| I am obviously in the minority here, but even though I was so disappointed that Priest was overlooked, I have to say... I really enjoyed the show itself. I thought Justin Timberlake with Al Green and Keith Urban was great, I loved seeing Radiohead with the USC Marching Band, and well, Paul Mc Cartney, and then... Robert Plant and ALlison Kraus. Of COURSE it is a huge popularity contest and marketing game. I agree that Robert Plant should have been honored YEARS ago. but stil, it was pretty entertaining. I am not a fan of rap, so I kind of ignored all that, but otherwise, I liked the show. |

that's what the song says:
It's easy to go along with the crowd,
And find later on that your say ain't allowed
Oh that's the way to find what you've been missing
I say...Fuck metallica...and the industry...they know nothing...they are nothing and they can prove nothing!!! |

Wow. I just spent the better part of twenty minutes back reading and I must say, there has not been this kind of activity in a long time. Interesting that it takes this type of event to bring out such an emotional reaction! I guess the Grammys are good for something!
I tried, I reall tried. I sat through the most excruciating 52 minutes of my life before I could stand no more..and that was just the "red carpet"!! I just could not watch the actual show, although I did tune in for a moment at the beginning. Saw Whitney stumble up and begin to babble and that is where I finally gave up. I just couldn't do it. Priest or no Priest.
It does not surprise me that our beloved boys were not winners. The longer I listened to the "artists" that tried to speak (in what language, I am not sure) the more I realized what the "industry" has become. I mean, it has never been a bastion of intellect, but clearly there is a severe lack of brain cells in music today. Of course, there is NO shortage of self-indugence and hype. Perhaps (as usual) it is a by-product of my age but I simply cannot sit and watch these evolutionarily-stifled beings mumble and bumble their way across the screen. Then there are the "hosts"...arrrrrggghhhh.
I cannot help but wonder; had Priest won, would there be as much bitterness or disdain for this show? I think , for our group at least, it may have softened an already terrible experience but I am almost sure we would still look at this for what it is; garbage. I do not understand the "voting" process, so I cannot comment on the who, but the what is obvious. There are people in music today that have NO business doing anything outside of washing cars or delivering something.
Anyway, I am really happy to see so much passion and excitement. All this activity proves we are still here and we are still viable!!

your right. the Grammy's are crap, but as you said any press is good press. the masses who watch that crap have never heard of priest, but if one of them picks up the CD and likes it, thats progress. and if it reminds one or two people who have forgoten them, again, its progress.

Justin, Thanks so much for that! You have made this woman incredibly happy! That's all I ever wanted to have happen .. I went to bed. Didn't know for sure, and assumed, based on what folks wrote here, that there wasn't even a mention. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I am incredibly happy right now ...

Death Magnetic is at best, average. |

I like parts of Death Magnetic. Not a Metallica purest, so I can see where St. Anger pissed a lot of people off. Don't think I'll condemn them 'cause they got an award Priest could give two shakes about anyway.
Priest does RULE! And should have at least been mentioned; although, I'm thinking logistically, with alot of bands touring, not many metal bands could, or would, interrupt their schedule to be there ... LOL The no mention bit really has my blood boiling. WTF?!?!
I'm off to make breakfast.
Keep it REAL here in the land of the MetalGods ...  |

Morning all...Priest rules! F-Metallica...They should rename "Death Magnetic" to "Fucking Piece of Shit". Kill 'Em All! Somewhere, Cliff Burton is spinning in his grave. This is why I hate watching TV.
Oh, speaking of crappy TV...did anyone watch that half-hour 60 Minutes fluff piece on the Flight 1549 crew??? The lady interviewing them was GOD-FREAKING-AWFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They've become played out to the maximum now. Next feel-good story please! |

LOL ... Vail, I'm glad you posted the reminder. If you hadn't, I might have missed part of one of the weirdest nights on television!
I went to the grammy site, about 45 minutes to showtime (by my clock anyway). Once there I went to the "list of nominees". Scrolling down the list I noticed little Grammy icons beside some of the nominee names ... hmm? Didn't think anything about it really. I could have stumbled onto one of the "prediction" pages. Yeah, right. Then reading an article about Grammys blunders, or something-or-other, there in black and white was a comment about awards Grammy would not live down, including awarding JethroTull the first HardRock/Metal award, and MilliVanillie best new artist - LOL Then the show starts! WooHoo!!! U2 finishes their number and the first presenter is announced .... WHITNEY HOUSTON!!!!! 3 times during her "speech" I remember saying, "Have another drink, Whitney. Just shutup and present the award" She couldn't just announce the winner, could she. No. She had to acknowledge Clive, her Daddy, Davis! Mara, what kind of control does this wee little man really weild in the grand scheme of things. I think I wanna sit next to him at the next event ... HA! The winner in the category Whitney presented was Jennifer Hudson?! Al Green was also in that category. Clearly it was a sympathy honor. Following that presentation, during the next commercial, I went back to check the list, and was sooooooo disappointed. I mean really. If yo uoneed to post the winners in advance for the press, use a secure password page. Idiots! I went to bed.
Looks like politics is alive and well in the US music industry.
This was worse than a joke. It was like watching the twilight zone ... imagine if you will |

Well... I might as well join the post mortum. Didnt watch the Grammies - too late in our timezone - but I looked up the results right now. Well... I was seriously hoping that if JP doesnt get shit, at least a decent band like Dragonforce would. Yeah, right. If a non-metal person thinks of metal, what do they think of first? Metallica, thats what. "Ooooooh! Metallica! Thats so metal! It says so in their name!" And the results are a confirmation of that...
But, on the bright side... Plant got something, as did Springsteen and Satriani, so I guess that those that voted for them can be spared from the firing squad. As for the rest... Fire away. |

Just watched the Grammys...what a load of shit that was...  I apologize for trying to remind everyone...I didn't think it was going to be that bad.
Ahhh, ef it... Grammy award or not...Judas Priest are the winners in my eyes!! All three of those eyes!!!!!!!  |

I can honestly say I don't think I have ever used these smilies before. The Grammy's are an utter load of crap. I actually think they are out to destroy true rock music. Coldplay is a rock group? since when? Has Led Zeppelin ever won a Grammy? Maybe they have. If not, it took Robert Plant hooking up with Allison Krause to get him a Grammy? WTF?? Metallica? and to think we were ALL upset when Jethro Tull won the first time Metal was introduced to the Grammy's. Let's talk, whoever votes for this thing, knows nothing about music. Best Polka? Jimmy Sturr? Again? Come on, is this the only polka band they know of? How about The Polka Family? or Eddie Blazoncyk? |
