If they win a Grammy for someone else's song, that'd be stupid.

why? just because you prefer the original? or just because its a green day - U2 (add obligatory spitting session that true punk fans do") collaboration?

this isnt isnt about an original song. its about a collaboration. its about them doing it in support of those who lost everything because of hurricace Katrina. two of the most popular bands.... two hugely successful bands.. who obviously like each other... decided to get together to help others via the medium they feel most comfortable with.

they have been nominated for this because of the reason why they did this in the first place... and because a hell of a lot of people actually got it.. and enjoyed what they did.

sorry, but for me.. the reason they did this was well.. I dont have words for it. but to have two of my all time favourtie bands work together, despite a huge part of the fan base saying its stupid... I love watching people like these guys working together despite it being a supposedly uncool union. I love the fact that they all keep doing what they want to rather than what fans want/expect them to.

Seeing as the category is 'best performance', it's irrelevant whether it's a cover or not, it's the interpretation that counts. Anyway, I love GD's take on Working Class Hero, and I'm sure that if they were to win, John Lennon would be getting all the credit from them.

I thought WCH was great. And i don't see why they shouldn't get the award because it's a cover. It's for "Best Rock Performance" not best song writing.

You can't give out criticism any more now that you're up Green Day's manager's bottom.

I don't like the original more, no. I like the song just fine.

It is my opinion though, that artists should only get awards for their own work, not someone else's.

White Stripes are still amazing.

I didnt say they were terrible as a whole

the white stripes annoy me, i don't want them to win :P

High Five!

I still want Green Day or U2, Icky Thump can't hold a candle to them.

As much as I love that they've been nominated and want them to win, I believe it will either go to Daughtry or The White Stripes :/

tbh, their version of working class hero sucked

have you heard tai's version??

As its been said, WCH was a cover, and a terrible rendition of an already shit song at that. It should not win.

White stripes gets my vote.

But you are, sir.

Whenever GD tell you stuff, you announce (though not strictly allowed) and people flock to your site. The more people means more ad clicks, which in turn means more money for you and your retirement fund.

And you wouldn't want to annoy GD's management now.

That's cool. To be honest, I'm rooting for Daughtry on this one. I know everyone on here doesn't like them, but I happen to. If it were something other than Working Class Hero, I'd root for Green Day.
