For those in the know, the legendary metal outfit Slayer have been nominated for a Grammy this year. The song is called "Disciple" off of their latest album, "God Hates Us All." I'm just wondering, who actually thinks Slayer will win? Who thanks Slayer CAN win (with such an "evil" album title like that)?

Here's the other nominees, taken from www.grammy.com:

Tracks only.

1. The Wizard

5. Schism

I personally think one of these other crap fad bands will win. Also, I'm actually hoping that Slayer WON'T win, but that's just me.

If you haven't heard the cd, it's great. Sure, it's not like Seasons/Reign in Blood, but it's still Slayer all the way if you ask me. I listened to the new cd for 2 weeks straight after it came out.

BTW, no, I'm not a Satanist, I'm not an atheist. I'm just wondering if it's actually possible for the corporate a$$holes of the music industry to allow a band to win such a high award for an album that's pure hatred towards religion in every way?

Can you really call Ozzy Osbourne a fad band?
Crap, maybe, but he's been crappy with Black Sabbath since the seventies. If he were really a fad, he'd have been long forgotten by now.

Sorry, I was gonna go back in and add "except ozzy" but I got excited and forgot.

Ozzy is cool, it would be great if he won.

Yeah!

Here's more info on that.

As for the topic...except for Apple's award...couldn't give a damn who else wins. They all suck...well, maybe Tool...

The Grammies are an effin' joke.

I wish! I doubt it will be on TV. But, I haven't seen anything saying whether it will or won't be televised.

It would be nice if they demoed the actual use of a Mac in a musical way in one of the performances or something...

This really makes me laugh. It sure tells me that I'm getting older. I remember in the mid 80's when bands like Slayer, Celtic Frost, Mercyful Fate, Venom and others were still considerred "Black Metal/Death Metal", and you had to be extremely "evil/satanic" to listen to "those" bands (or at least that's the label people put on it).

Even bands like Metallica, Megadeth and Anthrax were still considerred "underground metal". More mainstream but still "hard" stuff was Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Ozzy, Dio, AC/DC, etc., etc. Of course classic stuff like Zeppelin, Sabbath, Tull, RUSH, Yes, etc., etc was pretty "universally accepted".

Back then, you'd have to have been smoking crack laced angel dust to even nominate Ozzy Osbourne for a "Grammy". Nowadays (decades later depending on the artist/band) it's "acceptable", I just think it's funny as hell. I'm just waiting for the day I venture into some big department store in some Mall and hear the elevator muzak version of "Angel of Death" by Slayer, or something.

All I can say is hopefully the fame doesn't go to thier heads. I don't think all bands would sell-out, but some do &lt;cough-METALLICA-cough&gt;.
