Never surprised by a Metallica nod though. 
Edit: I do like the cover though.

|  | Registered User | | Join Date: Aug 2006 Location: Rochelle, Illinois | | | When Metallica was the best heavy metal band on Earth and true pioneers of the genre, they lost the Grammy for best heavy metal album to Jethro Tull, a band that had been around for decades and wasn't really metal nor particularly heavy.
Now that Metallica has been around for decades and has apparently forgotten how to even play their instruments properly, they could win a Grammy.
What other deserving band would have to be screwed out of it in order for Metallica to recieve the Grammy, now?

They've been around long enough, and made enough good music to prove themselves and they deserve to win. |

Honestly I'm a big Metallica fan but really for their old stuff, they're newer stuff is kind of meh. Although I did like some of Ectasy of Gold, even though the starting guitar sounded sterile and kind of clumsy

Why do people have to be nasty?
So they sold out, does that make them unworthy of some lame award?
I don't think much of the Grammy's but these guys deserve to win, especially since they got screwed out of their last one.

It sounds completely wrong to me on distorted guitar, loses all of its emotion. Seeing as the grammy is an award for this particular song, then all those saying the deserve it for all their past work need to get their heads out of their asses; this ain't about that.

Don't get me wrong, JT is my all-time favorite band and I loved Crest of a Knave, but winning a heavy metal grammy with it was too much even for a die-hard fan like me. Metallica really should have won that award, but I don't think they should win one now because they lost that one. No one should win an award for a crap song because they lost an album award 20 years ago. Not that I'm saying this song is crap (I have no opinion on the song - didn't listen to it), just trying to make a point. Each song/album should be judged on its own merit.

Atypical, not a typical... | | Join Date: Nov 2007 Location: Carlisle, PA | | | Honestly, I had no idea they were still around...
I don't pay much attention to them anymore... After the black album, I stopped listening...
I think they deserved to win before, but that is what happens sometimes... You lose what you should have won...
Honestly, if they win now, after selling out like they did, they are just tarnishing the award the same way it was tarnished when they lost...
Good Luck... |

More power to you guys if you find something good about it, and I realize that it's their creative vision (or lack thereof), but I reserve the right to be somewhat insulted and angry at what I percieve as them resting on their laurels and writing boring music for the sake of making money. Especially after seeing what Mustaine has been up to lately.
I didn't have such a problem with them "selling out" before seeing Some Kind of Monster and finding out just how much they love the dough and just how badly Newsted was treated. And while I don't think it's very mature to jump into a Metallica thread and spoil everyone's rosy glow, I definitely share the feelings expressed by others on the topic. | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
