The annual Metal/Hard Rock Grammy nominees

[Spiff]

Not as many funny nominees this year - damn. And I'm kinda surprised that Maiden weren't nominated, given they had their best year commercially and critically for a while.

Best Metal Performance:

LAMB OF GOD - "Redneck"
MASTODON - "Colony Of Birchmen"
MINISTRY - "Lies, Lies, Lies"
SLAYER - "Eyes Of The Insane"
STONE SOUR - "30/30-150"

Best Hard Rock Performance:

BUCKCHERRY - "Crazy Bitch"
NINE INCH NAILS - "Every Day Is Exactly The Same"
SYSTEM OF A DOWN - "Lonely Day"
TOOL - "Vicarious"
WOLFMOTHER - "Woman"

Oh, and the Grammys have even less credibility than they already have (amazing, I know) because Bruce Springsteen's "We Shall Overcome: The Seeger Sessions" only received a nomination for Best Folk Album.

What a joke.

Hmm for once the metal nomminee's are metal bands, who'da thunk it

 

[Celestial-Todd]

hahaha I'd pay to see Slayer up onstage!

 

[Sydo]

The Stone Sour album is excellent!
Best album I have heard for some time.

Tommy Emmanuel's been nominated for Best Country Instrumental too.

 

[Southy]

Stone Sour for the win I reckon, and probably either Wolfmother or SOAD for hard rock, just going on popularity, and what the pepople who nominate know

SOAD aren't really that popular anymore and considering they have pretty much broken up...

and technically Ministry aren't metal but I do hope they win and NIN aren't really hard rock but oh well this is the grammys.

Go Tommy Emmanuel. I saw him live about 14 years ago, my first gig!

Oh, and Bon Jovi got a nomination for Country Collaboration With Vocals for "Who Says You Can't Go Home" from Have a Nice Day (w/ Jennifer Nettles).

For what it's worth.
