Love Dimebag, Slash, and Kirk Hammett, but I actually do agree with them on that one. What about the 'best live band'??? Slipknot's live show definitely kicks ass, but for me it's a toss-up between them and Ill Nino. Have you seen Ill Nino's show? It's bad-ass!

ville valo.....heh, well i guess he has been building steam since bam margera started pimping his act......him are "barely" metal and even saying that makes me flinch a bit.....Mcr the used and lost prophets are REALLY not very fitting either though.....eeeeesh.

riff lord, golden god and underground awards are prolly the most dead on though.....

Uhh Nightwish definitely isn't new. The Used, Lostprophets, and My Chemical Romancec all play extremely sh**ty music. And they suck big time. Other than that, a good list of winners.

Suprised to see Herman Li up there for shredder... Don't disagree or anything, just didn't know how
well know Dragonforce are yet... So yea, Herman rocks, and was amazing at the mean fiddler last
March or whenever the show was, deffinatly kicked some a$$ there...

I agree with the comments before this that some of the choices are Hardly metal, but if mainstream
listeners are voting, you're going to see some crap, right? And then there's downright bullsh**...

Deff Ville Valo, Meshuggah, and Nightwish, though they are no way new, perhaps they're only just
touring here? Whatever...

Damn, how did the Used and MCR win?

Ville Valo as an Icon?

They could've at least given a posthumous award to Dimebag.

Is it that f***ing hard to do that? Come on people!

Boycott the mag, them and their readers are too busy voting sh** in like MCR and The Used, and not taking the time to at least give Dime the respect he deserves.

And it is an insult that that c.unt ville valo even got nominated....Love metal...what the f*** is that?

And what really p***ed me off is that Trivium and bullet for my valentine didn't get anything....

Metal hammer you suck!

yeah, that wasnt corey taylor, although if it was, i would ask why the f*** you sold out. And if he likes his fans so much, he would find a way to tell it without involving the words "exploration" or "expansion". that just makes me sick that these guys came from hating the media, and selling sh**, to completely selling out and selling their masks!!!

hell i don't even read this magazine and i'm disgusted by their defintion of "metal". i'm a fan of MCR and HIM, but i wouldn't call them metal anytime soon. how the f*** did the USED get in there anyway. awards are given out by stupid ppl who have nothing better to do with their lives. if artists want true appreciation for their music, stick to their fans. the fans show more goddamn appreciation than any award ever will.

okay, first of all slipknot IS NOT GAY!!!! They are awesome, i'll admit though that there newest cd isn't as good as the others, but its still awesome. you fags need to get a girlfriend. and second. you guys can call MCR and the used fags all you want, but if your in a band, theyre probably better then you. MCR is a f***ing awesome band, but i do agree they shouldn't be given the award because theyre not metal, same goes for the used.

By the way, if any of you say anything about slipknot again i will personaly find you and kick your ass. joey jordison is in that band and hes one of the best, shortest, and sexiest drummers of all f***ing time!!!!!

Best Live Band Slipknot, are they f***ing kidding?! Maybe best stage show or somthing, they're ok live, but Slayer, Sevendust, Machine Head are all better live bands, they sound better, sing right on, and have just as much energy.
Best UK band, where is Soilwork and Dark Tranquility from? I'm not sure, I just know they're from Europe and better than Lost Prophets.

And, yeah, if you're not happy with the "awards" the first best thing to do is to boycott... then revolt!

This is why I never like award shows.. Most the bands that win don't deserve it, and very few bands/people that win, well, deserve it! I'm truly p***ed that MCR and The Used are up there. I love SlipKnoT, but I don't think that they should've won the award for best live. Honest to god, i've seen better. I also agree with most people, and that Dimebag Darrel should have won the award for "Riff Lord."

I also hate award shows because of what half you people are doing, which is mindless b***hing. It's okay to get your opinion out in the open, but what you guys and gals are doing is f**king retarded!
