Grammys

[wdiv]

I think that everone will agree that the grammys are completely irrelevant & pointless, especially for rock & metal. But it's still fun to complain about...

Best Metal Performance
Iron Maiden - El Dorado
Korn - Let the Guilt Go
Lamb of God - In Your Words
Megadeth - Sudden Death
Slayer - World Painted Blood


I guess that they felt obligated to give Maiden an award? I think El Dorado is one of the weakest Maiden tracks in existence. At least Korn didn't win (I'm kinda shocked that they made the list, given the demise of nu-metal). Also thought it was odd that a Megadeth non-album track made the list, but perhaps that just goes to show that Guitar Hero sells more units then cds nowadays? And World Painted Blood is from 2009, so not sure why it was in consideration.


Best Hard Rock
Them Crooked Vultures - New Fang
Alice in Chains - A Looking in View
Ozzy Osbourne - Let Me Hear You Scream
Soundgarden - Black Rain
Stone Temple Pilots - Between the Lines


Should have been AIC, IMO.

I'm kinda sick of that Maiden ass licking, everyone would probably give at least 4/5 for a CD collection of their wet farts...

I'd rather have Iron Maiden win it then Jethro Tull...lol.

Megadeth's song was much better than the other 4. Dave'll never win....

And that's the bottom line! Kudos to Maiden but unnecessary for them and for us.

@ PM74: And yes Megadeth song is better.

Megadeth threw that song together in 5 minutes. All the nominations really aren't that great. That was bullshit when Priest won last year for a song they wrote 20 years ago.

Maiden doesn't need a grammy to be good but I do agree I'm confused for this song getting an award.

I love the song and the whole album but where the hell was the Grammys for Brave New World, Dance Of Death or AMOLAD

Ozzy has made better albums as well but...whatever...cool they got something (Maiden) but like Priest last year I find out about all this stuff wayyy after the fact. The grammys are worthless. Give all my favorite bands awards and you still won't change my mind on this.

Let's take a look at the history of the metal grammys. Hilarious and sad at the same time.
