...which proves once more that Grammy is an embarassment to metal. I mean it was great to see Slayer in the list but they don't deserve it this time around.
Plus what fucking purpuse in the purplefect hell does it serve when they do not even announce the prizes on stage ?? I'd rather not have any metal category at all.. bastards show it at the BOTTOM of the screen.
And what do the fucking celebrities and the yuppie suck ass crowd know bout metal ?? They wouldn't recognize Vinny if they caught him with their sister. :D
Give 'em Nelly, Aguilera and JLo.. leave the gods to us.
FUCK YEAH !
