Metallica have received a Grammy nomination for Best Rock Instrumental with 'Ecstasy of gold'.

You can see the other nominees here:

I'm happy for them, I hope they win. I'm reminded of the Simpsons episode where Homer throws a Grammy out the window and it hit's someone in the head who says "Oh! An award, oh wait, it's just a Grammy." :biggrin

I think it's stupid that Megadeth is not nominated.
I also find it weird that there are nominations of songs that are on albums from more than a year old. :blink: Why weren't they included in the previous Grammy round?

The show will honor musical achievement of the 2007 recording year which are albums and singles released between October 1, 2006 through September 30, 2007.


Also, what do you think Megadeth should be nominated for?

Best metal performance?

They may not have been the best...but if you see what kind of crap wins a Grammy, then I think Megadeth deserves one this time. Megadeth have been nominated multiple times and never actually won one. Dave should be paid homage for his hard work over the years.

It's also not fair that Metallica wins everytime. Of course, I feel they deserved most of them, but some nominations for Metallica have been pretty ridiculous. Megadeth even lost to Metallica with Stone Cold Crazy....a cover for christ sake!
Yes, I like that cover song...but it is kinda twisted.

What song tho? I think there's a great number of bands that should be in that category ahead of Megadeth, they haven't really done anything special in that time frame (also ahead of Slayer and As I Lay Dying that are nominated).. I kinda agree with the cover thing, which is why I'd prefer that Satch won the award that Metallica have been nominated for

It doesn't really have to be a single song, right?
If I remember correctly, Metallica won with the Black Album. The whole album won, not just a song.

It depends on when the Academy that picks nominations for these things start voting...So they most likely missed the deadline for last years awards, but were still recognized for this year's ceremony.
And I think it's changed from album to single...though I'm not too sure about that one...

For best metal performance? It's just one song, here's this years for instance:

Best Metal Performance

As I Lay Dying -- Nothing Left

King Diamond -- Never Ending Hill

Machine Head -- Aesthetics Of Hate

Shadows Fall -- Redemption

Slayer -- Final Six

Like I said in my earlier post, it's from 01/Oct/06 - 30/Sept/2007

Look here for the stats on who Megadeth lost to.
The site is dated but this will give you a view on it. You see it also comes to whole albums.
