Its funny because 'A-Milli' was a duet with Corey Gunz but nobody cares.

daft punk just won for Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger?
how far behind is this wtf
|
| |
Glad to see TMV and the Dark Knight soundtrack won
and Metallica too I guess
|
| |
"Best Compilation Soundtrack: Juno"
was I the only one to think that soundtrack sucked?
|
| |
Yes, in the entire world.
|
| |
Judas Priest didn't win! 
|
| |
damn. i'm that hip.
|
| |
Lil Wayne looked like an idiot.

[QuoteBest Metal Performance: Metallica - 'My Apocalypse'[/Quote]
C'mon....Bleed...
|
| |
was I the only one to think that soundtrack sucked?
nope. it certainly did.
Plus it seems like the Grammy people just decided to try and be relevant to the Dark Knight craze, since the soundtrack was the only forgettable aspect of the whole thing.
|
| |
Jonas Brothers and Stevie Wonder performed together?! Did I read that correctly? If I did, I have no hope in the human race anymore. Fucking disgrace.
|
| |
TMV won something. I'm surprised.
|
| |
Prolly cuz your a lame fanboi.
|
| |
the only logical explanation for daft punk is that the song is also a single from Alive 2007, but that single was released in Oct 07....
|
| |
What song did Radiohead play?
|
| |
I wonder if 'Viva La Vida' winning song of the year will re-ignite the Joe Satriani thing. Regardless, a great song and a great record.
Also, go Metallica! My Apocalypse is the best song on Death Magnetic, and worthy of Best Metal Performance.
The Plant/Krauss album seems like a random choice, but then again I haven't heard it. I must give it a listen.
|
| |
So, bullshit basically.
|
| |
Fuck yes on The Mars Volta front!
|
| |
"Best Rap Song: Lil Wayne feat. Static Major - 'Lollipop'"
He doesn't even rap in that song.
|
| |
producer of the year is a joke, right?
|
| |
Best Song From A Movie: Peter Gabriel - 'Down To Earth' (WALL-E)
About the only award I can get behind.
was I the only one to think that soundtrack sucked?
No, I also thought it was pretty balls. That acoustic indie pop shit bores me.
Judas Priest didn't win!
Probably because the Grammys are just a popularity contest and Metallica are like the rich, snooty popular kids in a 1980's movie that the scruffy underdogs led by Michael J Fox have to beat. Only the Grammys don't like heartwarming endings.
|
| |
lol would've loved to see Dragonforce win one.
|
| |
The marching band playing the 5/4 time signature sounded pretty sweet on Radiohead's 15 step.
|
| |
Here is steerpike and his mindless Metallica bashing. Pulling the ol' money card as usuall. Now why dont you tell us about how they suck for suing Napster a couple of times, i love that one.
|
| |
Best Rock Group Performance: AC/DC - 'Rock N Roll Train'
Umm...excuse me but didn't Kings Of Leon win that for Sex On Fire?
|
| |
Here is steerpike and his mindless Metallica bashing. Pulling the ol' money card as usuall.
I said rich because the villains in those 80's movies always are. Durr-durr-durr!
I would also like to point out that my dig was targeted more toward the Grammys than Metallica themselves. After all, it's not like Lars created the Grammys just to give himself the award. Of course, observations like that are a little high-brow for most of the rabble here.This Message Edited On 02.09.09

