BlackMage	Date: December 10, 2005 @ 8:39 AM Meh. Better than nothing, I guess.
GreatGooglyM...	Date: December 10, 2005 @ 9:29 AM GRAMMY? Better than nothing? It fucking sure is!
Alecs	Date: December 11, 2005 @ 5:51 PM It proves there's hope yet for music in the mainstream world. It'd be a fucking robbery if he lost. I DARE the grammy commitee to pick someone else. Go ahead, do it! Just don't be surprised when I drag you from your bed at night, tie you to your car and push it to the ocean. Also, don't be surprised when I stand there laughing at your inhumane murder. ahem So that's great about Vai's grammy nomination
GreatGooglyM...	Date: December 12, 2005 @ 8:44 AM Eric Johnson's Bloom got also a nomination. In Pop category though...
killtrix	Date: December 12, 2005 @ 1:30 PM That's good for Vai,but the Grammy's are chosen by a commitee of old stuffy non talented group of sob's who are out of touch with today's music..and it's just a popularity contest and i would hope Vai is indifferent to being the winner. In the past many great hard rock bands have been robbed of a Grammy..but who gives a rats ass like they care,plus Metal as a category was not even in the list till a short time ago..and I'm sure they were forced "kicking and screaming" into recoginizing Metal a genre. F&%k the Grammy's.
GreatGooglyM...	Date: December 12, 2005 @ 1:39 PM yeah, I admit that Grammy's are pretty shitty sometimes. DhoomsPic... Fallout Boy is a nominee for the best new artist of the year!
Alecs	Date: December 12, 2005 @ 10:13 PM Hey, I never said all was fixed! You have to walk before you can run, and you have to run before can outrun my machine gun you tasteless motherfuckers!!!!!
guitaroo	Date: December 13, 2005 @ 10:33 AM Well that's cool
GeneHilbert	Date: December 13, 2005 @ 10:43 AM I have never watch those shows, I have always believed the fix was in...
Alecs	Date: December 13, 2005 @ 9:07 PM Well of course it's fixed, but Vai getting nominated shows a glimmer of hope in a dark sky. It also shows a really hyper teenager making shitty metaphors then attempting make up for by dissing himself. It then shows him realizing "Oh, shit! I'm just looking like MORE of an idiot!". It truly is a vicious cycle, those Grammy's.
zedsalt	Date: December 14, 2005 @ 11:11 AM I just read where Eric Johnson has never released an album that received zero Grammy nominations. I realize that has little to do with the topic at hand; I just found it remarkable.
GreatGooglyM...	Date: December 14, 2005 @ 11:19 AM yeah, EJ is a great guitarist
BlackMage	Date: December 14, 2005 @ 2:48 PM "yeah, I admit that Grammy's are pretty shitty sometimes. " Exactly.
Alecs	Date: December 14, 2005 @ 4:34 PM ^ Case in point: Last year Ray Charles lost "album of the year" to green day.
kingo	Date: December 14, 2005 @ 5:31 PM So?
efrench9	Date: December 14, 2005 @ 8:53 PM Look at the history of the 'metal' grammy. On the very first award ceremony Jethro Tull beat out Metallica! Nothing against Tull but WTF? Grammy's are shit.
Alecs	Date: December 14, 2005 @ 9:24 PM Lol yea dude, Jethro didn't even show up they knew they had such little chance
GreatGooglyM...	Date: December 15, 2005 @ 9:28 AM Metallica
tooles	Date: December 15, 2005 @ 2:50 PM Enter Sandman
Alecs	Date: December 15, 2005 @ 4:38 PM Well yea Jethro totally kicks metallica's ass, but are they METAL?! Don't think so, buddy!
tooles	Date: December 15, 2005 @ 7:07 PM Haha yeah I'm with you on that one. When I think metal, I don't think flutist.
Alecs	Date: December 15, 2005 @ 8:36 PM it's floutist, buddy
tooles	Date: December 15, 2005 @ 9:55 PM 'Smy bad dude.
kingo	Date: December 15, 2005 @ 10:12 PM Crest of a Knave album should be excluded from that category. Thank." id="185362">Please explicitly define "metal" and then explain why the Crest of a Knave album should be excluded from that category. Thank.
tooles	Date: December 16, 2005 @ 12:29 AM I dunno, it just doesn't feel like metal. Songs like Farm on the Freeway and Budapest certainly don't sound much like metal, but I can see where you're coming from on Steel Monkey. Probably the least metal-like quality is the vocals, which are less dynamic than, say, Robert Plant's, or even Metallica's singer's (I don't know much about that band) in their range and volume over a song. And like I said before, the flute really throws me off. We talked about metal here a month or so ago, lemme see if I can find the forum link.
tooles	Date: December 16, 2005 @ 12:33 AM http://www.dmusic.com/forum/guitar/19439 That's got some stuff. Not that we, or specifically, me, are any leading authority on it. Could I counter and ask you why you think Crest belongs in metal?
Alecs	Date: December 16, 2005 @ 5:18 PM Lol dude it's just kingo bing weird just ignore him like the rest of us
kingo	Date: December 16, 2005 @ 10:40 PM Yeah, exactly. No actually my point, which is often missed because I'm just weird like not the rest of selves, is that categories are fucking stupid. And it's such a cliche (with a little thing over the "e") to bring up that whole Jethro Tull won a Grammy for metal HOLY SHIT WHAT A CROCK thing. Categories make no sense because shit is rarely able to fit in a little, tiny oblong slot, and when it DOES fit in such a slot it's a pretty good bet that it's going to be something that sucks.
Alecs	Date: December 17, 2005 @ 12:44 AM true true o and btw, to get the accent over the e on cliché, hold down ALT-1-3-0 (use it all the time for spanish class)
killtrix	Date: December 17, 2005 @ 6:35 AM You label me i label you?Ahh forget it.
Alecs	Date: December 17, 2005 @ 12:49 PM pulls out label maker Let's go, killtrix!
shadowself	Date: December 17, 2005 @ 5:13 PM Tull won in the metal category because there is no "progressive medieval" category.
efrench9	Date: December 18, 2005 @ 11:48 PM Tull won the Grammy because the merit on which awards are given are mostly slanted toward the people who run the grammies and of course they are swayed by sales.I would bet my hard earned money that them fuck-tards never even listened to Savatage, Hall of the Mountain King, NEVER! Again... Grammies are shit. Vai don't need the statue to prove he's a boss on the 'git'

efrench9	Date: December 18, 2005 @ 11:50 PM sorry my refresh always double posts me!
GreatGooglyM...	Date: December 19, 2005 @ 11:57 AM No he doesn't. You're right about that.
