The Grammy’s have been announced, and it appears that Tool have won one, and lost the other. They (really Adam) won the award for Best Recording Package for 10,000 Days, but were beaten by Wolfmother(!) for the Best Hard Rock Performance. Thanks to Stoney8 from Toolarmy for the tip.
Let the Grammy bashing commence!
worthy winners.

Grammy’s are a joke. The Dixie chicks got one. they should get rid of all the bullshit awards.

If they did that then they wouldn’t have any awards to give out!!
The Grammy award’s have their place but they like the MTV Awards, or the ARIA’s they are voted on by different demographics.
I’m making my own award show. It’ll be hosted at my neighbor’s place this year. We’ll be awarding all the shitty award ceremonies for their outstanding job at what they do. Let’s see how many send representatives.
I want to see an awards ceremonie for the worst albums and artists of the year. Think about it it makes more sense, “The winner for worst album of the year is Dixie Chicks, here you go we took the liberty of shredding your recording contract ealier, now all thats left is to burn your instruments”.
That i would watch.

They cater to a low intellect and they feed the masses. They don’t honor the arts or the artist for what he created. It’s the music business celebrating itself.

I don’t mind tool’s music here and there. It’s just their fans that make my blood boil.
I have to disagree mmortal03 – Just because Tool don’t want to participate in the Grammys they are not necessarily ‘biting the hand that feeds them’. In my eyes, they are merely eating their fill and walking away. If they WANTED more money or awards then sure – show up at the Grammys and play the glad-hand game. Participation in the Grammys is not mandatory therefore how can Maynard be ‘rebelling’. If you don’t recognize the system then there’s nothing to rebel against. And if you think that any of the other acts are motivated to participate in the Grammys… Read more »
Just to put another spin on it. Wolfmother’s album was considered to be a hit by many, where as the releases from NIN, SOAD and Tool were considered to be below their usual level of output. I can’t comment on Buckcherry, but in this light it’s probably no surprise that Wolfmother won.
They dont send a representative to collect it or anything, but they dont reject it.
I’m listening to the mp3 from the sydney show at the moment. i cannot wait until december
