HHH better win. Anyone who uses Motorhead to sing an entrance theme for YEARS is the fucking man.

Gene Hoglan better win best drummer.

Odds that anyone from Refused shows up?

I went last year, it was a blast.

I doubt it since they aren't even a band anymore.

No clue.

Just figured that because their album & tour were in 2012 that they'd be eligible for a 2013 award.

If a band wins comeback of the year twice in a row it should be called the Don't Call It A Comeback Award.
