Grammy Discussion Thread

[Wiiman95]

So if you didn't know, the Grammy's are on. Right now. As I am typing this, The Zac Brown Band just won the award for best new artist(SSPU Should have won IMO) So this thread is meant for the discussion of the award show. DISCUSS.

[pacifistWITHgun]

Phoenix won their' category. That's all I care about so I'm happy.

[hawkofva]

SilverSun PickUps are new?

[LibertineStripes]

Green Day won best Rock Album. That shows you how much of a joke the Grammys are.

[RockBandRocker]

I didn't follow the Grammy noms? Were Muse nominated for anything?

[chumsicles]

What's there to discuss? A grammy is worth about as much as my soccer trophy from when I was 7

/agreed


i wont appreciate the grammys until they have post-rock and/or punk categories

[General Lein979]

Green Day won best Rock Album. That shows you how much of a joke the Grammys are.It was going up against:
Black Ice - AC/DC
Live from Madison Square Garden - Eric Clapton & Steve Winwood
Big Whiskey and the GrooGrux King - Dave Matthews Band
No Line on the Horizon - U2

I'm not surprised it won.

[the atomic sasquatch]

anyone know all the winners

[chumsicles]

Big Whiskey and the GrooGrux King - Dave Matthews Band
No Line on the Horizon - U2

I'd take AC/DC's latest batch of interchangeable RAWK songs over anything Green Day has ever done

[Kariodude]

Black Ice - AC/DC

Wow. Yeah Green Day definitely deserved to win.

Man, Clapton and Winwood totally should of won that.

[General Lein979]

Man, Clapton and Winwood totally should of won that.Live Retreads from an album that barely charted and the hard copy version is discontinued vs. high charting and new material?

[Alright_Computer]

I share Homer Simpson's view of the Grammy's.

[seriousbusson]

Live Retreads from an album that barely charted and the hard copy version is discontinued vs. high charting and new material?

In this case, yes, I'd say that this is a more award worthy album than freaking U2.

[topperharley]

Live Retreads from an album that barely charted and the hard copy version is discontinued vs. high charting and new material?

Yes. Retreads or not, it's Clapton and Winwood. And high chart position does not equal quality.

[General Lein979]

Yes. Retreads or not, it's Clapton and Winwood. And high chart position does not equal quality.It does hint at relevancy as an album though. Even on this site which has alot of people with diverse and very in depth music taste there is no reference to this album outside of the Grammy threads. Had you even heard of this album before you read the nominations?

[JohnTheDrummer]

Just started about an hour ago here and some crappy band just played...

new music sucks X-(

So don't watch it. :)

[afterstasis]

i don't think i've ever watched the grammy's... i don't think i ever will.

[Oscar-Rio]

i don't think i've ever watched the grammy's... i don't think i ever will.

ditto. I wasn't even aware they were on tonight.

off topic: by the way, how's your cat fairing?

[sumo390]

Was I the only one who saw the note chart when bon jovi was singing Livin on a Prayer?

[Kariodude]

When I heard it all I could think was "Wow they suck live"

as far as i know he wasn't up for any grammy's tonight, but i could be wrong since i also didn't know the ceremonies were being held last night.

health-wise, he's doing worse after a day or two of doing a lot better. i think the roommate may take him to the vet today.

[Wolfbeckett]

Silversun Pickups were the best band nominated for "best new band" but they aren't new so the Ting Tings should have won. Best Rock Album to Green Day is tragic but nothing else that was nominated was that impressive either so for my money the whole category is a wash. Best Metal Performance should definitely have gone to Slayer or Megadeth, I love Judas Priest but giving the award to a live performance of an old song rather than a band that actually put out new material last year is pretty much BS in my opinion. Other than those three I have very little to say since the Grammy's suck except to say that Imogen Heap should have won Best Pop Instrumental Performance cause Imogen Heap is awesome.

[TheCrimsonSaint]

I can't believe that I'm the only one who thought that the Zac Brown Band was totally awesome when they got up and performed with Leon Russell.

[bmaninc]

Makes sense to me since I don't know who either of those people are.

[TheCrimsonSaint]

Neither did I before last night.

[Cubecubed]

Green day won and should have, i mean look at the other albums nominated. SSPU should have won best new artist,if not them then MGMT.

[Lameboy19]

the only thing that was mediocre from the grammys was Lady Gaga's performance with Elton John..... and that was about it


I also raged when they called Green Day "punk"


and Taylor Swift can't sing live

after miss Swift tried her high note for the 6th time I gave up, It wasn't as bad as the VMA's though!

[Ehfahq]

Can somebody send a memo to Lady Gaga informing her that shes not Marilyn Manson circa Mechinal Animals.

Kthanxs

!

the was the worst thing that happened....by far.Green Definitely overreached with their performance, i will admit.also that Jamie Fox travesty was easily the worst thing i have ever seen. until the thing later in the show with Eminem,Lil' Wayne,and Travis Barker.

Drives me insane every single time I hear it.

wut

nah, I am proud to say I am a Gaga fan, which maybe why I turned it on (granted I should have turned it off but Colbert was mildly amusing)


Green Day's preformance was way too over the top for a song that isn't even that good


I forgot about the Jamie Foxx preformance (I was trying to block it out) but that was atroucious


and thank god I didn't see Eminem with Lil' Wayne and Travis, I might not be typing this right now

[Wiiman95]

I lost all hope in the music industry when they announced Taylor Swift won album of the year.


/Mini-Rant

[TheCrimsonSaint]

The rap trio thing was pretty awesome. The only thing bad about it was that CBS kept trying to mute the damn thing as a way of censoring it.

That was CBS? I thought something was screwed up with my TV's audio connection

That's what I thought until I called up Dish to make sure my satellite wasn't ****ing up.

[Fennz]

An awards show that is purely subjective. I love it,

this is where we differ,i guess. To me,Lady Gaga represents everything that is vapid and stupid in music.

there is much much worse representations of music

but then again it's a matter of taste I guess

[californication]

The best performance IMO was the Les Paul tribute with Jeff Beck and that throwback singer. The rap trio was pretty good, and I love Beyonce's voice, so I enjoyed her performance. Pink was decent also. Everything else was forgettable.

i applaud your effort,sir. and yes, all of those are terrible.

[chumsicles]

Lady Gaga is slightly worse than Three Days Grace, and Mini Daddy is at least entertaining in its horribleness

"ARRIBA LA MANO ARRIBA"

[Starfleet_Rambo]

Lady Gaga reigns over crap like Three Days Grace. :mad:

[chumsicles]

feh, it's all crap anyway

[Lameboy19]

"ARRIBA LA MANO ARRIBA"

is that what he's saying?

I will admit I do like the chiptune beat in the background

[chumsicles]

That's what he says in the beginning, which means "put your hand up" (yes one hand). And then he sings about how he's the most beautiful, tender and shortest boy for the whole song.
