AWESOME news Becks!! They may have a chance this time around, at least I HOPE so! They also released this song as a download on RockBand 2, which gives them a lot more exposure with the younger crowd. I for one would love to see Priest FINALLY win a grammy and start to receive the recognition that they so truly deserve! Not to mention, this song goes way back to their roots and if they win it will hopefully put Priest in the mindset to give us a RIP OUR FACES OFF MEEEETAAAAAAL MASTERPIECE next time around!!

True, Freeze. The metal category is good this year, no Metallica for one LOL! (although they've been nominated in the hard rock category, for a song released on an album that was nominated last year? How the heck does that work?! lol) I suppose I just cringe when I see the likes of Lady GaGa getting nominated for song or artist of the year - what's happened to music that means something! But I am sure the Priest boys would be well chuffed to win, and are happy they got nominared. The ToE Live version of Dissident Aggressor kicks ass too, I think it should win  I'm not biast hehe.

There is a lot to be said for an act that can put "Grammy Award Winning" in front of their name.
I think that we, as Metal fans especially, tend to look upon the Grammys in a different way simply because our genre rarely receives the recognition we feel it deserves. And , when it does, we remember the debacle that was "Jethro Tull". Our music just does not generate the kind of respect we feel it should. Nonetheless, when a member of Rage Against the Machine gets SO upset that he stops the show by climbing onto the stage and refusing to leave, we must take note and understand that our 'heroes" think quite highly of these things. They do mean something. |

It might be Priest. It might not be. But its cool that they can even put 'Grammy nominated' on Dissident Aggressor now.

Good morning fellow Priest fans
Well, well, well!!!!! So our favorite band has another Grammy Nomination under their collective belt. I had not heard that Becks, thanks for sharing!!
We all know how this story ends, but I must say that it makes me very happy to know that Judas Priest, almost 40 years young, are still relevant and recognized in the now!! Let's see if the likes of Coldplay and such can make the same claim 40 years from now!!!!!!
No matter the outcome, I am a very happy Priest fan!!!!!!!!

True. I'd even go so far as to say the original could compete with a lot of metal released nowadays, it's one kick ass song
