Arcade Fire Turn Down Grammys

Or weren't invited this year.

It is the same thing according to the band.


The oddly looking band Arcade Fire weren't invited this year's Grammy awards ceremonies, and they say they could care less and are in fact "relieved" about it. I'm no musician (trust me I tried by purchasing a guitar back in 8th grade, turns out you have to learn and practice and all this crap), but I think I would probably want to go to the Grammys for the fact that with a Grammy in hand, you are probably worth more [business wise, not really worth a damn (read: Kanye West)]. But then they do list a very valid reason that I can understand:

• No free food or drinks
• $75 hotdogs

Yes, that did say $75 hotdogs!! I'm with the Fire now, fuck the Grammys! Let's go buy a shitload of hotdogs instead!

Metallica coming to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame

I don't listen to Metal mostly, but I do love me some 'tallica every now and then. But I always thought of them as pop-metal because hell, I heard about them in Brownsville, Texas. I doubt any real metal makes it there.
Hit the jump for more.

Death Magnetic, the band's latest, is up for four Grammys(Best Rock Album, Best Recording Package, Best Rock Instrumental Performance, Best Metal Performance). I haven't listened to Death Magnetic in a while, so my memory is a bit fuzzy, but what I do remember upon first listen was this:

Thank God! Not another St. Anger!

Because, let's face it, St.Anger was an okay-at-best album, but it wasn't Metallica. But even now you hear Hetfield talking about his family, and trying to control his anger, blah blah blah. These are some very very un-metal things to be doing. At that point, I think throwing in the towel is the best option. But first, come play in Austin dammit!

Good Music (read: Radiohead) at the Grammys

It will be the band's first ever time performing at the show held on February 8th in the city of angels.

This Grammys (or is it Grammies??), will also mark another momentous occasion: I will watch a Grammy show! Well, that's not entirely true, I could just as easily enjoy a Youtube video of the concert later and not have to watch the rest of the shit. I'll debate over it.

Also regarding this year's Grammy Awards, Lil' Wayne is LEADING the nominations. He's not just IN there, he is LEADING it. How? Goddammit if I know.
