How has this band not won a grammy yet? I'm pretty sure they are nominated every single year and always come up empty handed. And dont get me wrong I love the Foo's but I don't think they should have even been in section for best hard rock/metal performance

    There is no metal category anymore. Hard rock and metal categories were combined this year.
    I wish I was as fortunate, as fortunate as me.

    FF aren't really hard rock or metal, especially when you consider the other nominees, Dream Theater, Mastodon and Megadeth. Just assume they put Sum41 in there b/c there's no "Utterly worthless" category.

    Maybe that is because Metal is as relevant as barber shop quartets at this time.

    All rock music is pretty irrelevant so I doubt that has anything to do with it. Which probably explains why crusty shit like Arcade Fire and Bon Iver is winning Grammys

    There are plenty of relevant and terrific rock bands out there today. If you look to the Grammy's or Billboard charts to find your Rock Music you will surely get lost.

    Yeah but since we're talking about Grammy's or mainstream in general, there is very little good rock music with any relevance.

    just like there is plenty of good metal and hard rock being made, it's just not getting picked up by the mainstream.

    I couldn't care less about the grammy's It's always been a pop awards show that sucks ass.

    If you are looking for Rock bands at the Grammy's good luck. The old MTV awards was where you'd find rock bands.

    My hubby and I were actually saying the same thing when we were watching. It's because of bullshit like that why the grammy's shouldn't be taken seriously.

    As for people saying that metal's not relevant anymore...are you serious???

    I'd say Rust In Peace. But, that is probably their more commercially successful one. For good reason though, it really is excellent.

    I ordered Countdown to Extinction. My favorite Metallica albums are Lightning & Puppets, if that's any help in your recommendations. Thanks!

    I think we are in a state right now where all music is relevant. there is no one dominant genre at the moment. call that a state of mediocrity, call it a state of musical democracy, whatever, but I'd say metal is as relevant as hip hop is as relevant as grunge is as relevant as pop. I don't like most of those genres, but a lot of people do.

    just don't look to old men in suits to guide you on what's relevant or not.

    Actually there are 2 dominant genre's and have been for quite a while. Hip Hop and Country sprinkled with male/female solo pop artists.

    Of course I actually don't care. I tend to look at the college charts more to find newer bands.

    I meant grammy wise. The used to throw some in there for attention but nowadays they really are just there to not segregate the genre. They added Hard Rock to their category so that they never win basically.

    My whole point is if you don't watch the Grammy's all these frustrations will go away or will never be brought up.

    Ahh okay now that I agree with. It's very clear that they have absolutely no concept at all of what is really out there - they're just looking at what's making money. There's a huge metal movement going on right now...maybe it's a good thing if it stays under the radar.

    The really bad news is that the people who run the Grammys are probably the same people who pick and choose who gets into the Rock n' Roll HOF :(
