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.
Fully Concur. American Idiot is a far better album than Contraband. I'll be happy if Green Day won best album ( they will) and VR won best Act performance.

Somewhere in Malibu, a volcano is erupting in an isolated seaside mansion.
I sure hope so, but let me tell you what my biggest fear is. If VR wins a grammy Axl will go back to the studio for another 5 years to make sure he wins a grammy when CD is released.

Ignatius, I doubt that would ever happen, they may not be business partners but I doubt there is such hate, either way whenever the cd is coming out it will regardless of whatever contraband does..

I know Mike, I was just making a joke. If VR won a grammy, being the perfectionist he is, we don't need to give Axl another reason to delay the album even more to guarantee he will get another grammy as well.

Wow, that's great. But I don;t think they will win. They are just not as hip as Green Day or U2. Mainstream is more into U2 and Green Day then VR.... but I think they should win for Slither, it's the best rock song in years...

One thing is for sure, the Grammy's are a bit unpredictable. A band like VR could easily sweep these awards if the momentum is right. I mean, how many times has actually the best album won the 'Best album' awards? VR has as good album/songs as anyone there.? I like Green day, however AI is by no means a masterpiece.

I just want to say congratulations to Velvet Revolver, they deserve it, they have given us a lot of great music over the years with GnR, STP and VR, and Slash in particular have also played on a lot of succesfull albums as a guest star as well, and for them to finally getting some reconigtion by the Grammys is wonderfull, and it should make us all proud, both old and new GnR line up fans, because like it or not, VR would have had a lot more difficult time making it big if it weren't for 4/5 of the members already being known to the music world.? ?

I agree on everything you say, I also wanted to add if vr was a younger group of guys they might get recognized more for just being a band, instead almost every reviewer/interviewer brings in everything they've ever done and have to compare it to their old music.
I understand the past is part of your present life, it's just the label supergoup turns some people off and they doin't give the music a fair chance.. ALso being aroundf 40 as the average age is harder to sell for a new band in a world filled with young people in music..
They did get the initial kick to help them in the start, but now their music will have to do the talking..

VR is better than Green Day... But U2? Tough competition

It's just a matter of taste, some like Green Day, some like U2, and some like VR...

They're all great bands who write and play their own music and have awesome fans. At least it's all Rock N Roll. We could be arguing about Ashley Simpson and Avril Lavigne so called rock albums!

It's like the world has forgotten Steven ever existed. I see Matt referred to as that all of the time.

Does that mean new or requested..
As for the 3/5's thing we know who the original gnr is, not everyone cars enough ,they just see matt as ex gnr drummer and figure he's an original member.. Poor stever, he's been gone almost 15 years

i'm really happy for the guys, but i don't think they'll win anything. green day is sure to win all the best prizes.
but if you ask me, i think it isn't fair that slash didn't get the grammy for the godfather instrumental.
and it's a shame that gn'r didn't get any grammys either.
but, wish'em luck...

Perhaps but theres also a chance they might not get as much reconition as they are now because of their pasts...
