RichardNixon Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 (edited) The Grammys are taking place on 1/31/'21, four months from now. While it remands to be seen how well "Hard Skool" performs on radio/streams, the tour has done very well and GN'R are still an A-list band. Could "Hard Skool" receive a nomination for rock or metal performance? Body Count won a Grammy last year for "Bum Rush," so why not GN'R?

Live Like a Suicide Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 I don't see why not, but it would probably depend on how much the band pushes it. If they let it fizzle out like Absurd, then i don't see anything happening. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AxlRoseCDII Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 I doubt it. Rock music isn’t commercially relevant (at least for the Grammys), let alone a band as old as GNR. GNR has also done fuck all in terms of promotion which doesn’t bode well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’ll have competition from “rock” bands like Imagine Dragons and bullshit like that. People consider rock bands anything with a guitar and a bass nowadays. Guns are a bunch of geezers at the Grammys, I don’t see how they make the cut Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon Comstock Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 Do people still care about, or watch the Grammys? Honest question. I thought public interest in those kind of award shows had tanked over the last few years? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichardNixon Posted September 25, 2021 Author Share Posted September 25, 2021 A Grammy would be a feather in their cap and maybe an incentive to get the album out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Free Bird Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 I think because of the name "GNR" it might get nominated but Hard Skool, as happy as we might are, has not the quality to win a Grammy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom-Ass Posted September 26, 2021 Share Posted September 26, 2021 It is 100% possible considering their track record.. Megadeth didn't win a grammy until Dystopia a few years ago.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaskingApathy Posted September 26, 2021 Share Posted September 26, 2021 It has been released before the deadline (Sept 30th) so it could be submitted for consideration. Even just being nominated would be a big deal (not that the Grammys matter that much now). I would be excited to see it get nominated and GnR going there to perform at the show, that would be really cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draguns Posted September 26, 2021 Share Posted September 26, 2021 It'll probably be Jethro Tull who wins the rock/metal category. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

papashaun Posted September 26, 2021 Share Posted September 26, 2021 You can't win a Grammy for "Best Rock Performance" in today's pop culture, unless it has a guest appearance by a rapper with "Lil" in his stage name, and features some computerized "beats" in the background, that over-ride the actual instruments being played. GnR can do a "remix" of Hard Skool, by bringing in a "rapper" with a name like "Lil Ding Dong" to spit some "bars" during the guitar solo, and they might actually have a chance. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
