Good Luck to Chad and the Boys!

RHCP are also scheduled to perform during the ceromonies - like you say Mark, keep your eyes peeled for someone we all both know and his Mrs

Yep SA should win best album the Peppers really deserve to win an award. Hope GH gets a mention.

How about if soulmover wears a Glenn Hughes t-shirt to the big event?

Or one that says:



That would be acceptable, I think.


soulmover

You know that we GHCPs will be rooting for you!

GOOD LUCK TO "RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS"
"STADIUM ARCADIUM" SHOULD BE
THE ALBUM OF THE YEAR
I AM VERY THANKFULL TO CARL SWANN(GLENN MANAGER),
THAT HE WAS GIVE ME GLENN ALBUM-"MUSIC FOR THE DIVINE",
AND THERE I HAVE AUTOGRAPH FROM CHAD SMITH
HE IS WROТЕ TO ME ON HIS PICTURE:
"Hi Dani California" :):):)
SO,NOW EVERYBODY KNOW WHY MY USER NAME IS
"Dani California"

I'm rooting for RHCP and Dixie Chicks...not out of bias but because it's about flippin' time good music won grammys! I like Gnarls Barkley, Mary J Blige(adore her), Corinne Bailey Ray, John Legend, and many others nominated and wish them well too....but if the drowning cat known as James Blunt wins anything, Justin Timberlake gets away with Album of the Year, and the Black Eyed Peas get rewarded for their "music" it will be pure travesty!

Quote from Mark Hoffman

Don't care for the Dixie Chics (at all) They don't even write thier own music..

Don't mean to go off topic but like them or not, I'm glad they won because it proves that in a free country it is your sacrosanct right to say what you want without being ostracized. I know many people will read all sorts of political statements into this or say that they got lucky cause they were riding high in a climate of anti-Bush sentiment but if music can serve to prompt people to think differently, so be it.

A win for the Chicks was also a win for our Chad. So I think that makes him the big winner of the night. He made the whole show worth watching (in my opinion).

It was nice to see him playing with the Dixie Chicks earlier in the evening. It would have been nicer if they had actually turned a few lights on in the back so we could see him better but...

And as for the Pepper performance...as usual they started out only showing the three in the front. But as the song progressed he stole the show and they started giving him the coverage he has always deserved.

It may sound a little crazy but tonight I was prouder than ever to be a Chad fan. Kind of a little "I told you that man was good...."

Though you've got to love the expression on his face here...he's like, "hurry up and give me that Grammy before AK gets his hands on it!"

Quote from Mark Hoffman

. I am bothered that just because you are an entertainer or from Hollywood - that it means you automatically know all about politics or running a country.

Granted, they probably know about running a country as much as you or I would know. The real problem is, does the person who is acutally running the country know how to do it?

Quote from Mark Hoffman

I had heard a lot about John Mayer- but this was the first time I had heard him and seen him perform- I was very impressed- I bet the Grammy Award exposure is going to do him some real good- I know that I at least, will be buying a couple of his CD's very soon.

Mark

I can't stand John Mayer....I 'dunno, he just comes off to me as trying too hard to sound like his heroes (I assume) - of course, that's not a bad thing - but I just prefer hearing the originals such as SRV, Clapton, Beck etc, whoever he's trying to sound like at a particular point in time, even his vocals are remincisent of others and I simply hear no originality in his style. It just rubs me up the wrong way

Yeah, the Chili's performance reminded of the Orlando gig the other week, the rhythm section were hot, but the vocals were tired and therefore, lacking. Would of thought a song like "Hump De Bump" would of pumped up the crowd a bit more, but I guess the organizers thought the snow would be good TV.....even though it's not Xmas :p

For those who didn't have the chance to catch it last night, here's the Peppers performance.

Chris Rock does the introductions.....

Great performance from Soulmover, Flea and Frusciante who managed to steal the show and cover up for AK who seemed to have another struggling-to-get-those-notes-right night, but still managed to slip through safely to the other side

Anybody see that stick trick Chad did in that segment after the second chorus leading to the bridge I've seen a lot, but I have never seen that one!!!!


Well deserved award(s)!

Got to see the whole RHCP peformance since I recorded the whole programme - unfortunately German broadcaster PRO 7 seemed to have an off-night too, and only 1 hour was broadcast correctly - the rest was either "we are sorry...."-breaks or blank screen

So I only got to see 20 seconds of The Police, which I really wanted to see and The Dixie Chicks without any sound, which didn't really matter that much

Cheers,
Christian

Without trying to take this too off topic You can download/view Chad's performance with the Dixie Chicks from here and then below is the reunited, The Police, performance.

• THE POLICE WERE GREAT
• THE NEXT 3 HOURS WAS GARBAGE
• THE PEPPERS WERE COOL AND AL GORE HANDING THE TROPHY TO CHAD WAS PRICELESS !!!

The show could have had two performances and scrolled the winners across the screen and i could have spent my time being productive

Thanks, David - this is what I wanted so much to see!
And look here - youtube have not taken it down yet :p
Now let's hope for the World Tour...;)
