don't think John Denver can make anymore awards nights.

Someone actually did this a few years back. It was a farce. No one from the industry turned up and it was all just a scam by some Melbourne prog band's manager, anyway, apparently.

I can tell you right now if they did have a metal awards night who would win.

Best Power metal band- Dungeon
Best Death metal band- Earth
Best Black Metal Band- They can't accept awards,they aren't doing it for praise,they're doing it for satan
Best Progressive band- Vanishing Point
Best Thrash band-Fury or Dark order
Best Cover Art- Dungeon
Worst Maeup-Trent.

Smallville rocks

Its gotten tons better since the start. Ill admit...im hooked. Theres just something really cool about it that gets me watching every week.

 

[Southy]

Why don't we have Metal Awards??
