Tenacious D - Win Grammy For Best Metal Performance


In a year with so many great metal performances, the Grammy winners for the "Best Metal Performance" are... Tenacious D. What?! Yes, indeed. They win with their version of the track "The Last In Line" which was recorded for the Ronnie James Dio - This Is Your Life tribute album. The other nominees were Anthrax, Mastodon, Motörhead and Slipknot.

Metallica didn't win either and they were nominated for "Best Music Film" with Metallica Through The Never.

The 57th annual Grammy Awards were held yesterday at Staples Center in Los Angeles and AC/DC performed with Chris Slade behind the drum kit.

How was even Motorhead nominated for a song from 2013 or Metallica for a film from 2013?

I can't really say I'm surprised. A comedy band winning with their version of a song by another artist. This is pretty much par for the course for Grammy awards in the metal category.

Haha Testicles D won.

Well, I could be(or must be only) one of them from MS who set up alarm clock at 5 in morning, got up, saw Madonna performing, yawned, then saw Best Rock Act goes to Paramore(deserves) and next up was best metal act which went to Testicles D. Immediately shut the whole damn thing, opened up porn site, wanked and slept.

I shouldn't have wake up. Will never see Grammy's again.

"The Last In Line" is a very good song but "Grammy For Best Metal Performance"!!!
Let's forget it's just Grammy...

Did you listen to Fuck Her Gently while doing so? Master Exploder would also be a great song to play as well.

A joke band performing a cover was the best thing metal had to offer this year.

Yep, makes sense.

Kielbasa, Double Team and Low Hanging Fruit would also be appropriate.

sadly, no. whined as Beyonce lost. apparently he missed this:

(bah, pic link not working so good...)

Missed hte part where Beynoce performed lead and backing vocals on an album with 16 producers. Beck solo produced his own album on which he performed vocal, acoustic guitar, electric guitar, piano, organ, synthesizer, electric bass, tambourine, ukelele, celeste, dulcimer, harmonica, glockenspiel, "sound collage" (whatever the fuck that is) as well as handled other orchestral arrangements.

puts some perspective on "artistry."


(kids these days. not knowing who Beck is is amusing, but not as fucking jawdropping as the "zomg Kanye is awesome for giving this Paul McCartney dude a spot. His career gonna take off" tweets.

the whole thing is a joke anyhow, so it's not like i'm upset. except by the McCartney bit. shit, i'm as white as the driven snow and at least i have a vague idea of important blues, jazz, and R&B figures.

Not that I enjoyed Beck's latest, but agreed completely.

Ask [URL=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sam_Smith_%28singer%29]Sam Smith[/URL].

It's not like who cares, for some artists it is more than anything they ever live upon. Even metal artists loves to get on Grammys stage and give a crappy acceptance speech.

I love metal for I can find some in-dependency in their arts and if they want to act out like pop /rock stars then fuck it.

It makes sense that something from the album (RJD - This Is Your Life) would win, but not this one...

Scorpions "The Temple of the King" was realy good. "Straight theough the heart" by Halestorm was really cool too.

I would agree with the others, definitely not the song off the album that should've won.

I thought it was a very good cover of the song and was surprized how respectful it was....but that isn't enough to be performance of the year.

surprised at how respectful? Jack Black loves Sabbath/Dio. Dio even appeared in a vid of theirs.



agree not song of the year, and even if their schtick is comedic, their love of rock/metal is real.
