PSYCHO-FUCKING-SOCIAL!!!
i would normally support slipknot but psychosocial is such a monotonous song.
Hope metallica get it
My Apocalypse? They have all of Death Magnetic to choose from and they choose THAT? Guess that’s why nobody listens to mainstream critics…
Grammys Suck !!!
WTFFF! Priest & mars volta, theres been way!!! better performances this year!!!! && theres been some way better stuff this year than what they’ve picked!!!
Really?! My Apocalypse?! Why. When you’ve got All Nightmare Long and The Judas Kiss. Big mistake there.
I think my apocolypse is the most “metal” because it’s pretty inense throughout…though Al nightmare long shoulda made it. or even BBS
but niiiice, it’s close, I think psychosocial would win, cause it’s more mainstream.
Yeah, slipknot pftt, emo, masquerading as metal…
Best hard rock Preformance:
Judas Priest – Visions
Best Metal Preformance:
Metallica – My Apocalypse (Although i woulda’ loved to see ‘All Nightmare Long’ or ‘Judas Kiss’.)
You know they’ll pick Slipknot- they seem to love them.
Priest deserve to win for ‘Visions’.
MOTLEY CRUE
It don’t matter where or what,just get the Metal out there.Give it Hard and Heavy
Wheres airbourne man
Ugh… Fuck the mainstream critics there’s been so much this year that’s better and metaller than any of this… What about blooddrunk by children of bodom? The Incurable Tragedy by Into Eternity? The new testament album? Is there some kind of rule that says you have to be a sellout or on guitar hero to win a Grammy? Fuck that and fuck the hordes of mindless poser sheep who can’t listen to anything heavier than disturbed, slipknot, and studioforce. Fuck all of the little poser kids who buy a $99 dollar squier guitar and presume/pretend to play it, because it’s in vogue
slipknot que les pasa e
nisiquiera es metal puro es nu metal y del mas comercial que apesar de ser una banda muy plana en sus letras
1.- Judas Priest
Get in xD! Yeah Fuck em’ All (See what i did there?)
Psychosocial has GOTTA win.
No it does not ‘gotta win’ slipknot fucking suck!
I love how purile the music industry has become.
*rollesyes*
Dragon Force, the entire CD is mind blowing and the lead parts just crack me up as it makes me wonder how much time these guys spend practicing in their rooms….
Zombie would be my second guess as the guy is an absolute MONSTER of a legend.
Not the Best stuff but in the Terms that they Choose Nominations it could have been. Get used to it it’s all rigged. Be Happy Metal gets an award. Im cheering for Disturbed and SlipKnot. Dagonforce Fucking Sucks Dick. Atleast Metallica Could win. Anything but Fucking Dragonforce
im gonna have to go with The Mars Volta for Wax Simulacra…they’re BA. Their work is amazing.
why is it physcosocial? tha song is one of the worst songs in the universe! i hope to god either Priest or Ministry win and they could’ve picked a much better song of death magnetic than my apocalypse
i’m hoping for slipknot cuz they are preaty awsome but they need some heavyer shit kataklysm children of bodom slipknot and disturbed is the heavyest the recognise whitch is bullship death metal is a valid form of music
megadeth tiene que ganar manga de estupidos!!!!!!AGUANTE MEGADETH.METALLICA SUCKS
Uhh…. what about Ministry? that song isn’t that metal at all. Why did they not get nominated for Rio Grande Blood or something? this whole thing is bullshit and Slipknot gtfo……..
The Grammy’s are about giving awards to those who are PROGRESSING the genre they are nominated for. Sure, sometimes it’s on the popular side, but just because it’s popular, does NOT mean that it is junk. On that note, obviously the people who give these nominations aren’t educated enough in Metallica, but if Children of Bodom is ever nominated i’m going to puke on myself. Some other bands mentioned above are simply beating the same sound into the ground, which is why they were either not nominated or didn’t win; Except for Slipknot. They deserve it. They are what is “metal”.
A good fuckin album is when you hear it for the first time and you’re like SHIT YA THIS ROCKS!! like Testaments’ new one… not metallica.. had to listen to it quite a few times before i kinda liked it.
I agree with Brian, just because it’s a lil more popular than other bands doesn’t mean you should trash it left and right. If it was really that good, it might be more popular. Ever think of that?
Most news articles and the award ceremony itself ! do not even mention metal as a catagory. Screw them! Metal is the best!
WHY THE HELL ISN’T MASTODON ON HERE!!!!??? OR LoG?! And why does Judas Priest get nominated for both Hard Rock and Metal?
…And I’m sure I’m not the only one thinking this, but how do they get away with putting Metallica in the Metal category? They’re not even metal anymore!!! >(
