Hard rock band Avenged Sevenfold are up for a “Best Rock Song” Grammy on Sunday night for “The Stage” off of their 2016 album of the same name. But while it’s their first ever Grammy nomination, they’ll be sitting out the ceremony, says frontman M. Shadows, mainly because their category won’t be televised.
Texting to radio personality Eddie Trunk, singer M. Shadows says the trip to New York City for the Grammy Awards would be a “waste of time and money” for the band, which is currently on tour with Breaking Benjamin and Bullet For My Valentine.
Per metal site Blabbermouth, Shadows doesn’t consider their sitting out the ceremony on Jan. 28 to be a “protest,” but rather, a financial decision (travel expenses would have cost over $150,000 said Shadows) in addition to a statement on the marginalization of rock music, which he noted on Twitter is relegated to the non-televised portion of the Grammys.
Said Shadows, according to Trunk: “‘Rock Song’ of the year can’t get two minutes? … And they put us in some side venue no one gives a f— about? F— that waste of time and money.”
Also nominated for Best Rock Song are Metallica, Foo Fighters, K. Flay and Nothing More.

Think ghetto........
This makes me think of another Freeper’s post on another thread concerning the Grammy’s in which they said suppose if they gave a Grammy Awards show and nobody came?
My teenage son wanted to see Ozzy and I told him if he made honorable I would take him. The little bastard got an a on his math final the day before the semester was over which brought his math grade up to an a minus and then put him over the top for honoral by 0.02 and is grade point avg..
I took him to see Ozzy and Avenged Sevenfold was opening for them.
I was very impressed by Avenged Sevenfold.
Have you watched the singing contest called The Four? I get the feeling it is not targeted at my gene pool
so sad...
Rock has been replaced by pure crap. It died at the hands of PC. Whitey’s music.
Rock is dead they say.....Long Live Rock!
I remember the 70’s when The American Music Awards were started as a protest to the Grammys neglecting rock music.
Take a knee in protest.

And there’s already a separate Latin Grammys, so then why are Latin performers still on the regular Grammys?
Why isn’t there a Black Grammys?

Love them, they are awesome!
Yes, that’s why they started the American Music Awards.
...Think ghetto...
Ghetto has overwhelmed rock in popularity.
I do know that the Hip Hop/Rap garbage they are selling is complete garbage. Many “artists” today cannot play an instrument, write music, or even sing (they use Autotune).
Jimmi Hendrix was an artist. Jay Z is a talentless Fraud.
"Whut up?"
That was the music industry’s goal. Scientific studies have shown that if you are bombarded by sounds and are forced to listen to something over and over again, people eventually normalize it.
