scuse me can i ask you a question? ok green day will perfome and this is awesome...but will be in the nominations?

I don't believe nominations have been announced yet (I just looked online and couldn't find any)...someone correct me if I'm wrong! However, I imagine that they would have performers who were nominated (not always, but I don't see why not...they're a pretty big band to ignore in at least the rock categories, and they cleaned up in 2005 so I don't think MTV will ignore them).

FUCK YES GREEN DAY, RUSSEL BRAND and MUSE this will be a great VMAs

Muse, really? God, I may actually have to watch this whole show now. :dry:

Haha, Russell Brand? He is awesome. Didn't he host last year...?

Yes he did!

they're actually nominated for the 3 things- best cinematography, best direction (or something like that) and best rock vid. Best Rock vid is the only one the public can vote for tho

I'm actually not all that familiar with the other Best Rock Video nominees, but I'll vote for Green Day just because. Hopefully it'll pick up the awards for Cinematography and Direction. It certainly at least deserves the Cinematography over that damn Single Ladies video.

Green Day is performing, and Russell Brand is hosting? I may actually watch the VMAs this year. I so hope they go home with a moon man! Or three... or they should just steal all of them, even awards they're not even nominated for. Just take them!

i think our only competiton would be fall out boy and paramor

the only reason why people (as in 12 yr old girls) would vote for paramore is because the song is for twilight. that's the main reason. ticks me off.

Who votes for Cinematography?

If 21 Guns is gonna win for anything it had better be that one.

You speak, or in this case type, the truth. As much as I like Twilight, it's the VIDEO awards, not the MOVIE awards. Although, I think the award for best song in a movie or whatever was the only one Twilight didn't get at the Movie Awards, and that was Paramore, and I'm pretty sure it was fan voted too. So we may have a chance with this one unless they want to make sure they don't lose again. I think I'll have to make an account just to vote to make sure that doesn't happen ;)

Between Paramore's shitty Twilight song and Kings Of Leon, I don't really think 21 Guns has a good chance, unfortunalty. :/

At least they're peroforming though. I really hope they do EJN, or do some sort of amazing collaboration with someone.

These awards are for music videos, and unfortunately they've released two unremarkable music videos. If they start being a bit braver with their choice of singles and videos (whoever it is that chooses them, fairly sure not the band), they might get somewhere.

Honestly, you'd think a band that sticks their neck out to make such a wonderful ambitious album would be allowed to stick their neck out a bit more with what they release from it. Releasing the two most conventional songs with less-than-ambitious videos doesn't do the album justice. Bring on East Jesus Nowhere!

Of course, we should all still get voting. You never know :happy:

which is y i said it.

but paramor is really influenced by green day, and the producer for thier new album is rob cavalo (green day's previous one for those who dont know) and in that rollingstone magazing with 'green day fights on' has an article where the beggining is hayley williams talking bout green day a bit and freakign out.

I don't think most Paramore (& Twilight) fans will make that connection. Even if they did they probably wouldn't care. Ultimately, Paramore is the one that was in the movie, and therefore the one they will vote for.

im not saying they will vote for green day, just saying that paramor isnt ALL bad. they have good taste, thier music just isnt the best.

First off: Am I blind or something? I clicked the vote link, but I don't see where to vote. Do you just click the link for their song? Nothing came up that said I voted.

I'm not shocked that they only got one main nomination, but I am upset. I mean, this is Green Day. When they first came out, Green Day were on MTV non-stop, or, at least that's what I've heard. They were nominated for 8 moonmen in '05, and won 7 of them! What's different now? This album was much more anticipation, and it's as good as AI, or possibly better, imo. I was expecting them to get a slew of nominations, and I'm disappointed that they didn't.

This just goes to show that the quality of the music band's make doesn't matter to the majority of young people anymore. I mean, KOL are alright, I guess, and some of the fellow nominees aren't TERRIBLE, but Green Day stick out like a sore thumb in that category. Most of the bands in there have only been around for a few years and only have a few catchy singles. Green Day are argubly one of the best rock bands of the generation. Yet, they only get one nominations? Bullshit.

This is the MTV VMA's, though. I guess I shouldn't have expected much. I'm sure when the Grammy's roll around early next year, our boys will get loaded with nominations. I'm sure a handful of Grammy's would be more of an honor to Billie, Mike, and Tre then stupid VMA moonmen too, haha.

As for them not winning - I think they can win. I mean, I don't see Paramore or FOB fans as being totally devoted and constantly voting for them. I think if us GD fans vote a lot, and we recruit others to vote, they will win. If we get trapped in the Twilight Zone and GD somehow lose, I'll be certain that I lost my faith in the majority of people and their tastes of music.

All in all, Green Day deserved more than one main nomination and two direction/editing or whatever else small MTV coughed up for them.

I think we GD fans can give them the Best Rock Video Moonman!

I love the 21 Guns video and have already voted 3 times!

Their performance alone will help their sales and even more so if they win.

On to the GRAMMYS!
