Dan H. Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 I know complaining about the Grammy's is a fools errand but Disturbed and Beyonce for best rock??? Really?? Beyonce made a great album this year that is already up for like ten Grammys, can't we make some room for some of the other great rock artists that came out with material this year? And in a different country Disturbed's cover of Sound of Silence would have them in a gulag 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maynard Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 Beyonce is vastly overrated. Being a feminist black woman practically awards her automatic Grammys. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Majestic Beast Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 This grammy is a waste of time,it's just adversting and promote the wrong people as "best". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silent Jay Posted December 7, 2016 Author Share Posted December 7, 2016 Senior vice president of awards at the Recording Academy, Bill Freimuth, recently commented on why Metallica was nominated in the Best Rock Song category for the upcoming Grammy Awards despite being an epitome of metal in so many ways. Mr. Freimuth tells UCR: "To me, it's a really good sign for metal - that they are having a wider appeal out of just the strictly metal community into the larger rock community. My take on that is they should be really happy that they are getting that broader recognition." He also addressed Beyonce's nomination in the Best Rock Performance category with "Don't Hurt Yourself," saying: "It might raise some questions but, my God, that track rocks." Bill added: "A lot of the artists - and Beyonce is a perfect example - are feeling a lot more freedom with genre fluidity to just make the music they want to make, to do something different and take advantage - in her case - of her star power in order to continue to make the music they want to make. "As a rock fan, I remain very hopeful that we'll continue to see a lot of great music in the genre." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No but you clearly insinuated that her getting accolades are to do with her being black and a feminist (though I've no idea whether the latter is accurate) but the fact is shes been immensely popular right from the get go, way before anyone gave a shit about her affiliations. Also, I find it interesting that you think that being black gives you a leg up in the recieving of accolades, when a debate has been raging in recent times that the exact opposite is the case.

Silverburst80 Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 What an exciting list of nominees. I stumbled across the MTV music awards the other day and they were going through the "alternative rock" nominees and one was Coldplay...rock truly is fucked. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And in a different country Disturbed's cover of Sound of Silence would have them in a gulag Used to like Disturbed. Saw them many times in concert. The last cd was not as angry as their past cds. Dave has an amazing voice, but the anger is gone. This was one of my go to bands, when I was pissed. Godsmack was the same for me, then Sully lost his anger too. Beyoncé is not rock. I hate the Grammy's. I thought Metallica was nominated? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dontdamnmeuyi2015 Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 I hate the Grammys. They don't show any metal bands except for Metallica and the rock category never has anyone I like in it. Lately all they show is the same artists for pop and R&B and hip hop. How can they be all three? It's usually boring as hell too. The host this year is funny, but not enough to make me sit through 3 hours of shirt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
