Well, this is the one time that MTV actually showcases music.

But it seems they've manged to split one genre of music into three separate categories (Rap/R&B/Hip-Hop).

Now i havent seen about 90% of those videos, but im still predicting a big night for Panic at the disco, that is actually a pretty good video from what i can actually remember about it. These are probably nowhere near right, but i could care less.

Great to see RHCP getting lots of nominations, they deserve it.

[Ephedrine]

They never recognize metal at tese things, Headbangers Ball is one of the highest rated programs on MTV2 but their are no metal songs in the VMA's the closest thing to metal is the AFI song becuz of the near-screamo part.

What metal deserves to be nominated? Most new metal sounds similar in the aspect that it sucks. Metal doesn't have enough diversity at this point to deserve a nomination, even if from craptacular MTV.

[bugagasikaga]

What!??? Now you may respect your kind of music, but think of other bands. There are a lot of good metal/screamo type bands that are very good, they either have good drummer, Gitar players, bass players, Piano or anything. Just because it's a different kind of music no need to diss it. Come on now.

[Snuddyentaine]

Metal....meh.

Especially new metal, aka: Slit Your Wrists and Kill Yourself.

Now, as for old metal, such as 70s/80s, I don't mind.

Judas Priest, GUns N' Roses, Black Sabbath, etc. I love, but the new metal/scream music just sucks...almost as bad as EMO.


As for these nominations, who cares. Nobody will remeber who won what in 2, maybe 3 years. This type of music nowadays never has a lasting effect that music decades ago did. It's all based on a series of fads. And people move wherever the rest of the crowd is in music.

I mean, does anybody listen to nSync or Britney Spears? Didn't think so.

...and that was only a few years ago.

I never said they didn't have awesome musicians, it just all feels forced. There is no soul in new metal's solos, or in the way they strum on the bass. Its all about how fast you can play, while some douchbag says nonsensical stuff on the mic. Here, watch this video, it will help:

[Binuilienzync]

YOu could say stuff about anything, it's about what your into. How hard is it to write rhymes and put a computerized beat and spit it out. Really it takes, no raw talent. You could say the same thing about anything thing. It's a personal choice, some new metal bands can play, you can't just say that they can't because you hear a couple that can. So please shut the fuck up.
