s/o Courtney Barnett tho

Ghost gonna win it right

Glad to see Hiatus Kaiyote and Alabama Shakes get some recognition

Unsurprisingly it's all terrible.

Thank goodness. How else am I supposed to know what's good, unless a bunch of old dudes who have no idea what's going on in music, tell me. I almost didn't know what to do with myself.

Let the self felating of the music industry begin.

Really surprised to see August Burns Red get a nomination. Cool for them.

what do you know, it's the 1% of the industry.

why the fudge is slipknot nominated for a grammy it's not 2002 people

"why the fudge is slipknot nominated for a grammy it's not 2002 people"

Because they didn't know any other metal bands

isn't ghost bc popular enough now? idk

Ghost BC are in the list.

and I can understand Slipknot being nominated...but why Custer? That song is kind of bland.

I want August Burns Red to win it

well Custer says "fuck" 88 times in it so maybe they're trying to break a record

More like Cluster amirite eh

congratz for the guys who are worthy of recognition, everybody knows which ones

Pretty cool to see ABR get nominated

i mean, it's the grammy awards, but still

Whatever happened to Hoobastank?

Hoobaskank

Custer is one of the worst songs Slipknot ever wrote, there are a few good songs on that album like The Devil In I and the one about Paul that they could've nominated instead, would've made a lot more sense.

This list is a real cluster fuck.

LOL @ muse

Is Muse still actually making music or do they just get nominated for being a rock band that people have actually heard of

I think it's a good list tbh

I want Courtney to win, but i seriously doubt it'll happen. Same thing with Alabama Shakes. Love them both, but its a long shot, either of them winning.

Meghan Traynor omg.

Best Metal Performance

At least it isn't a bunch of mediocre covers or AC/DC.

"why the fudge is slipknot nominated for a grammy it's not 2002 people"

because it's the only metal band that the Grammys know. If Metallica had released something (even 10 minutes of ambient fart echos), we'd see it up on the nominees list.

God I really hope August Burns Red take this home. Would be a great reward for their superb consistency

Can't not hope James Bay wins, dude went to my school and he's just a super normal, cool dude

damn dude, no kamasi in any of the jazz

Ghost deserves the win.

If they really had to pick Slipknot, why that song instead of other singles?... Not to mention album is from 2014 anyway.

Actually a decent list considering the usual Grammy nominations.

FUCK the grammys FUCK the oscars FUCK award shows FUCK off

nice to see Highly Suspect getting some well deserved recognition, at least.

Dangelo and kamasi got screwed.

I don't know why people still act surprised or get upset that the grammys don't make serious choices.

im not upset and certainly not surprised but i will openly call anyone giving any sort of credit to or even being entertained by this mindless attempt at commercializing art a complete fool

Holy crap! The metal award actually makes sense this year. I can't believe it.

Did you guys see hoobastank made an album called for(n)ever??? What???!

don't artists commercialize their own art by selling it?

Yeh but this is a mindless attempt, and doesn't add anything to the art

then their level of success is based on whether people like it enough to buy it, not based on some arbitrary award process force-fed through cable television

just shows how the general population cant think for themselves, the list of nominations and awards every single year is laughable compared to the better options out there

the pop music industry is a huge commercialized circle jerk and it makes me sick

fuck the grammys. also kendrick is going to win album of the year (unsurprisingly) which really frustrates me

'the pop music industry is a huge commercialized circle jerk and it makes me sick'

Every single industry is like this but you only know a lot about the music one

did i say it wasnt like that you ignorant fuck

Have a cup of tea and chill m8

i only know about coffee sry

I'm going to officially stop paying attention to the Grammys if To Pimp a Butterfly doesn't win Album of the Year [2]

Abysmal, as always. To Pimp A Butterfly better win in every category it's nominated.

