Damn, Priest deserves the cake for that one. I'm really surprised they were even nominated. And I believe Coldplay won with the song they stole from Joe Satriani...

I dont trust the Grammys, cause always one band or artist wins all of the awards, and this year's was Coldplay (one of the most bands I hate), but its nice to know that Metallica won....

Written by Raiden on 09.02.2009 at 13:35 It just wouldn't be the Grammies if they hadn't  But yes, they are pretty ignorant at the Grammy camp. I love it that "Death Magnetic" got some props, but even nominating Priest's Spinal Tap scale fuck up is a slap to the face.

Phil Anselmo of Pantera once said on the live cd (101 proof) introducing the song Suicide note II: "You won't hear this next song anywhere but in your goddamn car, at home or on this fuckin stage, and that's the way it should be" that's so fuckin true, and that's what Metal is about, real metal was never been played for silly awards, if a band calls itself metal, it would never accept those awards..

...this is why the Grammys are bullshit. If they bothered to really look at the Metal scene, then they'd see that there are an ocean of Bands who deserve these Awards Waaaaay more than Metallica, or any of the other bands Nominated (though Priest was pretty awsome)

Who cares about metallica ..... The important thing about those Grammy is that Robert Plant won 5 awards. Ledz rules, now and forever

I'm really not surprised, but Rick Rubin taking the producer award? If that doesn't show that its just a popularity contest, I don't know what does. Though Robert Plant definitely deserved awards, "Raising Sand" was fantastic IMO.

Written by Doc G. on 09.02.2009 at 17:37 yeah, that was the real headscratcher. the music? who gives a shit? anyone whining over who wins or who doesn't - who cares? no matter the result you'll whine - just like i'm sure there will be plenty come March 1st when the MS Awards are handed out. we are a community of metal heads and people will still whine about what other metalheads voted for, or didn't vote for. to a large extent metalheads are, frankly, fucking stupid hypocrites. they whine when some big commercial organization like the Grammys ignores the genre or doesn't give it the due they expect - but then they whine when someone hits it big and the scene is infested with trendjumpers. the hypocrisy is hilarious. i want to thank those of you who go off the deep end each and every time an award is handed out for all the (unintentional) laughs. now Rubin winning the award? that's crap. it's not a question whether the music is good or bad, but the production itself. walking in to a studio and bumping all the EQ frequencies to "10" is not production. or if it is, i'm in the wrong line of work.

Written by BitterCOld on 09.02.2009 at 20:57 Nope, you're not in the wron line of business. A friend of mine is producer (he did Gorath btw) and really does not understand this Loudness-war all the so-called top producers are taking part in.

Written by Marcel Hubregtse on 09.02.2009 at 21:00 i guess these knob-molesting morons fail to understand that we, the consumer, also have access to one fairly important knob... the volume knob. we can simply turn the music up or down - so perhaps it's better if the music sounded "good" rather than "loud" as we can make it as loud as we want.

Really cool how all of the choices absolutely sucked.. The world has lost all sense of good music, i found the awards vile for the most part and the performers even worse. Sickening.
