Yeah, im not trying to be mean, just sayin. You got to admit though, AI is starting to get scary. It can copy voices, faces, steal your job etc.

Exactly. This isn't the same thing... It's just all grouped together. I completely despise any artifical generation and I'd 100% disagree with the award if Now and Then is artificial.

Sucks they didn't win anything as I really thought they had a chance this time around.

Also, unrelated, but how have they not performed on SNL since 2009?

[Sanity Loan]

They don’t even announce anything rock-related during the main show?

[The Grohl]

I don't even see Green Day in the crowd 😠

What was that little red disk Billie had in his hand?

It's like a click button. I don't know what it's called but he had it at Kevin's birthday last month (it was on one of the band's Instagram stories)

It's on the table here near Billie

Here is how they looked way back in 2006 ❤️. Mike dirnt literally looks the same, lol. Billie NEEDS to start wearing eyeliner more often, not just during shows. Tre's still rockin the eyeliner 🥰.

I can go with RS winning, their age shouldn’t matter at all as long as the humans are still making music - just my opinion, but the Beatles record is a complete fake and that I object to.  Surely the likes of the Grammies should be trying to protect actual musicians and artists and not grouping AI/faked “music” alongside human performance but I guess with the amount of shit already out there that that boat has sailed! 
 

On a positive note, if you have to lose, losing to the Beatles and the Stones is no shame.  I’ve never heard of St Vincent before, will need to look them up.  As already said, the guys looked great and had fun on the red carpet.

Absolute crock of shit they didnt win any

This. They released a new album with new material in the same cycle as Green Day. Sure, I wanted Green Day to win, but it is what is. I wouldn't say they had their time and therefore should be considered as a legacy band.... by that token anyone could say Green Day had their time in the 90's and that they should make way for newer bands. Even people who was born the year AI was released, are 20 years old right now, fully grown adults with the right to vote, so I'm sure plenty of them would feel the same way about Green Day, that they had their time and are a legacy band now.

The Beatles though... !! They're just not an artist who is still making new music. I don't buy too much into the argument that it's AI generated, as @RongoIK said I think it's more accurate to think of it as a very powerful noise reduction tool. But it's still their voice, their lyrics, their arrangements, so I'm fine with that. But for me it's more a historical artifact that was restored, than something that should be competing (and winning) against artists who are still making new music. (And I also believe they are overly hyped to begin with).

I‘m really sad. They would have deserved it so much… I love that record!

Well, at least I’ve got a reason now for whining together with the Swiftie daughter…

[Little Boy Named Booze]

Meh at least that mean Green Day will win a Grammy when they'll be dead.

[Christian's Inferno!]

I wasn't really expecting Green Day to win anyway. At most, I thought maybe Dilemma might win. But it's the Grammys so who actually cares?

[jengd]

You are right but it still pisses me off 😡

[CherryBombs&Gasoline]

I couldn’t care less about the Grammys. It was great to see them get nominated as it’s a recognition of their work, but all in all, I just don’t like it when we turn art into a competition. I know that the Grammys are prestigious and all, but award shows are just a weird concept…

That Beatles thing though…I don’t know, that’s just bizarre.

Gotta love billie joe being a commercial for that watch he's getting in the pics and video interviews. Thats an almost 7 thousand dollar watch. He's never worn a watch before and I'm calling this bullshit.

Billie's staring into my soul and I love it 🤭

I hate to tell you that I think it’s actually an Omega Seamaster and costs about 12.5k GBP so around 15.5k USD.  Very nice and I think he’s worn it before but can’t remember where.  He also had a very nice gold chain in his wrist, you can tell it’s hefty by how it hangs. He got his bling out for the Grammies.

Looks like one of these novelty voice recorders.

But this begs the question: why do they take it around with them? Genuinely curious about this.

My husband has a great love of little noise machines (he has a whole assortment of fart machines, cartoon sounds etc) and just loves using them at the most inappropriate times, Billie’s little gadget made me think maybe he’s as bad!
