It doesn't matter what anyone thinks of any of the songs, Iron Maiden's winning Hard Rock/Metal.

As much as I'd like LOG or Anthrax to win we all know Megadave will.

I love how Live tracks can be nominated, because that's totally legit.




Like Priest winning for Dissident Aggressor two years ago.

You forgot to add No Reflection by Marilyn Manson for the Best Hard Rock/Metal Song category. Also, since they're mostly rock anyways, Album of the Year nominees are:

The Black Keys - El Camino
fun. - Some Nights
Mumford and Sons - Babel
Frank Ocean - Channel Orange
Jack White - Blunderbuss

Mumford & Snore and Coldplay being nominated for rock categories is the funniest thing I've heard all day.

My take...

How the fuck can a live song be nominated? Halestorm is great musically and vocally, but the lyrics are putrid. Those Anthrax and Megadeth albums came out last year. The only band with a leg to stand on is Lamb Of God, and odds are, Randy Blythe won't be accepting the award if they win.

*now awaiting posts on how the Grammys are not relevant anymore.*

It can get nominated because En Vivo! was released this year. I love Maiden, but I don't agree with it either. That's the rules though. With the other two, they were released as singles in 2012, therefore they are eligible. Again, I think it's a totally stupid rule, but that's how it is.
