      Being a long time Tull fan I was glad to see them get a mention
    BUT.... Heavy Metal!! No Way! I thought Crest Of A Knave was a fine
    album for a come back for this band. JT however, i feel is still
    a non commercial band and for all its worth they probably didn't
    even know they were being nominated and even if they did they would
    have never showed to recieve it. The Grammy should have gone to
    someone else.
      Metallica.... I loved it! They gave all those stuffed shirts every
    thing they think HM is about. A bunch of long haired guys playing
    at extreme decibel levels and flailing frantically around stage
    while they play. I just wanted to see the look on Stevie Wonder's
    face in the front row when Metallica blew his face off!
      In any event I'm glad to see a band like Metallica get the exposure
    like this. A step in the right direction. I thought they sounded
    great and represented the HM crowd perfect.
