The dust has settled on another blockbuster edition of the Grammys, and as happens every single year, the rock and metal communities are awash with people offering Big Loud Opinions on some of the nominations in this year's heavier categories - and the artists that ultimately walked away with the big wins.
Let's be frank: the Grammys has a piss-poor track record when it comes to treating metal in particular with the respect and reverence that it deserves. Its history is littered with metal-related snafus: Metallica inexplicably losing out to Jethro Tull in '89; Megadeth finally winning a Grammy in 2017 only to have Dave Mustaine played to the stage via a Metallica track (whoops!); those infamous mic issues that screwed up Metallica's own performance with Lady Gaga that same year (why are Metallica always involved with these things?!).
