Slipnot (knot? I can't be arsed). Oddly, DT was nominated in the Comeback catagory too. I suppose losing a member and going on ise considered a "comeback" now that people are too young to remember Lynyrd Skynyrd, Ozzy/Rhodes, Metallica/Burton, and some of the more tragic stories that led to true Comebacks. Hell, even Evanescene was more of a win for that because of their guitarist's stroke a few years ago. If it's even the same guy
This was clearly a circle-jerk that the older guys showed up for just because it was "metal" - everyone standing around patting each other on the back, Dee Snider being annoying (as usual). It was also a thinly veiled showcase for
Alice Cooper Band The Cure Motley Crue Marilyn Manson Black Veil Brides since they took up nearly half the air time with their various nonsense. Same case with
Tedium Trivium. I'm not sure how guys like Cooper, Mustaine, and Elfson and sit through that shit and have any sense of pride whatsoever in that which they have spawned. Neil Peart looked like a Nun in a whorehouse accepting the lifetime achievement award. About the only thing they got right. Even Miles Kennedy (Alter Bridge/Slash) sounded off, like he couldn't hear himself. I realize it's an award show hosted by a magazine, but the prompters and graphics were all off, the cameras couldn't find the speaker half the time, and the only place you got to see most of the advertised, worth seeing, people was on the carpet outside. This goes on my ignore list along with the Grammys and the RRHOF.
