Well, I don't care. It's also so old and dull, it just... hurts to see it. You could've at least styled it with arrow brackets like in HTML. But generally, it's never a good idea to blatantly shout out "I'M SARCASTIC LOL WARCRAFT" so yeah. |

| I've checked the stuff of the Symphonic Metal but none of them has convinced me. I was about to not to vote there, but when I recently found the new Tjodalv's (Susperia, ex-Dimmu) project, Gromth, I found my answer XD Nice orchestral Extreme Metal, better than the overrated (under my point of view) new one of SepticFlesh. |

It was just to make sure the sarcasm was understood, as text can often be interpreted the wrong way. And I don't really care what's hot or not on the internet. I mostly end up writting as if I was having a conversation so I'm not gonna break my head to figure out what would look good and be a pleasure to see for everyone else. I'm just gonna make sure my thoughts are conveyed correctly. |

Edmund... don't feed the troll. Him knowing what's hot or not on the net is telling as it is  |

I used the nominations to catch up on some of the stuff I missed, and found some real winners! Neurotech and Mayan (WTF How did I not know of an Epica side project?)

Yeah, Mayan's release has gone quite unnoticed this year. And it had lots of promotion from the band.
When they came to play to my country, if the flyer hadn't said "With members of EPICA", almost nodoby would have attended the concert.
In fact everyone was expecting them to play "Cry For The Moon". After seeing Epica three times and the vocal deterioration of Simone, I was like "Kill me, please". |

| Just curious, why were the Foo Fighters not nominated for hard rock? I don't mind, I just wrote them in, but curious if it was because they were considered more alternative/90's influenced than heavier rock, becuase the staff didn't want to make them a profile considering they are nowhere near metal, or were they considered and just the staff didn't like the album as much as the other 10? |

They're not on MetalStorm...
Edit: And probably none of the Staff thought they were good enough to get added to the site just so they could be a Staff nomination... |

your write in vote will be kept. Foo Fighters ia hard rock/alternative rock. Them not being on the site does not mean it will get nukes. According to most of MS staff/elites it just wasn't good enough to make the 10 nominees that's all. |

Well I suppose this is good.
And JC, sporting Slayer shirts doesn't make them cool in my book. I hear that they won the "metal" category of the Grammy's, if you ask me Dave Grohl is a pompous schmuck for accepting it since Foo Fighters isn't metal... |

They won the best hard rock/metal performance. Meaning 1 song that is either hard rock or metal, and White Limo won. Definately a hard rock song. You should watch some interviews with Dave Grohl, seems to be one of the nicest and down-to-earth guys ever. Plus he really likes metal, and has a light-hearted metal side-project/super group Probot. Not really worth checking out, but just kind of fun. |

Ah ok well if it's hard rock/metal then fine I guess, I didn't watch them but there were lots of posts on facebook bitching about FF winning the "metal category". I'd still love to know just exactly who all the other nominees were that Foo Fighters were deemed the cream of the crop. I'm aware of Probot, didn't care for it much. |

You had Megadeth, Mastodon and others, I don't remember. I would've preffered to see Matodon win, but since it's more a poularity contest then anything else, I'm not that surprised. |

I don't think it's even a popularity contest as it is more of how much the record labels pay the Grammy organizers. |

And you can bet they all snuffed their noses at the likes of Mastodon and Megadeth. Probably for the best Mastodon or Megadeth didn't win, would've been embaressing for them I think because they'd go out on stage to play and all those teeny boppers who went would be scratching their heads and shooting dirty looks because they probably don't even know who Mastodon or Megadeth are. |

Dream Theater and Sum 41 were the other two to be nominated.
And, I'm gonna take another angle at this all, I think the Foo Fighters deserved to win. Not sure how many people heard their new album, it was fucking awesome if you ask me. I mean, White Limo was not my favorite hard rock/metal song, not by a long shot, but it was 10x better than anything off of Megadeth's new album, and I prefer it to Curl Of The Burl (FF and Mastodon don't have all that differant of a sound nowadays it seems).
Anyways, all off topic.
Back on topic, I was about to cast my thrash vote for Skeletonwitch, when I decided I'd give Trials (the only album on there I hadn't heard) a shot. Well holy fuck, I may be reconsidering that vote.
Edit: Oh, and Dave Grohl had this to say about winning the award..."I feel so bad for the Dream Theater guy, because they actually had a metal performance, we didn't..." |

Hmm...not sure how to feel about that. On the one hand I could say "well that's humbling and good on him for admitting that", however on the other hand I could say "he's still a schmuck cuz he still accepted it" but then I don't know if they allow artists to just refuse to accept a nomination. Also I can't say whether I feel that Dream Theater is any more metal or deserving just cuz I never really got into DT but I have seen lots of bitching about their latest album so idk.  |

Touching on what I was asking about earlier in the thread (I've put in most of my votes, just want to clarify). Write in votes should go in the catagory/style that the band is listed in in their profile? Hopefully I'll emember for next year.
Still need to decide on doom and power (Ixion vs Omit and Tarot vs Symphonia). |

I don't think Tarot's latest counts, since it was a re-recording of SOI anyway, as changed as the songs may be... also, you like Symphonia over Strato's latest, which makes you the first person I've met who sides with Tolkki |

You guys[psko!) have taken enough rounds on Dave Grohl?!! eh?! anyways, standing on a "ever-plastic" stupid Grammy's podium...he was really proud of it that his new album was made in a garage. After all, their producer is a old Nirvana man...and grunge stuff hasn't faded yet...he should thank Kurt Cobain for this. But now, they are Grammy winner...they can whine about anyone. |

Who cares if your favourite album doesn't win. As llong as it gets exposure.
I really don't get why people get so hung up over the fact that the albums they voted for didn't win/ |
