Dream Theater nominated again for a Grammy!

[AngelBack]

Does Cyndi Lauper need Hooked on Phonics or is she drunk or something?

I think she over medicated today.

[AngelBack]

I think that group just vocalized an extended, unison Mangini!

[Shadow2222]

Wow, these presenters are pretty awful 

[Anguyen92]

Nice to see Sound City's Real to Reel won one of these.  Plus Butch Vig is getting the award.

[AngelBack]

And Rick Astley for the lifetime achievement award...

[Anguyen92]

The mood in the pre-show is so depressing for some reason.  I can't put my finger why though.

[Prog Snob]

Steve Martin!!!

[Anguyen92]

Is it sad that I'm rooting for the winners based on how funny the names of the acts or albums are?

[RoeDent]

What even is a Zydeco Experience?!

[OsMosis2259]

so uhhh the best metal performance? 

I wonder when it's going to be announced.

[Anguyen92]

There was a link on the Grammys site that popped up that had a list of the categories that are going to be announced for this thing.  The Best Metal Performance is around the last five, so this is going to be a wee bit long of a wait.

Who the hell is this girl with ridiculous red hair?

[Anguyen92]

Get on with it, lady.  It's never a good sign when a host says, "I f'ed up.  I messed up.  I'm never getting this job again," etc.

[AngelBack]

All these stodgy old white guys just love this rap dude....

[Shadow Ninja 2.0]

I think they've suckered you guys into watching the Grammy's.

[Prog Snob]

Who the hell is this girl with ridiculous red hair?

Cyndi Lauper

[Laughingplace56]

If anyone needed anymore proof that the GRAMMY's are total shit, Thrift Shop just won 2 awards, and he won for best rap album.

[Anguyen92]

I think they've suckered you guys into watching the Grammy's.

Yes, they did. 

On a side note, I thought Holy Grail would win best rap song (I heard that was a popular track or something) and I shutter to hear the reaction if Yeezus won.  I don't want to hear the news of his reaction on my Texas rock radio show since they talk about Kayne any chance they can get (though they do bury him a lot).

[Lucidity]

I'm so happy that Snarky Puppy won!    My favorite band behind DT!

[Jaffa]

This is kind of painful to watch.

[Laughingplace56]

as I've sort of said a few times tonight, I find a Grammy to be a worthless award that has lost any integrity it once had as it's become completely commercialized and given to popular people, and awards are not based on the art of music but sales. That being said, the only reason I care if DT wins it is because I really want them to get some public recognition, and a Grammy is big in the public eye and in the music world so it'd be good publicity for them.

Also, Cyndi Lauper is a horrible host. She's sloppy and just annoying.

[Anguyen92]

A bunch of old looking guys playing some kind of a bluesy song.  That's fine by me.  I rather have something like that than most performances on this thing with the exception of the idea of a Nine Inch Nails/Queens of the Stone Age/Dave Grohl/Lindsey Buckingham performance.

[Aythesryche]

Sucks Armin van Buuren didn't win.

[Jaffa]

I love how half of the winners aren't even there.   

[Anguyen92]

I love how half of the winners aren't even there.   

That's because they are going to be there when the bigger awards on TV comes up.  They feel too egotistical to show up on a pre-show like this, honestly.

[RoeDent]

Clearly they're paying tribute to DT by using their record label's definition of the word "soon" when it comes to announcing Best Metal.

[Anguyen92]

I'm picking Led Zeppelin for best rock performance.

Edit: F************************.  I hate that radioactive song.

[OsMosis2259]

It should be very soon.
Best Rock Performance was just announced

[Anguyen92]

All right, here we go.  Come on DT.

[Jaffa]

Welp.

[OsMosis2259]

The winner is...............



































BLACK SABBATH

Okay, there it is. Congrats Black Sabbath.

[Prog Snob]

What a surprise

[Anguyen92]

All right, f*** this thing.  I knew DT wouldn't win anyway, but I would like to dream of that.  Nothing wrong with that.

This is how I feel atm.
