SoulMonster Posted December 7, 2018 Author Share Posted December 7, 2018 If GN'R wins it will be their first Grammy. So THAT'S why they released the boxset! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lio Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 I agree it sounds a bit like an odd category, but you can't blame GNR for that. Who are the other nominees? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The L&L Set? Edit- Had to go back through the thread and figure out what they were actually nominated for. Edited the name of the thread and moved it to the correct section.

Yep, I posted the nominees in a post a short while ago. It says "Locked & Loaded" on GN'R. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soon Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 The only thing that I am excited about by this nomination is the potential to see the big 3 walk the red carpet together and maybe do brief interviews toget.... nah, I couldn't even finish the sentence. Not happening. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Len Cnut Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 There's a grammy for box sets? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soon Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 (edited) 53 minutes ago, EricA said: i wasn't even aware that this category exist I hadnt heard of it either. Apparently its been a category, with one name or another, since 1995. My guess is that its only a televised category if its a really big band with a super popular release? So Im guessing that it hasn't been in the tv presentation of the Grammys very often https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grammy_Award_for_Best_Boxed_or_Special_Limited_Edition_Package Edit: it says "The Grammy Award for Best Boxed or Special Limited Edition Package has been presented since 1995 to an album's art directors. The award is not bestowed upon or shared by the artist unless they are also a credited art director." So that must explain if its not televised, because its not usually the artists themselves who win the award, but the "artistic director" who compiled it. (according to wiki at least, lol). Hopefully Guns identified themselves as part of the artistic direction of the box set. Edited December 7, 2018 by soon 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Judges have to be into the wife swapping scene and have to possess a stackload of Cliff Richard cds. It is a prerequisite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Towelie Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 I'm assuming value for money is not taken into consideration when assessing which releases are up going to be up for nomination? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
