DRAGONFORCE NOMINATED FOR GRAMMY AWARD!

DRAGONFORCE are among the nominees for the 51th annual Grammy Awards, which will be held on Sunday, February 8, 2009 at Staples Center in Los Angeles. DragonForce's "Hero of Our Time" has been nominated for a Grammy in Best Metal Performance!

Check out the list of nominations here: http://www.grammy.com/grammy_awards/51st_show/list.aspx

For the first time, nominations were announced on prime-time television as part of "The Grammy Nominations Concert Live!! - Countdown To Music's Biggest Night". The one-hour special — broadcast live on CBS from Nokia Theatre L.A Live — featured past Grammy winners and nominees reading nominations in several categories, as well as performing songs from the Grammy Hall Of Fame in celebration of the grand opening of the Grammy Museum.

Grammy ballots for the final round of voting will be mailed on December 17 to the voting members of The Recording Academy. They are due back to the accounting firm Deloitte by January 14, 2009, when they will be tabulated and the results kept secret until the telecast.

The 51st annual Grammy Awards will be broadcast live in high-definition TV and 5.1 surround sound on CBS from 8 to 11:30 p.m. (ET/PT).

Too bad.

they are up against metallica, slipknot and judas priest. still, i think they stand a fair chance.

I think Judas Priest should win, but Metallica has the best chance. Slipknot better not win...

It's all between Judas Priest and Metallica.

Yea... DragonForce wont win. Make sure you guys post who wins =)

I want Dragonforce to win, but it most likely won't happen. If not, then I want Ministry to win.

WHEN DO WE FIND OUT WHO WINS :O:O:O:O....... Dragonfroce must win

February 8

Metallica has already won so many grammys. The probably won't win again. A Dragonforce grammy will show all the haters whos boss. :fakeguitar:

They have very little chance. Metallica is overrated so they will probably win.

Well, one month and two days left to find out who wins.

im with dragonforce too but i think Judas Priest are going to win the prize. as you have said Metallica have already won many awards. i wouldnt mind if Slipknot won either but if the prize goes to Dragoforce all those haters would shout their mouth! i would really like to see it

Slipknot - Psychosocial is good, but not grammy worthy,

Ministry - Under My Thumb was a remake of the Rolling Stones original cover.

Metallica - My Apocolypse was good, but not Metallica's best song.

Don't know anything much about Judas Preist - Nostradamus, except that he's also nominated for best rock performance.

I'm really sure that Dragonforce can win this!

Looking at some other Grammy nominees I think it would be a shame for DF if they won.

I'm going to up the ante here and say DragonForce SHOULD win, and heres why. Slipknot nor Metallica deserve to when it because even tho they are respected (by some) bands, I dont think either has really played better than they have played before. Slipknot and Metallica have met high critical success in the past, but not as much with these last offerings. Judas Priest(Bullet Train) was nominated in 1999 but was beat out by Metallica(Better Than You). Thou JP's new record went higher longer on Billboard that has not saved them in the past. Ministry's song is a cover, a cover has to be really really good to win. I dont think its going to. Also Judas Priest is nominated twice, DragonForce isn't. Here it is boys: $5 says DragonForce wins it. (I realize thats like $1.47 euro but whatever. <--that should be called the US economy smiley)

That last line made me laugh

Judas Priest is also nominated for Best Hard Rock performance. Their main threats are Disturbed and Motley Crue there.

That's what I'm talking about. Rock=Metal.
Grammy sucks.
They even give away Grammies for rappers...srsly u guys.

The Grammys are lame, who votes on that shit. It's just a mainstream award and people make it more important than it is. Do you think DragonForce gives a shit? I doubt it.

Exactly. Well said Metal Dragon.

If Dragonforce ever win the award, it will just give another reason to haters to tell you how commercial and popular Dragonforce is.

Yes that was my point a few posts later. I'd rather they didn't win.

I'd rather they did.

It'll show the haters, and whenever they bad mouth Dragonforce again, we ask them the simple question:

'Who got a grammy for the best metal performance? Was it Dragonforce?'
