Jaimoe Posted February 9, 2006 Report Share Posted February 9, 2006 When are they going to get rid of the outdated title/category: Best "Alternative" Rock Album? The White Stripes' "Get Behind Me Satan" won that award last night. Even if this was 1991, "Get Behind Me Satan" would not be considered "alternative".The "alternative" title was left behind in the last millenium.

backbacon Posted February 9, 2006 Report Share Posted February 9, 2006 I liked some of the performances. Paul McCartney doing a rockin Helter Skelter was pretty cool.U2 w/ Mary J. Blige doing One was great. MJB was going crazy!Some other good performances too. I forget them though.That little All-Star Sly Stone tribute was a trainwreck! Sly Stone came out and bambled at his organ and tried to sing for a bit. Couldn't even hear him. He went out in front of his organ for a bit and then walked off, leaving the others on stage to jam it out and eventually came to a dismal close. Who was up there... robert randolph, joss stone, santana I think, elvis costello, tons of others.. sly had quite the look going though, he did.When U2 won an award earlier, as they were getting up they started playing Mariah's song.. then at the end of the show when they won ... best band or whatever, they had just started into their speeches when they were cut off and the grammy guy started into this speech about New Orleans or something on the other stage. U2 were left standing there dumbfouned (I am guessing). You could hear the crowd laugh, I assume at U2's reaction to being cut off... thne there was a bit of a cheer as they left the stage.When buddy got done doing his speech there was a final performance with all kinds of people and wouldn't you know it, it get cut off too. The show just ended in the middle of their big hurricane tribute song.Anyone else catch this mess of a show? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's returned to his roots a few times in his career (namely on the Nebraska and Devils and Dust albums) and it sounds oh so sweet when he does.I thought his "Bring 'em home" line was perfect: it wasn't over-the-top and emotional, nor was it in the form of a clumsy acceptance speech. He made his point matter of factly and then walked away - it was awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peipunk Posted February 9, 2006 Report Share Posted February 9, 2006 I didn't see much, but I did see the Sly Stone trainwreck. I got the impression Sly was like "why the fuck are they making me do this, but I'll take the money". Another thing that struck me as strange was having Randy Jackson up posing on the bass; he was VERY obviously NOT playing, and there was a bass player in the shadows standing behind the drummer! Now, Randy was an incredible session bass player in the eighties, his resume looks like the Top 40 list for the decade.....but I guess he doesn't have enough chops these days to even FAKE something close to what was happening? If you have another bass player playing that you don't want people to see, why wouldn't you have him off stage instead of lurking in the shadows? I found that very bizarre.

Jaimoe Posted February 9, 2006 Report Share Posted February 9, 2006 Sly must have gotten a big payday to get lured out of seclusion for this tribute. Now he can go back to his addictions in peace unil he dies of a heart attack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Not Bob Posted February 9, 2006 Report Share Posted February 9, 2006 Stupid Grammy question : during the big medley at the end, what was the song Elvis Costello sang just before they brought on Sam Moore for In The Midnight Hour? I know that song, love it, but can't remember the name to save my life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ollie Posted February 9, 2006 Report Share Posted February 9, 2006 Hey punk, I also spotted Randy Jackson. I'm so deflated to hear that he wasn't even playing. Between him, Kelly Clarkson, Fantasia and the ridiculous group performances it felt like I was still watching Idol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcO Posted February 9, 2006 Report Share Posted February 9, 2006 before last night, I thought Sly Stone was dead! whaddya know?!?!The Grammys is always a mixture of chocolate and cheese, some sweet and some stinky.

TimmyB Posted February 9, 2006 Report Share Posted February 9, 2006 Bruce SpringsteenHow great was that?"Bring'em home"That was fantastic when the Boss said "Bring 'em home" at the end of "Devils + Dust."I'm a member of www.backstreets.com which is Bruce Springsteen's largest unofficial fan site and I was lucky enough to start a new thread titled "Bring 'em home" and it has stirred quite the uproar, as a lot of Springsteen fans don't appreciate his politics.Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimmyB Posted February 9, 2006 Report Share Posted February 9, 2006 It was an amazing Grammy moment and even more than that musical moment that Sly Stone came out of seclusion to perform during the all-star tribute to his band, Sly and the Family Stone.Yes he had a crazy blonde mohawk and hardly sang into the mic and his right hand seemed to be bandaged up with something, but it's not often the great Sly Stone comes out of his house let alone in front of millions of people on a world wide television broadcast.Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
