Velvet Revolver Grammy Nominations

[GNFNRS]

I just briefly scanned the Grammy nominations and from what I could tell the boys were nominated for 2 Grammys.  I think they were best Rock Album and best rock song.

Great!   

But it'd be very strange if Slash & Co. would get a Grammy for their VR work, while they didn't get for GN'R...

I hope they win all three but I think their best chance is Best Hard Rock Performance and Best Hard Rock Album.  It will be hard to beat u2 in any category.

[GypsySoul]

I'm surprised they didn't get a nomination in the "best new artist" category ?

[echeguns]

No rockers in the new category ...

Best New Artist
(For a new artist who releases, during the Eligibility Year, the first recording which establishes the public identity of that artist.)

Los Lonely Boys


Maroon5


Joss Stone


Kanye West


Gretchen Wilson

[badgirl]

nice. 

[Booker Floyd]

While I generally hate the Grammys, I have to admit Im very pleased to see the band get that recognition...Hopefully they pick at least one up ("Slither" should be a lock, but its the Grammys, so... )

[PhillyRiot]

Good luck VR!!!  I think it will be tough to beat U2 and Greenday since the brand of rock VR plays isn't what record execs want to push.

[noonespecial]

...yeah but the lawyers probably love 'em 

God that's the only reason to watch 

If you win, Please Scott, no soap box speeches, mmmkay? You're just a rock singer...don't take yourself so seriously...let Mr. Slash say something....

[Top-Hatted One]

Green day better not win based on that song...the album is amazing but that song is the worst song on there

[Pryor Murphy]

I'm curious. Where did you get this information about grammy nominees?

Is it on the Internet somewhere? I would love to know better

[echeguns]

Here you go.

Grammy Nominations were just announced.

Slither - Nominated for Best Hard Rock Performance

Fall To Pieces - Nominated for Best Rock Song

Contraband - Nominated for Best Rock Album

i'll  take rock album, n slither hard rock... The first choice though would be great (contraband)

Thankfully, American idiot is a damn fine masterpiece. I don't think VR can win in any of these categories. FTP is hardly their best work, btw.

you're probably right..

I just think vr did the one thing no one else has having a debut album being number one first week, plus they did have two number one single on mainstream, modern rock,, I think one finished second on one of those rock categorys..

The second part, I doubt he cares or he might be happy for them, who knows..

[pilferk]

Don't get me wrong....VR's album is very, very good.  But if American Idiot  doesn't win the Best Album category, I'll be shocked.  It's a classic.  U2's Atomic Bomb is also excellent, and, without Greenday's album, I think it might be a tight race between U2 and VR....but with American Idiot.....I think Greenday takes this category in a cake walk.
