BEST VOCALIST

YOU GUYS FUCKING SHITTING ME!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!?
Don’t be a noob.
Nevermind, read that wrong.
No, you had it right. Anyone that expects anything more from these awards is acting like a noob.
BEST VOCALIST
Maria Brink (In This Moment)
It’s because…. bewbs
and they are epic!
LOL My Thoughts EXACTLY!
Who’s the idiot who threw Born Villain onto the Album Of The Year pile?
Deftones are nominated in every individual category. Nice. If Koi Yo doesnt win album OTY its a total farce. Usually is anyways.
I didn’t realise people actually like five finger death punch?
they have 3 gold albums in todays music industry
I’m surprised you aren’t a fan by the way you spelled realize.
Moron, high school dropouts need background music at their parties too. And from the numbers, there must be a lot of parties.
FYI, Brits often spell words with an “s” in place of where we’d put a “z.”
I’m gonna piiiiiick
Guitarist – Carpenter (Deftones)
Drummer – Hale (Gojira)
Bass – Lee (Rush)
Vocalist – Taylor
New Talent – Miss May I (Device? They released any material?!)
Metal Athelete – Who gives a fuck?
Best Live – Lamb of God
Comeback – The D
SOTY – From what shit selection? I Ejaculate Fire
Most Dedicated Fans – Probably Slipknot. Them “Maggots” mean serious busines.
AOTY – Koi No Yokan obliterates everything there (except for Gojira, but I think Deftone had the edge).
Don’t hit me.
Eh, it isn’t all that bad considering. They picked mostly the better mainstream acts. Lzzy Hale is a killer vocalist and deserves to be beside Corey Taylor and Chino Moreno.
In fact, I’d say the only areas where I wouldn’t want to vote for any of the nominees are ‘most dedicated fanbase’ and ‘best new act’.
The real problem is that the wrong acts are going to beat out the best ones.
Why Matt Halpern (Periphery) isn’t among the nominees for best drummer… Beats me.
Same as why the “best bassist” category is named after Paul Gray. Yeah, it’s terrible that he died, but that doesn’t make him a better bass player, at all – it’s like naming the “best drummer” category after Meg White, for example… :S
Meg White isn’t dead retard. All joking aside, theres nothing all that distasteful about naming an award in memoriam. When Les Claypool kicks they’ll rededicate it.
I have trouble respecting an award ceremony that celebrates “the best” of anything that would have FFDP as a performer, and a nominee.
About 5% good bands… The rest are terrible. These awards mean nothing at all, when you consider the fact that you’re literally comparing piles of shit. The few good bands should be offended by their fellow nominees.
I went Deftones, Anthrax, Rammstein where applicable.
