I've turned into my dad when all I ask is "who the heck is that". All I really wanted to do was watch the Foo Fighters play and see if by some strange reason they would win album of the year. Now I find myself watching it out of morbid curiosity.

Does anyone outside of country music, and the odd rock artist actually play an instrument anymore?


OVER....Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?

Sure there are. They just don't get the awards they deserve because of these whackos like Lady Gaga who get tons of applause for crap music. (She can sing, I'll admit that, but her music and lyrics blow).

Yawn. I don't think I've watched more than 20 minutes of a Grammy broadcast since the 1990's.

Fooeys won, i love the Fooeys..but Metal and rock need to be a seperate category. Megadeth and Fooeys going for the same award..shouldnt happen smile In the 90s i thought they went to a seperate award ? Useless smile

Remember when Jethro Tull won for best hard rock performance back in 89..maaaan lol, what a joke.

Go the Fooeys band

Most of those "instrument" playing musicians are today playing what's known as "Smooth Jazz".

I'd say that outside of R&B and the more bubblegum pop (especially female singers), nearly everyone plays. A lot of R&B and pop stars don't have "bands" per se, they use session musicians for recording and take a different group of musicians on tour. The spotlight is on the singer & dancers, not the guitarist, bassist, keyboardist, and drummer the tour manager hired at the union hall.

I think Sting, Paul McCartney and Geddy Lee are exceptions to that. smile

Exactly. And how many of them get camera time during a performance/music video? (other than Geddy Lee, obviously).

Lemmy is a good example of an electric guitarist who thinks he can play bass. Which is completely different than a bassist.

The thing that disturbed me most watching the Grammy's last night was the Beach Boys....WTF
They should now be called the Beach Old Geezer's..

Common man, there comes a point (age) where it just doesn't work anymore. And they're there.

PS Sir Paul is in that category too.
