Halestorm‘s win last night of the ‘Best Hard Rock/Metal Performance’ Grammy Award isn’t without its detractors. Both Shadows Fall drummer Jason Bittner and Testament guitarist Alex Skolnick have since hit their Twitter accounts with their thoughts on the matter:
Alex Skolnick tweeted:
“At least they could’ve given it to our friends Anthrax or any of those other deserving bands w yrs of experience. Halestorm? Debuted in ’09!”
Jason Bittner tweeted:
“And the metal Grammy goes to…… R u fucking kidding me? This is worse than 1989 and the Metallica debacle!”
Bittner also posted the following on his Facebook:
“Well I know I’m gonna get a lot of shit for this but I just don’t care anymore…. How the FUCK does Maiden, Megadeth, LOG, and my “other family” ANTHRAX lose the Grammys to ________ (not gonna say the name)!!!! Shit is rotten in the music business and this proves it!!! And I thought the Jethro Tull thing in 1989 was bad enough but this beats it hands down!!!”
