SLAYER win a Grammy…but does it even mean anything?

Slayer at the Grammys

Well, a congratulations goes out to SLAYER for winning Best Metal Performance for "Eyes of the Insane" beating out LAMB OF GOD's "Redneck", MASTODON's "Colony of Birchmen", MINISTRY's "Lies, Lies, Lies" and STONE SOUR's "30/30-150." The metal award was not given out on the televised broadcast.

The award show itself can be summed up in one word: Yawn! The coolness of the HD broadcast could not hide the fact that this show is completely out of touch with modern times. Thank god I DVRed and we fast forwarded through most of it. It was just atrocious. Dixie Chicks?!? The fuckin' Dixie Chicks?? Puh-lease! And, in case you missed it Tony Bennett was giving shout outs to Target…he's got mad street cred. Screw the Grammys!

Other notable wins from the Grammys include Adam Jones of TOOL winning Best Recording Package and WOLFMOTHER winning Best Hard Rock performance.

Screw the Grammys! What do you think was the song of year for '06. Let your voice be heard in the comments…

    The awards given to the Dixie Chicks were one thing….sending a message.

    As you know, these awards were not given by the people. This was not the People's Music Awards, rather less than 11,000 members of professionals in the music industry. One writer brought up the idea that the vote for the various catagories was so split, that the largest chunk of votes left were the politically active members who had the opportunity to "make a statement" with what amounts to a lackluster album and a really boring song.

    First of all, there's no way a song like that would take song of the year at the Grammys unless it had help, through collusion or other means, or jury nullification, just like the O.J. trial. And for them to win 5 awards if just not only improbable, but impossible! It looks like the Grammys jumped the shark last night, allowing politics to influence the outcome of not one but 5 awards and I personally could never look at them in any kind of positive light again, though that's been coming for a long time now.

    I've been a professional musician for over 35 years, a session player on albums and a touring sideman. I'm hearing nothing, and I repeat nothing, but disbelief at what happened last night. Some are asking for an investigation to see if there was indeed any wrong doing in the "winning" of these awards. And all along, Natalie and the world still actually think that they really won those awards.

    Sad. Hope they never realize what really happened. They were used!

    Dixie Chicks are very anti-bush and have gotten alot of shit because of that, and they play redneck country music straight from texas. So they're cool.

    Slayer's eyes of the insane has shit on Dixie Chicks.
