Holy s–t, the last time I checked Muse is NOT a metal band-LOL! Unless the band has changed their sound, which I wouldn’t know, the Grammy’s have learned nothing from the Jethro Tull debacle.
Yes the Grammys are a joke. And they don’t even have the respect to air the heavy metal and rock awards during the prime time airing of the show. I’m thrilled that Ozzy won a couple of awards if it makes him happy. But for me I’ve always been a fan and always will be and couldn’t care less about the Grammys.
Yay, Ozzman…Muse…..who are they? Lol
No offense to Ozzy, but IMO, to award him Grammys for his latest album/song is nothing more than giving him a “participation award”.
Megadeth got robbed of the “Best Metal Performance” category.
Thats cool , it was a very good album and the timing couldn`t be more perfect for a bit of good news for Ozzy.
Personally I didn’t like anything on patient number 9 … look I love OZZY and sabbath his first few solo albums and a few more singles here and there. There was some backroom negotiations going on with giving OZZY an award for this album….
Robert,
The last Ozzy album I bought was No More Tears.