I'm going to officially stop paying attention to the Grammys if To Pimp a Butterfly doesn't win Album of the Year [2]

Looking through this thread and i just randomly see something about hoobastank lol

u guys though the grammys mattered

and gon stop just now paying attention to them

what

I feel like such a hipster all of a sudden.

I really hope Kendrick cleans up the categories he got nominated for.

You would think that the Grammy's would hire someone who knew what the fuck they were talking about for each category. Also, why is Slipknot nominated for best metal performance but also best rock album? That does not make sense...

"I feel like such a hipster all of a sudden."

real edgy opinions itt innit

everyone's on the weeknd's dick ever since he sold out

ugh

Pretty sure the Grammys are just an elaborate satirical awards show

[2] lol

It's obviously a ploy by the illuminati

yeah the weeknd puts out his worst most generic stuff yet and gets a nod at the grammys, classic

where the fuck is KAMASI?

on any decent best-of-the-year list

I like Uptown Funk, but D'Angelo sweeps record of the year for me.

I hate that Slipknot is on this list.

It is really refreshing to see August Burns Red though...

"I'm going to officially stop paying attention to the Grammys if To Pimp a Butterfly doesn't win Album of the Year"

do people seriously give a fuck about the grammys?

Pretty sure most of the artists ( with the possible exception of T Swiz ) don't even give a shit about the grammys.. I've heard quite a few express as much, so yeah, good for them at least.

u think i give a dam about a grammy

But Slim, what if you win? Would it be weird?

Shit idk.... That u Swiz?

why
so you guys
can just lie
to get me here so you can
sit me here next to britney spears

Shit, Christina Aguilera better switch me chairs. So I can sit next to Carson Daly and Fred Durst, and hear them argue over who she gave head to first.

If the Grammy judges had a brain in their head they would swap out one of the Pop noms with that verse right there, ford.

Oh be quiet, the Grammys have always been about popularity.

zero fucks given

I really hope August Burns Red wins. They've been so great for so damn long.

zero fucks given [2]

would love to see something like this again

the mama can blow so i gave her a grammy
i dont even know her name i think it was tammy

Gonna go ahead and guess that neither Lamb of God or Slipknot will be winning anything. It is the grammy's after all

That's basically humbleness pandering, isn't it? Guy sends humble text message, then posts it online so that everyone can see what a super humble good guy he is. I don't really buy that.

"That's basically humbleness pandering, isn't it? Guy sends humble text message, then posts it online so that everyone can see what a super humble good guy he is. I don't really buy that."

not really. he's just expressing his thoughts to the public, and decided to just screenshot the text

that was two years ago? lmao

history gonna repeat ittself

If he wanted to do that he should've just posted a message saying he wanted Kendrick to win, not post a screenshot that could've made him look like an opportunist trying to make himself look like the nice guy in the situation. It still looks like a shallow "Hey guys lookit how much of a nice guy I am lookit lookit."

yeah just making a public statement was prolly the better move, but it's still basically the same thing...

oh my gerd grammys I'm excited but I'll never know why

me neither

do people watch this?

I'm happy with the Sevendust nomination, those guys deserved it.

Slipknot new metal album of the year? Nicky Minaj best rap? We all know these grammys are ridicolous, but come onnn

Wow, there's actually some pretty good acts on there. I might actually give a shit this year. :P

If Courtney Barnett doesn't win BNA or To Pimp a Butterfly isn't AotY, I stop watching the Grammys forever.

if ghost doesn't win the best metal performance category I'll be shocked
cool that bill frisell got nominated

Why does this even exist anymore. Please, just stop.

if you even think tpab has a chance at winning album of the year, yr either a methhead or yr like 12

I would love it if Ghost won and burned their drumset on stage .Someguest rules.

lol

"if you even think tpab has a chance at winning album of the year, yr either a methhead or yr like 12'"

err it definitely has some semblance of a chance

Can't wait for all the 'HOW IS IT NOT GOOD IF IT WON A GRAMMY' shit

that only happens on youtube videos of baby by justin bieber.
