Middle age white guys always cry that "It's all black guys on the Grammys" or "They don't play any music I've even heard of" or worse, "I haven't bought any new recordings in 2 decades"

Remember, the Grammy's are to celebrate artists that had a release in 2018, not artists from back in the 70s.

So let's get you guys educated on who the Rock nominees are, so you don't sound foolish at work on Monday:

Arctic Monkeys - Four Out Of Five

Chris Cornell - When Bad Does Good

FEVER 333 - MADE AN AMERICA

Greta Van Fleet - Highway Tune

Halestorm - Uncomfortable

I don’t usually care about the Grammys (BTW Best Metal Performance is not given out on the actual awards show), but that BTBAM record is really great. Here’s to hoping most of the rest of these bozos are celibate!

Ghost is awesome. Saw them with Iron Maiden in 2017. Greta Van Fleet great as well. If they win a Grammy, WTF cares. That won't make them better or worse. Leave the Grammys to all the new Auto Tuned performers that think it actually means anything.

Get over it.

Everyone was pissed at Metallica, so it was the best way to spit in their face. (and the actual category back then was Hard Rock/Heavy Metal )

Bring Me The Horizon is a great rock band...MANTRA is awesome and Drown off their last album got me hooked on them.

I know the knock on Greta is that they sound like a Led Zeppelin tribute band, but is that a bad thing? Personally I like them and look forward to more.

Actually, I thought the Grammy's were for ill-informed monolithic minded entertainers to shove their unsolicited political opinions down my throat. I've pretty much stopped watching all awards ceremonies for this reason. Don't mean to start a political discussion (I know such is taboo here), but my point is that most people turn to entertainers for entertainment. When they stray from this in what is advertised to be an entertainment setting, it is just off-putting. Kind of hard to enjoy one's momentary escape from reality when having to listen to all the blabbering, regardless of one's political leaning.

For those not wanting to hear opinions of celebrities on an award show , I’d recommend skipping that and watching
“Team America-World Police”
instead. Celebrities and their opinions get roasted.

Are Metallica and their fans still crying about when Jethro Tull won the Grammy in the Heavy Metal category? Sheeeesh, that was the 1989 Grammys. Jane's Addiction and Iggy Pop were also nominated in the Heavy Metal category that year. Metallica could have been nice about it and congratulated Jethro Tull for the win, but James and Lars went on to bitch and moan that Jethro Tull was not Heavy Metal. Lame... This was the year I stopped watching the Grammys. I was tired of all these "metal bands" bitching and moaning about the Grammy awards...

I saw both Jethro Tull and Metallica in concert during the late 1980s, and Jethro Tull was the better band. Happy that JT won that award... They deserved it...

Not only are they still crying, but they seem to be oblivious to the fact that Metallica has won EIGHT Grammys.

"Whannn, we lost to Tull 31 years ago, and thus only have 8 Grammys......"

A lot of politicians were formerly entertainers primarily, so what's the problem? Reagan and Trump come to mind.

The Grammys are great because 12,000 of the "everyday joe" guys in the industry get to vote.

It's not a committee like the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame.

And it's great because bands like Deafheaven with their 12 minute, probably unmarketable, "Honeycomb" get some recognition. That's pretty badass.

That's the joy of it.

Each entertainer will shout out some crazy slogan "Legalize it", "Lock her up", or "Keep abortion free" and think they have educated the unwashed masses.

No one's mind is ever changed or opinion swayed; people hold on to their parent's beliefs, hell or high water.
