Grannys....opps Grammys ppl, ain't no surprise. What ya expect, Opeth, Dark Tranquility, Iron Maiden.

Award shows don't really represent the underground. They represent who got the greatest push by the biggest record, media companies. Sometimes they will add one, that few have heard, just to look objective, but they never get the award. It's a marketing ploy.

Maiden were nominated last year and they lost out to... GULP! Deftones

I used to watch the Grammys back in the mid-eighties, before I hit the age of reason.

.. and where are the Deftones now? And where will they be in 10 years? I know where MAIDEN will be in 10 years -- still beating strongly in the hearts of their rabid legions of fans...

101 reasons to ignore awards shows in general...

Remember, the Grammies are decided by those who belong to the RIAA (i.e. those affiliated labels of the Big 5 majors). Most of the independents will never receive nominations or recognition from the R.I.A.A. unless they are bought up by one of the Big 5 or they can financially afford a way to get on the bill. Therefore, don't expect an unbiased show.

Also, lately, it seems that the Grammies have only been going to the most popular of artists that are nominated. It makes me wonder if the record companies have been purchasing the votes simply so they can have yet another way to promote these artists whose creative peaks were finished a long time ago or never really were worth the time and money spent to manufacture their product (like Avril Lavigne).
