That's fucking great - I love Saints Are Coming, and it's a unique, passionate performance. They really deserve to win, and it would be so cool to see them perform it again.

:woot: oh yeah, would be great!!!!

Yay! Good for them, I'm glad to hear it!

It'll be stiff competition though considering how popular (and overplayed) How To Save A Life is though...

This is excellent news!!!

I think they'll win- the Academy doesn't miss an opportunity to reward their darlings- U2.

Plus it's a kick ass song done for a great cause, what more could they want? :thumbsup:

every other song is better than the saints are coming. OMGZZ TRUTH.

U2 however is a "safe" vote and that's usually what the grammy voters go for.

I hope the RHCPs win. Dani California is better than the Saints are coming in imo. I wasn't really all that bothered about the song.

I would have been if it was their own work though

but good luck to them anyway!

Not even. They totally ripped-off Mary Jane's Last Dance by Tom Petty.

My guess is that they will win. Like someone said before, U2 usually gets the majority of votes. And GD haven't been doing so bad these past couple of years either.

Oooh, Green Day vs. Red Hot Chili Peppers.

This should be intense. I think the Chili's may deserve it more (even though i hate Dani California) because they've been around longer, and have been though a whole hell of a lot more than Green Day.

But at the same time, Green Day and U2 made this song for charity, which is a plus. BUT it's not really their song.

Well, this is a tough one, but I still think I'm going with RHCP. :)

Have you heard Last Dance with Mary-Jane? It really sounds nothing like Dani California... :/

Yes. I have Tom Petty albums.

I'm no like, technical musician, and I managed to make the connection right away. The drums, guitar and even the lyrical content are too similar. Even the vocals start to come in at around the same time.

Edit: I even got my sis to listen to both songs, she had never heard either of them before, and tell me the similarities.

*Listened to parts of both songs* Okay, I kind of hear it now.

As I said, i hate that song anyways, but I think that the Chili's deserve to win. I mean, they've actually released an album (technically two) in the past year.

I said this in another thread, but they seem like one of those bands that even if you don't like them, you can't deny that they've worked their asses off to get where they are.

Either way, I'll be happy. I'm just not a huge U2 fan, and I'm in love with Stadium Arcadium, .:., I want the Chili's to win.
