Grammys on Sunday

Whose tuning in?
I am.
I really want to see Katy Perry and Nicki Minaj finally get the grammies they deserve.
I want to see Sam Smith win best new artist.
And I can't wait to see Rihanna perform in her usual oversexualized half nude outfits.
So what are you expecting to see and who do you want to win overall?
 
The Grammys are dumb as shit and should have no weigh in on who should get awards. The Grammys are known for their dumbass choices when it comes to music. I mean NIN winning best metal performance in 93? Jethro Tull winning best heavy metal album in 89? The Grammys are a fvcking joke.
 
I suppose, but they're still known for being labeled as the highest form of awards in the Music Industry, which is why I'll be tuning in to see who wins what.
If Iggy Azalea wins Best Rap Album then I will side with you completely, that'll be a JOKE.
 
The omission of Jeff Hanneman in the "in memory" portion of the ceremony was an absolute TRAVESTY (especially since Hanneman was a two time winner of this same establishment )! Whoever is in charge of the Grammys deserves to be severely beaten just for that alone! They'd better bring up Wayne Static!

I don't watch the Grammy's any more just because of the reasons above. It's just one big glorified show with trophies.

Additionally, "winners" of the Metal category are frequently either cover songs (Motorhead's cover of Metallica's "Whiplash", for instance...and Metallica is a band that Motorhead influenced to even exist in the first place), songs that are 30+ years old using the "Live Album" loophole (Iron Man, Dissident Aggressor, need I say more), or flat out given the award based solely on the artist's name recognition (the aforementioned Jethro Tull incident being the most infamous example).

The so-called Rock n Roll Hall of Fame is even worse! While the Grammys are simply clueless, the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame is willfully shitting on Rock n Roll itself. You know who's in? Madonna! You know who's not? Deep Purple! Who seriously believes that Madonna is more Rock n Roll than Deep Purple? I am dead serious here...I want a show of hands who think Madonna is more Rock n Roll than Deep Purple, because that is exactly the logic the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame is displaying...I mean the establishment's name is the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame, is it not? Grabbing a Les Paul onstage and playing a Pantera riff is a really nice stage antic, but it does NOT make Madonna any more Rock n Roll than a damn kazoo player on the street. And don't tell me Ozzy can't be inducted as a solo artist because he's already in as a member of Black Sabbath; there is a LOT of precedent for multiple inductions. By my count alone, all 4 Beatles are double inductees, as well as at least 3 members of the Yardbirds are double (Jimmy Page, Jeff Beck, and Eric Clapton, with Clapton being the only triple inductee in the establishment's history). There's so much bullshit with that particular establishment that I don't know where to end...so hurry up and get Ozzy in as a solo artist!

Madonna is in the rock n roll hall of fame..? What? I never knew this. What type of foolery?
You'd be surprised at all the bullshit I know about that establishment. In 2007, they started putting rap groups in, all while the likes of Alice Cooper (Class of 2011), Rush (Class of 2013), Heart (same class as Rush), and ESPECIALLY KISS (Class of 2014) had all been eligible as recently as 1999 and continued to be shafted for upwards of 15 years! Van Halen waited 4 years, and THAT was a major travesty because they are by far the most important band of the 80s, and Eddie Van Halen in particular was the biggest influence on young guitarists, rivaled only by the late Randy Rhoads. Black Sabbath singlehandedly invented an entire subgenre of Rock n Roll (that being heavy metal), and they got shafted for 11 years.

Bottom line is, establishments within the music business who are supposed to be honoring artists for their work are generally full of shit one way or another.

I'm in disbelief. Heart is one of my favorite rock bands, are you saying they aren't included in halls of fame and don't have grammys?
This is ridiculous. I never knew any of this. I always assumed people like KISS, Heart, and Alice Cooper HAD grammys and titles in several halls of fame. What's the music industry rewarding system coming to?

I don't even keep up with the Grammys, but I do know that the eligibility criteria for the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame is that an artist must have released a studio album at least 25 years ago. For the record, Heart, Rush, Alice Cooper, and KISS are in, but when you look at how long it took these bands to get in, it almost feels like they never did get in, and they most likely got in because of YEARS of backlash from dedicated fans, such as New York radio DJ and That Metal Show host Eddie Trunk.

And if you want to bring up non-musicians, Jim Marshall needs to be in NOW, because he invented THIS toy for guitarists.

This generation, rock n roll is dead. I'm sad to see it go. I've seen 3 rock bands go from rock, to selling out and going to pop in 2013-14.
There's never anymore originality, and no more REAL rock. We live in a world where Imagine Dragons call themselves Rock n Roll experts.

Madonna is in are you shitting me? Holy shit, if Madonna is rock and roll then I am the Prime Minister of Canada. What the fvk is the head of the Grammy is thinking and what drugs is he on?

What a total slap to the face of late great artists of Rock: Kurt Cobain, Layne Staley, Eric Clapton(as you said) and even Johnny Cash! It's like they're spitting on their damn graves. Total disrespect.

Times are changing and not for the better.
