Written by [user id=5630] on 10.02.2009 at 03:57 Yeah, They are just like a VH1/MTV Top 20 of Rock. We just need to ignore them, listen to your music, and don't care if they put Slipknot and the Metal Gods in the same category for an award that is just crap.

Written by [user id=5630] on 10.02.2009 at 03:57 Well put, as Lemmy says "the grammies are just a time for all the music industry execs to pat themselves on the back and say "didn't we do a good job?"" More about stroking egos than actual music appreciation, if it were i think they'd put a little more work into the nominations.

1.- Grammy doesn't know anything about metal, and the only metal for them are the bands from the united states. 2.- Metallica were good, yes, but nothing is forever and they sold their music, this is a clear example We cant deny that they were good, but we mus accept that nothing is forever
