Using hard rock kinda loosely arent we lol
Metallica will probably win because they like always do

 

I will jump off my roof into a pool of bees if Nickelback wins.

 

Hard rock? Really?

I don't think they should win, just because of how unfitting the category is. The other nominated bands deserve it more, being hard rock (more than Linkin Park anyway; excluding Nickelback obviously). If Nickelback win, I follow Andrea.

 

WID is such a random choice. Why not ND?

 

I want Nickleback to win. Just for shits and giggles.

 

yeah...aint like the band will care...i like that they dont care about awards...for them its about making us fans happy and enjoying the music..ill vote and root for them all i can but like i said, im sure they wont really care lol.

 

lol does anyone still take the grammys seriously anymore?

 

I actually think they've got a chance. It's always hard to compete against Metallica, but What I've done was No 1 for 15 weeks or so on the rock charts and Unforgiven III was hardly appreciated by the broader audience. So, go LP

 

Added a video of Mike, Joe and Rob announcing the nominees for Best Pop Performance to the main news post.

 

Anyone one else find it odd that they nominated a live track when "New Divide" was released in the same time frame?

 

yeah..i mean im not hating on "What I've Done" at all..i love the song to death but its from 2 years ago! "New Divide" wouldve been a better nominee..im like addicted to that song lol But go Linkin Park! =)

 

New Divide would have been good
if any live song had been picked
it should have been Given Up
but whatever. as I said before Metallica will probably win
Simply because it's Metallica

 

Not as odd as Metallica being nominated for a song that was never released as a single. Sure, it's probably the best track on Death Magnetic, but it only exists as an album cut. No radio play, no live cut, nothing.

That said, the winner will either be Metallica (because of who they are and the awesomeness of the track) or Linkin Park. Whatever version it is, "What I've Done" was one of the more popular and well received rock songs during this nomination period.

 

None of these bands are even relevant anymore.

 

Metallica doesn't win every time they're nominated. They have won exactly half of the time they have been nominated. That being said, they did manage to win a grammy for St. Anger, so quality isn't exactly necessary for a win. I'm personally hoping Alice in Chains wins for Check My Brain, because its the best song on this list and its good to see they're still capable of putting out quality music.

 

Anything that includes Nickelback should be taken with a grain of salt.