grammys suck
best zydeco/cajun album was obv FINISTERRE but the zydepunks wern't even nominated =(
|
| |
My Apocalypse was one of the lesser songs on DM imo. They got Best Rock Group Performance right though.
|
| |
lol...good point steerpike. At least you use original points in your Metallica arguments. It makes for better discussion than the people who just bash them for the sake of bashing.
|
| |
Considering they only won one of the three categories they were nominated in (packaging doesn't really count), your point doesn't really hold water.
From what I've seen, they don't give multiple awards to the same artist in the same year most of the time. They've only done that when you get an album/artist/single that's utterly impossible to escape from that particular year.
I stand by my stance that it's a popularity contest and artistic merit isn't a high priority. At least, that's how I rationalize Evanescence winning more Grammys than Bob Marley.
At least you use original points in your Metallica arguments.
When I feel like it. Though I'm planning to shift my ire toward Iced Earth more in the future for being such a colossal let-down.
|
| |
Oh its a popularity contest for sure. It always has been, if they based grammys on who actually makes the best music(wouldn't that be crazy!), it would be a whole lot different. The fact that the jonas brothers were even mentioned casued the whole thing to lose all credibility in my opinion.
|
| |
the most touching dedication of the night was Katy Perry's, who paid tribute to those girls in clubs who bend over a lot with her hit 'I Kissed A Girl.'
lol
|
| |
The Jonas Brothers and Stevie Wonder were surprise bedfellows (or is it such a surprise?)
I lol'ed
|

Plus it seems like the Grammy people just decided to try and be relevant to the Dark Knight craze, since the soundtrack was the only forgettable aspect of the whole thing.
Except for the fact that the score was absolutely stunning, regardless of whether it doesn't work well outside of the context of the movie. See if you can watch the movie again without the score, and I guarantee you it will be a disaster.
Fact of the matter is, out of that list of scores, The Dark Knight deserved it most, closely followed by There Will Be Blood.

"Song Of The Year: Coldplay - 'Viva La Vida'"
Bullshit! It's funny because Satriani has been nominated 14 freekin' times and still hasn't won a single grammy, but a stolen song from his collection that's played with vocals gets song of the year? Give me a break, if i were Satch i'd be pissed as hell.
|

Happens every year, usually to more than one artist.
Shows how much I pay attention to this exercise in industry circle-jerking.
I fail to see how my point of the whole thing being a popularity contest is negated, though. They nominate big-name artists like Metallica and the names in vogue like the Jonas brothers to get ratings. They give what they think are the most popular awards to create the illusion of their taste paralleling the masses, and thus securing their ratings for next year. And the ratings are purely for the sake of getting more money from the sponsors.
That's the way it's always been.
|
| |
And that's the way it will always be done. What a shame...
|

"The marching band playing the 5/4 time signature sounded pretty sweet on Radiohead's 15 step."
Yes, that was my favorite performance of the night. It was extra sweet because I had no idea Radiohead were even performing. It was only Thom and Jonny, but the marching band made up for the rest of the band. Thom was on great form during that performance.

juno has the worst, most cloying soundtrack of any film, ever. kimya dawson should be paid a salary to never open her mouth again.

You cant put metallica in that same catergory. Yes they are a big name, but they had to release a few albums and write alot of good songs before they were on a grammy level. Its not like Metallica just crawled out of the woodwork all of a sudden and got nominated. This Message Edited On 02.09.09

grammys are so damn stupid
how did daft punk win for a song that is like 6 years old

But they're famous now. That's my point. They're the biggest selling metal band of all time.
Well it casts a certain element of doubt on your point, considering you've gotten everything else horribly wrong so far and it's fairly reasonable to assume this is no exception.
Let a blind squirrel wander around long enough he'll eventually find a nut.
|

Ya im not denying that. But you cant disqualify bands from the grammys because they are famous. Especially when they have been around so long and put out so much music. Whats ridiculous are these bands that just appear out of nowhere, havent had to put in the work, and are ripping off other peoples songs and winning grammys for it. I would much rather be hostile towards that than a band that has been around for well over 20 years and has built a huge following and make alot of really good music (even though you probably dont agree with that last part).
|
| |
Glad to see The Mars Volta, Wax Simulacra is for sure the best song to work out to.
|
| |

I'm not saying to disqualify them, just that it would be nice to see an award that show that judged on something other than record sales and pop culture memes.
|
| |
TMBG won woo
|
| |
Umm...so why aren't more people being happy for Kings Of Leon?!
|
| |
Ya wouldn't that be something... bands judged on their actual talent and song writing. In my opinion Metallica can stand with the best of them but they need make a committee that listens to all music...whether they sold millions or hundreds and vote on those. And have the committee be made up of regular people, not a bunch of rich snobs who know nothing of music.
