blueschica Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 Have the Grammy's ever been good? This was the 60th Year I believe. Don't you think the Grammy's were good in the 60's 780's and 80's? 90's too I would assume. Remember when Jethro Tull beat out Metallica for what "Best Rock Album?" Metallica even performed that night!!! LOL! I loved it! Ever since Cliff Burton passed away Metallica has been CRAP! Just like the Grammy's! I don’t mind Metallica especially back then BUT... Jethro Tull > Metallica I don’t give a shit about the genre people want to label bands. Tull never labeled themselves anything. They just made albums. Yes! YOU ARE "ON FIRE" JB! Totally agree! Signed, VAN HALEN When will real VAN HALEN get a life achievement award???? NEVER! I haven’t been interested in VH since that Phys.Ed teacher bit in the Hot for Teacher video. And I don’t mind Sammy either but I’m as interested in him as Metallica’s Load and follow up albums... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hk_xxoi-1xQ&sns=em My husband, the chemistry teacher, is still in love with Miss Chemistry! I only saw part of the Grammys because I wanted to watch "Victoria" during the other half. The best part I saw was Chris Stapleton and Emmy Lou Harris singing together, even if it was as a memorial tribute. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fraroc Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 Personally I don't give a f**k if Sabaton or Lacuna Coil never ever win a Grammy. They're too good for it anyway. Rock isn't dead, it's just too good to be mainstream 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RUSHHEAD666 Posted January 29, 2018 Author Share Posted January 29, 2018 C'mon Earl, we will know that rock is dead when The Grammys are acknowledging and praising it So The Grammys ignore great bands ?? That's fine by me !! Hahaha! I know Lucas! I wish my mom never told me it was on! I never would have put it on! It's embarrassing being an American watching that tripe.

You blow me away! I used to ski all the time in the 80's and 90's. Then the snowboarders took over so I said FUCKK IT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't believe you just wrote that. I think that goes way back on here. "Yosemite Sam on crystal meth." That is epic. Who coined that term? Johnny Blaze?

RUSHHEAD666 Posted January 29, 2018 Author Share Posted January 29, 2018 "Savage Amusement" is mainstream. Will the Scorpions ever get a Life Time Achievement Award? Could you imagine them all getting back together for a live performance? Michael HATES Rudolph. I would LOVE to see Uli, Michael, Jabs and Rudolf all on the stage together! HERMAN ZE GERMAN!

I'm so glad I saw the "1984" Tour!! After that yep, never the same. Hell I saw the 5150 Tour. BTO opened. BTO was better1!! Metallica's "And Justice For All" record is good but you can have the "Black Album." MTeVIL Ummmm, Quite a "LOAD" of shite there buddy. I used to know Jason Newstead very well as he and his girlfriend used to live in the east bay area and he would come through my line all the time late at night to shop.He is actually a very very cool cat. Great guy. I would always give him shit about how I couldn't never hear his bass lines on the "And Justice For All Record." He would just shake his head, and say "f**k you Earl." Classic!!!! That wasn’t Jason Newstead! That was me! Don’t you remember? Listen: “f**k you Earl!” See? It was me! :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HemispheresserehpsimeH Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 Rock's not really dead. Mainstream rock just sucks. Rock's biggest "saviours" are just retro rock regurgitation. The better rock bands are below the surface, which is where the Grammys don't look. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
launchpad67a Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 I find it fascinating that all those celebs took time away from their rape culture to actually hold an awards show. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HemiBeers Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 (edited) I can't remember the last time I watched or even cared about the Grammys. It was probably when I had hair. What's more laughable is the MTV awards for videos they don't play anymore. The political slant of these award shows illustrates how desperate they are to gain any attention or relevance. Without the faux 'controversy', no one would even remember, care or give a shit about the rest of the show.

Syrinx Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 The mainstream music business sickens me these days. All this American Idol, The Voice etc BS!! Some of the greatest singers of all time would never get past round one on these crap shows! Whatever happened to musicians learning to play an instrument?? Every freaking performer at these shows has to surround themselves with a bunch of contorting, writhing loser "dancers". Why?? Because it distracts from the lack of talent! And if no one is actually playing an instrument, and it is all backing tapes, then something has to take up all of that stage space. It is unbelievable. What is that new contest show?? Someone gets picked to record a single and it automatically goes to number one. No one "earns" it anymore. Look pretty, have a good singing voice and the "formula" takes over. The average fan / listener is a sheep. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine if Geddy or Ozzy auditioned for Canadian Idol, or Britain´s Got Talent...their audition wouldn´t even be aired. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
